SATURDAY, NOV EM HER 14, IS 10.

Sinftletaiy, Diane, and Macrae The ceremonies wee witnessed by a largo and attentive congregation, and several interesting and impressive discourses were delivered by the clergy on that and the preceding day. THE ELECTION. The following; is tho official statement of the votes given in the different districts inthiscounty on Thursday bst, for fifteen Electors of President and Vice President of the United States; fi r Martin Van ihi ren and Rchard M. Johnson, on 1 1 o Demo cratic ticket, and for William II. Harrison and John Tyler on the Fedeial ticket. Whig Districts. Van Buren Harrison I. larborcugh, ii. Long's 3. Armstrong's, 4.

In July last, Gen. Saunders, the Democratic candidate for Governor, received 129S votes in this county; and Mr. Morehcad, the Federal Whig candidate, received but 111 Totes, the Fame as given to Mr. Stanly in the Congressional election last year. Presidential iSecion.-Unofiieial state ments leave no room to doubt, that the States of Maine, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, New Jersey, . Pennsylvania, Maryland, Ohio, and Georgia, have cast their Electoral votes for Gen. Harrison these, with the other States that will doubtless vote for him, render it morally certain that he is elected. New Hampshire and Virginia are said to have given Mr. Van Buren a majority. In our next paper, we will probably be enabled to give the major ity in several of the States. We copy the following relative to the result, from an arti cle in the Richmond Enquirer: The Present Stale of the Campaign. The game is pretty nearly at an end and if the last returns from New York are conclusive of the voteof the Empire State, and unless some extraordinary turn should take place in our favor, in ihe States which are now to come tn, Gen. Harrison will be the next President of the U. S. He will be indebted for this singular elevation to a combination of circumstances, which no human foresight could have predicted four years ago. What faction, what en gine, what interest, and what humbug have wc not had no encounter? The state of the markets has been insidiously used ag:;nst Mr. Van Buren The Banking interest has been exerted against him Men, desperate in foitune, who look to "change" as iheir solace, and who idly hope for remedy from a National Bank the friends of a National Bank; of a Pro tective Tariff; of a wild system of Internal Improvements The old Federal party, -nd their modern associates, who discard the State Rights school, and adopt the Jyttihidinous Theory of construction of ine oimiuuion Ambitious aspirants of ...ouusanq ends ot every school except the State Rights Democratic Parlv, with all their humble fullowcrs-Ofiice-scckcrs of various hue and description-ln addition to these, are the shameless apostates who have abandoned the Repubhcan party, which once cherished them, but who have .-one off under the impulse of the passions; histignted by the spirit of revenge or tempted by precocious ambition W ltn these, the small band of anti Masons; and worse, even worse than all these various descriptions, is the fell faction of Aboli tionists: to whom Gen. Harrison was in debted for his nomination in December ll .st, and to whose votes he is now niainij indebted for his election. What the Democratic Convention of February so emphatically, that, he was the candidate of the Abolitionists, and that he wouni be elected without the aid of their votes in New York and Ohio, has hem literally confirmed by the events of the last few days Where did he VVO!Sl in New York? In the Southern ami Middle Dis tricts but the nmimmt he entered the ejfchlh or infected District, which is the Asylum of the anti-Masons and the Aboli tionists, his vole immediately increased into a majority, and his success was in sured. It seems from the resnlis both in Ohio, in New York, and in Pensylvanii, that there is almost a perfect co-operation be- .i . r . i : .... .1 i I X ! w fweeninevoiesoiine "auuu, l,t theSou.lK-rn h.gn u c ot .1 ()f (3l)VC,,imenl mM ,I;,,c,l to ava. .hanwclvc ol tl. y K , thcm a, mv , ,,lte.

The distinguished and accomplished man. who now presides over the Government, who itso largely entitled to the gratitude of the South, may be dr iven to retirement and his own State has contributed to remove her own son; the ornament, not only of his own Stale, but of the whole Union. Rut there is one circumstance of the campaign, which softens our disap pointment, and inspires a sentiment of pride, which swells the heart of every He publican. Virginia has stood up for her principles, and for the Uight. She has stood as immovable as her own mountains and she now stands the object of univer sal admiration trusted by all her friends, feared and respected even by all the ene mies of the Democracy. She (God bless 1 1 her!) has seen star after stir shooting mad lx frnin tlw!r C'ltiAroa v!iitt llf .! '.

The Whins could not carry her 7 . with all their arts and all their exertions. She is with us. The Whigs have Gen. Harrison with them. We have Virginia with us. And who has the better bargain? Is it not so? The Amoskeag Repre sentative, one of the unwavering organs of democracy in the "Granite State," makes some excellent remarks upon the present state of things, which we copy be low. Ask a whig if his crops are good, if lie has not enough and more than enough, to eat amt to ilnnu. ask mm it it is not a time of unusually good health for his fami ly and friends. Ask him if his country is not free from war; if his countrymen are not respected abroad, and as happy as the people of any country on the face of ihe earth at home, and he will say, Yes" most heartily to all these questions, which affect his dearest and best interests and hopes. Ask him, then, what is the mat ter with him? what makes him so miser able, surrounded with so many blessings "Oh the currency, the awful currency" well, "what of the currency ?" Do you want more paper money? 0h no;,, he will answer. Well what do you want! more silver and gold? so do the democrats. We agree then. "Yes," he will reply, "but the exchanges are so bad." Y7ell, what made them had? If a man owes me in New Orleans, why do I have to receive bad money for my pay; or in other words, why are exchanges so much against New Orleans and the West? Is it not simply because the New Orleans and Western banks do not pay for their promises in specie? And is it not the great end and aim of all the measuref of the present ad ministration, to compel the banks cvtry where to pay specie If you make a new bank, and issue ?20?'c paper money do you not increase the evrl? Have wc not, in all conscience, enough and more than enough of paper money already? Now that we have passed, through the ordeal; now that wchave got so near!' out of the trouble and perplexity, which we have been suffering lor these twenty years, would it be well to return again to the Isame foolish extravdgance, which had brought us so near to utter destruction.' We trust that the sober minded people of this country will pause long and nllect seriously, before plunging themselves a gain into this sea of troubles from which they have escaped with so much difficulty.

Prospectus for the Congressional Globe, and Appendix. These works will be published by us during the approaching .session of congie-s. They have had such a wide circulation in the United States, and their usefulness and cheapness are so universally acknowl edged, that we deem it unnecessary to give a detailed account of what the future numbers will contain. Suffice it to say 1 hat they will be invaluable to all who feel an interest in the proceedings of Con gress. No other publication gives them so full, nor half so cheap.
