Makio every fair and liberal al'owance fr Rutherford an 1 one of two other counties n which pome change may U looked for in favor of Mr. Kerr, frtill there is litUe reason to suppose that the majority can fall below that of ISSO. It will veiy prcdahly reach three thousand. Cut it is too soon to commence e jcula ting upon this subject. The great f.tct wetm to he Conceded that Reid is triumphantly re-elected. The Legislature uV not look so encouraging Indeed, without further returns it is impossib'e to at with which party the majority will bo found. It is a likely as not to he a tie, or something like it So far as we can cypher it cut, the whig have gain ed aix clear. A further gain of one would nuke a tie. We believe, however, that mot, if not all. those counties from which a whig pain wo anticipated, hare been heard from, and the probability is that in future the balance will ho on the other side -There will, for instance certainly be a Rain of one from Mecklenburg county in place of Ihuilson, whig -there now being no whig candidate in the field. All rUk in regard to the Legislature might easily have been avoided ; and if our party asendency for yean has been placed in jeopardy, it has been by means of miserable personal squabbles and disorgan izations among ourselves Wc need not havo lost n ninglc member in the East ; and yrt we have done so in counties largely democratic, and in which Gov. Reid made considerable gains. All this has been owing to our own diii ns. and to the fact of sever al Democratic candidates running, and thus permit ting Whigs to fit p in between them. Look at John ston, where we loose two Commoners, ut the wiino time that our clear majority in tho county is over two hundred. But wo do not care for speculating farther, until we hear more Enough is now known to place the Legislature in a state of blessed uncertainty; and to render the re-election of Gov. Reid a fixed fact, by, most likely, an increased majority. Free Suffrage is stronger than any ninn or set of men. and the result has been, that (lev. Keid has, in nearly all cases, run ahead of his party vote. By the way. we notice that our calculations for the Legislature are more unfavorable than some others. We hape that we may bo agreeably disappointed. iia fur u h ari I'urntu- k I.Kt1iiJ l4 i'WD l;av if I hi ft in Ij-lgt e)intie. . ..

It will, I am contilent, be the work of our whole popu lation. Fatners and sons, mothers and daughters, will heartily unite in an enterprise around which most ever cluster so many rroud and grateful recollections, and that w ill make the column worthy of the bravest and most self-sacrificing spirits of the age cf heroes. How naturally aud inseparably united in association are the names of Washington and Marion. Stark and Sullivan ! and how fresh and delightful on this anniversary the memory of these great men and their associates ! They lived and labored in a common cause, with unflinching fortitude, at a period full of disciiurarenient. dancer, and privation. In what n . ... . was the crowning element of their final triumph : Doubtless, so far as human instrumentalities were concerned, in bond of brotherhood and patriotism, that knit together all hearts and nerved all hands. iV participator in that struggle made this entry upon his military journal " May, 1777: The max im adopted by our enemies is divide and conquer.' lt,ainnii.i(lil 'linitO Hill llf 1 n f ! fl C 1 M ft.

"Oli, that's nothing ! -what s the damage 1'' ask ed the Captain. The shoemaker looked at the hole in tho roof of the shop and then answered, " Ten dodars !"' "Ten devils!" exclaimed the captain.

Several per sons in Massachusetts have been arrested for viola ting the liquor law ; indeed arrests, it is said take place daily. The proprietor of the Exchange Cof fee House, Lowell, has been convicted on three corn plaints ; the penalty for the third offence, is, not less than three months' imprisonment. Tho Justices at Cambridge grant warrants with great reluctance, and constables refuse to servo them unless they were indemnified. In Boston, the constables waited on the mayor in a body, and informed him of their reso lution not to servo a single warrant, unless tho city would stand responsible fur all damages. Consumption ok Gold. The following curious statistics relative to the consumption ot gold were stated in a Lecture lately delivered at the Geological Society at London : The entire amount of gold in circulation is said to l.o 48.000.000 : of which the wear and waste is stated to be 3i per cent, annually, or $1,680,000.- The consumption of gold in arts and manufactures is as tollow8: 1 In the United Kingdom 2,500.000 France .1,000,000 Switzerland.. 450.000 , Other parts of Europe 1.000,000 United States ' 500,000, Good News.

That the Whig party propose to bestow tho civil power of our republic upon the military chieftain at the bead ot the standing army as a rewaru ior military nervieo. ! Keep it before the people, that the Whig party are attempting to make the standing army the only road to the Presidency in this country, as has been the ease in Mexico, France, and other countries, where tho liberties of tho people have been pros trated by the predominance of tho military princi ple. Keep it before the people, that as a means of es tablishing the predominance of the military princi ple in this country, and of bringing tho mercenary regulars of the standing army and navy to the pulls to vote and to influence the rlection at various im portant places, the commanding general at the head of the army, who never held a civil office in his life, and the officer having command of the navnl forces, have been nominated andp'acod on tho Whig tick et for the Presidency and Vice. Presidency. Keep it before the people, that the gross and baro faced attempt now made on the part of whiggcry to build up the supremacy of the military principle in f iliixvn tlir nsppniiflnov of tho domocr.'iOV of this country, cannot be covered up or concealed, hy any palliation or excuse to oo touna in me elec tion of Washington or Jackson, who were distin guished as statesmen, having spent tho greater part of their lives in tho civil service of the country, and as far as they wero engaged in military service, it was as mere citizen soldiers in time ot war, and nei ther of whom held any command in the army when proposed for the presidency ; and u aslnngton hav ins exprcsiy toruiuden me use oi nis name as candidate tor the presidency until alter he nnd re signed the command of the army and retired to private life. He it remembered, that all history teaches that the predominance of the military principle is whol- . ' . I '.lit 11 . t x 1 ly incompatible witn tne noerties oi tne people: and that, tnrougn a Diinu and recwess regara ior mere military renown, it has wrought the downfall of every republic in other countries and other ages of the world. Let it not be overlooked, but sound the tocsin all along the line, that if the civil power of the repuh- be bestowed on Gen. icott as a reward tor his military services as proposed, backed by the stand ing army of which he is the favorite and successful leader, backed by the unprincipled and drivelling demagogues of Wall street, and the bankers and monopolists ot the country, who are at heart oppo sed to a government of the people, and willing and anxtous to resort to any means whatsoever to sup press the supremacy of the Democracy of the peo ple, he would hold in his hands elements of power tar more powerful and dangerous than those volun tarily given lo the Cajsars and Napoleons of other countries. Herald it from every watch-tower of liberty, that tne great, struggle oeiween noeriy anu uespuusm go ing on in tho world is a struggle for the suprema cy of the people on the one hand, and of civil govern- ment-?a Btrugirle to maintain and control civil pow er by the free and untrammelled will of the people company. The value of whatever will revive and strengthen this sentiment cannot be over-estimated, while every proposition, every act, every idle word calculated tc weaken it is a proposition, an act, a word false to hu manity. God forbid, that while at the north and at the south the present generation are erecting monuments commemorative of the events of the revolution and ot the services of its leaders, they should, by encourage ment or countenance to sectional distrust, cast a pall over all the bright hopes of the future. (n the forlunes of war Molly Stark was not made a widow at Bennington, but the monument will call up saddening but glorious memories of tho fields of Lexington and Hunker Hill.

In last Wednesday's Augusta Chronicle & Sentinel we find that Mr. Toombs sneaks of him even more high ly. Writing to a friend in Wilkes, of Gen. Pierce, Mr. Toombs ays : " He is a fair, just, sound, and1 upright man, with more ability than any of the four candidates, and has, throughout the whole slaverer question, acted with energy and fearless prompti tude in favor of the just rights of tho South. As between Pierce and Scott, 1 prefer his election, and I think that the Union party ought to give him its support." ; "Make way for a hinderpendent woter," said a man at a recentr election at New Orleans. " Why, good man," said tho Clerk, " it is not an hour since you deposited your vole at this very poll.1 " I knows, I knows," says the voter; "that wts the Democratic ticket ; tins 'ere is the Whig ticket." Hut if you strive to vote twice I shall have you arrested."' " You will, will vou,'' shouted the son of the sov ereign people ; " then I 6ay if 1 am denied the right of voting for tho Whigs, after going the whole tick et for the Democrats, there ain't no universal suff rage, that's all. It's a darn'd one-sided business, take it all round." Sixovlar Mope of Suicide. In Waldoborough, Me., one day last week, a Mr. William BcnDcr. tra der, committed suicide in a novel way. Early in ihe morning he repaired to his store nnd sat down on his counter immediately over an open keg of gun powder. Into this he threw a buncn oi ngoiea matches, and the instant result was an explosion which shattered the building to atoms. Mr. ten ner was taken from the rums shockingly burnt and mutilated, and lived only about four hours. At first hflsaid he knew nothing of the affair, but before hi death confessed that he did intend to kill himself. Passing through the golden crucible of Australia, even the misfortune of humanity become precious.-, A letter lately received, dated from Stoney-creek, Williamstown. says that "acargoof one-legged men would be invaluable, because they would not run a way to the diggings.
