An average gain of 30 in each will give Taylor the State, The Richmond Enquirer of the 16th makes the whig gain in 120 counties 4,568, and 16 counties to hear from. The editor adds :— From the imperfect character of the return: almost impeesible to make any estimate a mating the truth—yet, though we have lost shame- fully in many counties (and beyond the expecta- tions of the most pangpine whig,) we still teel xa- a that the State ast her vote for Cass and jutler.

Conceding that Virginia, Mississippi, Mlinois, and Tows have gone for Cass,—though the result in each is yet doubtful,—Cass will have carried fifteen States, and Taylor fifteen.

FREE SOI, VOTE IN MICHIGAN. “In the interior of Michigan, Mr. Van Buren presses Gen. Taylor very ciose, in several of the towns distan- cin, both Cass and Taylor, and in sixteen towns of Jackson county polling 1,004 votes to 1,425 for Cass, and 894 for Taylor; Van Buren receiving in the town of Leoni 186, Cass 84, Teylor 34; in Grand Lake, Van Buren 114, Case 114, Taylor 44; Springfort, Tay- Joe 43, Van Buren 41, Cass 36; Tompkins, Taylor 4, Van Buren 34, Cass 21. All these are in Jackson | county, the only county which the Free Press gives in | detail. The Legislature is yet doubtful. ‘The whigs of several of the counties formed union tickets on the county officers,and in this manner have suc jd in electing their county tickets in many of the doubtful counties. Jackson, Barry, ‘Washtenaw, Wayne, Calhoun, Berrien, Cass, Kent, Ottawa, and Oakland counties have gone for Cass, while Monroe and Gennesee counties give Gen. Tay- lor majorities. The First ward of Detroit, hith whig. gives Cases majority of 61, many whigs goin; for Van Buren. Cass resides in this ward, an the efforts of his friends were unceasing to revola- tionize it and obtain a majority, which they finally accomplished. THE ELECTORAL COLLEGES. In order to fulfil the decree of the American peo- Plo, as expressed through the ballot-boxes on Tues- day of last week, it will devolve on the electors of Pre- sident and Vice President of the United States to meet ‘Wea: discharge their duty ocoreing to certain forme of law.

Honor on that day expressed a hope, that w Mr. Hecker re- mained among them “he might learn the beauties ot those institutions, the land where, freedom de- lighted to dwell.” Would one not imagine that the very cab-horses in the United States gave mo- tion to the vehicles simply under the influence of moral restraint? Would not one suppose that, at the slightest intrmation of fatigue upon the part of the animals in question, the conductor or driver would put himself between the shafts, and sufler the horse to get inside? Wait a moment; let us ree how human beings, how the fellow-creatures of those, who delight to tickle each other's ears with this miserable cant about liberty and free institutions, are treated in America. Mr. Frederick Johnson, the well known negro emancipationist, in conjunction with others of his oppressed race, has published a manitesto to his colored brethren, of which the following is an ex- tract. The passage 18 a far more forcible comment upon all the flummery served bp at “Old Tam- many,” than anything here could be :— “But, fellow countrymen, it is not so much our pur- pore tocheer you by the progress we have already made, as it is to stimulate 78 to still higher attain- ment. We have done much, but there is much more tobe done. While we have, enlace rcta Al fang cause to thank God, and take courage for the hopeful changes which bave taken place in our condition, we are not without caure to mourn over the sad condition which we yet occupy.

To avoid making any noise by the breaking ot the case whieh contained the jewels, they pasted the glass well over with a heavy paper, and then strik- ing it with an iron instrument, shivered it gently with a muffled sound, none of the pieces droppi to the floor.

Let the reader, therefore, listen to us in the same attentive spirit The Patent Office was robbed of these same jewels, or the most valuable of them, onee and on that occasion the depredation was commit- ted at the direction of a1 angled felon, by Tom Hand, to accomplish h ase. Thecriminal to whom we allude was the renowned Tom Walker, (the former companien of the Webbs,) now ina Southern penitentiary en a ten years’ sentenee for robbing the mail. This man stood interlocked with some dozen or more ot daring and heavy burglaries in Baltimore and New York; and hav- ing no hope of compromise by ordinary means, lie summoned an outside friend or two to his assis- tance, and directed the Patent Office to be robbed. It wasdone., A reward of $1,000 was of the recovery of the pnpenty, by “Let me slip through my pre Tom Walker to certain confident I'll turn up this government swa; enced officers took the hint, and having made ¢ the necessary arrangements with the local district attorneys, cunningly advised the agents of the government to raise the reward to fifteen hundred dollars. The five hundred dollars were adde when lo! as if by magic, the trunk containing tl missing jewels was found reposing all ready to the hands of ** ye vigilant police,” upon the deck ot the big Mary Bright; and Tom Walke maugre all his accumulated crimes, was hoe pocuszed into the open atr. Noenquiry was made after the thieves, and the government, with a dirty fondness for 1ts worthless baubles, paid the price for their recovery, without making any eflorts to vindicate its outraged laws; and the thieves went by with the wind—no man to question them. It remains to be seen if this latter transaction 18 to end in the same way. [or our part, we hope jt may not. We are opposed to compromise, in toto.” Rather than that the thieves should buy a single day from a ten year’s sentence, onobtain a ehade of favor for an associate, by restitution, we would see the jewels thrown into the sea, or con- sumed before our eyes; and we believe our own- ership in them is as great ae that of the President himself, They are worthless, in every sense ; in- deed, mere baubles of barbarian caprice, and of a value purely visionary. As trifling as they are, however, they will not be hurt, and, in good time, will all come back again. The attar of roses will never be uncorked, the thieves are not fools enoug! for that; the jewelled snutl box will remain unde- spoiled, and the scabbard of the diamond-hilted sword will never suffer under the erncible, or even the scratch of an irreverent pin. Thisisa matter, however, that should give a great government very small concern. Its true inquiry is after the de- spoilers, and its legitimate aim, the punisament of those who havs so audaciously defied its laws. Who Sroie tur Government Jewecs !—Under this heading, the Herald, of yesterday, published our hypothesis that the government jewels had been stolen for the purpose of forcing a compro- mise in favor of Charley Webb, now in the State pricon. The calculation, whether it be worth any thing or not, was ours, and reached the Herald by having been dropped in the hearing of one of its reporters. We are willing to see the Herald far in advance, as it unquestionably is, of all the rest of the press, in the ordinary departments of intell- gence ; but in criminal pa Leese we shall in- sist upon claiming our own thunder. wherever we see orhear it.

Among these sharpers are some two or three pettifogging lawyers, and other speculators, who procure a complaint against the po- licy seller, it before the police authorities and then make the charge. After this is done a third party is sent to the policy dealer who proposes to settle the matter for « certain sum. This arrangement is ge- nerally accepted and a compromise entered into, as the policy dealer, knowing that his business is illezal, is willing to settle the case in this way. and thus pre: vent afurther exposition Many ef se dishonest vegabonds who practice this system of extortion, are well known, and their names are before the magis- trates who intend to take such steps in the matter as the nature of their vile acts may justify. Robbing a Stranger.—Rather a simple yankee, by the name of John Cammel, a resident of Charlestown, New Hampshire, visited the city this week on business, and while strolling about in search of sights, and big things to relate to his folks upon his return, he came acrcas one of the rhe elephants of this little town, who called herself Louisa Robbins, and being pretty good looking, he was induced to vieit her lodging room, situated at No. 169 Mulberry etreet, where, after an hour’ bis eyes, aweet Louisa was jumber, on creping: missing, together with his wallet. containing $270 This loss rade the poor yankee open his eyes still wider. and finding that they had taken all, thought it was carrying ‘8 joke a little too far. so he gave intorma- tion to the police and during yesterday morning ofl- cera McManus, Munson, and Crasson, arrested Misr Louira, James Travers, and & young woman called M ‘Spencer, on the charge of stealing the money.

Robbery in the Rigging of a Ship.—A very funny | scene took place yesterday before Justice Timpson, at | the police court, Tombs, by the introduction of two small tarry lecged sailor boys, one fourteen and the other seventeen years of age, by the names of James Almack and John Allenby, both apprentices on bo: of the stcamehip Sarah Sands. These two small boys | were arrested by officer Leland, one of the tallest men in the department, standing over six fect, and as he | | brought them in by the bands, they looked scared and | | the cfticer looked pleased, making quite a comical con- | trast, They were charged in the warrant with a rob- bery, under the following circumstances :—It appears that on Thurrday afternoon, about four o'clock, a boy about their own age, by the name of Isaac Cireenvault, residing at No, 112 Stanton strect, went on board the | ay Sarah Sands, while lying at the dock. and after ing through the cabins he thought he would try | Joo! | bishandeon therigging, and tev how the deck would | | look on a bird’r-eye view from aloft—so np my gentle- | | man strides from shrond to shroud until he got pretty | well up, and while in that position the two boys above mentioned spied him up aloft.and immediately thought they would havea lark; and np they started, taking Pith them a pleoe oftope, and before the green horn: | had timo to descend or imagine what they were doing, they had both, bis legs Inshed fast to the rigging” ‘The boy begged and prayed to be let loose, but no Was the answer,“ not until you pay 26 cents to treat, and pay your footing,” was the reply, The boy not having the monoy with him to pay the treat, offered @ small gold finger ripg. valued at CO cents, as collateral security | until he went home to get the money, which he pro- mired to do and come back the next morning, pay the , quarter andiedeem his ring Instead of dong 10, | however, he thought he would rua the rig on them this time, as the day before the “ rigging” appeared to be allon ‘one ride; aod, wishing to equalize the same, he epplicd to Justice Timpson, who, on hearing the case, sued his warrant for their arrest. The case, on Leing invested proved to have heen only a joke, «uch as are frequently played on board ships, especially to | those who trespars om board without permission ; therefore, the magistrate dismissed the charge of lar: | eeny.endtoek ball for their future good e¢onduet. | ‘This bail the captain of the ship entered, and the boys | were allowed to go, having learneda good lesson mot to | Jash any more boys up inthe ships’ rigging while ly- | ing in dock, Extensive ond Bold Burglory.—The residenee of Mr. Reymond Tyson, situated nvar the Sailor's Snug Har- bei, on Staten Island, was barglariously entered on Wednesday night, by seme daring burglars, who com- | Jy rantacked the whole house without waking or | rming any of the sleeping immates, carrying off the following property :—one gold lever wateh and chain No, 65,43, Dubois, maker, gold face ; one gold chain al; wbiue cloth plaid hore blanket, worth $9 two black over coats; one black summer coat ; five | ted quilts, worth $40; two pillows; one plaid long shawl; one blee mantila, braided ; one plece of drug- gets six Indien’ drerren, silk and mousline de laine; oxe block and white plaid clook ; one bine and red | Menket ehawl ; RW. one gold rgo silver spoons; one small Alesticks ; two dozen pair of stock- , new.
