FIRST ELECTION RETURNS. PROBABLE DEFEAT Mr. Clay in Pennsylvania!!! Our accounts of the election held on Friday, in Pennsylvania, are of the most interesting charac- ter. We have the returns from the City and County of Philadelphia, and also from three other Counties in the State—hardly enough, however, on which to predicate an accurate opinion of what the probable result is likely to be, but yet indica- ting, with sufficient distinctness, in whose favor the chances will be in the State of Pennsylvania. According to the returns, therefore, the chances of carrying Pennsylvania are decidedly in favor of Mr. Polk and against Mr. Clay. The firat fact evolved in these returns relates to that important point touching the popularity of Mr. Clay as con- trasted with that of the whig party—a point which has heretofore been contested with a good deal of pertinacity. From what we have before us it ap- pears that Mr. Clay runs behind the whig ticket, so far as we have heard, in all the counties but one, that is Delaware, and as Delaware county is raid to be the seat of some manu- facturers, they probably made agreater effort there to increase his majority, which runs about one hundred beyond that of the Whig candidate tor Governor. In the agricultural counties, so far as heard from, Mr. Clay falls behind his ticket, and in this respect contrasts very unfavorably with Gen. Harrison, whose transcendant popularity was so eminently displayed in the election ef 1840, obtain- ing for him a majority far beyond that of the ticket ot the party which supported him. The result in the city and county of Philadelphia is also very remarkable. The whig majority in fa- vor of Mr. Clay has decreased from nearly 6,000 to 4,500. This may have arisen from the peculiar character of the ‘‘ native” vote, a portien of which undoubtedly gave their votes to Mr. Clay, thereby showing distinctly that after the first triumphant offort of the “native” party, when a new discus- sion and a new question comes up, the natives re- solve themselves into their original elements of de- mocrats and republicans. On the whole, the returus thus far from Pennsyl- vania, indicate that Mr. Clay’s cause is declining there, and that, therefore, Mr. Polk will carry the State. And if the same general feeling prevails throughout Ohio, New York, and other States, it is very easy to see that Mr. Clay’s chances of elec- tion to the Presidency are worse than those of Mr. Polk. Betore we come to a final opinion on this subject, however, we must hear more from Pennsylvania. All that. we hear to-night will be contained in the Sunday Herald to-morrow morn- ing. The returns received to-night will probably reach as far as the foot of the mountains, about Harrisburgh—sufficient to enable us to come to some conclusion as to the result of this great elec- tion. It appears, however, that the abolitionists in the city of Philadelphia have polled double the vote which they took last Presidential election. This shows that the whig attacks on Mr. Birney, instead of diminishing, have increased the strength of his supporters. Should the same feeling be manifest- ed in all the free States, Mr. Clay’s chances are of course proportionably and additionally increased. Bucks County. (By Special Express for the New York Herald } Morazisviuir, Bucks Co., Noy. 2—9 o’clock, A. M. J.G. Bennett, Esq.:— The Democracy have cause to claim a decided victory in old Bucks. The majority for Polk and Dallas will be about 350. This is the first time she ever gave her vote for a Democratic Candidate for the Presidency, and even “Old Hickory” himself, with all his popularity, did not receive a majority here. The whigs have made the most strenuous exertions, and the system of fraud and corrup- tion which they practised in a certaif township, was truly disgusting to every lover of order and de- cency. It is to be hoped that that highly respecta- ble and influential body, the Society of Friends, (who comprise the bulk of the Whig voters in the township I allude to,) were totally ignorant of the means resorted to by their politicians to increase the Whig vote. A more disreputable scene of drunk- enness and confusion it was never befere my lot to witness. A few items concerning their system of bribery and corruption may be interesting hereaf- ter. he abolitionists generally voted tor Clay, although, as many asserted, it was a “ bitter pill.” Returns From Bucks County.

Fouensy ane Fraup Exrosgp! To the Liberty Parly of Monroe County :— A document has just eyes said to be published originally in‘ the Fiint Michigan Democrat, Oct. 21,” containing, besides other ry afiidavits, a letter pur- porting to be written by James G. Birney ; in which, among other passages, are the following “ ‘To-morrow | start for the East, and 1 not return until after election My euney is indispensable, else a duellist cnd gambler will soon fill the seat of a Washing- ton, a Jefterson, and a Jackson.” “The democracy of the county must be well satisfied that I am rendering them more effectual service by advo- cating Abolition principles, than if | were openiy a De- mocrat.” ‘And again : “Thereby pledge myself te go for Democratic men and measures ; aud (a8 you suggested in our recent corres- pondence,) will forego the agitation of the Slavery ques- tion in our State Legislature.” Signed James G. Birney, and addressed to J. B. Garland, Esq. Saginaw, a Demo. crat of that place. This, fellow citizens, is the last desperate attempt of corrupt politicians to seduce the Liberty men from their principle, from their Chief, and from the ballot-box. We pronounce the whole document, as it appears in the Ro- chester Daily Democrat of this day, an entire fabrica- tion ; utterly unworthy of the least credit in that print it comes out as ‘From the Flint, (Mich 1) Demncrat, October 21, 1844” Wecall your especial attention to this caption : it is not from the newspaper above named, but the Democrat published it from an anonymous handbill, healed Genesee County Democrat, Extra; which hand- ill probably never saw Flint or Saginaw county. The whole document is an unworthy attempt at trick and imposition, but the pore bunglera who got it up, have not even palmed upon the people a probable lie. We un- hesitatingly brand it as a falsehood from beginning to end, got up and issued at the last moment, when an authentic refutation from our respected and beloved Birney was impossible, For the conspirators well knew that ust at this time he would be on Lake Erie, or about this moment reaching Detroit, while to-morrow the election oceurs in Ohio and Pennsylvania, and on Tuesday next in this State. The fraud then, cannot be fully expoged until the elections are passed. We can but denounce it, and our friends against giving the report the countenan ‘We must treat it asa forgery, as it un- Let then every man, who loves hi friend of ieee, up to the poll fempt_ to impose upon an eat people by voting for James G.

[Correspondence of the Herald.} Cumana, (Caraceas) Ist of Oct. 1844. Early Settlement of the Place—Politics—The Elec- tion—Education— Laws, &c.—Interesting Facts. Of all the numerous correspondents of the Herald, | believe this will be the first from the venerable mother of cities in the new world; a city which should indeed be venerated, being the first founded on this continent. {ts founder, Gonzalo Ocampo, here commenced the good work in the year 1520, The city was commenced about three leagues to the north of its present site, and a magnificent for was there erected,which still remains, deserted ; a little to the north of the fort, on the rising ground, stands the first arch of the tower of the first church ever erected this side the water, at least since Christopher Columbus made his discoveries ; ‘t stands alone on a barren and forsaken spot. | lingered for hours contemplating this ancient ruin, and was struck with melancholly awe at beholding the remnant of the first temple erected to the living God on this vast continent, and not the least pains are taken to preserve this venerable relic ; in fact, scarce a person in this city knew of its existence. Cumana was removed from the spot above de- scribed soon after it was commenced to be built, owing to the want of water, which the place is destitute of, and planted on the limped river Man- zanara, three-fourths of a mile from its mouth. The city betorethe revolution which first broke out here, contained abont thirty thousand inhabi- tants; it now only numbers eight thousand souls, seattered over a plain and divided by the river abeve described, and connected by a wooden bridge three hundred feet between the butments, and supported by wooden posts thirty feet above the water; this venerable wooden bridge is said to be one hundred years old, entirely exposed to the weather, but as sound as the day it was erected ; the flooring lanks only have been re- newed ; in the centre of the bridge, on either side, projects a platiorm or gallery with seats, on which politics are discussed every evening. The Cristianos (whigs) occupy one side, and the Libe- rales (locofocos) the other. i Politics here are carried to an alarming pitch. The election is ever and resulted in favor of the Cristianos by a Ieeianity of two votes—the votes are taken viva voce, and the polls were open eight fa according to law; the churches were designa- ted as the places of voting, fearing an outbreak; and it was supposed the churches would be re- spected. Proceasions every night—fireworks and songs. ‘* Tippecanoe and Tyler too” were entirely eclipsed in song singing, and some twenty days were exhausted in counting the votes by the city council. Thus, about one month in twelve is ex- clusively devoted to politics, by every class of so- ciety ; the ladies, however, are the most invete- rate pune 8; their whole theme of conversation has been onthe result of the election. How is it possible that such a country can thrive? And is It to be wendered at, this city being reduced trom its former prosperity and wealth to abject poverty. Every free man, over twenty-five years old, is eli gible to the elective franchise, except felons or persons who have been convicted of infamous crimes, or bankrupts who are unable to pay their debis. Bankrupts are, therefore, placed on a par with criminals, because it deems it criminal to squander away the property of another person. The province of Cumana, of which this city is the capital, extends 200 miles from east to west, and nearly the same from north to south, and 1s di- vided into nine cantons, with a population of 68,000 ; it sends two Senatorsand three representa- tives to ly ee it has every diversity ot soil, very fertile, but from the indolence ot the inhabi- tants, they are anclignaNty and but few enjoy the common comtorts of life. There are two classes, the Caballeros and Peones; the former are above work and exist in poverty, the latter are contented to exist in poverty and seldom rise above the sphere nature destined them to fill. The Caballere dis- daina to up hie son te be an artizan, because it would be degrading, and the Peon has not the opportunity or ability to study the mechanical pro- feasions. 3 ‘ ; Every child that is not sans culottes is admitted into the free schools, and there are but few of either sex who cannot read and write, and in the country they are taught by their mother, or an elder sister, who has received some education. The laws are generally excellent, but frequently badly administered. It requires two witnesses to prove a crime ora debt, but the precoeunen ee simple; to recover payment of a debt, the account or note is filed with the clerk of the court; he issues summons to the party -defendant to appear the following day; when the parties meet, the Judge endeavors to effect a settlement between them, but if they are obatinate, he directs each party to produce the names of three persons to act as arbitrators; exch party then chooses one name from the list of his opponent, and those two form the court with the judge to try the cause; witnesses may be called and examined by either party from day to day before the judge, and the clerk takes the testimony down in writ- ing. When completed, the judge cites the two arbi- trators, and they pronounce sentence. The de- tendant, if he is adjudged to pay, is allowed three days before execution issues against his property and person, Where a law Rend affects two persons, they may obviate the law by any agree- ment between themselves, leaving them free agents, without the arbitrary interference of the law. For instance, the legal interest by law is 12 percent, but the par may agree upon 12 per cent per month, if they choose, and can recover, because it does not effect a, third party. No per- son is admitted as a witness in a civil cause with- in the fourth degree of relationship, and no person of like affinity is compelled to give evidence in any criminal suit Witnesses are not sworn either upon the Bible or cross, nor is uny form of oath ad- ministered in courts of justice. The judge asks the witness if he will speak the truth, and he nods consent, thus acting upon the just principal that if @ witness will tell a lie, he will swear to it. Every canton has its courts; the Alcalde or Judge 1s elected by the people of the canton year- ly. There are also three circuits in the province, but neither of the judges are lawyers. ‘The supe- rior court, or court ob eppesl, holden in this capital, is composed of three Judges, who are lawyers, and from them there is an appeal to the supreme court of the nation, consisting of five judges.— There are five lawyers in this city, but none others in the province. These five do more injury, and create more suffer: itis said, than is derived from every other so They prey upon the ve- ry vitals of their victims. How, then, can your city survive with six hundred such vampires ?— The jail of this city is the only one in the province, and is State prison, debtors’ prison, and lunatic asy- lum, 1 has eleven inmates for crimes of every description, four of which have not yet had their trials, and the above number includes one insane person. The prisoners draw fifteen cents daily in money, and feed themselves. The prison itself is a litte more comfortuble than the best dwellings in this city; facing on the public square, the win- dows ure large, and reach to within three feet of the side walk, the apertures between the iron bars being6 by 9 inches; the prisoners in large airy front parlors, amuse themselves with cards, dice, &e.— They have a epaeious yard to walk in, and their friends can callatall houra of the day withoutin- terruption. The only distinction made is, the gentle. men occupy one parlor, and the laboring men the other, with a guard of six soldiers to attend them. Situated onthe bank of the beautiful gulf of Caviaco, three fourths of amile from the city, is a neat little building, exclusively for leprosy persons of both sexes. ere are many persons there af- flicted with this most loathsome and incurable dis- ease, who linger and are consumed by degrees. I am told that love enters this abode, and that mar- riages are here contracted between the inmates, and though banished from their friends and an intercourse with the world, they still find enjoy- ments. ‘This dreadful disease is said to add great- ly to the amorous disposition of the afflicted. Not one is licensed to kill scientifically; they are all bunglars. The poor patients cannot die secundum artem in this ancient city. Of amusements there are none whatever.

The Protestant Bible, in Spanish, from the English Bible Society, isin almost every house, without hiadrance of the clergy. Asall are Roman Catholics here, they can’t turn the Bible to political uses, or to turn the school fand from its legitimate channel. The Irish have themselves drawn a national distinction in New York, and why, then, complain of the Native Americans?

New Brunswick, Oct. 24, 1844. New Jersey Presbyterian Synod—Talk—Prayers— Talk—-Sermons—-Talk —-Talk —-Talk—-Talk— Talk, §c. Knowing the interest you take in all important movements, religious and political, 1 have thought to write to you from this city of slow-paced Dutch men, giving you a brief account of a meeting of the highest ecclesiastical body of the Presbyterian Church in this State. The Synod of New Jersey met here on Tuesday last in the church of that elo- quent divine and faithful preacher, the Rev. Dr, Davidson. The number of clergymen in attendance was not large, and if one may judge trom their physiogno, my there was among them no wonderful array of talent. The Rev. Drs. Alexander Yeomans, Mur- ray, Davidson, and Addison Alexander, might be accounted the cream; the others, the skimmed- milk, variously diluted, some even to the blueish tint, and therefore, most appropriately members of a New Jersey Synod. The exercises were opened with a sermon on the qualifications and duty of ministers, by the Rev. Dr. McLean, the moderator. Tuesday evening was occupied with addresses onthe jatieay of Foreign Missions;‘a prayer, not re- markabletor brevity, was made by Rev. Dr. Miller. After which a boniface-looking personage proceed- ed with an address of about 16 or 20 minutes, in the course of which he remarked that while Opes rates in the world, men are used as the means, and it might with truth be said, that all the good and evil done in the world is done by man—this re- mark, one of peal arpetical importance, was pre- ceded and followed by a strain of eommon-place appeals, that may be found im“the various migsion- ary reports of the past ten years. He was followed by another in an address remarkable only for con- taining not remarkable per #. After which, the Rev. Dr, Alexander rose, and informing the audience that he had been invited by the Secre- tary of the Board to say something at a Home Missionary meeting, to be held during the session of the Synod, and that his epgagement would not admit of his being present then, he would on the present occasion make one remark in reference to that subject; it was this, that the Synod of New Jersey drew more from the Home Missionary Board for the support of the gospel within their bounds than they contributed to it.‘ Here,” said he,” ‘is a fact for you to meditate upon.” And a startling fact it ought to have been—yet it seemed to produce but little effect on the leaden counten- ances of the majority of ministers present. He then proceeded to advocate and enforce the claims of foreign missions, and the duties of ministers in reference thereto in @ strain of elaquence, and with an ardon and zeal so far worthy of emulation as that one might well be led to question whether there could be concentrated from one halt the Sy- nod the lite, energy, and proper appreciation of duties and responsibilities there existed in that old man of nearly 80. F is ‘ Last evening was occupied with a meeting on the subject of Home Missions. An address of greater length than merit was made by Dr. Mc- Dowell, who was followed by. a tall-looking per- sonage, who seemed determined to enforce his ideas by violent gestures, about as appropriate to their object as a cow bell would be to a church steeple. To tell what has been done by this Synod likely to produce any good practical effect, would be a tasx of some diticulty and would require much patient waiting. Discussions about Rome, foreign missions and home missions, and, as if to carry us back a few centuries, propositions to es- tablish Presbyterian common schools, are the fruits of this Synod. This common school project, so, monstrous in itself, ought to receive the frowns of all intelligent Presbyteria! If bigotry must be tolerated, and even nurtured in the bosoms of our children, let us go over at once to Bishop Hughes. Why meet him half way? Why boast of our pe- culiar constitutional adoptedness to our political condition, while we coule atrive to lay hold of and warp the human inind? We trust this project will receive favor uo Where beyond the wal!s that con- tained this Synod. Noone we know can object to the wuthorized teachers of a church promulga- ting and caforcing, with all their skill in argument, and with all the force of a deep-seated conviction, resulting from a laborious investigation, the pecu- liar doctiines of their church; but when itis pro= posed to establish and foster a narrow sectarian selfi-tuess, as the system proposed would, it is time to sound the alarm. Seriously, we believe there is no class of men among christians, as such, who need more direct, sound and awakening, soul- stirring preaching, than ministers of the gospel. Accustomed, as they are, to point out duty to , they lose sight of the fact, that in their sta- uties of no ordinary character are required of Ministers, while there are among them many honorable exceptions, are too much prone to con- sult their ease. Instead of coming forth on the Sabbath with burnished armor, ready to do battle against the great enemy of mankind, they are con- tent to come forth with the fruits of sufficient la- bor only to have beaten out the few theological ideas that have been beaten into them, into a pair of slumber-proveking sermons. And when they hear it alleged that the doctrines of their church are likely to lose their foothold—that parents are becoming indifferent to them, and their children are like to be permitted to wander bey ind their pale, what do these far seeing ministers? Forget- ting their own responsibilities—torgetting that they are fast yielding their just and proper infla- ence upon the minds of the young—that they are transferring it to unlearned, inexperienced Sabbath school teachers—that Bible classes and weekly doctrinal instructious superintended b them are fast becoming obsolete, and having sul- ficient perception to discover that something must be done, and not dreaming of redoubling their own labors, modestly propese to transfer the keep- ing of Pre: byterianisma into the hands of the Com- mon-school teachers. . Verily, if these men were, like Paul, called to boast what “speaking as a fool,” it would indeed be. Fortunately, in the present instance, nothing was done but to talk of the matter.
