Believing that the ideas of pelitical economy and of the legitimate sphere and duties of government eberished by the candidates now tri- umphant are unsound and pernicious, we have done al} shat we could honorably do to defeat them. We have endeayored from the outset to make the eon- test turn on the great questions of principle and poli- ey which radically separate the two pai , and to win votes for Scott and Graham by presenting thom as the friends of protection to home industry, river and harbor improvements, and that general system of policy whiok regards industry as a legiti- wate subject of national concern, and would direct the energies of a free people rather to internal im- provement and peaceful developement than to foreign jest and territorial expansion. In this aim we have been baffled thousands who agree with us on every great issue involved in this contest, have seen fit to vote for the antagonist candidates, or from voting “labored to avert altegether. Throughout the States aud districts where protection to home industry is popular, it been vehemently insisted that that question had nothing to do with this eanvass. In other sections, where river and harbor improvement is perv desired, that questien was in like manuer protest! as not now at issue. And while nearly or quite every slave State has voted against (7en.

How eny man can oppose this Measure who even pretends to any respect for the parity of elections we cannot imagine. But we should have been badly beaten in our city without illegal voting. Our wealthy and mercan- tile whigs gencraily kept away from the polls, or took little interest in the election Many who came either voted the dead “union” ticket or else re- frained from voting for any electors. On the other hand, our opponente, liberally supplied with money, were very active throughout. They had tho bu’ of the importing interest at their back, and the city xeform and temperance alliance diversions opsrat- = preaely in their favor. They “went in to 2” and did it, though, we think, they cheated more than was nececsary. Cetton went very hard against us.

[Erora the Evening Post. (free soil democrat ) Noy. 2.} The election of President and Vice President has resulted in « manner conformable to the expecta- tion which we have all along entertained, though the majorities for the democratic candidates have, in some instances, exceeded the estimate upon which we had fixed. Tho popular current which has run so strong and so irresistibiy in favor of these candi- datee, has carried everything with it. Candidates fer loca) offices, prevented under circamstances which, on ordinary oecesions, would have rendered their election impossible, have been tuken up by the swell of this mighty t and swept into their posts with an ease which has astonished even their par- tisans.

On this point we bave much to vay, Sor which we have not space at present. From the Commercial Advertiser, (whig ) Nov. 3) be worst enemy of the whig party could not wish that party a more thorough defeat than that ef yesterday In city, county, State are everwhelmed by democratic ma’ extent that perhaps scarcely any one anticipated, and fer which we certainly were no: prepared. How- | ever, it is the decision of the people, spoken witha voice that entitles it to prompt and cheerful recog- nition, and we bow to that depision without mur mur, though not without disappointment. The fiat is gone forth that the administration of tho federal and State and city governments is to be demozeatic. Not even Governor Hunt's popularity could with- sland the general overthrow, and there is no doubt that he is defeated by some thousands, though he ran ahead of whig ticket. In the city we have lost ali except one mem- ber of Assembly and two Asistant Aldermen, un- Jess it should prove that Mr. Hoffman is elected Counsel to the Corperation, of which, however, a+ this present writing, there is but a very faint hope— a possibility. Our admission that we are defeated is about as unequivocal as the defeat itself. We merely reserve to ourselves the right modestly to doubt the wisdom of the po, pular choice, and pa- tiently to wait until the people discover their error— as discover it & @ believe they will, sooner or later. | _ This is not the time to inquire into She Fro | causes of such a defeat. They are indeed tolerably | apparent and cannot fail to occur to even the least observant of politicians. We pass them by at pre- sent, merely remarking that this awee all shades of Mee et ns I understanding all round. We bopo it may, for the losson is a severe one, and we need the hope of its being useful to support us under ita infliction. the meantime, our democratic friends will have an opportunity ef showing how wisely and how well they can use a groat reir, and wield the sceptre of government ; and the whigs will have the delectable alternative of showing wich what in- effable good humor they can bear a great defeat, and forget the political hue of the government in the fact that itis American and republican. As to | the gentlemen whose ‘ addresses” have been *‘re- | jected” by the fair public, we suppose their sorrow | at failure will bear some proportion to the ardor of nd Union, we g defeat of toa better | their wooing ; but we do not deem it probabie that | any of them will feel suicidally inclined because of | the losS of their suit. They are sensible gentiemen, | aud most likely are, at this very hour, pursuing | their ordinary avocations, with no breath to spare | for sighing, anc no time for tears. The whig mem- | ber ef Aseemb}y from the Thirteenth district—Mr. Wm. Tayler, of the Pifteenth ward—must at least | feel more lonely than his fellow whig candidates, | | seeing that he is the ‘‘lone star” that has uprisen | from the confusion of the political elements in thi: | city, to illumine the State Legislature. He is a good whig, however, aud may be trusted to go alone —as unfortunately he will have to do, so far as tuis | city is concerned, when the Legislature assembles. f course, we regret the result. Our opinions of the cy poaes candidates have been frequently and | frankly expressed. They wore deliberately formed; and are unchanged. We believe it to be woreo for the republicthat Mr. Pierce is chosen, than if | General! Scott had been chosen. In aptitude for the | office they do not admit of comperison. Especially do we regret the ,election of a gentleman for Go- yernor of this State, who is opposed to the policy of favor to those engaged in suti-rentoutrages. Nover- theless, taking oflice by virtue of 80 unequivecal a popular choice, they are entitled to the fullest moa- eure of respect attaching to their respective offizes, | and factious opposition to their respective admuis- trations would be highly indecorous. In opposition | to their policy, this and other whig journals will ne- | cessarily stand, because the principles that will govern that poliey will be antagonistic to ours; but we thall follow the golden rule, even in political eng and £0 conduct such opposition as we | would ve democratic presses conduct it were the prospective administrations whig by as large & popwar voto as they are demooratic. We shall recognire the msjority of the people in the govern- ment. | {From the Evening Mirrer, Noy. 3 } Since the fatal moment of Soott’s nomination at Baltimore, we have never had a doubt of his defeat; ; but the deluge is more overwhelming than the most fapguine cemocrat predicted, or the most timid whig feared: It required only an exorcise of the simplest aritbwetic, with the most ordinary know- kedge of boman vatare, to foresee the inevitable reealt; and they must be either very ignorant or very dishonest men, who have persisted in the con- trary opinion. With twenty-five of the thirty-one Statee siveady in their possession, and wit! late the democracy, what honest reason could pos- sibly be assigned to excourage a hope for Gen. Scott 2? Tho simple statement of the case carried a conviction of deteat to the heart of every caudid men. They who counted on the personal popu- larity of Scott to overcome the odds against him, trusted to an cloment that did not exist, as the end bas sufficiently proved. And eo far as his military choracter was concerned, that combustible flame went out with Gen.Teylor. The dram and fife drama would not bear rehearsal.

[From the Philadelphia North American, Nev. 3.} Our returns from all of the Union, though imperfect, are sufficiently significant to indicate the election of Gen. Franklin Pierce. Under the circumstances of this defeat, we. are not disposed to enter into any examination of the causes which pro- duced this untoward result—a result, in our opinion, more unfortunate for the country than — [agi event which has befallen us for years. Neither are we inclined to speculate upon the eo: juences like- to grow out of the defeat of the whig party. Re- leotions suponeae to the occasion may be better indulged w! the smoke of the battle has cleared away,and when, in the of considerate con- templation, the future may be scanned with more Giscretion and knowledge.

Conseious of having discharged our duty faithful- ly and zealously, we feel no part of the heavy re- sponsibility which devolves upon those who, under false prejudices and mistaken notions, have contri- buted to place the government in possession of a party avowing a policy which, if pursued, must in- | evitably be attended with the most serious, if not | fatal, consequences to the peace and prosperity of tho republic.

Tho fact is, the whole first range of the Andes, the table land and the west slopo of the seeond range, are ale most entirely without timber, and the eouutry cast. of that is unexplored. Asallthe smelting is done by foundries, requiring wood fuel, the working of the mines is thereby much limited. Of the tin mines, the most profitable are at Oru- ra. In that vicinity timber is a little more plenti- ful than in almost any other mining district, honce there is greater facility in the production of the tin, avd a Jarge export. La Cuscariila, (Peruvian bark) one of the most important products of the country, pays a duty of cuttirg. Notwithstancing this duty, the exporta- tion has been so great of late years, ‘that Co’ bteen monthsago,which tool effoct about a year since, prohibiting any further cutting for five years.

Coffee has only been exported in samples. It ig stated to be equal to the best Mocha, and were not the land carriage co expensive, it would bea vory profitable article of exportation. 2 Cotton is exported about as coffee, for specimens.

To-day, we are favored with @ communication setting forth the extent and locality of her productions, and the advantages which she orsesses. As our correspondent states, the “draw- ack” of Bolivia has heretofore been her lack of ap- preciationof herself. This is the case with most of the South American States—but with none other sq much as Bolivia. : It will be observed, that the writer of the com- munication we annex expresses the t that the American exploring expedition under Lieut. Hern- den, had not taken a different course from the one first marked out. He was not aware that Licut. Gibbon (as the account published by us in’ July declares) was directed, in case of failure on tho river Purusg, to explore the Marmora, some hundrod miles distant from the latter, and the ing a river mentioned by our correspondent, Mr. Perkins.

Mn, Epiror— Tiaving noticed an article in your paper, afew diye tinge, on the subject of the exports of Arica, in Bolivia, I dosire to cull the attention of your readers to a fumthor consideration of Bolivian commercial mn. ‘The exports of tho port of Arica are deserving of our consideration, mot merely for their present value, but as an indication of what Bolivia may be, if the policy which her enlightened statesmen are carnestly striving to put fn execution, ia adopted, viz: the navigation of the rivers Beri, Brenco and Marmora, ‘These rivers are the head waters of the Madera, the largest southern branch of the Amazon, the navigation of which would open a communication from the interior of Bolivia to the Atlantic. Hitherto the republic of Bo- livia has been almost ivclated from the commoree of tho world, though poreessed of natural resource to an un- limited extent. Virtually debarred from the Pacific, it required little ragacity to nee her only commersial com- munication saust be with the Atlantic, Tiven if she had ports on the Pacific, and ware not des. pendent on Pern for the license ef export, how few arti- cles of general commeres would pay the transit of from one buudred to two hundved leagues land carriage, over the double range of the Amdes, with ils intermediate table land. ‘ ‘Other cizcumstences tend also to direct their ‘attention to ap eastern communication—<the finest elimate and the most fertile soil are in that direction ; whereas the ragged steps of the Andes and iis cold table innds, almost entirely destitute of vegetation, must cver present insurmounta- ble obstacles to western transit, Different commissions of exploration have examined the rivers Beni, Branco, . and Marmora There are, it is true, some difficulties—but not co great ea previously anticipated, Thove formeriy laid down aa the cataracts of Madera, are more rapiti, and were crosred by a sebconer in April last, which sailed from¥ara at the mouth of the Amazon, and came withia twenty leagues cf Cochabamba, ‘The Beni has several ra~ pids, but the commissioners are of opinion that with slight cxpenre of bissting the ledges constituting these impediments. they may be obviated--otherwise the stream ie large and deep and goes much nearer to Le Par, the commercial emporium: than any other river.
