The Election Returns, The readers of the Herald may rest assured that, during the election which is about to take place, we shall spare no pains nor expense to place before them full and accurate returns, from the various States, at the earliest moment possible. Those | returns will be veluable as a reference hereafter, and we shall endeavor to have them as correct as po:sible. We intend to give the returns of all the elections held in this country, Presidential or otherw:se—first, telegraphically, and then offi- cially. The returns, however, can be sent over the wires with official accuracy, if they be given to the eperators properly and correctly. All these returns will be published in the Weekly Herald.

The Presidential Electlon—The Develop- ments of public Opinion in the Pennsyl- | Vania and Ohio Elections. Atthe Philadelphia Convention the old whig party was disbanded. It had fallen behind the progress of popular opimion; and the creed upon | which 1t had sustained such frequent and disastrous defeats, was formally, openly, and finally, aban- doned. It was not abandoned in the refusal of a party proclamation—it was not abandoned in the denial of an endorsement of old measures or of new questions dividing the two great parties of | the campaign ; but it was openly, formally, and | finally, relinquished in the surrender of Henry The experiment was bold and emphatic, hazardous and uncertain, yet imperatively de- manded by the events of the times, and the shaping of the popular sentiment upon them. Looking, then, to the tendencies of popular feel” | ing, the experiment wis made. The party was | instantly thrown into chaos and insurrection; and, notwithstanding the almost hopeless disorganiza- tion of the democrats, their condition was har- mony, contrasted with the confusion in the whig ranks. The elections, following upon the heels of the nomination of General Taylor, his cool recep- tion of that nomination, and his acceptance of the South Carolina resolutions—his unique and singu- Jar indifference to mere party obligations—his consistent maintenance of an independent reserva- tion of opimons—all contributed to extend the mutiny, and to increase the hazard of the game, which the whigs, in their extremity of distréss, had resolved to play. Such was the chaotic confusion of the whig | party as late as the month of September. The prospects of Gen. Cess had almost shaped them- selves into the certainty of success. The inevi ble loss of the State of New York, from the disaf- fecton ot the barmburners, the dangers threatened by this diseffection to other democratic States of the North, were all of them so completely coun- terbalanced and overwhelmed by the disruption of the elements of the whig party, as to leave scarcely a doubt of the triumph of the Baltimore nomination, with all the odds against it. Opportunely coming 1m at this crisis of the con. test, other letters were published from Gen. Taylor. Though entirely consistent with what he had written before, from his condescension to enter into explanations, they were deemed satisfactory, even by the mutineers ; and such as were not ap- peased thereby were left no alternative than to adopt them, after the reiterated refusal of Mr. Clay | to permit his name to be vsed by the barnburners | of his party, in their efforts to prevent its reorgani zation. With the last heart-rending speech a Vauxhall of Mr. Botts, (like Senator Bagby’s ex | cruciating ergument against the Texas annexation,) | the mutiny in the whig camp was silenced into submistion; and that other man, that champion | of infinitesmal crudities, he who in his abhorrence | of war h d been pleesed to style Gen. Taylor a hireling butcher ; he who in his love of liberty go, | up a triumph in cypher, amounting to a cypher, for | the Insh patriots et Slievenamore ; the champion | of Mexico, Fourier, red republicanism in France, and bran bread end blue milk in America, 1s con” strained to tall into the procession; and with such grace a8 @ caoutchouc conscience may command, | to bestride the prostrate body of the great embodi” ment, while holding aloft to the applauding blue- ters have contributed to harmonize every existing cause of division among his independent friends, and to rally and re-organize in his support the dis- affected of the whigs. The October elections in Pennsylvania and Ohie are amply significant of the hold of Gen, Taylor upon the populer mind, particularly the result in Pennsylvania. We are 1 the active processes of another revolution—it is that revolution in public sentimert which dictated the nomination of Gen. Taylor by the whig convention. The | election of Johnston as Governor of Pennsyl- vania may be ettributed to his personal popu- larity, and to many local causes, such, for in- stance, as the fratermizetion of ihe native | Amenicans and the iree-soilers with the whigs, | but the main and moving cause is the general fa- | vor in which the name of Tayler is held in the key- stone State. The people of that commonwealth | babits ef General Taylor are congenial. They like him, becavee they know him to be a plain, un- ostertatiousman. A primitive and peaceful peo- ple, too, are most suscepuble to the claims of a military chieftain. His courcge, his achievements, and all the little incidents of the camp, have, to a tural people, a peculiar fascination. Far off from the scenes end paraphernal’a of war, they read and hear of battles with all the enthusiasm of romance; ard if the hero, as in this instance, exemplifies in all his conduct, the quiet and homely traits of mind which mark the plain, domestic man, he will win upon their partiality in spite of themselves, Thus, it would seem, has the nomination of Gene- ral Taylor operated among the tarmers of Pennsyl- yania—thus, it would appear, it is operating all over the Union. The election of Johnston has broken the spel! in Pennsylvania, of the invincibility of the regu- gular democratic nominetion. The vote of Lan- caster, taking the leed from Berks, may also be regarded as an omen of most favorable sigmfi- cance to the whigs. Yet the election of Johnston was not accomplished, and could not have been accomplished, by the whigparty alone. Various elements, heretofore acting with the democrats, and not now identified with the whigs, voted their tickets in the late election. Foremost, and most important of these elements, is the party growing out of the Buffalo Convention, known as the tree soilers. If the facts could be ascertained, it thousand Van Buren democrats voted for John- ston. Their object may yet be made apparent in the Presidential struggle. In that election, every democratic free soiler will doubtless vete for Van Buren; but since the success of Johnston, and the rapidly growing populerity of Gen. Taylor, it may be reasonably expected that many free soil whigs will desert the Van Buren standard, and rally to the support of the Philadelphia nominees. The con- trol of the public works having fallen 10to the hands of the whigs, it wilt be something unusual if Cass among the thousands of employees on the rail roads and canals. General Taylor, therefore, may dispense with the barnburners, who supported Johnston, and yet gain enough from other sources to make up the deficiency. While, then, we do not consider the State of Pennsylvania as beyond all doubt certain to go for General Taylor—while we-do not consider the October election as the ex- act test of the election of November—it would -seeyn that the democrats have been losing ground too far to recover their ascendancy during the present campaign. The deserters from their ranks will not return to the support of Cass; and the only hope of Cass is in the contingency of Quaker and free soil desertions from the whig ranks to the support of Van Buren. their alliance with the whigs ; and, altogether, as tar as the result is foreshadowed, the State of | Pennsylvania 1s lost to General Cass; although | or an offer of purchase rejected, a certain doom promised to him by General Sanderson, in the Baltimore Convention, by a majority of 30,000. The October result in Ohio 18 not distinctly known, nor have we any exact data upon which to estimate the eflect of the free soil vote in Novem- ber. But, as the headquarters and the great strength of the Buffalo nominees 1s in the Western Reserve, and as that quarter of the State is of 1t- self sufficient in its disaflection to lose the State to the whigs, the disaffection in other parts of the State in both parties being neutralized, 1t would argue that General Taylor has but a slender chance for Ohio. The free soilers, undoubtedly, have some idea of the extent of their organization, its strength, and the proportion drawn respectively from the other two parties. They declare that in no event can General Taylor secure the State of Ohio. This may be so; but with the security of Pennsylvania, the vote of Ohio loses its import- ance. As far as the States have been tried, and as fa, as conceded, General Taylor, without the vote of Ohio, (if he has the vote of Pennsylvania) will be elected. There is, also, a very promising indica- tion, notwithstanding the late ukase of Mr. Cal- houn, his triends, and the support of General Cass by the organ of Mr. Calhoun, that South Carolina, by her legislature, will cast her nine votes for Ge- neral Taylor, so, that, in every aspect of the cam- paign, the prospects of (ieneral Taylor are fitty per cent bettér than they were one month ago, and far superior to the prospects of Mr. Polk at this stage of the canvass of "44. In one word, from present evidences, testimony, indications, and appearances, the presence of Ge- neral Taylor will be required in Washington at the next inauguration. Tue Morauity oy 4 Monarcaicat GovERNMENT’ —When destiny had placed Lamartine on the un- easy seat of power he so briefly occupied, how tender were his reproaches when he enumerated to the Insh deputation, who solicited his aid to redress their country’s wrongs, the various acts of cruel injustice England had inflicted on France! and how divine the spirit that sought to forgive them! He desired not to let loose rebellion in Ireland to avenge the horrors that English gold and influence had perpetrated in La Vendée; and the destruction of their pecuniary resources, by the introduction of a spurious paper currency. It is difficult for human nature, constituted as it 18, to look with so Christian a charity on grievances 30 great; there isin them a buoyancy which even time cannot submerge. The scattered events in the history of the past, something like the stray motes that float on the surface of the water, are attracted into forms and combinations that fre- quently suggest matters of curious and interesting reflection. Among the first which strike the mind are coincidences which a fertile imagination of- ten traces to some present circumstance or event. And, in this respect, it is not a little singular that one of the gently enunciated grievances of this statesman against ling. land, should have been made at the very time when materials were being prepared that should stockings a banner, emblazoned with the Phila- delphia nominations. With the secession, but not because of the ac- | cession, of the godlike Damel, and the junior em- bodiment, and the vegetable philosopher, the prospects of General Taylor brighten straight away.

The unconscious instrument to this discovery | is recently published history of the Bank of England, by Mr. Francis, who seeks in it to ex- | culpate Mr. Pitt and his ministry, from the censure of posterity, for inundat ng France with spu- nous assignats. The attempt, however, proves in its results the truth of the proverb, that an indisereet friend is worse than an avowed enemy. The last number of the Forecgn Quarterly, in reviewing the work, denies the author's conclusions, and supplies some curious detail to substantiate his ground. it is, nevertheless, due to Mr. Francis to attribute his inaccuracy to that paueity of published evidence which transactions of soch a kind were involved in at the time of its occurrence. Towards the close of the last century, the public journals were tew in wormber, their reports of parliamentary acd | eredings were extremely meagre, and vi \ eerted when vested witit mutter of | sy ye inter Under sueh circumstances, are plain and simple in their manners, and the | would, doubtless, appear that from four to five | that circumstance does not operate against Gen.

The reviewer, by dint of research, lays before his readers a case tried before the late Lord Chief Justice Kenyon, for the recovery of the value of a dishonored bill of exchange, for a sum amounting to about thirty pounds. The plaintiff was an engraver, of the name of Strongitharm, and had been waited on by a Mr. Lukyn, who entered into a negotiation with him to make fac simutes of the plates, on blocks, from which the assignats of the French Directory were printed. The progress of the plaintifl’s case established, to the satisfaction of the court, that the order was given by Lukyn to enable the go- vernment to supply the Duke of York’s army, with this paper to circulate in Holland and elsewhere. The defence was characteristic of the transaction. It was pleaded that, being based on fraud, the amount could not be recovered. The Chief Jus tice, however, took another view on the point, aad | held that it was lawful for a government thus to distress an enemy. Not only so, but he expressed his belief that the work was ordered by the de- | fendant as the agent of the government ; or if not the direct one, his proceedings had its sanction It 18 almost unnecessary to say that the plaintiff Tecovered a verdict. The reviewer's narrative being so conclusive on the subject, it ends with the verdict. It happens, fortunately for those who may desire the gratification of their curiosity, or for others who wish to read a moral in the sequel, that the review fell into the hands of a journal published in a suburb ef Newcastle on Tyne. His intormation has added the remaining links which complete the chain of evidence that fixes the transaction on the government. The observa- tion 1s almost trite, that honesty of purpose seeks no concealment ; its opposite is confirmed in this ease. A secluded vale in the wilds of Northum- berland was found, wherein to make the paper and print the notes. At Houghton mill, in the neigh- borhood of Plexham, the property ct a Mr. Smith, not only was it made, but the same premises con- tained the presses that were sent down by govern- ment to print the notes, which were worked off by pressmen who arrived with the machinery. The editor adds, by way of conclusion, that those who desire ocular demonstration of these facts, may do so by calling on a gentleman whom he | names, and who resides in the neighborhood, who is the possessor ot a variety of blank specimens of the paper, and also of the printed impressions of | the forgeries. | It might be somewhat problematical to stigma_ tize this transaction otherwise than a dishonorabl. and immoral one, notwithstanding the mitigating opinion expressed by the chief justice in tavor of the law that sanctioned such a means of distress- ing an enemy. It1s not an open, straighttorward mode ot fighting a battle, but an assimilation to the secretly dark and dastardty stabs and assassi. nations of the Italian stiletto. Not only has Fraace o remember this infamy as a nation, but thousands | of her citizens still live, who have, by its means, been reduced from affluence and comfort to th. | occupation of menial offices and the direst poverty. ‘The ingenuity of a host of agents was called into pley to mtroduce the paper into the country; and the numerous British cruisers on the coast floated them te the shore, whence they were picked up» | and frequently applied to the most fraudulent pur- poses by designing men. Estates of value were pur- chased and paid forwith the spurious treasure which the waves had cast on the shore. Redress there was none, the victims prefering rather to lose theit property than peril their heads during the reiga of | terror, which the ceaseless terrors of the guil. | jotine inspired. The chief perpetrators of the revolutionary atrocities in the south were those | who profited most largely as utterers of this | money.

The patriotism of her citizens assented | to the suggestions of the Directory; they yielded upto the national treasury their plate and their trinkets, frequently the heirlooms of a long line of descent, to be coined for the use of the State. To | supply the wants of the inferior medium of mone- tary circulation, the church and cathedral bells were dismounted, and converted into the coin that exists to the presentday. With the remembraace ! of such inflictions and sacrifices having been im- posed upon them, it would be almost too much to believe that Frenchmen do not sometimes indulge in bitter thoughts and expressions against Eng- land. Whilst, however, England sought to “dis- tress” her enemy, hew much more has she dis- tressed herself. The people and the principles she sought to crush, at the cost of millions of lives | and hundreds of millions of money, still survive. | Thirty-three years of abeyance have terminated | | in another defeat of crafty oppression. The tem- porary cloud that hangs over the victory will be dispersed, and they will yet be rewarded for thei, | | past suflerings in the cause of freedom. Pitt, the much vaunted pilot who weathered the storm, left his bark a stranded wreck; he has sunk into the | grave, along with his kindred companions, to give an account of their stewardship and their deeds; and it were Christian charity to pray, that the power who allows the sun to shine alike on the good and the bad, may judge them mercifully. Nomination For Rea@isten.—The whig county | convention will assemble at the Broadway house, this evening, for the purpose of making nomina- tions for the coming election. One of these will be for the office of Register of the city and county of New York. Various persons are aspiring to this office, one of whom, Mr. Edwin Willams, so well known in the community as the compiler of Williams’ Register, and other valuable statistical works, has already been wominated by a large meeting, recently held in thiscity. Mr. Williams | isa man of great experience and statistical know- ledge, is as well qualified to fill the office of Re- gister as any in the city, and if elected, would, no doubt, discharge his duties to the satisfaction of all parties, as well as with honor to himselt.

V. Bogy vs. Shaub, et al., which, if finally sustained by the Supreme Court, will determine the title to @ very considerable portion of real estate situ- din the north part of the city,in favor of the claim- ants im possession. The case is too long and too complicated to be reported in full in our columns this morning, and we will only state it briefly, The pre- sent occupants claim title under one G. F. Strother, who purported to have title under Mr. Pierre Chouteau, Sr. It seems that prior to Mr. Chouteau’s deed to Strother, he had conveyed certain property to his son, A. P. Choutean, by a deed in French, but duly re- corded; and in bis deed to Strother he excepted “all lands heretofore sold by him included within certain boundaries.” This deed had been overlooked, al- though it had been on the county records for near by thirty years, About two years ago it was aiscovered, and it created no slight sensation when it was firet understood that Mr. Bogy had acquired « claim which went to overturn the titles in the vicinity of the Big Mound, and among sundry good people, who had been reporting im feigned recurity upon their tities to pro- perty, for re long a time supposed to be guod,“ to the praise of evil doers,’ and the consternatio who considered themecives thereby prev from ‘doing well.” The instructions of the court, it is said, are decidedly against the * Bogy Title” ‘The case,in, Volving # very large amount of property, will, of course, fo vp to the Supreme Covrt,—St, Louis Republican, Oct 8 The pu four bret el fecks of flour a than two er of bakers in Paris, is 604, who are divided cording to the amount of business isis of sueh as bake Upwards of fo and the fourth such as bake le ; be rust | with ¢ FES TELEGBAPHM INTELLIGENCK, The Ohio Election Still in Doubt.

The election in 1845 was for a delegate to Congress. The Des Moines Whig says that Daniel F. Miller (whig) is elected to Congress from the first district of Towa, beating Thompson about 130 votes. The rejeo- tion of the poll book of the Kanesville precinct, by the Clerk of Monroe county, will secure to Thompson the certificate of election, but Miller will contest the séat in Congress without doubt.

[From the Albeny Journal, Oct. 14] We have yet received nothing to contradict the ru- mored election of the locofoco candidate for Governor; nor have we the details to confirm it. It is possibly true. We are willing to admit that it ut in doing 80, we wish to call attention to the d is whieh we publish from thirty counties—all that ve receiv- ed. To obtain the footings given, we have taken nothing for the whigs, which does not seem ne while we conceded to the locos all, and a great more, than the returns seem to justify. For instance, Ross county, in one report, is set down at only 37 for Ford, and in another at 600. Although the 37 majori- ty is probably the te Cee ofa Ge le town in Ross county, (as Clay had 941,) yet we only set down 37 as the whole majority of the county. Loraine county is down, in all the papers, at 1,000 for Ford. This we cut down to 100, as Clay’s majority was 163. Rich- land county is re d 1,300 for Ford This not be, and we throw it out. Ford’s reported majori all the other counties seem fair; and yet, after making all these deductions, he is only 1.952 behind Clay's majorities in the same counties, when Clay had within 8 fraction of 6,000 in the State.

Anany, October 12.—Theodeore Olcott, cashi of th ‘anal Bank, was placed upon trial ou an indictment for embezaling $4,208 belonging to the Ogdensburgh Bank. Henry G. Wheaton, Samuel Stevens and Nicholas Hill, jr., Esqrs., appeared a3 his counsel; Marcus T. Reynolds, Esq., associate counsel. The District Attorney and Samuel S. Foote, Esq, om bebalf of the people. The following. persons were sworn in as jurors to try the cause :—David Mead, J. R. Wilhams, A. Gifford, §. Poblman, James Jock, Henry Judson, D. Hungerford, P. Batchelder, A. Case, Elias Schermerhorn Henry Dutcher and Electus Shear, Toe District Attorney spend the cause by saying that the questions involved in it were matters of great im- bes both to the prisoner and to the community. he crime of embezzlement was one not very simple. It was perpetrated under very different circumstances from the crimes of the nature heretofore tried here. The acoused is # man connected by every tie, both of business and relation, with the first men of the city and the State, yet he stood here to be judged as a cul- prit, with the other culprits who had been tried by the ‘ourt this week. It might not be amiss to take this case into consideration, not by the man’s relation- ship, but by his acts relative to the explosion of the Canal Bank. The failure of an institution as jgantic in its operations as the Canal Bank, felt by all. The embezzlement he is ch: d with is kage containing $4,208 of the bills of the Og- densburgh Bank. If the prosecution succeeded in suqstantiating the charge, they should demanda cons viction, Mr. Olcott was the cashier of the Canal Bank ; the Ogdensburgh Bank did business in the county of St. Lawrence. The bills of the latter insti- tution were either redeemed in New Yerk or Albany. The Canal Bank was its agent to redeem its bills in this city. The bills of the bank, if taken at another be are sealed up and the amount mar! and sent to the agency for redemption. The Ca: nal Bank had in their possession for the pure pose of such redemption, some $30,000 or $40,000. On the 6th of July the Mechanics’ and Farmers’ Bank tent the package of $4,208 to the Ca: was there Soares ress, according to the agreement with the bank that ‘sued the bills. Mr. Olcott wrote that he had received it, but that he did not forward the package. but sent it to New York for the purpose of being thrown into market, or used for some other purpose, The Ogdens- burgh Bank heard no more from their agency until they heard of its explosion, and of the bills being thrown into market There were three counts in the ind.ctment ; the first charges that Mr. Oleott was the cashier, and that this package came into his posses- sion, and that without authority he embezzled the said package; the second, that as cashier he was @ agent of the Ogdensburgh Bank; the third, similar to the first. The last count was for lar- ceny, in stealing the package. The District At- Sede’ § then took his seat and called the first wit~ Tuomas McMvutien, sworn.—Is clerk in the State Banking Department; ‘has resided in the city 21 years: has known the Canal Bank as a bank since 1829, antil it closed on the 1ith of July; has the file of the ap- pointment of the Canal Bank. as agent of the Ogdeas- yurgh Bank for Albany, dated July Ist, 1840, and filed June 30th, 1840 He exhibited the file, Joun D.

The District Attorney read from the Revised Sta- tutes, the law making such agency to the Canal of the President and Board of Directors authorizing its peaks the certificate was allowed, subject to excep- jon. Mr. Wheaton contended that the certificate did not prove the appointment, as it was written, “the Canal Bank,” instead of the Canal Bank, of Albany, its corporate name, The ob ection was over-ruled. Mr. Jupson was recalled.—The Canal Bank acted as the redeeming agent, in Albany, for the Ogdensburg Bank. Since about July, 1540, the date ppoiatment, do«n to the time of closing the bank, the Ox burg farnished the Canal Bank with funds to rede the bills; from the 6th to the 10th of July, they had been furnished not leas than $30,000; there was that balance on hand in favor of the Ogden+burg Bank, the financtal officer wich whom they corresponded was Mr, Olcott; the mode and course of redemption was for the eity banks to seal up their bills every Satarday, and to advise them of the amount sealed up, and vo request redemption in twenty days’ time from the agency; atthe + xpiration of the twenty days, they are handed in, realed, directed to the Ogdensburg Bank, and, usually, the amount in them iy marked on the outside of the package; the Canal Bank then redeems the amount and advises the Ogdensburg Bank; he ex- hibited the letter of instructions to their agency, in reference to the disposal of the redeemed bills which he wrote them; since the forwarding of the le ter. they have been forwarded by Wells & Go's Express; the let- ter was taken from the file at the Canal Bank, Anpnew Waite, eworn—Is an agent since the Uth of July, to take care of the affairs of the Canal Bank ; the lefter was on file, and the endorsement on its back 18 inthe rame handwriting; all are endorsed in the tame handwriting.
