For the convenience of our readers, at the ensuing election, and in conformity with the plan we pur- sued in this paper four years ago, viz, in 1548, (when we gave copious tables of the Presidential election in 1844,) we publish in this day’s Henatp ‘the election returns for President, in all the States, by eounties, at the last Presidential election, viz., Movember, 1848. The tables now given have been | prepared with great care for the HERALD; and the counties being arranged alphabetically, will be found far more convenient for reference than any | other collection of tables yet published, whether in almanacs or otherwise We alzo append a table of the majorities or pluralities for Taylor and Cass, re- spectively, in the different States, and give various other information which will be much sought after next week. The News. To-day, the remains of Mr. Webster will be laid in the tomb at Marshficld. On reference to the matter in another page, it will be seen that the day | will be generally observed as one of mourning, in | the principal cities of the country. By telegraph from New Orleans, we learn that the steamship Falcon has arrived at that port, with two weeks’ later advices from California and the Isthmus of Panama? Though our synopsis of the news brought by this arrival is very short, it will be found exceedingly interesting. Everything appears to be working most prosperously in our new State on the Pacific, as evidence of which we notice that the markets were firm, the accounts from the mines were | favorable, and aia recent sale of real estate in San Francisco, prices realized fifty per cent more than | was expected. It seems that our California breth- ren are determined to carry out the purport of the ecmpromise measures to the letter—they having already arrested and returned several fugitive slaves to their owners, since the decision in the Supreme Court in that district. Butter is quoted im the San Francisco market at 50 cents per lb. Ia New York it cannot be bought for less than 30 and 36 cents--notwithstanding which an immense quantity is shipped from this port to the Pasific side. The Falcon makes the agreeable announce- ment that the Georgia may be expected here to- day or to-morrow, with one million of the precious dust on freight, and three hundred passengers. On reference to our telegraphic despatches, it will be seen that the democrats, whigs and free soilers are all remarkably busy in the interior of this State. Jobn Van Buren yesterday stopped a few hours at | Syracuse, and addressed a large gathering of en thusiastic democrats. Senator Cooper is reported to have addressed a very large whig assemblage at Valley Forge, Pa., yesterday. A delegation of three thousand persons is eaid to have been in attendance from Philadel- phia. The party mustered strongly for the occa- sion, it being the last demonstration of the kind | that they will be likely to make for some time to come. The official majority of the democratic candidate for Governor in Indiana, is twenty thousand and thirty-one, and yet some ef the Scott journals throughout the country persist in setting down that State as doubtful.” Gan t have any other ob- ject in view than thatof misleading their own fiends ? In consequence of the illness of the Hon. John P. Hale, the meeting of the free democacy, which was to have been held yerterday evening, at the Chi- nese Assembly rooms, did not come off. There were about fifty persons collected on the steps leading to the hall of thie building, but on the announcement being made that no meeting would take place, they | diepersed. The telegraph announces that the steamship Niagara reached Boston ehortly before four o'clock | yesterday afternoon—too late to send on her mails | by the evening train. They will arrive here this | afternoon. | On the arrival of Mr. Lawronce, the late Ameriean | Minister to England, in Boston last evening, he was welcomed by a large number of his friends—but no ostentatious display was made, out of respect to the memory of Mr. Webster. A despatch from the West, states that a most foul triple murder was recently committed on board a trading boat, near Troy, Indiana. The bodies of the , three victims, in a horribly mutilated condition, , were found at the bottom of the river, having been sunken by heavy weights. The receipts of cotton at New Orleans up to _ Wednesday last, amounted to seventy six thousand bales more than wes brought in up to the same time last year. The ship Hoogly and bark Antelope were totally Jort last August, in the vicinity of Shanghai, Chiaa. Both veesele were owned and insured in Boston. The former was worth sixty thousand dollars. Twenty-five buildings were consumed by fire ia Troy yesterday. The property destroyed is esti- mated to have been worth between forty and fifty thousand dollars. Forty thoutand persons are estimated to have been in attendance at the Maryland State Fair yes terdsy. The holding of these fairs, of late years, has certainly givon a great impetus to the agri- cultural, mechanical and manufacturing interests of the country. They have given an incentive to ox- ertion, and aseisted in bringing out talent to adegree , hitherto unparalleled. An eastern company has entere] into a contract to build # short line railroad from Cincinvati to Day ton, Obfo, for the mum of $1,770,000. While tho enterprising people of the West are thus ously pushing ahead in tho railroad line inhabitants of the Canadian provinces are par- fectirg their plans for jiamprovements of the same kind, upon an extensive scale. A des- petch from St John states that the Now Bruns- Wich Legislotuse have coulirmed the contract for = a ee | “fuss and feathers,” the great Burcpeen and North American rai?” an overwhelming vote. The New Brun yg Nova Sootians expect to derive 40) savantages from the completion of this" og, owing to the fact ‘hat it will bring ther, in comparative close prox- imity to the “ow York markets. Contrs”y to expectation, the law courts will be opened to-day, with the exception of the second part of the Superior trial term, which Judge Paine has adjourned, in consequence of the obsequies of Hon. Daniel Webster. In the general term of the Supreme Court, Sullivan and Clark, the murderers, will be brought up fer re-eentence: but it is thought this Court, and the others, will immediately ad- journ, in honor of the illustrious dead. In another column will be found an address do- livered by the Hon. Thomas H. Benton, at a meet- ing of the democrats of St. Louis, held in that city on the 16th instant. Holding to the principle that “it is never too late to do good,” it will be seen that Mr. Benton hasat last come boldly out in favor of General Pierce for the Presidency, and says that ashe isa good democrat, and comes from a good stock, he is, consequently, a good candidate, and will receive double the majority in St. Louis that Was given at the August election for himself as candidate for Congress. Our advertising patrons are crow-ling our space to such an extent that we have no room left for special reference to many telegraphic despatches, as well as much local, political, and miscellaneous intelli- gence. After the election excitement is fairly over, | we hope to have more room for miscellaneous read- | ing. The Campaign—Review of the Field—The Prospect. On Tuesday next, the people of tho United States will wind vp the canvass of, 1852, in the election of Electors for the election of a President and Vice Pre- sident of the United States. We rejoice with the public that the trouble will now so soon be over. The second day of November will settle the whole question; and before daylight of the third, witk good weather, we ehall know which side is up and which side down. The heavy work of the campaign is done. The merits of the two principal candidates have been amply discussed—their acts and writings, and speeches, and principles and opinions, good, bad and indifferent, have been thoroughly canvassed; and all the musty records and traditions, and ru- mors, of the last hundred years, have been dragged to light, for purposes of adulation or abuze. The country has been deluged with documents from'the two central committecs at Washington; and if half the accusations which Truman Smith & Co., or A. G. Penn & Co, have promulgated for the informa- tion of the dear people, were true, neither General Pierce nor General Scott would be entitled to a higher degree of public confidence than the peniten. tiary. The newspapers have teemed with the most atrocious doggerel which was ever inflicted upon the | public—the most abominable stuff and balderdash which has ever disgraced the muse of political fus. tian. Committees of vigilance and of enrolment, and all sorts of party clubs and cliques, have been working like sappers and miners, te undermine cach other, and blow each other up—the land has | swarmed with stump speakers and electionecring missionaries, among whom General Scott, in his late Blue Lick expedition, moved like Gulliver among the pigmies—fighting the newspapers as Don Quixotte fought the wind-mills ; charming the fiery Greeks with his love of that “rich frish brogue ;” winning the High Datch and the Low Dutch with his partiality for the vernacular of Vaterland ; sharing the hospitalities of W. H Se- ward; carrying the war through the Jerseys in a sin- gle day, and astounding with admiration evon the Philadelphia Quakers with his warlike e!oquence. The pamphlet factory of the Fourrierite establish- ment of Nassau street has diffused by thousands, for cash, its precious tracts of “‘ Why Iam a Whig,” | “The Miseries of Ireland,’”? Robinson’s prepoate- rons mass of trash on ‘‘ New Hampshire and tho Catholic question,” the counterfeit ‘* Irishman,” and the “ Pictorial Life,” representing Gen. Scott galloping over heaps of slaughtered men, and rioting in blocd and carnage. Mass meetings have been the order of the day and the order of the night, and transparencies and torch-light processions have wakened the early eleeper with their clamor, their brilliancy, and their all-pervading smell of tar and turpentine. In the meantime, the independent movements of the Webster men in Georgia, North Carolina, Phila- delphia, New York and Massachusetts; of the State rights men of the extreme South; of the great free coil party, with their ticket of Hale and Julian ; of the Gerrit Smith and Fred Douglas party; of the so called industrial societies; of the Women’s righte agsociations, and what not, have given pith and pungency, confusion and complexity, bi es and claws, to the general wrangling of the campaign. The move- ments of the two regular armies have been all the more interesting from their constant annoyances by the guerrilla parties dodging about among the chapparal. The questions chiefly discussed in the party press have been Gen. Scott’s native Americanism, and the battle of Lundy’s Lane; Gen. Pierce’s coward- ice in battle, as proved by his fainting when his horse fell upon him; his bad position on the Ca- tholic question, from having been born in New Hampehire, and his treachery to the South, in having defeated the election of an abolition candi- date for Governor. Woe have also had protection on Pennsylvania iron, and British allies, rivers and harbors, women’s rights, slavery and abolition, Cuba and Canada, soup, and, finally, a perfect gold placer for the newspapers, in the philanthropic tour of Gen. Scott to the Blue Licks, at the public ex- pense, for the benefit of the poor old soldiers of the regular army. Such have been some of the most prominent fea’ures, movements and transactions of the campaign. And yet, notwithstanding all this turmoil and fury, and “noise and confusion,” and wriggling ana twisting, and clamor and clap trap of the politi- cians, and their committees, and documents, and stumpers, and doggerel, and mass meetings, and processions, the great American people have beon wonderfully self possessed, quiet, orderly, and im- moveable; they have shown, in a very striking de- gree, that gunpowder, bombs, guns, drums, bomb- shells, and ‘‘furs and feathers,” have become a drag inthe market. We have had none of the magnifi- cent carnival scenes of 1840, with strings of log- cabins and chicken coops, and canoes on wheels, and cider barrels, and barrels of hard cider, and trces borne aloft with their branches full of rac- cvons and possums, and troops of young girls all in white, in trlumpbal care, singing the songs of | “Tippecanoe and Tyler too,” and clustere of men covered with the skins of wild beasts, like satyre, | and horees, and oxen, aud aeves, and mules, ¢: with evergreens, bing elong the bi of the rural d ta for miles and miles | wonder of the ol the children.

That of 1840 was the ebb» out so low asto leave vast quantitics and other shellfish and marine animals high and dry. In 1844, it returned, a regular spring tide, overflowing the docks; in 1343 it ran out again, leaving the naked sea shores bleaching and drying in the sun. So, now, in 1852, itis coming back with increased volume and mo- mentum, under a stiff south wicd, and ere long whole squadrons of every sort of craft in the offing, spreading their sails to tho breeze and borne upon the swelling waver, will ride up into port. Ina word, if the figures of the late State elections mean anything, they signify a defeat to General Scott scarcely less decisive than that of Van Buren in 1840—a real Waterloo defeat, horse, foo', dragoons, eappers and miners, soup kettle and all. That result, if realized, will be due mainly to tho Seward-Fourrierite- abolition wing of the Northern whig party, and to the fact that General Scott is their man, their nominee, and likely (as was tho case with General Taylor) to be made their instru ment in the event of his election. It will be due to the sacrifice of Fillmore and Webster, because of their course on the compromise, and their adhesion to the rights of the South, which the South will doubtless remember on clection day. It will bo due, especially, to the contemptuous treatment of Mr. Webster's claims by the Whig Convention and the Seward organs. It will be to the disregard of the dying wishes of Henry Clay, and partly duo to tiat unfortunate letter which the lamented statesman of Marshfield was required to sigu up- on his death-bed, but ‘‘never signed.” It will be due to General Scott’s native American heresies, notwith:tanding his late assurances of his repont- ance, and the surprising partiality he has acquired for the ‘‘brogue.” It will bedue to General Scott’s platform. It will be due to the timid, shrinking po- licy of the whigs, and the progressive, expansive, comprehensive and go-ahead policy of the democrats. Tt will be due to the practical civil qualifications of General Pierce, and the deficiency of General Scott in those qualifications. It will be due, to some ex- tent, to the independent press, as contra-distin- guished from the mere party press; but, above all, the defeat of General Scott—as we doubt uot he will be overwhelmingly defeated—will be due to the in- stinctive andsound judgment and discrimination of the American people. In any event, we can abide by the will of the people. The Irish Vote. In all former Presidential eloctions great efforts have been made to obtain the Irish vote, and all torts of ingenious devices have been resried to for that purpose. But never has so much trickery and fraud been put in requisition as during the present campaign, which is now fast drawing to its close. Among our naturalized citizens the Irish constitute by far the largest and most important clement of | strepgth. They number more than double all other citizens of foreign birth ; and just in proportion to the power and influence they possess, in inclining the scale of victory to one side or the other, have | their votes been greedily sought by both parties, but | chiefly by the whig leaders. They have been cajoled and flattered in every shape and form. Their very | defects, whether of education or otherwise, have been praised as virtues; and even “‘the brogue” on | their tongue General Scott himself has not diadain- ed to eulogize as ‘‘rich” and delightful—the very quintescence of music itself. The Irish, who are not very easily gulled in politics, laugh at all this transparent humbug; and we are confident it has | not succeeded in winning, throughout the leagth and breadth of the land, half a dozen votes. It is well known that the Irish are, for the most part, Catholics, and that they are deeply attached to their religion. This was deemed a good string to harp upon—a chord that might be touched with advantage, vibrating as it does in the deepest recesees of the Irish hoart. Accordingly, a story was invented that Gen. Pierce was hostile to Catholics, and all the accumulated bigotry of the illiveral of New Hampshire was visited upon his devoted head, though it was demonstrated that her most enlightened son did all that lay in his power to have the odious clause in the constitu- tion repealed. Who does the best his circumstance allows, Does well, acts hobly—angel: could no more. But this story was not enough ; they trumpod up. another, bearing on the same point, in reference to the other candidate. They circulated among the Irish Catholics the falsehood that Gen. Scott wasa Catholic. His minister, an Episcopalian clergy- man, refuted it in a letter, which was published in this journal. To such lengths will unscrupulous partisans go to accomplith their objects. But with all these desporate efforts, the Irish, almost toa man, will vote for Gen. Pierce, and not for Gen. Scott, who has placed on record his opin- ion that the Irish are unfit to have a vote till they | are twenty-ono years in the country, or in other words, till the great majority of them are num- bered with the dead ; and he had his doubts if even after such a lapse of time, or at all, they should have any share in making the laws by which they were governed, or in electing the oflvers and magis- trates ordained by the constitution to carry out these laws. All the Irish leaders—all the Irish exiles banished from their home by a persecuting governpment—have either come out in favor of Pierce, or remain silent from delicacy, not being as yet, citizens, while their sympathies and wishes are entirely in favor of the democratic candidate. The only Irish orator on the other side, is a party hack | named Robineon, who bas been brought up in an abolition school from his youth, in New England, and had acquired some litte influence over a certain clase of the Irish by Slievegammonism, which has been all completely usedup. Althougha Protestant, he affects a wonderful zeal for the Catholic religion ; but wherever he goes, Michael Doheny follows in his track, and so shows up the base coin that it can™ not pase current. Conecious that they were without the support or influence of any of the oxiles, they hit upon the expedient of sending out to stump a man named O'Gorman, from Providence; and thoy poseed off this counterfeit as Richard O'Gorman, the distinguished Irish exile. But the cheat has been found out, and has been nailed to the counter, asarap. We happen to know, upon good authori ty, that an enormous sum of money (#0 largo thatit scems almost incredible) was offored to at loaet one of those high-minded Irish exiles who have made this country the home of their adoption, if he would only pursue a certain course; but he indignantly spurned the base proposition. The fuct is, the whigs What is the cause? The Irish race in this country, in common with the Germans and other oppressed nationalities, are democrats, ready made to hand as soon as they land upon our shores. From the cruel persecutions thoy have fuflered from their own goveramen:s—from the oppreetions they have endured at the hands of a land- lord aristocracy—it is as natural for them to hate centralization and aristocracy, in every form, and to espouse tho principles of democracy, as it is for sparks to fly upward, or water, kept down by arti. ficial causes, to rise, when eet free, to the level of its source. The democratic party are the party of progress; and the party at homo who have always resisted the rights and liberties of the Irish race are the conservative, stand still party, opposed to all progress and all re- form. The democratic party are the movement party of the country, who are fired with ambi- tion to extend its arca and its influence by force of arms; and thie exactly suite the military spirit of the Irish race, who, being deprived by tyranny of the use of arms at home, indulge their passion here almost to excess. They long for the opportunity of carrying out tho Monroe doctrine in the case of the Britich possessions on this continent and ita adja cent islands. They burn for the day when Eogiand | shall arise to give the finishing blow. Look at the extraordinary Irish military organization that has sprung up in this city within the last two years. This is an evidence of the feeling that burns in their hearts. It is the demooratic party that fos- ters this sentiment and gives scopo for its opera tion. The Irich are kindred in spirit, and largely even in race, with the democratic party, and they readily and rapidly coalesce with them, becansze they have an affinity, while in the whig party exist elements of repulsion that no amount of hollow humbug and hypocritical adulation can overcome. The ides of November will tell the whole atory of the Irish vote. Geweran Prerce’s Lerrens anp SpEgcues.— Having given to the public, inthe lump, the speeches of General Scott, in his late remarkable historica expedition to the Blue Licks, in Kentucky, in search of a site for @ military hospital, we have deemod it but an act of fairness to give, also, in a collected group, the speeches and letters of General Pierce, epoken and written during tho campaign. He has had few cccasions either for speaking or writing. He has scarcely been outside of the limits of the bailiwick of hislegal practice. He has only written from the force of necessity, and bas only spoken when it couldnot well be avoided. But what hohas done has been well done, whether doliberately or extemporancously. He never makes a fauc pas, and is never caught with his ‘ breeches down.” Ho never flies into a pasion about nothing, nor stoops to bandy the lie with the newspapers. If it could have been arranged so that General Pierce could have accompanied his late senior officer on the trip to the Blue Licks, and go that both at every point on the route could have mounted the stump and held a digcussion on the principles of our gevornment, wo very much fear that the democratic majorities in Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Indiana, in the late elec- tions, would have been larger than they are. But things are well enough as they are. Read the speeches and letters of General Pierce. Mr. BetMonr anv THE Fournteaire Putioso- PHERS.—The quibbling, equivocating, artful dodg- ers of the Tribune office, have been driven to the most pitiful pretext for their refusal to publish Mr. Belmont’s sensible and independent letter. Here is their subterfuge :— Mr. Belmont published o letter in the Satanic Pres’ yesterday, with the statement that we had refused to give it place. That we believe is largely incorrect. Tho letter we declined to publish was enriched by a Belmon- tere attack on Gen. Scott, and therefore was refused. That embellishment does not adorn the document in the | Henaxp, being apparently too strong even for its stomach, Now, we have the authority of Mr. Bolmont, and of Mr. Isaac Townsend, (who accompanied Mr. B. to this office with his letter,) to say that that let. | ter, as it appeared in the Hzra.p, was precisely the letter which the Tribune editor refused to publish. Such are our Fourrierite philosophers. And yet he of the Tribune, in his unwashed Althie | ness, assumes to bo a teacher of decency. Dirt and | brass. Wuat'’s Tre Marrer?—What is the matter with the temper of the Tribune? It seems to have lost its moral balance. On ono page only, he callssome Western man “ a bago, wicked and wanton liar; again, ofanother person, ‘why need | the Binghamton pettifogger lie;” again, “ we brand the Governor of Georgia as a gross falsifior;” | and again, speaking of one of our home orators, “the could fairly assert this only by fairly lying.” We fear it is getting like the old woman, who, after drinking too much cordial, thought all her neighbors were tipsy, and ali the world reeling | around her. Gop 1x Canapa.—On Woinesday laata tall, in- telligent man, direct from Canada, brought to the HERALD office, for our inspection, some large grain- ed gold dust, of the pure virgin gold, ina vial, which he said he had gathered from the Chaudiero river gold district in Canada, some forty miles back of Quebec. The washings and the quartz veins there, over a considerable district already explored, are said fo be very rich. If go, there will soon be lively times in Canada. Personal Intelligence. Among the paseengers In the America, which left Bos- | ton on Wednesday last, we notice the name of Lord Mount Charles. This young gentleman came to this country on the painful mission of endeavoring to find his sister, who came here some time since under very peculiar circumstances; but his efforts have besa fruit- less, and he has been obliged to return to England with- | out her. We understand that be has left instructions with his agent bere, to forward any communication that may be addressed from the young lady, intimating at the same time that it will be favorably entertained, and lead | toa reconeiliation of all parties.

Great Sale of Paintings. ‘The second day's sale of ‘paintings at the Academy of Deeign, Broadway, came off yesterday, under the au‘pices of Mesers, Leeds & Co, Judging from tho inepections made by several parties, it was evident that the company was mainly composed of conno'sseurs in the fine arts, This was further evidenced by the close biddirgs that took place when any picture posseeving merits above the mediocre was put up for sale. At times the competition was quite exciting; but at the same time, though considerable taste was thus manifested: little yeneroeity wae evinced, for in many instances the paintings were knocked down for prices that would hardly pay for the frames, independent of the pictures. Tp order to show our readers the great variety of pic- tures that were sold, end the great yariation of prices, we append a list of the different lots. with the sums for which they were knocked down; and from those prices an idea can be bad of the relative merits of the different ar. ticles :— .

Sy Police Intelligence. THE CAPTAINS OF POLICE AND THE SILVER PITCHER. A day or two ago we noticed a mecting of the Captains of Police, which took place at the Eighth ward station house, Ae the meeting was one of a private nature, it was Smporsible to arrive at the true motives of the “call;’” but from what few facts we picked up at the time, it was suppored that one of the objects of the meeting was to petition the city for more psy and less work to perform, Now, it appears we were In error, and therefore take it ali back ; for, instead of requiring more pay, they are satisfied on that point, but want more employment, in order to keep their minds from wandering into matters that do not legitimately belong to the police depart: ment. They have already commenced a species of ro- form in holding caucus meetings; by way of an afternoon diverticement. some two or three of the captains got up a silver pitcher on the sly, to be presented to the Mayor, and then sent a subseription paper to the other captelns, requesting them to fubscribe their names, snd pay down four dellars towards the payment of the pitcher, the cost of which was estimated at about $60. At the last meeting, much dirsatiefaction was manifested by several of the cap- tal in reference to the high handed measure taken by thore who bad attempted to rule, without consulting the majority, and thore in the minotity have protested against the whole proceedings, and have refused to contribute apy money ior the pitcher. However, the minority por- tion of the captains do not amount to much, and will, no doubt, bo treated as they deeerve, Be that asit may, the pitcher is made, ineeribed, and roady for presentation, snd no doubt his Honor the Mayor will feel much tickled, should he consent to receive it. This evening, between the hours of seven and eight o'clock, the grand affair of preseptation is set down to come off, at the Mayor's residence; a few baskets of the right kind to cheer men’s eouls. is said to be in readiness, in order to give the proper élat to the occasion. We would recom- mend a careful examination of the pitcher by one of the chiefs “sbadowa,”’ a# it was rumored currently yesterds; that it might porsibly contain a false bottom, in whic! may be eecteted certain public documents, left unacted upon for «cme months past. pending againrt members of the police department.
