Insue. We give in another column, a comprehensive and carefully digested statement of the resulta, so far as ascertained, uf the elections in North Carolina, Tadiana, and Kentucky. The general impression made by the returns is, that these approaching con- test will be a much closer one than had been ima- gined. The result of the election in Louisiana opened the eyes of all to this fact, and demonstra, ted that the Whigs had there at least, reckoned in some degree without their host. In North Curoli- na the Locofocos have gained three thousand votes since 1840, whilst the Whig vote exhibitsa falling off of no less than four thousand. In Kentucky the Whig majority has been considerably diminished, in consequence of the popularity of the Democrat- ic candidate. Altogether, it is quite clear that there is a remarkable falling off in the Whig vote as com- pared with that of 1840. Other evidences, striking and significant enough, are not wanting, that the Whigs will have a much harder fight of it than they anticipated at the com- mencement of the campaign. When the campaign began, every body remembers how sanguine and how assured of victory the Whigs were. Their mass meetings and gatherings of the people, had the aspect of great scenes of rejoicing after a tri- umphant conflict, rather than of marshallings of the hosts {or battle. Addresses and orations deify- ing the ‘ Mill boy of the Slashes” were delivered, by enthusiastic youths, and hymns of glory and of triumph were sung by blue-eyed maidens; whilst the old sat smilingly mute, or lifted up their voices only to join inthe loud acclaim,which announced, alas! a little before the time, the elect'on of Henry Clay. Webster, and Choate, and-Granger, and all the great orators of the party, made solemn resolu- tions that they would not speak at public meetings during this campaign—that they would generously leave the field to the young heroes, who, with souls in arms, were panting for the fray, and eager to flesh their maiden swords in the bodies of their locofoco foemen. Bat the scene appears to be chang- ed. Mr. Webster is out, and very heavy too. He has been speaking at Trenton and at Concord, and at Springfield, and will make one of his tremendous efforts at Albany on the 27th inst., when the river counties meet inCenvention. And the other grea leaders are also out and are also very busy. In the whig camp all is bustle and preparation, and it is pretty generally considered that really, after all, it will be necessary to fight a little, in order to secure the triumph of Henry Clay. Nor is this newly awakened alarm in the whig ranks without just ground. All now see that rather too much time was occupied in premature rejoicing befere the battle was fought; and that there is a possibility that the day of grace still left, may not suffice to retrieve the ground that has been lost in foolish inactivity. Poor Horace Gree- ley, for one, is in a terrible splutter, and is calling on his brethren to come up to the scratch, in tones somewhat less musical than melancholy. And the question now presents itself at every turn, can the whigs really be brought out in all their force at the next election? Does sufficient excitement at present exist to bring that party to the polls in November next, with all its adherents, from Dan to Beersheba ? Now we hold it to be a fact well established that, the Whig party—where a sufficient degree of excitement exists to bring it out in all its force—is always able to demolish its antagonists, the locofo- cos. This was demonstrated in 1840, and on va- rious other occasions. But the present crisis is one widely different from that which presented it- self in 1840. Then the country labored under a degree of political excitement without parallel in the history of its political contests. Partly exas- perated by the distresses of the period immediately preceding that conflict, and partly stimulated by areckless desire for change, the great masses of the people rushed into that campaign with a degree of frenzied excitement which vented itself in all sorta of folly, absurdity, revellings and debauchery. The Whigs came out in full battalion, and of course triumphed. But the present period 1s very different from that. The country is prosperous.— The voice of rejoicing isheard throughout our bor- ders. Industry, commerce and enterprise, are reaping rich rewards, and the future is full of en- couraging omens of happiness and prosperity Men are not driven into the political conflict by the fiend of misfortune, recklessness and despair. A great mass of the people are very ind:flerent as to who shall be the next President, and of these hap- py, sensible, and philosophic men, a great propor- tion are Whigs. Still, the coming election will, notwithstanding all this, be very close and well contested. 4 This contest will be a decisive one, and it settles for years to come, most important issues. It will determine the annexation of Texas—the question of a National Bank—distribution of the land re- venues—and the highly interesting and important questions connected with the tarifl. These issues cover both our domestic and foreign policy. The result of this presidential election will exercise a | most important and immediate influence on our re- lations with England and France. If Mr. Polk be elected, these relations will at once assume a new aspect. The annexation of Texas and the eccupa- tion of Oregon, will be of course amongst the first measures of his administration, and it is impossible to forsee how soon they may be followed by the most serious alteration in our relations with Great Britain and other European powers. This is what gives peculiar interest to the present contest. Hereto- fore the issues of the presidential conflict have been , connected only with our domestic policy. In the present case they have acquired a new and peculiar complexion, which gives them infinitely increased magnitude. The question of peace or war with Great Britain is now involved in this contest. The closeness of the contest and uncertainty of the result, together with the vast and universal im- portance of the issues involved, will render all po- litical intormation of great interest from this time up to the eve of the election. We have according- ly made all the necessary arrangements, and will be enabled to give the fullest, earliest, and most authentic returns of the State elections, and of all political events and movements throughout the Union. Tue Jewish Evection.—This affair, to which | we devoted some of our spare time yesterday, ter- minated in the election of H. J. Hart and M. Michael as the candidates for the office of Trustees of the old hole and corner party; the latter named person is President, also. As expected, there was some sparring and squabbling, but not quite so much as we thought, which was principally owing to the determination on the part of the reform party to conduct their business calmly but steadily. The votes of five gentlemen duly qualified, and thirty- five seat-holders, were tendered and rejected by the inspectors, or rather by one of them only, as the other was willing to admit their claim. In this state, the contest, which is conducted under legal advice, rests for the present; but it is in contem- plation, we are informed, to secure the legal ser. vices of one of the foremost men of the day on behalf of the rejected voters and seat-holders, the vicinity of Pine and Nassau streets, were the scene of much excitement yesterday, owing to the @pnouncement of some fifty removals from the Custom House, with as many appointments.

The Bishop preached in the church of St. Louis last Sunday afternoon, much to the edification of the devout; and the following ‘card’? appears inthe Buffalo papers, announcing the termination of the controversy :— A Canv.—We, the wi 5 Church of St. Louis, Buttalo, having had the honor of an interview with the Right Rev.

This is all very well—very gratifying and very christian-like. There is, to be sure, something in the tone of this ‘‘card” which sounds rather too penitential perhaps, and does not, altogether, give assurance that all the people are quite satisfied yet—still it gives evidence of a much more com- fortable state of affairs than previously existed. We think our castigation ofthe Bishop, for his conduct in this matter, hasdone him good. In fact, we always believed that there was a great deal of good material in the Bishop, and that all that was wanted was to bringitout. This, it appeara, we have done to some purpose in the present case. We trust that the Bishop may go on in improving ; and we are not without hope that by-and-by we may be able to shake hands with him, and greet him as we would St. Paul, in case he shonld come for a week’s sojourn in this world, in order to get a lit- tle of our fresh, balmy air. A Scene In a Tempgeance Magerinc.—Quite a scene occurred in the Marshall Temperance Socie- ty the other evening, in consequence of a Mr. Ed- monds getting up and abusing, with a good deal of fiery invective, some gentleman from Boston, who had in his turn made a vigorous attack on the keep- ers of the grog shops. A great deal of personality and scurrility was poured out, and the whole scene was very discreditable to all parties concerned. We are surprised that the Chairman permitted such disorderly conduct. It is greatly to be regretted that the advocates of such an excellent cause as this should dishonor it by such conduct. Let there be no more of this. Wuat’s tHe Matter with THe Warrers 1— We have heard of a number of accidents occurring to waiters at the fashionable hotels,who have gone on pleasure excursions. The other day a boat with several of those gentlemen, connected with the Hamilton House, were upset in the Bay, and nar- rowly escaped drowning. Another,who had gone a yachting, was driven out to Sandy Hook, and had alsoa narrow escape. Two of them—con- nected with one of the hotels in this city, came near fighting aduel the other day. What’s the matter with the waiters? The Chevalier Wikoff is, we suspect, at the bottom of all this. Not con- tented with defining his own position, he defined also that of all the waiters “tat Long’s,” and else- where, and eo turned the poor fellows’ heads that they are cutting up all sorts of capers. Trustees of the Very Lare From Haytt.—We have received from the gentlemanly Capt. Shepheard, of the Gen. Marion, arrived yesterday, the following letter re- lative to the affairs iu Hayti:— Dear Srr,— { lett Port Republican on the 3lst of July, at which time all was quiet, and business resuming its usual features.

It is thought by some that coffee wiil now fall in price, as there has been great de- mand latterly for the article, on account of Euro- pean vessels by Ru leave prior to the 1st of Avgust.

I spies = must have heard of the celebrated black chief, Acaou, having surrendered himeelf to the authorities. What will be done with him is yet to be seen; but as he has now been here six- teen days, I think it very likely he will escape the punishment due to his crimes. Certainly, it any scoundrel ever merited death, he does, The authoriues appear determined to give all a tair chance to laytheir complaints against him. It was proclaimed through the streets that all who had suffered at his hands, or had other cause of com- plaint, to appear before the Court, who were about totry him. it js reported thatthe President should have declared that whatever was the decision of the Court Martial, it should be carried. into effect; but I think there are others here so deeply impli- cated with him, that he is sure to escape.

Musical Intelligence. Signor Casella, now on a professional tour, gave a concert at Saratoga, and from thence repaired to Newport. At the Ocean House there, animmense assembly attended his performance on the 5th in- stant. Several persons could not obtain admission, eo great was the desire to hearhim. Signor Ca- sella is at present in Providence, with a prospect of a no less warm reception from the lovers of music in and about that city. Erntorgan Serenapers.—These accomplished vocalists last night fully realized the expectations of the most crowded and fashionable audiences we ever witnessed within the walls of Palmo’s opera house. The house was literally, but not uncom- fortably crowded, and we know of no more ra- tional or amusing entertainment than the native songs of our native minstrels. Nisio’s Garpen.—Two novelties were present- ed last night to a very full house, and the evening passed most pleasantly. ‘The Spirit of the Rhine” although a superficial production, has some highly effective points. Nickinson was the beau ideal of an old German Burgomaster, and the Gaoler’s taciturnity well set off the domineering self impor- tance of the old functionary. The lad MI di their parte to life, and except the eplendid and chanting scene in the secona act, representing a moonlight view on the Rhine, there could not be any better. It would be unjust not to mention the merit which this production of Mr. Bengough ex- hibits; if there were nothing else, this beaatiful and enchanting view would warrant us in saying that as a pupil of the great Standfield, he does credit to his preceptor. ‘ The eecond piece was Aldgate Pump.” Itisa graphic sketch of life in London, and well hits off Sy strong characteristics of low life. Mitchell, the Philosopher on Mud, kept the house in an up- roar of laughter. This is a most pleasant a(ter- piece. Let us have it again by all means; the Aldgate Pump is still far from being exhausted. Excursion.—The execarsion to the fishing banks yesterday in the R.

Ten counties are therefore yet tobe heard from. These gave a Whig vote io 1840, of 3,482, and a Democratic vote of 1717, showing an aggregate majority for Harrison of 12,594. “s It is seen in the ‘above table, that the aggregate popular vote has increased this year over that of 1842, and decreased from that of 1840, the year of Harrison’s election, and of the greatest political ex- citementever known in thiscountry. The increase of the vote this year over that of 1842, is larger on the Democratic side than on the Whig—thus: Thus showing a Democratic gain of 452 more than the Whigs exhibit.

AvvowtMent oy Gare Tenven.—At the opening of the Police cc urt yesterday morning, written notice was found ited within the bar, Compelling the attendance of one of e officers of the Court at the gate, in the cepacity of a lacquey or porter, with instructions to prevent the en- trance of persons whose business was not made known to the officer. Several of the Reporters of the pubiic press, under this high-handed, illeg: |, and anti-American ukase, were refused admission within the ber of the lice, as well as other citizens, whose business com; their attendance The indigna’ion of the officers selected by the magistrates, Messrs Drinker, Haskell and Merritt, who issued this manilesto, was fully evident, but being subordinates, they were compelled to obey the odious or- ders, Buta short time elapsed, when the magistrates re- ceived a protest against their unwise, arbitrary, and out- jeous violation of the rights of American citizens, which resulted in the removal ofthe obnoxious decree,and the confession of an ill-advised error,,concocted in a spirit, that if continued, would soon have destroyed the breeches of these public tunctionaries. We trust that we shall see no further encroachments upon the rights of ci- tizens by Police Magistrates—they should remember that they are the servants, not the masters ol the ‘that they have been selected to hear, receive and lis- ten to the complaints of ali who appear before them—that no bar, no obstacle can be placed be- tween them and those who seek redress. Tuey should remember that they possess no Rane to close the ave- nues to the administration of justice—that in accordance with the constitution of our State, the letter and spirit of which they have sworn to sustaia, all judicial proreed- ings are open to the public, and whenever they ne- ee contemplation the establishment of a Star Cham' Court in the public room of the police office, they had better resign their situations, ‘and allow their friends to select gentlemen of more enlightened and libe- ral principles.

Democratic gain, 2,268 Before Commissioner Rapleje. These returns are as accurate as we can get them at present. Both parties claim a gain In 1840 the whig majority was 13,601. In some coun- ties the aggregate vote has fallen off a little, while in others it has increased. This election, which is to choose a legislature, is looked upon asan im- portant one, as a United States Senator is to be elected to supply the place of White, whose term expires next March. Kentucky Exection.—No full returns have yet been received from this State. We should judge, however, from what we have heard that Owsley, the whig candidate for Governor, is elected, and as a matter of course, but not by a decisive majority. It was supposed that he would run behind his ticket. Intmors Exection.—All the returns we have re- ceived show that John Wentworth, democrat, is re-elected to Congress by a very large majority. Missouri Evzcrion.—No returns received. ¢ Tus Froops at THe Wesr.—At last we hear some talk about a public meeting in this city, for the purpose of collecting funds to aid the sufferers by the recent disastrous floods in the West. We trust that the movement will be made at once. In St. Louis alone it will require an expenditure of $20,000 to remove the deposit of mud from the wharf. The destruction of private property hes been incalculable. Let the great city of New York be the first to set the example in the work of be- nevolence. From Caraccas.—DaeapruL Destruction oF Prorerty.—Dates have been received frem Porto Cabello to the 28d ult. The small pox had nearly disappeared, but the inundations, caused by the excessive rains, had been feartul. ‘The main road from Caraccas 1o Puerto Cabello is im- sable, and the whole communication is now made by ¢ old road round the cept. Jn the valley of the Tuy the unfortunate proprietors of plantations have Jost their all. In fact, the destruction of the coffee and cocoa trees is immense, and the soil is either ruined by being washed away, or else covered up by the sand brought down the river. The poor laborers are beggared, and the landholer is in despair. ‘Thus much tor the feartul inundution of te river Tuy. In every fertile district of Sinamaica, in the yobs, of the river Limon, the loss by the flood is mealoulable. ‘The destruction of property far exceeds that of the great overflow of the year 183. Cattle of all kinds have pe- rished in almost incredille numbers, and the tew houses on the plantations not actually washed away are so in- jured as to be nearly worthless. In the untortunate city of Carora, half of the population have lost their homes, and the Governor has heen obliged to offer the hospital and barracks as a shelter for the suf fering poor.

It was, with- out doubt, the most successful trip that has occurred this season. Captain M. was assisted by one of our oldest ‘and most experienced masters on the ground, Capt. Rich- ard Yates, who brought to the steamer at about noon. The boat had scercely dropped anchor before the fish be- gan to fill the deck, and they were of every variety usu- ally taken in our neighborhood, beside embracing many of the species caught off the eastern shore, such as cod, haike, mackerel, &c. ‘Phere was a general feeling mani- fested on board that the amount of fish teken mgt be numbered, and a call was made and responded to vy those who threw over lines, and while attendisg at the desk of the captain, about 130 persons appeared and represented either themselves or their parties, ond the result was that between six and seven thousand were drawn in, in less than three hours. We doubt if so great a haul has ever been made on a similar occasion, at any time—certainly not this season.
