There were to he chosen ft Governor, Judges of the Supreme Couil, and other State officers, as is best shown by the subjoined list of the candidates of the two leading parties. Thirteen State Senators and a full House of Representative were also to be elected, : CANDIDATES IN PENNSYLVANIA. Whig Democrat. Fer Governor. Wm. F. Johnson, Wm. Bigler, Canal Commissioner John Strohm, Seth Clover, Suurcme Court RicharJ Coulter, J. S. Black, v J.W.Comly, J Campbell, Geo. Chambers, Ellis Lewis, Wm Meredith, John Gibson W in Jessup, W. H. Lourie. From such scattering and vngue returns as have tkna far rpached US. the probabilities are strongly in favor of the election of BiGLrR. Johnson's ma jo ri y in the City of Philadelphia is 3011), and in h ,.;t r,t VitLslinrrr 800 : and Mr. Bigler has re tliv w.j - - D ' - reived a majority of 1,200 in Northampton coun ty, 700 in Northumberland, and 4i.O in Lehigh. We do not recollect what were the respective maj -rities in these places at the last Gubernaiorial eiec tioii, three years ago, but if the above majorities . be correctly reported, it is stated tlt'at they show a loss for Johnson of 1,300 votes. Iu addition to which, it is uhwrstated, that partial returns from Alleghany and Schuylkill counties show a further loss for Johnson ot 1,300. Still later accounts, Irom a number of Counties, though not altogether reliable, represent that the . gain fur Bigler thus lar is 13,572. Johuson's majority in the whole State, in 1848, was only 297. We do not regret this result, a'though we do not know that the cause of the Uuion has gained scything in ifce election of Bigler. Johnson, however, richly deserves his fate, for the spirit of tampering to Abolition that he has manifested on several recent occasions. (it ftl AMD NOJRH E Number .3. oino. The Elect ions in ibis SUte also took place on Tuesday. The following embraces a list of Offi" rs that were lo be chosen. In r.dditioa to those numerated, there- were a variety of lesser offices t Le filled. CANDIDATES IN OHIO. Whig Democrat For Governor Sain F. Vinton, Reubiu Wood, Lieut. Governor, E. R.

A few scattering reporis from the State show a Loco Foco gain, and indicaie the success of the Loco Foco Candidate for Governor. This was lo have been expected, with the Democrats and Abo litionists working-together against the Whigs. The recent disgraceful coalition which they ef tected is doubtless fresh in the minds of our rea ders. THE POLITICAL "SOMERSETSK.L" The Editor of the "Petersburg Intelligencer" sometime since described a Fancy dance, then re puted to have been in much vogue in the fashion, able circles, which rejoiced in the expressive soub riquet of the "Somersetski." After sundry evolu tions and involutions, and contortions innumera ble, the said dance ended in a complete tomertel on the part of those engaged in the highly de- lightful recreation. ; Politically considered, this dance has been in high favor with the Democratic Secession circles in North Carolina. The Editor of the "Standard," on account of his great apitnde at somersetting, as displayed on numerous occasions, since the memorable days of 1840, has acted, by general consent, as master of ceremonies ; and never did man act his part better. After winding with ad mirable skill through the serpentine mazes of Secession, and showing off a variety of steps and figures, each one more and more complicated, the Editor has suddenly astonished the public by a somerset, thrown backwards, that exceeds anything ever attempted in Stone and McCollurtCt Circus. And immediately, nr imitation of these feats of their leader, all who were engaged in this Seces sion dance are seen lo attempt similar wonders. Such an awkward display has rarely been seen before ! ; To speak more seriously the prediction was made in our presence, less than a year ago, that the day was not far distant, when the Loco Foco leaders in this State would not only be found Sacking out from their advocacy of the trea sonable doctrine of Secession, but that they would actually deny that they ever supported that heresy, and endeavor to fasten it upon their opponents. That prophecy is already verified The " Standara," not content, in its eagerness to escape the odium that is destined to attach to those who have endeavored to commit the People to the acknowledgment of this right to secede, with the late most humiliating surrender on its own part, endeavors to make light of the great conservative influence which the Whig Party has exerted in the late crisis, and protests that it is only by adhering to ' old-fashioned De mocratic" principles that the Union can be perpet uated! Under the circumstances, the Editor is w elcome to all the capital he expects to make by such a game as this, i There is hardly a child in the State tint cannot see in this expiring move ment ot the "Standard"' the effort to free its skirts of the taint of Disunion. The effort is a hopeless one. By a prolonged and steady encouragement of -agitation ; by its denunciation of those who have discharged their whole duty to the Country in the perilous times through which we are pass ing ; by its sympathies with those who have been avowed enemies of our present Government ; and by an ill concealed restlessness and longing after civil strife, the ' Standard" has inseparably iden tified itself with the Disusiosists of South Car olina ! There let it stand ! Each new movement that it makes to shift its position will but serve to render its deformity more manifest! COMMUNICATIONS. FOR THE REGISTER. Mr. Editor ; Another feature peculiar to the Bar is its love of formality, and, by consequence, of fictions. I do not agree with De Tocqueville in holding that the conservative element in this country may be founa in a great degree among ihe lawyers : indeed what I have denied above indi cates the contrary ; but I will say that whatever change is advocated, by them, they will prefer that it shall be conducteJ in form This results as naturally from )heir training as does th feature already discussed. It may be argued (hat even this peculiarity has not been unfruitful in the late political storm, la accordance with tiie lessons taught hiui from earlies; youth, your thoroughbred lawyer has no notion that forms need to be violat ed when a revolution turns a country upside down. He will point you out in the books a pre cedent even for a sumerset. A mind thoroughfy imbued with the law, finds somewhat the same sort of difficulties in imagining a perioa when laws are silent and forms inoperative that a relig ious mind does in calling up a time when the First Great Cause "did not exist. Twist the' matter how you may, he will return upon you with a form ; and although he will admit that the present state of things will disappear, ytt there seems an intel lectual incapacity upon hn part for realizing that when the substance ha passed the shadow cannot remain. It isto this trait of character that I refer the degree of success which Peaceful Se cession has had amongst us. There is an impres sion abroad that all tljat is necessary to restore to ihe several states that absolute sovereignty dives led in 1789, is lo call over some legal cliarm, sura min Richard Roe into Court, and put the plain tin's into quiet enjoyment by a writ of Secession. I attribute this to ihe influence of legal haoits of mind. That the doctrtna was not originated by a lawyer is not material to our purpose; especial ly whea we consider that ihe intellect of its pro genttor was by nature even more especially that of a great lawyer, than a great statesman. The mass 61 the Bir at this iay are still liable to Burke's criticism upoa George Grenville. They are heipless when the waters are out and the file affords no precedent ; and hence their reluctance to believe in the possibility of such an event. Wha ever be the infraction of riht, they are in possession of a remedy ; or at least have the ma terials, under the rule in consimiU casu. Yet It is essential to our positiou anioug the nations 1 doubtless, their sovereign specific will be found INTERFERENCE OF FOREIGN POW- i ERS IN THE AFFAIRS OF CUBA. ; The London Times, in a recent article on this subject, having expressed an apprehension that ihe American Government was too weak to res train armed expeditions of its citizens against neighboring countries, and -the European powers would be justified in assisting such countries, by an armed interven i - n, to defend their soil against these aggressions, the "Republic thus rejoins: "We apprehend that the 'Times' is indulging an ill-founded solicitude. The American Gov ernment it abundantly able to execute its laws, arid to punish their infraction. The Government of Spain can protect its own possessions without foreign aid, and we presume will hardly enier lain the project of placing ihe province of Cuba under the guardianship of Great Britain. When Lord Harcout, in 1794, offered to Ireland the ser vices of four thousand foreign troops, in room of a greater number that had been drafted to Ameri ca, the Parliament of Ireland declared that they would "accept of no foreign help, as they felt competent to defend themselves, ur if not,, they were not worth defoiding" ; and this too at a time when the fleets of France and Spain were in possession of the channel. If the Spanish Gov ernment cannot maintain itself in Cuba without foreign assistance, we apprehend that Cuba is not Worm defending; for there is nothing more certain than that the interference of any European na tron in this m.itter will lead to inevitable collisions which may disturb the peace ot the world. . We sustain in all cases the laws of the United S.ates, the expression of ihe will of the American people. We desire to see them enforced at all hazards and to. the last exiremity, whether oi. Northern Abolitionists or Southern Filibusters in their spirit, to the letter with all the power ol the country. There can be no such lhing as a government where there is an absence ol the pow er to enforce the law. We consider, therelore, that ail combinations lo resist the law, on whatever pretence, should be met at once with ihe whole force of the Government, and that ihe is$ue should be made, in every case which admits of r, wheih er we are living under laws or in a state ofaa atchy. In this we feel that we are sustained by the good sense and the patriotic attachments ula large majority of" the American people. There fore it is that we would, under all circumstances, maintain to the letter the neutrality law of 1 8 1 8.

SOUTH CAROLINA. The Election , of Delegates lo the Southern Congress look place in this State, on Monday and Tuesday. The contest was between Secession and Co operation a full sei of candidates, on either side, having been in the field. The result will be considered in South Carolina as a test of public sentiment. We see the issue thus d istinct ly and characteristically stated in a Secession pa per in that State : "If the secession candidates are elected by an aggregate majority of ihe voters f the State, the Convention will look upon the result as the voice of the State in favor of sepa rate secession of South Carolina from the Union, nd, it is presumed, will act accordingly. If the eo-operation candidates are elected, it will be con sidered, and rightly too, as the will of the State in favor of co-operation alias submission. As there is no other Southern Slate to co operate with in secession, or any olher mode of refistance to the Compromise measures, a'l of them having decided tin favor of submission, the term co-operation is a misnomer. If the .co-operation triumphs, then BbmUsion triumph, for it will he the decision of 23oulh Carolina thai she, too, will submit to the put aggressions of the Federal Government" This may doubtless be considered a just statement isf the case; though, for ourselves, we have al most as little fancy for the one party as the other. Huk advocate Disunion ; the one immediately and unequivocally the other at some remote day, when Ihe co-operation of the other Southern States can be had. The latter position is more dinrxTonst . nerhans. because more insidious but D I - t I tbe success of those who hold it, in the lateElec tion, will give the State a chance to back out from its threats and menaces. As yet, we have no advices from the State. P. S. Since the foregoing was put in type, we have received the followiug Telegraphic Despatch from Charleston, communicating the following highly important intelligence. Charleston, Oct. 1 6th 1851. FIVE DISTRICTS in the State have proba - bly gone for Co-oferatios, and possibly SIX! !! The ireiipral vote for Co-operation is much larg- . er than the most sanguine of its friend nntici p ted. C. Our readers will recollect that the State h composed of but seven Congressional Districts. Tiie result is an astonishing one, indeed. Com ment iu our next, j rr See Telegraphic Head for further returns, received just as our Paper is going to Press. MR. DALLAS " HIGH FALUTIN." We make the following extract from a recent political letter of Ex Vice President Dallas, ad dressed to Mr. Gcy M. Bryan, of Texas. Had we ppace, we should like to publish the whole epistle, (which is, in the main, patriotic in its tone.) for the edification of the public, but we im agine that the subjoined extract will be deemed amply sufficient. Confessing our own entire ig norance of its meaning, we respectfully solicit an interpretation from some of our brethren of the Loco Foco Press : "They will prohibit them from being forced by the sophistries of zealots to enact the part of consolidation; they will place the Constitutional cannon, too palpably for misconstruction, against the self-slaughter of intermediing with institutions1 and rights exclusively of State creation, State re. sponsibility. and State control; they will render il impossible by ami process hvi4-of treason or reco, lution, to convert the confederacy into the means if destroying the eqiahly of its own members, or lo direct its energies to fulfil the behests of some 'higher law, starling up like the cyultica of the minute from the ever ranging and incalculable phantasies of Hit inner man. CELEBRATION OF THE GEORGIA UNION VICTORY. The New York "Express," of Saturday last, says that preparations are about to be made in that city to have n suitable demonstration in honor of the highly important and very brilliant victory which the Union party hive achieved in Georgia A Georgia friend suggests that the most suitable demonstration in honor of the highly important and very brilliant victory which the Union party have achieved in that State, by the New Yorkers will be to see to it that the series of measures, known as the Compromise, are a settlement in orinciple and subsiance a final settlement of the dangerous and exciting subjects which they em Draced; and also that the Fugitive Slave law be faithfully and honestly executed. Then the North and the South can join in congratulations and praises for ihe glorious Union, which we trust will be perpetual. rathe worid that we should maintain it in good faith. Our Government will proteGt Cuba to ihe extent of its power from all invasion from this country. But a very different question is presented when European nations propose to in tervenf, and ;o prott-ct Cuba from the conse quences of alleged illegitimate interference, li the Spanish Government cannot maintain itself in Cuba without foreign intervention, it would seem that the lime had come hen il ouht to relmqui.-ri its dominion ; tor this kind of intervention t an be prosecuted only under circumstances that will materially anect the rights, interests, and relations of third parties. The time has gone by,we appre hend, lor the interference of Great Bmain, or any other European power, in the affairs of this con tinent, beyond the limns ot us owu colonial de pendencies, in the expectation of accomplishing any practically useful resulu We are well per suaded that Europe an nations for the future will be much be.ter occupied in attending to the anairs of their own continent than in miermedd ing with ours. Iu throwing out these views we are speaking the universal sentiment of the American people; and we warn the 'limes, and all whom n repre sents, that the first show of British iiiterven ion in Cuban affairs will be the signal for a movement ihnt neither Cu!a, nor Great Britain, nor all the European powers comhined,can resist; for on this point the mind of the American people is made up. mid thir will in this respect will give toe law to American policy and conduct. There's no dis position on the part of the large majority ot the American people for the conquest of Cuba, or her forcible annexation lo the Untied States and the only security for Cuba is in the protection id the Government of the United Stales, and the absence of all foreign interference. amiable disposition and a modesty which won great personal esteem, and.wilf make his loss sin cerely regretted by the society in which he moved.

As it stands at present, we doubt very much whether there 'is a similar establishment in the Country that can turn out a betterarticle of manu facture. Certainly there is none in the South. And as all such ei.terprizes are the surest indications of that independence, which we boast to have, of other sections of the Union, it is tube hoped that it may meet with that patronage to which home industry is legitimately entitled, even in the ab sence or those other recommendations which the "Manteo Paper Mills" possess. THE SYRACUSE AFFAIR. powerless for good upn the glitter of the first sword ; ai.d afler the terrible events of that strug gle shall have passed into history, Secession and Revolution will be by numinous. 1 conclude that the Bar have len making their political tor uue during our !aie difficulties. Like Bolingbruke upon the Christian religion, they argue thai an Justituri n' in which so many flaws can be discovered must be pernic ious. The best way of replying to their perverse ingenuity is to treat it as Burke did thai ol the infidel Lord, when he showed that his logic applied with equal force to civilization, and society. Take any practical blessing whatever and our General Government will compare wuh it favorably. When these geotlemea are sceptical as to all Government, let them give us their idea of building up as well as of tearing down, and it may easily be shown that their New Atlantis is no peice of perfection. The friends of our Union nuy well wish that its enemies would write such a book, it would ex hi bit most convincing and melancholy proof ol the extent to which the latter are movi ig from all uue liberty and good government. However, such a rvulizatiou cannot be expec ted. The secession of tb.s day is, by confession, not what it ouce was. Nay, so shadowy, evanish ing and formless are the developemtnts of that one while porienl, that we are justified iu con eluding that the great caljstrope has overtaken the original. I mean that we are so justified, if it be a logicai argument ol the death of any individ ual that a ghost wearing his lineaments has ap peared. We have fiitt n about us in the light of this October &un, a vir-ion of fading purp -ses and executory vengeance, all unl ke tiie bold front aiid warlike carriage of what purported to he the same doctrine hot a year ago.

I do not Jeem :t necessary to add that the above reflections upon the Bar aro consistent with great respect for that learned body. I will only re mark that I think the particular developement of the late difficulty at the North, and I may say, its exciting cause throughout the Union, was fanaticism, e'early to be traced to the pulpit. This I imagine might be midepain in an article of no great length: yet its proof would I trust be consistent with a veneration for the ministers of our Holy Religion. The. charge is a more serious one than that laid to the account of the Bar. I believe it is generally conceded that next in importance (it may be luiigo intervallo) to those who preach the precepts of pure religion and unde- filed in the midst of a free people comes that profes- ment of the Petersburg Rail RoaSt it has resulted for many years in passing good dividends to the stockholders, a species of mismanagement which we hope to Sf e iutroduced before long in North Carolina The personal al'usions lo some of our citizens who hve 'literally dp voted tune, talents and for- ' tune to the cause of Internal Improvements in North Carolina, we leave to the contempt it just ly deserveswith the remark, that after re perusing the article, we find it difficult to decide, whether it has more excited our pity for the Editor's igno rance or our admiration of his impudence. And now a word to our own cii izeus: A writer in the "Star" of last week seems to be greatlv dis turbed at learning that a communication had been made to the Directors of the North Carolina Rail Road Company, representing the great impor tance of a connection with the Raleigh and Gas on Railroad at this point, not only to the interests of the two companies, but the entire people of the western part of the Siate. The writer would have been saved his unnecessary alarm if he had known as others know, that petitions from uaieigh, pro or con. would have noenect. The location was determined by other conside rations one of which was not the abandonment of the Raleigh and Ga-iton Rdl Road. What compensation the Western stockholders may promise them-elves for this glaring abandon ment of their interests, we cannot say. One tiring we do know, that if it had been understood by ihe last Legislature that this road would be so located as to prevent a junction with the Rateiyh and Gaston Road, the charter cou d not have been passed, and, if passed, the slock would never have been taken. Fortunately, however, for the people of the West, some far sighted friend has provided for this contingency, and the charter reserves, as an express, condition, the right in the Lpuislaiure to establish and regulate a conuection with the Ral eigh and Gaston Railroad. This connection will ba establ. shed at no distant day; two years hence we shall have an uninterrupted' connexion wi'.h Norfolk and Petersburg, with a line ot Sieamships to New York, and thirty hours passage to nd trom that city to Raleigh. W hen Mie Central Railroad shall be opened, the passengers and produce from the Western part of j the Safe will be able to reach New York in one I half the tune now occupied in travelling 10 Ral eigh, and then we Impe to see a large portion of the produce of the West directed to Wilmington by The energy and liberality of her merchants, and her harbor darkened wuh the sails of commerce, bearing ihe. luxuries of foreign clime.s and rival ling her neighbor, Newbern, in -the race of pros perity and popularity. But the time for creafng trade hv sea and buil ding up sea port towns by legislative enactments is past. The tiller of the soil and the machine have assu ned that position in the Commonwealth of which no dry and aniiquated speculations ol political economy can ever again divest them. They alone add to the real wealth of the Siate; all others are consumers. Cheap arid rapid transpor tatirin, without obstruction and without unneces sary taxation, and Western Ciro'ina w.ll a.vake like a giant from his slumbers, and from the in exhaustible resources in her shining valleys and frowning mountains, she will pour a tide of wealh through every avenue to the ocean. In this anti cipated prosperity of our friends, Est and West, if our corh:nunity shall fail lo enjoy their proper share, we shall be indebted to the correspondent of the 'Star,' and his fellow labourers, at ieasi as far as tin ir labours can tffect anything.

Mr. Editor: My attention has been called to an article copied by the Standard from a paper published somewhere 011 the Wilmington Rail Road, upon the re-ori;anization of the Raleigh and Gaston Rail Road Company and the subse. quent appointment of OiScers. The bitter and unfounded prejudices, against the citizens of Ra r leigh, created and encouraged to low party pur poses, has become so general, that if we are al lowed hereafter the simple right of voting, we may be well content to leave the working and paying part of politics to ihose who seem to consider themselves better entitled to the possession, with the hope that they will make a better use of it But there are rights belonging to us as individuals as a community, as a constituent portion of the Staie, which I am entiiely unwilling to see sacri ficed to any prejudice or surrendered to any sec tionuntil we are aeprived of them by due course of law. Among these are the right to possess, enjoy and improve our own property -and to participate to a reasonable extent in the benefits which are ON Saturday, the 13tb day of December next, on the premises, I ,-b.fill offer for sale, the well known and de- snabi- country re.-idence called Harrison's or Up church's old place, lying 12 miles South from Louis burg, in Franklin county, near Poplar Spring Church The said land is situated iu a leriile sec tion of Country and has on il a la ge and comforta-1 h!e d welling house, with nil ni'cpsarv nut hmliliiiO! will go io the Moumain."

THE COALITION IN MASSACHUSETTS. 1 The Democrats of Middlesex County, Massach usetts, have placed upon their ticket for State ! Senators three undisguised and inveterate Aboli- j tionists, who were never known as Democrats at i any time in their political history, and who now do not pretend u belong to the party which ha- ! honored ihem with its patronage. The Whigs of 1 Massachusetts never made any such bargain what- 1 ever. We have democratic authority for saying, thai the example of Middlesex will he fo lowed in ! every county of the Slate, so that in Massachusetts Abolitionism and Democracy are one and the same thing.
