Opinions of the Press in Regard to the Result. PUE GENERAL STAMPEDE, de. &e. Be, [Prem the Tribune (Seward whig) Nov. 3 The immense aud unprecidenied majorities fer | @e Pierce and King electors in this city, Baltimors, Detroit, Ko , leave no doubt of the signal defeat of Gen Seott and the whig party. We write at awaiting the returnt from * the rorol districts,” save a few soattering townships, in which the yore does | ROt correrpond with that in the citire: but the gea- result is certain. Franklin Pierce is chosen President, and William R King Vice-President of the United States, and we presume by ® very large ) majority. - We have earnestly and faithfully-labored to avert this result. Believing that the ideas of peliti economy and of the legitimate sphere and duti goverpment eberishe the candidates now umphant are unsound and pernicious, we have done al} that we could honorably do to defeat them. We have endeavored from the outset to make the eon- test turn on the great questions of principle and poii- ey which radically separate the two parties, and to win votes for Scott and Graham by presenting them as the friends of protection to home industry, river and harbor improvemonts, and that general | system of policy whion 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 eonguest and territorial expansion. In this aim we have been bated. Hundreds of thousands who agree with us on every great iseze involved in this contest, have seen fit to vote for the antag altegether. Throughout the States aud districts where protection to home industry is popular, it has been vehemently insisted that that question nothing to do with this canvass. where river and harbor improvement is universally desired, that questien was in like manner protested @s not now at issue. And while nearly or quite every slave State has voted inst Gen. Scott as anti-slavery candidate, Ohio and other States havo been repelled from his support by representations that he and Pierce were alike pledg- = and bound to subserve in al) things the uses of wery. Jt is but just to the successful candidates te ab- folye them from any active part in the double deal- ing whereby they have largely profited. No Kane lettor swindle stains the compiexion of their triumph. Both of them have been— (Gen. Piercs for twenty years and Col. King fer a much longer period—un- aivocal and consistent disciples of that political | school which denios the constitutional power of the government io protect industry, or to inm- prove rivers and harbors, aud which esteems the perpetuation and fortification of human slavery a@s.a chief end of the federal Union. vote, no public act of theirs, has this faith ever been contravened, and in the very few in- stances wherein Gen. Pierce has used the language of freedom, it wes only that be might thereby sub- serve more effectually the uses of slavery. to pursue that course which their inclination Prempts, and to which no one has any plausible claim to interposs an objection. With many of their leading supporters the care is different, as also with their most effective auxiliaries uuder the lead of Giddings, who have deluded thousands into @ belief that the whig party has ceased to be whig im principle, so that the questions of protection and internal improvement have ceased to be party issues. But wo must do justice to these another time. The mejority in our city, and we presume in | other ei: also, is not all honest. That in the Eleventh ward, for instance, is palpably swelled by illegal or double voting. There was not the leas: practieal impediment to the polling of twenty usand illegal votes in this city. At a majority of the polls there was littie challenging, and at many of them any man whose sppearance did not subject him to suspicion voted without question. Not even the residences of the voters were requirod in many districts. Whoever took a fancy to vote twenty times yesterday didso with perfect impu- nity, and may continue to do so at every election until the right of suffrage shall be guarded by a registty of voters. How any man can oppose this Measure who even pretends to any respect fur the purity of cicctions we cannot imagine. But we should have been badly beaten in our city Without illegal voting. Our wealthy and mercan- tile whigs generally 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 band, our opponents, liberally supplied with money, Were very ac’ througheut. They had the bulk ef the importing interest at their back, and the city zeform and temperance alliance di ns opsrat- ing strongly in their favor. They “went into .” and did it, though, we think, they cheated more than was necessary. Cetton went very hard against us. We hoped the men who have been defeating tho whig ty for two or three yoars past, in order to “k ward,” must have finished their job by this time, but they Were at it asbard yosterany « they bad jurt be- =.

It is a verdict of the people p favor of the compromise in all its parts—of the riff of 1846 im its eesential features—and of tho | measures generally of the Sencares is Nery. It isa condemnation of Sewardism, and that class of ultra doctrines which for soveral years pnst have been preached by the Albany Evening Journal, the Wew York Zribune, wud their evil aseociates. The great misfortune of Scott was, that he was brought out and petted by the Seward clique. The people feared that, if elected, he would be too much under | the influence of that dangerous faction, and obli | to distribute among them his largest favors. The | | people would not permit this. Had Mr. Webster or | | Mr. Fillmore been the whig candidate, or had Gen. | Scott been brought forward in a less offensive man- ; (rota clenat 3 te | | | ner, the result might have been different, at least | in degree.

Where else in the wide world, under what other form of government, could the ready acquiescence | which has ever marked the people of this country in the potent judgment of the ballot box be found? At the first election for President, now more than sixty years ago, when Washington, tho Father of the Republic, wes the peoplo’s choice, but ten States yoted, and for his first term there were but sixty- nine electoral votes.

Our then comparatively iimited territory has erpenied from the shores of the Atiantic to the Pa- cil, and from Maine to the Gulf of Mexico.

[Frora the Evening Post. (free soil democrat ) Nov. 8.) The clection of President and Vice President has resulted in # manoer conformable to the expecta- tion which we have all along entertained, though the majorities for the democratic candidates kaye, in some instances, execeded the estimate upon which we had fixed.

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 degision without mur. mur, thongh not without disappointment. The fiat is gone forth that the administration of tho federal aud State and city governments is to be demoveatic. Not even Governor Hunt’s popularity could with- sland the gencral overthrow, and there is no doubt that he is defeated by some thousands, though he ran ahead of whig tickot. In the city we have lost ali except one mem- ber of Assembly and two Asistant Aldermen, un- less it should prove that Mr. Hoffman is elected Counsel to the Corporation, of which, however, a+ this present writing, there is but a very faint hope— a possibility. Our admission that we aro sates ‘e merely reserve to ourselves the right modestly to doubt the wisdom of the popular choice, and pa- tiently to wait until the people discover their error— as discover it re believe they will, sooner or later. This is not the time to inquire into the proximate causes of such a defeat. They are ideed talocabty syaeiaees and cannot fail to occur to even the least observant of politicians. We pas them by at pre- Sel ere remarking that ae avecping defeat of all shades of whigs may possil y toa better understanding all roun We bopo it may, for the lesson is a severe one, and we need the hope of its being useful to support us under ite infliction. the meantime, our democratic friends will have an opportunity ef showing how wisely and how well they can use a groat victory, 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 vernm ican. the fact that it is American and repu! the gentlemen whose ** addresses” Asto fave been *‘re- jected” by the fair public, we suppose their sorrow | at failure will bear some proportion to the ardor of | Part, their wooing; but we do not deem it probable that | any of them will feel suicidally inclined because of the los€ of their suit. ate ere sensible gentlemen, | aud most bkely are, at this very hour, pursuing their ordinary avocations, with no breath to spare for sivbing, aucl no time for tears.

[From the Philadelphia North American, Nev. 3.} Our retarns from all of the Union, though imperfect, are sufficiently significant to indicate tho el mn of Gen. Franklin Pierce.

The Proposed Broadway Ratlroad. The committee of the Board of Aldermen, appointed to concider of the proposition for a railroad in Broadway, met again yesterday afternoon. Mr. Lockwood moved that the inquiry be adjourned to Friday; but after a short conversation with Alderman Sturtevant, he waived bis motion, and went on with his argument against the railroad. THe entered at great length into the question, and in the course of his arguments he observed that he never heard of such an important inquiry as the present, being conducted before a parliamentary committee with- out witneeses being called in sapport of the asseverations, und the general arguments which were used by tho pro- the republicthat Mr. Pierce is chosen, than if Genera!

Especially | do we regret the ,election of a gentleman for Go- | vernor of this State, who is opposed to the policy of | canal enlargement, and is reputed to have promised | favor to those engaged in enti-rentoutrages. Never- | theless, taking oflice by virtue of so unequivocal a | popular choice, they are entitled to the fullest moa- ture of respect attaching to their roapective oflises, | and factious oppocition to their respective admuis- trations would be highly indecorous.

With twenty-five of the thirty-one States siceady in their possesion, and with the | additional incentive of foderal patronage to stimu- | late the democracy, what honest reason could pos- sibly be aesigned to excourage a hope for Gen.

The simple statement of the case carried a conviction of deteat to the heart of every candid men, They who counted on the personal popu- larity of Scott to overcome the odds against him, trusted to an eloment that did not exist, as the end bas sufficiently proved. And eo far as bis military character was concerned, that combustible flame went out with Gen.Taylor. The drum and fife drama would not bear rehearsal. And then the barren speeches and zig-zag travels of Gen.

The gold mining and exportation has also another very heavy expense, and that is—it, avd all other exportatious from that region, are conveyed some three hundred miles by land carriage, to the port of f silver, on the au‘bority of John Reed, of Ed- inburg, who was sent out to fill the post of I or General of the Potosi mines, and has dod there some thirty years, we can say, the silver mines of Bolivia are very extensive, and they would be much moro generally worked if fuel for the smelting process were not so scarce. Tho fact is, the whole first range of the Andes, the table land and the west slopo of the seeond range, are al- 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- 1a. In that vicinity timber is a little more plentie ful than in almost any other mining district, hence there is greater facility in the production of the tin, avd a large export.

The oxpdrts of the 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, is adopted, viz: the navigation of the rivers Beri, Branco and Marmora, ‘These rivers are the head waters of the Madera, the Jargeet southern branch of the Amazon, the navigation ot which would open a communication from the interior ot Bolivia to the Atlantic. Hitherto the republic of Bo- livia bas been almost i-olated from the commoree of the world, though poreersed of natural resource to an un- Virtually debarred from the Pacific, it required litle ragacity to see her only commersial com- ication must be with the Atlantic, the had ports on the Pacific, and ware not do~, tou Peru for the license ef export, how few arti- f general commeres would pay the transit of from, one hundred to two hundred leagues land carriage, over | the double range of the Amdes, with ile intermediate land. ‘Other cireumstences tend also to direct their ‘attention to ap eastern communication—the finest elimate and the most fertile soil are in that direction ; whereas the ragved sieps of the Andes and tis cold tabte lands, almost enttreiy destitute of vegetation, must cver present insurmounta- ble obstacles to western tranait, Different commissions of exploration have examined the rivers Beni, Branco, and Marmora There are, it is true, seme difficulties—but not co great es previously anticiptted, Those formerly laid dowm as the cataracts of Madera, are more rapiis, and wi ered by a eebconer in April last, which sailed frou Pere at the mouth of the Ainszon. and came within twenty lovgues of Cochabamba. ‘The Bent has several ra- pids, but the commicrioners ace of opinion that with slight expenre of hissting the tedges constivating those impediments. they may be obviated--otberwise the stream js large and deep and goes much nearer to Le Pas, the commercial emporium than any other river.
