The Boston Post says: These results indicate that the last days of Federal ism in Massachusetts are at hand.” And the Pennjyluanian^ noticing these wonderful changes, says ; “In John Davij’ own county, Worcester, where Gen. Harrison had a majority of 4773, whicUia more than he received in any other county in the Union, “honest John ” is now 200 votes short of a majori ty, and the whig senatorial ticket is defeated. In Efssex county, vvhich gave Harrison a major ity of 3543, the democrats are now ahead and are believed to liave elected the;r ticket for Senators “This great change, exceeding in proportion to the size of the state, tliose of Ohio and New York, id presumed to be owing in part to the course taken by Gov. Davis and the whig party against popular principles, in reference to tho Rhode Island contro versy'. So viewing it, the result is a matter for heartfelt congratulation, inasmuch as the Rhode Is land question involved principles more important than any others which have been connected with the politics of the present year. It involved the great question whether the ri^ht of sovereignly re sides in the people, as alleged in iJie Declaration of Independence, or in an oligarchy, ai* asserted by the upholders ot the corrupt and oppressive system ot Europe.” The Boston Post, speaking of the general result of this election, says: “ The extent of the real triumph of the Democra cy here in the recent glorious election, is not to be estimated by the numbers we luive elected, but by the numbers we iiave defeated. We have done as mucii as Ohio 5 and when the old Fetleral substra tum we have liad to work upon ia coudidered, Mae- sachusetla ia not behind New York even, in the glo rious revolution her Democracy have effected iuThis last strong hold of old Federalism and modern Whiggery. Had a plurality elected as in those States, we should have chosen our Governor and Lieuteiiant Govertior, six out of the ten members of Congress, twenty-four out of the forty Senators, and a decided majority of the House. As it is, the Abo lition votes have come in aid of the Whig votes to save them I’rom an entire rout. Out of ten mem bers of Congress, the Whigs have barely saved three Of the Senate, which in former years w’as uniformly without a Democrat, they have elected but ?2i’ne, and the Democrats probably and our chance is so f’ar better than theirs lor tlie House. Which party is to have the Legislature and Govern or, depends upon the Representative vacancies to be filled by the towns on the two days next follow ing the general election, and on the fourth Monday in November; and in this last test our chance is equal with, if not better than theira. If the impulse that has carried us thus far so gloriously, is btii rightly felt in the unrepresented Democratic towns, and the charge upon the enemy is vigorously and unitedly made, a victory will assuredly be ours m de tail, as it has already been in the general rout of the main body of the toe. “And the Democracy have achieved all this with clean and open hands. No false issues, no amalga mations, no yielding of principle to expediency, but all has been a fair stand up tight on the great doc trines oi Government and popular rights.” P. S. By the last npail, we received the Dedham full We cannot imagine how the Editor of the Standard took up the impression that we were op posed to the LegKslature filljng :he clHces at its dis posal with Democrats. Certainly not from any thing which has ever appeared m our columns. Ot\ the contrary, we expressly slated, in the paper pre vious to that in whicix we copied the article from the Fayetteville Carolinian alludedto by the Editor of the Standard, that all we could assure our oppo nents on this subject was, that “none of their tribe would be permitted to fill any office longer than a new tlcction could b© aaaiie.” Yes, w'e go for “a clean sweep;”—we don’t beljefe in the policy of an administration, “^tate or National, giving the posts, of honor, trust, and influence to its enemies to be used to its own destruction, and to prevent a farr administration of the government upon the princi ples of the party in power—that is, when political friends are to be found equally as capable of filluig these offices as political t;r^c:nueSL This i*! our doc- irme and we never professed an}' other on this sub- j» ct.

Next to k>outh Carolina, ^lichigan is the most unanimouely Democratic of any of the States of the Union. At the late election for members of her Legislature, every Senator elected is a Democrat. nearly every County in the State gave a Democratic majority^ and about four to eight coons only slipped into the House from Counties where local questions affected the election. Ninety-nine cheers for the Michigan Democracy ! Messrs. Woodbiidge and Porter, the Federal Clay Senators from that State, must feel rayther blue at these results, DELAWARE. In this Slate, the Federalists have probably elect ed a majority of the members of the Legislature, and Rodney (fed.) beats Jones (dem.) 8 votes for Congress. Over this result, the coon papers art making as much noise as if,they had really gained a victory. It should be rcco.Hected, that the coon majority in Delaware in 1840 was over 1,000. The nature of ihcir victory now maybe guessed at from hour of execution, he committed suicide, by stabbing himself in the heart with a bowie-knife. The af fair produced great excitement in New-York. Xew Members.— Isaac Dockery (whig) has been elected to ihe House of Cotnmons from Richmond countV, in place of Mr. Bostwick, deceased, and Gen. Jonathan H. Jacocks (whig) to the Senate from the Perquimons district in place of Hon. B. Shepard, resigned. No pohlical change. Mr. Hira m C. Brawley. formerly of this County, has been appointed Postmaster at Chesterville, S.G, in place of Thomas McLurc. resigned. Worthy of Imitation.—The business men of Columbia, S. C., in public meeting, have resolved that they will in future receive and pay out ten and five cent silver pieces only at their real value. Th® business men of every community should adopt the same resolution, and thus put a stop to a vast deal of swindling on a small scale. Gen. Jackson and Mr. Calhoun.—A statemeDt has got into the newspapers, originating with a Vicksburg paper, to the amount, that friendly rela tions have been restored between Gen. Jackson and iVIr.
