On Monday la«t. Messrs. Thomas Dowling and William K. Edward*, were elected to the legislature from this county. The Democrats had no candidate* in (he Held, but genenlly gave aingle vote for Mr. (Jookerly. Judge Kinney withdrew from the canvass a few dsys previous to the election, le iving the contest between the three gentlemen above named.

M. M. Hickcox was re-elected Sheriff. Andrew Wilkins, circled Probate Judge. Ithmaol Pugh, Commissioner 2d District. Thomas Walker, Coroner. The Free School System was defeated by a •mall majority. We sh-dl publish the full returns ia our next.

Barbacuc nt Lock port. The Free Bsrbacue which was given at Lockport on last Saturday, by the citixena of Riley township, to the returned volunteers of Captain Cochran's company was well attended. The dinner wis given in a beautiful grove about a quarter of a mile from town. The table was loaded with fruits am! meats in abundance, and amply sufficient to feed the lirge multitude in attendance, which numbered from two to three thousand. A 'welcome' to the volunteers, on the part of the citixena of Riley( was delivered by Mr. Cookerly, and a rrs|onaa by I,t. Mullen, on the part of the company. We intended giving a full description of the proceedings, but have deferred it until too late. Every thing was conducted in the right spit it and with order and decorum. The hoys of 01l Riley area generous and hospitable •at of fellows, and deserve great praise for the manner in which their dinner was gotten up. A free barbaeue we understand ia to be given by the citixena of Clay county, at Cloverland, to the same company., on next Friday.

Fort Harrison Muss Meeting. The Committee appointed to make arrange* men ia for this GRAND RALLY OF THE PEOPLE on the 6th of 3eptemler next, met on Saturday last, as will be observed by their proceedings published in another column, and have very judiciously determined, as we believe, tn increase their number in order to give greater efficiency to their acts. It is intended to nukn this meeting what it professes to ho, a meeting of the People and we have no doubt, but the hardy yeomanry of our country will be therein countless numbers.

Extensive preparations will be made for the reception of all who nrwy visit Fort Harrison upon this interesting occasion. The latch string of ev. ery true Whig will be out, snd we anticipate a mighty gathering—another 1840 rally.

ORMOX BIVI»—It will be observed, by referring to our Congressional news that this bill, with th« Wilmot Proviso annexed, has passed the House of Representatives by a large majority.— What its fate will be in the Senate, we cannot predict The Cincinnati Alias, has the following rentsrks upon the subject

The mjgority in the House of Representatives against striking out ths Proviso waa 36, the vote being 114 to 88. The majority on the paaaage of the bill was yet larger. it cannot be denied, that ait immense majority of the p«-opW are in favor of the immediate organixation of a Territorial Gov. eminent in Oregon, and that, too, with the slavery prohibition. Will the Senate rraiat the avalanche of Popular Feeling We think not. Mr. Clayton, Mr. Phelps, and others of the Compromise rim ate sensible people. Colonel Benton will go with them, and the vast territory of the Pacific will come uuder the provisions of the ordiuauce of 1787,

Gen. Taylor—TwHmony of Father McElror. if The late father of Anthony Rcy, sod »h» venerable father MeEIroy, now pastor of the Bmfi* colt street Catbolic Church in Boston, were sppointed Chsplakisin the army of the United

onder Jen. Taylor, in 1846. The talented end liberal editor of the Albsny Evening •lonrwd, Thnrlow Weed. Esq., in a recent visit to Boston, called on Father McElroy, and obtained from that distinguished clergymen the followmg character of Geo. Taylor. Mr. Weed says j"We called, a few evenings since, when in Boston, li|on ibe venerable Father McElroy, one of f?en» Taylor'* Chaplains, who is now pastor of a Church in Endicntt street, and who it eonfeueiiitf among the mo*t rnliphtened^ and devoted Philanthropist and Christian* in the Union. He ton* near Gen. Taylor through hi* mott trying tc.cnIn. He confirms, in the moat emphatic lanenase, all the highly faVoraWe opinions wehad previously heard expressed by Maj. Kilbay, Capt. Henry, and other distinguished officers who have served long and reputably with him. Father MeElrm/tay* thai Gen. Taylor in a truly great and good. man. Courage, guided by prudence, and justice, tempered with hnroanity, are,with Hen. Taylor, prominent characteristics. Tempersnte and simplicity of habits and manner mark his intercourse with society. Integrity and P»triotixni stand out bol.llv in all his official acts.— In a word, Father MrElroy expresses, as the result nf a familiar acquaintance, hia conviction, that Gen. Taylor, in the elements that form hia character, arid the motives and oljects which prompt and uuide him. bears a strong snd msrked resemblance to Wsshinston. "The concurring testimony of good men, sol diers, eiiixens, statesmen and divines, in favor of Gen. Taylor, under circumstances which might be expected to provoke conflicting opinions, goes far to establish ihe patriotism and purity o/ his character. If there were seams in his corslet, his opponents. now that he is a candidate for President, would find them out, and send their javelins through them. If there were blemishes in his character, or stains upon his reputation, hi* rivals would lie sure to point them out. But while his friends refer with prido to Gen. Taylor's vinues, liis opponents find him wholly unassailable.

Tlic Dead Sen JExp^ilillon. We are pleased to learn from privnte letters, savs the Boston Transcript, thnt the Dead Sea Exploring party have auccrBxfiilly and satisfactorily completed their task, and returned to Jerusa. lem, where they were on the 10th of May. They have sounded the sea in all its parts, to the depth of 600 feet, and found the bottom crusted with crystalized salt. The pealilential effects sttributed to the waters turn out to be fabulous.— Ducks were seen skimming over the surface, and partridges abounded along the shore. The party were upon the sea in their boats, or encamped on its borders, for some two months, and their researches and estimates have been of the most thorough and interesting character. .All were in excellent health and spirits, r.o sickness or accident having occurred. By tho Arabs they had been received and uniformly treated with the utmost kindness snd attention. The Syrians consider "the men of the Jordan." as they call them, the greatest heroes of the ilny. Lieutenant* Lynch and Dale will visit, under the most favorable circumstances, all the places made memorable in Scripture history and wemny expect from* tbem a highly interesting account of their explorations of ihe Dead Sea, and their adventures in the Holy Laud.

STRAMKH WINM ROKK.—Many of our readers will, no doubt, recollect this boat, which was detained at our lauding last spring, in consequence of being too large to pass through the bridge draw. We regret to learn that she was enliroly consumed by Are, st Cairo, on the 25th of last month, and that her gentlemanly and enterprising owner, Capt. Goodrich, will be a heavy sufferer by the loss—his policy of insurnnco having just expired.

The Cairo (III..) Delta says that the steamer White Rose—plying lietween Cairo and Louisvillo—caught fire at the Cairo wharf, on the morning of the 25th inst. The White Rose was owned by Capt. Goodrich, who also commanded her. Tltero was no insurance on her. She had on hoard about 200 tons freight, consisting principally nf produce, part of which belonged to Capt. Goodrich, and part to a gentleman of Louisville. Boat and cargo a total loss.

Grciit Exdiemcnt nt Pittsburgh— Cotton Operatives on a Strike— Pennsylvania Mills attacked—

SlieiifT nnd Posse Dispersed— Several badly Wounded. PiTTsacaoH, July 31st, P. M. The greatest excitement prevails here at present, in consequence of an attack made on some of the cotton mills in Allegheneytown, by a large number of o|ieratives.

As soon ss the ten hour law, whicli passed during the last session of tho Legislature, took effect, the manufscturers declared that they could not observe the law and compete with eastern factories, and accordingly sus|iended operations.— Some of them subsequently resumed, the operatives sgreeing, principally from necessity, to work ••long time." None of the latter, however, were contented, and the •'Victory" operatives struck for the ten hour Isw. Some of them, probably from necessity, again went to work in the Peru Mills, Allegheneytown, when they were sttscked by the other operatives.

They have dispersed the Sheriff's pome. Sev. er»l police officers were badly wounded. The Sheriff was also wounded. The operatives have succeeded in taking possession ef the factory. A number of persons were badly hurt The windows and doors of ihe factory, and some of the machinery, are injured. The operatives appear to have carried die day. The excitement still conlinucs.

ST Gen. Lopes, of Cube, said to be the intended leader of the revolution contemplated in IhatiaUud, arrived at Providence, Rhode Ialand, few days ago, in the brig Neptune, with hit son and servant, and proceeded the naxt day to New York. Geo. Lopes retched Mstanxaa just at the Neptone was leaving, the only vessel bound immediately for a foreign port. Several arrests bad been made previous to his depature.

17 By the latest advices from Paris, shows that tbe charges brought against the insurgents, who recently attempted io gain possession of Paris, ol having poisoned the ballets with which tbey shot at the soldier*—and of having poisoned tbe branny and othet liquor*, drank by tbe soldiers, and orderly citixena, having been investigated, tare oat to be entirely unfounded.

Womiir's RIOHTS.—A portion of the Fair Sex have lately held a Convention somewhere east, for the purpose of redressing the grievancea they suffer from men. Among them they enumerate the following:

He has never pemitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the electiv^ franchise. He has compelled her to submit to lawa in the formation of which she has had no voice.

Having deprived her of this first right of a citizen. the elective franchise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legislation, he has oppressed her on all sides.

The fame of General Hsrrison rested on his victory at the Thames. One of the active Brieailier Generals in his srmy, snd in the battle, was Lewis Cat*.— Vineennes Sun.

Do you recollect Mr. Sun, when this same Gen. Harrison was candidate for the Presidency, that you in common with all the Locofocos declared that "his victory at the Thamea" was a very small aflsir, and that he waa not within several mi|ea of the field during the engagement!

EMIGRATION.—From the report of the colonial land emigration commiaaioners it appears that in the course of last year aa many as 358.270 persons emigrated from tbe United Kingdom, 63,000 from England, 5,600 from Scotland, and 179,400 from Ireland, being considerably beyond tbe number of emigrants in preceding years.

Hall, stating their repugnance to tbe propoS' ed union. Mr. Martin, the proprietor of the Irish Felon, hud op-till last night evaded the vigilance of the police, j^v

Mr, Devin Reilly has written to the Attorney General to avow the authorship of the articles bearing bis signature, on the understanding that Mr. Martin shall not be prosecuted for any past publication in the Felon.

The Irish Tribune, No. 6, has just come to hand. It continues to wage a determined and hazardous war with the Government) and we should not wonder much if its proprietors would be prosecuted under the gagging act for felony. In an article entitled "How to conquer," we find the following startling language: "To root out Irish landlords, and exterminate landlordism—to eradicate it, toot and branch, out of the island—should be the punctum solicits of Irish libertv. Extermination of Irish landlordism should be the first war cry, should be the password of an army of independence—the constant theme of clubs—the first deliberation of the Council of three hundred. What we earnestly advise the Irish people is, to keep this question of the land before their eyes for a few weeks—talk of it in private— lecture on it in clubs—converse on it in fairs, markets and chapel greens—until at last they see the evil as it is, in its full enormity, until they see the plain and easy remedy before them to overcome this evil, and then make use of the clubs for the purpose for which they were intended. Let them learn that in Ireland is the most glaring instance of fuedal landlordism. Let them know that to get rid of it is to get rid of the evils of the last fifty years and, instead of shouting for repeal, union, and the league with moral force at its back, let them shoulder their musket and pike, and shout God and their right, and pay no rent until the land is divided and feudal tenure abolished."

Such is a sample of tills week's Tribune. Surely the Attorney General cannot Ret over calling its publisher to order. We shall see. The accounts respecting the organization of the Clubs throughout the country are calculated, and justly too, to excite much alarm in the minds ol those who oppose the repeal project.

The Irish Confederation have taken the preparatory steps for an appeal against the trial and conviction of Gogaritv, English, and others, for drilling and training. It ia somewhat rematkabie that the provisions of the act under which these persons were indicted, were unknown to at least three fourths of the Irish bar. Yet despite its unknown existence one of the offenders is banished with thieves and murderers from his native land!

Our Cork correspondent, in a letter dated yesterday morning, states that the Clubs of that city had been severallv visited by head constable Ctowly, sergeant Byrne, and other members of the police force. The object of their visit is unknown, further than their own expressions would convey, vir. that they were acting under the authority and by the instruction of the superior officers.

Belfast letters of yesterday state that the Belfast Protestant Repeal Aasociation had issued an address to the Orangemen of Ulster, relative to the contemplated proceasions on the 12th instant, in which they cite William III., and Martin Luther, as exsmples of repealers, expose the fallacy of England being a strictly Protestant country, and call upon them to assert in their lodges that it ia the opinion of the Orangemen of Ulster that the act of Union ought to be repealed, and a domestic legislature re-established iu Ireland.

For holding such sentiments as these, no less than 25 members have been expelled from the orange institution.

Ten men arrived here this morning from St. Joseph, direct from Oregon. iThey made the trip to this city in 87

days. On the 10th of March a battle was fought between the Indiana and the Oregon Regiment, in which the former were defeated, with fifty killed and many wounded. The Americans lost nine killed and ten wounded.

The pursuit of the Indians was abandoned for want of provision and ammunition.

The Regiment haa been successful in defending the Territory. They were in great want of provision*, ammunition and horses.

Col. Gillian, who commanded the Regiment was killed after the battle by Uie accidental discharge of a rifle.

This medicine is composed of articles of the primest and purest quality, and is alwavs made by the proprietor in person, after the established tonns of pharmacy, (which cannot be said of the many Tonics now flooding the Western and Southwestern country.) and in ibis respect alone is rendered greatly superior to the remedies usually prepared and sold in the countrr.

By its aperient and powerful diaphoretic properties, added to Its tonic qualities, it rendered eminently superior to Quinine and other remedies as a general and ponular Tonic in alt case® whatever where Tonics are pn»p»*r to be administered. The proprietor, therefore, would respectfully Invite practitioners and the public eenerally to rive it but a lair trial, and they will then be convinced of iu great superiority over all other remedies now iu use for the purposes specified.

Persons livlnp In districts of country subject to Acueand Fever, Chills and Fever, or Bullous Fevers would dor well to keeps supply of this valuable remedy always on hand, especially if medical aid canmA be couvenieutly

The proprietor has now in his possession hundreds of certificates of lis value, given by persons who have used It, with many letters from merchants who have sold It largely in their country, as well as from ninny respectahln practitioners, who have used It in preference to other remedies, attesting its value. For the satisfaction of thosv not acquainted with iis valuable curative powers the following letters anu certificates are given from the many in his possession: v-t*- ts~"

Messrs. Wilson, Pettet it Pmith—Gentlemen: The author of this letter is th« meaere suhjeoi who presented hlmseif at your counter, on Friday, the 15ih insi.. under a complete state nf debility from Fever and A*ne. Yen will recollect I took a bottle of Smith's Tonic Pyrup.al your earnest solicitation, and. bein* so very weak, I ifht not wish to lake any medicine until 1 sot home, when 1 could receive proper attention. I rot home on Sabbath morning In time to lake two doses before my shake came on. It came on at its usual hour (10 o'clock, A. M„) as hard as usual, but it lasted but a short time. The fever also left me a sreat deal sooner than usual. In the erewlue I resumed the Tonic, as directed, and only hail time intake three doses until bedtime. Next morning, aftes breakfrst. I continued taking it until the hour of Aeue and Fever had passed, when I dropned it. and was entirety ft«e from the disease. I did not think It possible for medicine to restore a person as fast as the Tonic restored me. The greatest difficulty now is to govern uiy appetite. 1 do think, without exception, it is the best medicine 1 evet took. Most respectfully,

Messrs. Wilson, Pettet Smith—Oentleman: You will please send me two dosen Smith's Ionic Syrup. 1 cannot close my letter without informing you that, uuf of the three doreu of the Tonic Syrup I bourhi of you this last spring, I have only two or three bottles now on hand. It is called for almost diiilji, and it has never felled in the first instance of producing au effectual cure. It is the best medicine for the cure of Chills anil Fever or Ague and Fever that I have ever seen. Your early attention to the above order will much oblige yonr friend.

We, the undersigned, do hereby cheerfully certify that we have sold largely of Smith's Tonic Svrnp In our neighborhood. and~in very many cases have personally seen and known It used among our customers, and from what we have seen and know of its use, do, without hesitation, recommend it to our friends and the public penerally as the most speedy, permanent, and innocent remedy that we have ever seen or heard of In the cure of Agn» anu Fever orChills aud Fever, and we do believe that It will In no case fail to cure if the directions are properly followed L.
