This has been a most brilliant day.—
Henry Clay the distinguished Senator from
Kentucky was received in a manner worthy
alike of him and oftbe country whose patri-
otism brightens the history of our Revolu-
tion. The day itself was truly auspicious.
A kindlier sun never cheered the earth with
its rays. At eleven o’clock in the forenoon,
the village‘ was in motion. A large party
proceeded on horseback and in carriages
nine miles north where they met Mr. Clay
at 1, P. M. At 2 the party partook of a Bar-
becue Dinner, got up by Col. VVescott, under
the allSpl(‘.lt s of some Kentucky gentlemen
the village. First came between two and
three liiindreil citizens on horseback (most of
them Saratoga Farmers) preceded by Col.
Joseph M. \Vliite, long the distinguished
delegate from Florida in the House of Re-
presentatives. Then came between three and
four liundrcd visitors and citizens in vehicles
of every dr-scription, from the splendid coach
to the humble waggoii. Then came Frank"

ed giiest. in Mr. Costcr’s C:11‘1'l:’lg't‘, drawn by

once observed there, are. thrown away, and

plicity obscrved among the throng than,iii
foriiicr _\_’€.dl'S. Aiiioiig the distinguislicd in-
dividuals who are or have been there, within
a few weeks, are the President oftlio United
States, llenry Clay, Gen. Scott, the Hon.
Abbot Lawrence, the Hon. Peleg Sprague,
the Hon Mr. Briggs, the Hon. Caleb Cush-
ing and “-Peter Parley,” of Massachusetts ;
Gov. llrlason, of M-ichigrin, the late Gov.

Edward Curtis, the Hon James Monroe and
“ Major Jack .Downing,” of New York....
Among the ladies of distinction are the
Countess of \Vestmoi‘eluiid, and the lady of
the late Gov. Clinton.
The Presideiit returned to Saratoga on
.\-londay and was immediately called upon
by Mr. Clay whose apai'tiiieiits were con-
tiguous to his own. They both dined at the
public table, and wci'c of course objects of
general interest. The personal intercourse
of those distinguishctligcntlemen has always
been that of cordial personal respect and
good feeling. It is with contracted minds
only that political difi'ei'ences are allowed to
disturb the liarmonyof the social relations.
Prcssinginvitations have been extended to
Mr. Clay to visit other parts ofthe state, and
also to make an e.\'cursion to New England.
A deputation waited on liini- on Saturday
from Oneida county,_.requesting him to visit.
This he was compelled to decline. A large
deputiition also visited him from Troy, and
an invitation was accepted to visit that city
on Saturday of the present week, upon the
express coiidition, however that there-should
berio public’ parade, and no SpC0t_'_ll,l[l,fll\’ll)g‘,
both of these states; butnotwithstandingthe
positive assurances of the Globe, and of cer-
tain Loco-Foco presses in Tennessee and In-
diana, that they were certain of carrying
those states, the result surprises both parties.
We extract from the New-Yorlrer the fol-
lowing account of the result of the election’
in Tennessee .-
“Hon. James K. Polk, late Adm. Speak-
er of the Federal House of Representatives,
has certainly been elected Governor of this
state by a majority of some 1,500 to 2000
votes over Gov. Cannon, Opposition—-a re-
sult quite unexpected by the defeatcd party,
whether in or out of the State. Mr. Polk
has proved himselfan excellent campaigner.
He commenced with a majority of some 8 or
10,000 against him in the state—a majority
of three years’ standing, and strengthened by
three successive triumphs. This he has beat-
en down, aided, indeed, by the spirited excr-
tioiis of his entire party; but it is not too
much to saythat no other man but Col. Polk
could have achieved this victory. An over-
match for Gov. Cannon in public speaking,
and second to none in personal address and
popularity, he has improved his advantage to
the utmost, addressing and mingling with the
people in every part of the state. The op-
position have likewise made vigorous exer-
tions ll'Jl'0u_[Il] the last few weeks of the can-
vass; but Gov. Cannon has been far less
among the people than his opponent, and his
party did not believe there was any ’diinger
until the returns ca-me in against them.
“ The fruits of this victory to the Adminis-
tion are a Governor, a majority in the Le-
gislaturc, 6 of the 13 Members of Congress,
(3 gain,) and 2 U. S. Scnators—for Mr. Fos-
tcr had publicly declared that he would re-
sign if a Van Buren Legislature were chos-
on, and Judge VVhite will almost certainly do
likewise. The latter has sought retirement
“for some years.”
The Members of Congress elected are as
follows:
‘ Loco-Foco.
Abram M‘Clellan,
Julius VV. Blackwell,
Hopkins L. Turney,
Harvey M. Watterson,
Aaron V. Brown,
Cave Johnson.

‘Vin. B. Carter
Joseph L. VVilliams,
VVm. B. Campbell,
John Bell,
Meredith P. Gentry,
John VV. Crockett,
C. H. \Villi-ains,
India.no.——Iii regard to the election in In-
diana, the Ncw-Yorker remarks as follows:
“ The Administration party has achieved
a signal triumph in the late election of this
state, carrying five oftlic seven Mcinbers of
Congress, where they had but one before,
and also a majority of the Legislature, which
was last year, and has generally been, oppo-
sition. * * "" “' Local and personal caus-
es have contributed to produce this great
change in "Indiana; but there seems no rea-
son to doubt that political reasons have also
been potent. The Administration party had
the advanzage in Congressional candidates-—
Generals Carr and Howard, Messrs. Davis
and Smith, being men of remarkable strength
and popularity. The new Delegation will be
a very able one. A local inatter—-tlie fail-
ure at the last session oflan appropriatioii for
the Cumberland Road-—'opei‘ated very pow-
erfully agiiiiist the old W'hig members, who
had to bear the. blame of its loss. On the
otlier hand, Mr. Robert Dale Owen, if beat-
en, as he probably is, is beaten because of his
notions about n'iarriagc, religion, &-c. 620.
having no iieccssary connection with his po-
litics. It has been a siiigular contest.”
The returns are yet imperfect, but the re-
sults will doubtless confirm the election of
the following members of the next Congress:
ll’/rig. Loco-Foco.
George H. Proflitt, John Davis,
James Rariden, John Carr,
Thomas Smith,
VVm. W. Wick,
T. A. Howard.
In North Caroli/ta, tbougli the returns are
yet imperfect, it is satisfactorily ascertained
that the next delegation to Congress from
that state will consist of 6 Whigs and?’
Loco-Focos, as follows:

Kenneth Rayner,

unexpectedly favorable to the VVhigs. Al-
though the Locos have doubtless elected their

the Legislature, the \Vhigs have succeeded
in electing two of the five menibers of Con-
gress. ' .
It is yet uncertain whether the Adminis-
tration will have a majority in the next
House of Representatives. At all events
parties will be so nearly balanced that we
may expect a most interesting session.
Hon. Henry Clay will arrive in.New York
to-day, and remain there until Saturday.
93' President Van Buren and Mr. Clay pass-
ed several days together at Saratoga last week.
A correspondent of the Evening Post says, that
in their personal intercourse. they are apparent-
ly forgetful of. or entirely indifferent to the politi-
cal warfare in which they are so deeply com-
promised. He says. that “Mr. Van Buren is
as well aware, as the most enthusiastic admirer
of Mr. Clay. of the distinguished merits of his
rival and friend."
\Vliat a very ardent and disiutestedfriendship
Mr. Van Buren must entertain for Mr. Clay.-

to pronounce his funeral eulogium. as he was to
perform the same service for De Witt Clinton.

A Child rescued from a Panther !—-Last
Saturday, Mr. James Ranney and wife, who
live about nine miles east of this village, in
the town of \Vatson, left home on business
leaving the house in charge of their oldest
child a girl aged about 12 years. Near
noon the girl heard the infant, aged ‘-14
months, which had been laid while asleep on
a bed in an adjoining bedroom, utter a horrid
screech, upon which she immediatel y ran to
its relief, and imagine her feelings, upon
opening the door, to see a panther, with the
babe in its mouth, leaping from an open
window immediately over the bed 1 But she
like a true heroine, sprang upon the bed, and
then out of the window, screaming at the
height of her voice and upon being joined by
the other children about the house, pursued
the panther at her utmost speed. They fol-
lowed it about thirty rods to a pair of bars
which separated the clearing from the forest
at which place the girl stated that she ap-
proached to within fifteen or twenty feet of
the panther, when it relinquished its hold of
the child, lcapt the bars and made its way
into the woods. The infant was picked up,
much strangled from its rapid movement
through the grass and sand, which had filled
its mouth and eyes, but soon recovered, and
is now well, save it few scratches upon’ its
body which have the appearance of Hav-
ing been made by the panther’s teeth. Thes V
marks are very plain, and there are several
blood blisters raised where the teeth in -slip-
ping came in contact. The girl states that
panther dropped the child once before arriv-
ing at the fence, and it is supposed the giving
away of the clothing was the cause, as they
were much torn.—_Louisvillc Journal.

their opponents, was nearly as 3 to 1. The

whether they will have public schools. On
the subject the Baltimore Patriot has the fol-
lowing remarks :
“What is indicated by the fact, that in
North Carolina, where the people are about
to decide whether they will have public
schools, the Loco-Foco counties vote strong-
ly against the schools? Edgecombe, which
has only 110 Whig votes, went almost unani-
inously against them. VVhat want they
with book knowledge, and these time wast-
ing accomplishnieim‘ofreadiiig and writing,
when they have so much harmony of opinion
among themselves, and are happy to believe
what the party teaches, and are satisfied
with the independence which tells them to
vote as their leaders dictate!
Loco-Focoism vs. Schools.-—In every coun-
ty, in North Carolina, as far as returns have
been received, the entire Loco-Foco vote has
been given against the establishment of com-
mon schools. In Johnston, out of 605 who
voted the Loco-Foco ticket, 604 voted
against common schools, and the whole VVhig
vote, 334, in their favor!
Fa.nn.ticism.——A Mrs. Van Evera, of Cana-

so terrified by a clap of thunder that she re-
fused to take any sustenance. She fancied
that the Lord had spoken to her and com-
manded ber never to eat or drink more. Af-
ter lingering for fifteen days, she died a re-
markable instance of religious fanaticism.-

Fining a. Governor.-—A good joke. is told
of Gov. Boggs. ‘ By ‘the ordinances of the
city of Jefferson, discharging a pistol within
the city limits is punishable by fine. The
Governor broke this law and was hauled up
before the Mayor, and fined five dollars. The
Governor protested—contending that he had
the power to remit the fine. The Mayor de-
nied this doctrine and was about preparing a
m_ittz'mus to lodge the Governor in jail, when
some of his friends forked over—and released
the dignitary from “ durance vile.” As
there is no precedent in the books, we com-
meiid this case to the attention of jurists.-

Ice Brealcc-i'.——_Mr. Jacob Townsend, of
Westchester county, has shown us a drawing
of his patent Steam Ice Breaker. It is a
cylinder full of stout iron teeth suspended un-
der the bows of a steam boat, and revolves
by the power of the engine, and is expected
to chew up the ice in a rapid manner. Ice
freezes generally from 12 to 18 inches thick
on the Hudson ,river,-sand is sometimes iii-
creased by snow and water on‘ the to , and by
slides of large cakes under the fix ice. It
. is expected the pieces of ice will be_so small as

the Sioux. \Vliile they were thus peaceably
jeiicamped, they were surprised by the-Sioux,
who commenced their butchery. They im-
mediately rallied, but before thejbattle ter-
minated, the Chippewas lost 150 at. the Falls
and 20 on the St. Croix. The number of
Sioux killed on the occasion amounted to
about 50. We do not much wonder at the
hostility that has been exhibited by the Sacks
and Foxes against the Sioux if this latter
tribe has always been as treacherous as they
were on the above occasion.—Bu:rlin_gton

tinct anti-slavery’ candidates for ofiices in the
gift of the people, has been presented to this
Coiivention—therefore,
Resolved, That it be recommended to ab-
olitionists to adopt such course in their re-
- spective sections of country. in regard to this
matter, as will, in their judgment, best sub-
serve the cause of immediate abolition.
Resolved, That a committee be appointed
to consider whether the duties upon such
‘products of foreign countries as are raised in
this country by slave labor, might not be
advantageously reduced or altogether repeal-
ed ; and that they report to the Executive

way from Providence to this city, by which’
several persons were badly scalded. The
working machinery is in the center of the
boat, with a‘ passage way on each side, and :1
tier of berths. Owing to a temporary ob-
struction to the supply pipe. by sea 'wecd,tlie _
condenser became overheated, and when
more water was let in, so much overflow was
produced in the reservoir, that a small quan-
tity of. hot water was thrown and fell upon"
the berths immediately opposife. Mr. Bigo-
