Qsnsral Bcott Defeated for tin Presidency. Many of our readers who have not already learned the fact, will be surprised to hear that WntriELD SCOTT is so bsdly beaten in his re cent race for the Presidency. Although we had misgiving* since the State election*, we oofifes* we were not prepared for the overpow ering majority which has been thrown against Hoch a man, as the whig party presented to the country for the highest office among the people. We were not entirely prepared for such a result, for we believed Gen. SCOTT was too well known and appreciated all over the Union, to be thus defeated, by one whose history occupies so «rnall a spaco in the annals of the times. We thought his public service* so far otit-weiged those of Mr. Pierce, that the people could not hesitate in their choice between the two. We thought Republics were not ungrateful, but were ever willing to award the high places within their gift, to those who had rendered the most signal services to the country. Such, we hoped, would be the case with Scott, whose patriotism is undoubted, and whose services are without a parallel.

We have always been warmly attached to the principles of the whig pssrty. Their policy has been always conservative,yetliberal,beneficent and pacific. The prosent administration has taken the country unharmed through difficulties, which we could hardly hope would have been so well conducted, had the chief power and authority been in the hands of the democratic party. We cherish law and order, peace, the useful arts, public works, manufactures, industry, economy and quietude at home, and good will to nations abroad while it seems to us that our political opponents are for upturning all these, seeking something to dazzle the million, "leaving their own to stand on foreign ground," opposing American industry and legislating for the benefit of Europe rather than our own people, and at all times with weak nations, ready to appeal to arms to settle the most trifling difficulty, with the view principally, of making party capital. Such, we think, has been the case heretofore, and we Bee nothing in the progress of party views which indicates anything better to come. It was fully shown in the nomination of Mr. POLK, nnd HAS been repeated in the case of Mr. PIEROIS, that "political machine" created and controlled the public opinion, and judging from the past, the future may be told with tolerable

precision. It were bootless now, to speculate upon the causes which defeated the whig candidate for the Presidency. Very many, if not all the factions of the times seem to have united against Gen. Scott. The Van Buren Free Soil party of the north were sido by side with the disunionists of the south, in supporting Mr. PricnoE. The Native party liked PIERCE better than SOOTT aud refuted their suport to one who lost other votes because of the charge of JVatieUm. The Anti Renters (40,000 strong) resolved to go for PttacE. SCOTT was charged with heading the disgraceful mob that destroyed the Catholic Churches in Philadelphia many years ago, and thus was alienated an im mense vote. The

platform was against

nnreavBimoa which cut off another largo class of voters, while the word "democrat," and "Jcffrrsonian Democracy" drove out judgment reflection and investigation, "led captivity captive," and finished a work which we hope may not bo sorely regretted. All these incongruities camo together to defeat the whig candidate how they can all remain together hereafter, in supporting Mr. PIMOE, (who cannot please all,) remains to be seen. We look upon a long-continued adhesion as entirely out of the range of probabilities. Too large a portion of our people have no time for reading and in vestigation, and must uecessarily rely upon others. They have been deteived.

It will not do for the whig party now to fcive up and lie still. Our opponents, flushed with victory and claiming spoils in all quarters, S,v U1, perhaps, run riot in theit excesses. It is the duty of good patriots to watch and warn them, and save the country from harm. There is more need or vigilant watchfulness now, than ever before, and we hope that every whig xentinel will be upon the lookout, and point out dangers, that they may be timely shunned.

Although we feel much disposed to rejoice over so gratifying a result, (the election of Pierce,) yet as it is no more than we have long anticipated, we shall only congratulate the Democracy and the country upon BO glorious a triumph. Jt tea* a ante* tn wiick teat involved tie selvotwn of the Union, and nobly has the country, sustained her interests.—Journal.

So writes the editor of the Terre-Haute Jonrrial, and we really suppose he believes what he has written, especially as be is a little romantic in his temperament and disposition. We arc simple enough to think the country would not have been lost tinder an administration headed by Gen. Scott—in fact, we have more confidence in him (Scott) than we could possibly have in Gen. Pierce, and we judge only from the past history and career of the two gentlemen. But we differ hugely. Pierce is elected, and the Journal thinks "the salvation of the Union" depended upon it I Our poor country has stood many hard trials in her history, and it seems another of the same sort is coming upon her again, though indeed, we hope not. Under democratic nile, a war was brought about with Mexico which whig generals fought through with success, and though the glory of said conquests is now the brightest feather in the tawdry caps of the Pierce party the fruit* of said war shook the entire confeder acy from the centre to the circumference and nothing but the Wisdom of such men as Clay, Webster, Fillmore, Cass, Ac., prevented the dissolution of a Union which is BOW justly the pride of the west, and the admiration of both hemispheres.

Pierce's election has saved the Union! Wait, sir, until you pass the first year of his administration, aud perhaps you may think otherwise. Wait until your President escapes from such difficulties as have surrouuded the present administration, and you may claim some credit for Mr. Pierce. Your man is yet untri ed. He has held some prominent stations, in which he gave no evidence of genius or ability beyond those around him. ..He went from bis own State Legislature to Congress, to the U.

The editor calls the result "a glorious triumph," and since all the fag ends of all the eastern factions joined in to help to make it, tho abolitionists, free-soilers, anti-renters, «fec., Ac., we suppose we shall have another plank or two in the democratic platform to suit them, although they said the Baltimore platform was good enough. Progression is the word, and it wont do to stand still and let well enough alone. Wait, Mr. Editor, until Mr. Pierce has half finished his administration, and see then if you can say, the "salvation of the Union" depended upon his success. We do not wish to pre-judge him, nor brood over apprehended injuries to the constitution and laws, and to the country, but, sir, the signs of the times portend evil, and we wish you and all others not to lay aside your cool judgment entirely, while shouting blindly over a result, the end of which uo one can predict. Take in your rooster, be cool, and keep an eye to the main chance (which seems to govern your pen,) until after you are assured no danger js near.

A gentleman residing in this city, and possessed of property to the amount of ten thousand dollars, is said to havo lost his all by the result of the late election. He also borrowed several hundred dollars of his friends which he staked upon the issue of the contest. The person in question, by depending upon chance nas become ruined.—Cin. Com.

We suppose the whig party are pretty generally broke, especially those who had too much confidence in Scott. We are sorry for those whose losses may injure their business, or families, and heartily wish them a speedy recuperation. In all cases of haxard no one should risk an amount that would be materially felt, if lost in fact, all such risks had better be avoided, for it only makes the better try so much the harder to beat you, regardless, sometimes, of every honorable principle, or even fair dealing.

U* The Journal calls Franklin Pierce "the tried and true patriot and statesman." Such editors used to apply such terms of common dation to Jackson, Silas Wright, Cass, Buchan an. Ac., all of whom were and are very unlike Franklin Pierce, in almost every respect. Mr. Pierce was made into a great roan in one day at Baltimore, while the renown of the others arose from a lifetime in the public service.— The short road to notoriety suits Mr. P. better than the old fashioned thoroughfare which others travel for half centuries.

83" The Journal complains of some of the Scott tickets which were used in the late election in this place. The most deceptive tickets we saw were those headed "democratic ticket1 with Pierce elector*, but tcifhomt the names of Pierce and King. Such tickets, by bending over, or cutting off the words "democratic ticket," could have been imposed upon unsuspecting whigs as Scott ticket®. All of our tickets had Scorr and OSAMA* on them, so that they could deceive no one that could read printing. Soch was not the case with the other party. We have but little doubt that some whigs were deceived by the tickets we allade to, but we shall not make a poor month about it.

AUSTRIAN DICTATION—Austria did not the reception given to Kossuth in the United States and, knowing her inability to punish this country for the act, she has taken the milder course of sending here a charge to regulate our elections.

When foreign governments or officials take part in out elections, it is time for the American people to administer a rebuke which shall prevent such impudent interference for the future.—Clipper.

This interference was in New York, by August Belmont, the Austrian Consul, who was a flaming advocate for Pierce and King! His intermeddling, however, was denounced at the time, by some of the Pierce men.

Washington Monument.

The box, labeled "One dime to the memory of Washington," received about seventy-four dollars on tho day of the election. If every election precinct in the Union has done projortionably well, a vast sum of money has jeen raised to aid in building a monument to the memory of the Father of his Country. Madison Banner.

The box for the same purpose in this place took in $81,75 in small change, and $4,25 in Lost Creek, which was sold for A CHECK OF NINETY DOLLARS, and remitted to Washing-

Before the election, the Banner, we think it was, asked "which of the great cities of the State, New Albany, Madison or Indianapolis, will contribute most for this noble purpose Our town has beaten Madison, as it has beaten her in whig votes, and we suppose too, when wo see the amount for the two other cities, we shall also be ahead of them. The "cities^ must try again. "It will never do to give it up so New Albany raised $35,00 at the State election.

"One of the best weeklies on our exchange list is the Wabash Express. We hope the good people of Terre-Haute patronise it well."

We owe the Madison Banner an oyster supper for the above, and will take pains to tender payment whenever we catch the editor hungry—and ourself in funds.

We must now abuse the Banner a little.— From 12 to 20 whigs call at our office every morning to read the news, and they generally quarrrl as to which shall have the Banner.— On one occasion, recently, while the Banner was in hand, another demanded it, which was refused, until the reader came to the lengthy telegraphic reports, which put down Connecticut, Rhode Island, New Jersey. Delaware and Maryland for Pierce. "Here," said the reader, "take this paper," "I'm sick," and he put on his cloak and went out muttering "thunder-er-r!" "I did not believe Brown, but Woollen has killed me."

So you see the Banner is the standard in this quarter.

U" We shall soon see our friends of the oth er party, gouging one another terribly, in parcelling out the offices among themselves, and as there is not enough for all, the more prominent will be belabored the most heartily. We shall be a disinterested spectator, and stand by to see fair play. Our Post Office will be the richest bone hereabouts, which only one can have, and we advise all to set the triggers now. Telegraph Mr. Pierce at Concord write to Wm. J. Brown, and visit John G. Davis instanter. "It is the early bird that catches the worm."

Besides the little offices in this State, Indi ana can furnish the President elect, his whole cabinet, and not much miss the important ma terial. We arc a great people, and we hope the President will not worry himself in his se lections, when the Hoosier State is so ready to serve him in this way. Mr. Pettit, especially, must be where he can cleanse the Augean stable, and then cleanse himself. He is such a thorough roan, and loves to hate the whigs so well. It will not do, either, to leave Mr. Willard in the tuppenny office he is shortly to have.

We have prepared the following correct statement of the electoral TOtea given to the various candidates for President and Vice President of the United States siuce the adoption of the constitution. It should be observed that at the first four elections the colleges of electors were required to vote for two persons, the highest of whom should be President, and the next highest Vice President of the United States. In consequence of the equal vote between Jefferson and Burr in 1800, the constitution was amended so as to require the President and Vice President to be voted for separately, as at present. 1788—FIRST TERM.

or as a substitute for the rail and platik fence has been so fully tested that it is scarcely necessarv to hay much in its favor, as all who have tested it, are fully satisfied of its entire adaptation to the uses above mentioned. It. is deemed superior to all other descriptors of fence, for the following rea»««»» to-wit:

First. As oeing less expensive second, as more durable third, as more beautiful. It is described in the "Western Horticulturist," as rapid in growth, graceful in its outline, "and has the excellent quality of retaining its rich, lossy, green leaves until extreme frost. Asa edge plant, its merits are fully appreciated, and iu that form is being rapidly diffused over our country."

This description of fence can be commenced at a cost of fifty dollars per mile, for the plants and after being plantou they require no more labor than is neccssary to cultivate a row of corn.

In fouryears, with clipping twice each year, a fence is produced capable of resisting every description of stock, and which, instead of depreciating, will become annually more durable and more beautiful. *..-v
