Returns huvo been received from twenty of the twenty-four Congressional District of Pennsylvania, in which the Whigs have elected !), and the Locos 11 members of Congress, being a WWffgmnof three roombcrs. It is thought that of tho four districts to hear from, Die Whigs will carry throo, which will bo one-half the delegation. A correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing from Harrisburgh, Oct 12, says : As far as the returns hove come in, tho Whi"s have a decided majority in tho Legislature, but fthinlt that completo returns from the whole Stato will show a small majority for tho Locofocos ; although they scoin to givo it up as having gone for tho Whigs. Tho indicotions are, from the returns received, that tho Whig Canal Commissioners are elected. They have generally run abovo the other Whig Candidates, and tho Locofoco nominees below theirs. It is believod that Clark, (Loco,) has been defeated ; but the Counties to come in may chango the present aspect of the result. This glorious result was scarcely anticipated. NEW JERSEY. The election which was held in Now Jorsoy on Tuesday and Wednesday, wo regret to say, has gone airuisttiio Whiirs. In tho Legislature tho Locos have a majority of. C in tho Council, and a majority ot 12 in tno lower House. The Locofocos, therefore, have the Legislature, and consequently tho Governor, who is chosen by tho Legislature. There is no Senator of tho United States to bo chosen. CONGRESS. The Stato is entitled to five members. In the first four districts tho Locofoco candidates were all elected. In tho Fifth District the contest was very exciting. Tho whole interest acorns to havo been centred in the election for Congressman. Mr. Kinney, editor of the Newark Duily Advertiser, was tho regular nominee of the Whig Convention. His opponent was William Wright, also a Whig, but for whom the entire Democratic vote was cast, and who is consequently elected by a majority of 1181. TENTH DISTRICT.

These elections, (savs tho Richmond Whig) prove exactly what wo have always said ; that the majority of the penplo of this Union is Whig) and that if tlii-y havo not carried all tho elections sinco 1840, their failures havo proceeded from apathy. Tho Whigs were disheartened by the trcochory of men whom they had trusted, and did not believe that they could mend matters by any exertion of their own. They therefore stayed at home, when their presence was necessary at tho polls. This is tho tme socret of the much vaunted victories which have been produced, not by their increase of strength, but by the failure of tho Whigs to attend at the pulls, SIGNS OF THE TIMES. Tho Whip of Now York at their recent gatherings in the respectivo wards of tho city, adopted the following resolutions with tho greatest unanimity and enthusiasm: Krtoleed, That our delegates to the Congressional Convention, are hereby instructed to vote lor such porann as a Delegate to tho ll.lt.uH.ro -"nventiou Mis known to he a friend ol IILMlY l.LA., and ui.rorapro,.uii.gly devoted tu his nomination as the Whig candidate for tho Presidency.

They electioneered late and early all over the county, and aomu of the candidates were as many as three or four times in tho samo town-shim.

We havo carried every condiriaie on tho Democratic Whig ticket in Tuscaruwas, and had we the right of equal representation, Joseph Matheny would be a Mombor of the Legislature. To the Whigs who attended the pulls wo are indehtod for this victory Honor to those to whom honor is duo l NEVER DESPOND.. Previous to tho election there were a number of honest intelligent Whigs, who soomcd dispuscd to abundoned to contest in Tuscarawas county, from a belief that tho want of spirit in our party would lead to a defeat of the county ticket Had such men, in nlace of showing ovidenco of despondency, put their shoulder to tho wheel, Tuscarawas might have given double the Whig mijority that is now shown in the returns of tho election. Fear and despondency nevor effected any thing. They are often the forerunners of misfortune, both in public and private life. In politics they help to produce that very defeat, which their possessors are so anxious to avoid. Nothing like confidence of success, and energy of action. Even if you fear the result, never express it The Whigs of the Revolution nevor effected their independence by fenr and trembling. The "go-aluttd" policy waB tho thing that carried them through, and hud it not been for such a spirit among son.o of the Democratic Whigs of the township on last Tuesday, in place of having a respectable majority in Tuscarawas, wo might nave lost some of our candidates. Tuscarawas Advocate. MORGAN CO. REDEEMED VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE I! At last thanks to tho "unbotii'lit untcrrificd, in domitable" Straightouts and Whigs, Morgan has been redeemed, disenthralled, and regenerated. 1 tio majorities will be found below. In our next we shall give an official table, fur the benefit of our readers. We havo clorv enoiifih tur ono day. A boosting, insolent minority has been rebuked rebuked by the very men upon whom they havo heaped every term of scorn, reproach and contempt The "Backhouse" men, the "Bolters,1 and the "lick spittles of Federal-nm,"(as they have been contemptuously termed) havo heaped ennfunon and thume upon their opponents, and established for themselves, in Morgan county, an ascendancy that cannot be moved hereafter, by the combined forces of tho "hard money federalists." The terrified tools of a miserable fuction, who hold their orgies in the stone ollices and move at the nod of Dr. Barker and James M. Gnylord, now feel the withering power ol a long outraged public leeling, and bow their heads in shiiine. How kind, obsequious and humble they aro now ! How tbey lovo some of the dear straight-outs! And how dearly Ihcy cherish straight-out principles! somo of them al ready claim the honor ut hrst promulgating and prop- ogating them! And how they criminate and recriminate among themselves on account of the disas ters that have bel.illcn them. Well, lot it pass! we will not exult over a fallen foe ; but are willing to bury tho hatchet forgot and forgive. Nine long, loud sod hearty cheers however, we must have fur the Independents of Old Morgan!!! Boys, do you hoar that ? Wo have lost a part of our county ticket ; and our opponents must thank the Whigs alone for it Mr. McCarty and Mr. llarklnm would have boon elected, beyond doubt had tho Wings stuck to the Independent ticket Of this thou con bo not a shallow of doubt, and Messrs. Parrish and Rob, should return them a voto of thanks, by cheering and sustaining thoso who deem no epithet too opprobrious to apply to a Whig or straight-out ! A deep and subtle gamo has been played by a part of tho opitosition for two weeks past Finding tho District ticket in dnngcr, they commenced a desperate elfort to save the coun ty ticket trom impending ruin. 1 no grossest snd most unfounoea stories were prnpogated against .Messrs.

On Tuesday, tho Whigs of Butler rallied in the cause of tho people, most inanliilly; and as far as this county was concerned, all went right, but not n.iilo far enough. Wo reduced tho tawofoco ma- ioritr ncarlv a hundred; and bognn to feel certain of ' 1 . :, .. r UL.. ... success, till Uio rciuniB iron, rruo.u n-Huucu when all our prospect were dashed to tho ground. Wo had looked to that county for our support and were litllo prciarcd for the course sho has taken. Wo had more than ovorcomo tho majority of Wei-ler in 1840, though even here wo had not done all that ought tu have done in this county. It is natural for us to enquire after the causes of this defeat; and it may bo well to namo somo that are aonnrrnl. First was the Liberty party's organi sation, that drew oft" a largo number of Whigs in both counties: and lurthor discouraged a great number in the neighborhood where the Liberty movo-ninit was active; and still further, this party made the most successful band of cleclioners sgoinst u for their charge against the Whig party wore re- ganl.'d as conlc-molia. rvext wss uie uivisinn oi mo Wh.o-nartv in I'rehlo. where two candidates were out for tl.o Legislature, and two for the ollico of county treasurer. It wo in Uutler, where the party opposed us in a txillil pinianx, gaincuaiiunoreu, -o nerd not wonder that the Loco should gain 1 10 on us with all tho difficulties we had tu contend with ttinre. These are speculation on tho past. IVow what for the future? Khali wo givo up, or shall wo rally airain, fur next year, and by a more, completo or- iraniutinn conoucr? No ono will protend to sny, that there are not Whigs enough hi this district to elect a Congressman: and all admit that proper management will bring them out Next year there will bo a Coiurressmaii and Senator tu elect well as to vole for President and Vice President Will not Una ho a eullicionl object to rally us.' Wo think it will: and we have no doubt tho Whig will coino up to tho work manfully then. t us then tako Ircsh start, aim como up 10 uio work like men. us spend the coining year in active eiertion for this ono. and success will crown our effort. THE ELECTION. Ii is over, and so far as this county, and tl.o Dis tricts of which it forms a part, aro concerned, tho m.iili i disastrous enoi.eh. Tho Iwo havo car ried all tho county olliceis. This wo were prepared for, and much a we may regret it we aro not di- appointcd. In our I-gislativo ticket wo aro routed, horse, fisit and dragoons! Two Senators and three Ue. presentative are elected, nil liotoftms!! In litis, case, we did hope for a different result but o it is, and wo must bear the defout with as good a grace a possible. Clermont did her duly she reduced the IsKofoco majority more than was really counted on. Hrown counly crowded a little heavier than usual but Clinton fell greatly in tho renr. Her Whig majority, which usually stands at 700 and 00, fell back to about 40 hence our defeat Let not the Whiga of Clermont bo blamed for this tlisastor they cut down the Isico majority over 100 from last falls vote tlieir skirts aro clear! Wo havo lost our Congressman. This wa not unexpected. Tho majority against lis in the District, it really about 500 or 000, yet M'Dowell' ma jority is not half that number, and had it not been r. . . , .! ...... 1. lor Uio .merest loll lor uio legislative ucnui oy our npioncnt, he would undoubtedly have boon defeated. Ills election n.ay be considered a niaticrof iwemiry, not of choice. We were certainly anxious for the uccei of our friend Thompson, but we sre quite sure that his defeat is not more regretted by us than the election of M'Dowell is by tho great body of the Locofocntnf tins counly. We therefore claim the election of M'D, it a triumph over the Loco COLUMBUS, themselves ! It is a legal recognition of the West Union Resolutions, and a succumbing of the " unter-ritied democracy" to tho dictation of Hauler & Co. We entertain no doubt but M'Dowell is at heart a Whiff his former declarations aro Whiff of the strongest stamp, and if in his new character as Representative in Congress, he shall act otherwise than in conformity to the principles ho is known to have entertained and acted upon heretofore, it will only be by reason of the influences that lute circumstances have surrounded him with. It will be a hypocritical, deccptivo outside, put on to cover his real sentiments. Whether his xipularity or his conscience will havo the greater inlluenco upon him, remains to bo seen. Clermont Courier. B. B. TAYLOR. Would it not be well for the Whigs of Licking county to employ B. B. Tuylor to writo a few more proclamations to tho Democratic party. His last one hud such a powerful effect that if Burril would write a few more, thero would be no necessity for the Whigs to mako any further effort for the com plete establishment ol tlieir principles, liurnl would accept of this office, wo have no doubt, as it would servo as a relaxation from the arduous and laborious duties of his profession, which would bo a very de-sirablo circumstance to a man of his extensive practice. But seriously speaking, we would advise Messrs. White and Duncan to render some compen sation to Hurril for his efforts in thoir behalf or at least to allow him a credit on former advances. Wo hope that Burril will live until another con test and that he will tuke a more active part in it for if he and Briggs (pur nobilq friitnuu) had ta ken tho stump togetiior to advocate the cause ol the regularly nominated ticket, wo du not believe that it would have received three hundred Demo- dratic votes in the county of Licking. In truth, wo have heard that the Rev. J. W. It. Morgan has stated that ho wus inadvertently led to ndupt the sentiments that were contained in his speech by the official dictation of Hurril. When called upon for a speech, ho hesitated and turning to Burril, who was standing near, enquired what topics he should touch upon. Says, Burrill, denounce all Banks and protective tariffs, and then say any thing vou choose. Poor Morgan, now enjoying tho shady retirement of Lden, will have tune tu Iniuunt a counsel which tins sealed his political fute forever. As for Burril, he cares not who may have been defeated, or what may bo the condition of the Democratic party, as he is not their candidate. A knowledge of the selfishness of his nature, satisfies us that ho secretly rejoices in tho defeat of Monro in this counly. He will now pompously assert "if had been your candidato, far dilfereut would have been the result of the contest."Wonder If the party will sudor Burril to dupe thorn any longer? or will they teuch him that his crude Caroline doctrines will not suit this ago and particularly the mcredian of Licking County."vVcieurir Gazette. TENNESSEE (iOV. JONES' MESSAGE. The .Message of tho Guicrnor to the two Houses of the '1 ennesseo Legislature deals mostly in mat ten of local interest to tho State. Gov. Jones in deed says that he purposely avoided the introduction of nny of thoso questions of national policy which agitate tho public iiiiud, believing that the occusion did not call tor the discussion ot such tunics. The confused state of tho statute book nnd the necessity of revising tl.o whole the affairs of the Hunks in which the State is concerned the subject of r.tlucntion in connection with a system ot t.om- mon bchoois internal improvements the reniten- tinry and Lunatic establishments nre treated of in plain, sensible manner. The debt of Tennessee is between three nnd four millions of dollars nnd some provision is now necessary to meet the obligations ol tins ifetit tiov. Jokes says: "The duly of making some adequate snd perma nent provision fur the payment of our liabilities, though properly belonging to those by whoso agen cy the debt was created, yet having been neglected, the duty ifevulves on you, and how dillicult an.) re sponsible soever the tnsk may be, 1 hopo it is one from which you will not shrink, that you will meet it as becomes the Representatives ut a grout and nourishing people." LOUISIANA.! It. JM.AV. Tho New York Courier and Eimuirer contains a letter from a corrcsisindent in Now Orleans, which says Ol the soundness ol the stato on tno rresiucntiai tuestion, I entertain not a solitary misgiving. Mr. Clat will nut only array the Whig party in Lonisi una. enthusiastically in his behalf, but he will obtain largo numbers of vole from tho moderate men of the opposilo side, who cannot and will not support Van Huron. Mr. t lay's personal popuiurity in uie Stato is unbounded. HARRY OF THE WEST. This beinff tho fuvnrilo designation nf the great leader of tho Whig host, says tho Nashvillo H tlincr, especially on tho Atlantic si.lo of tl.o Allcghnnies, our friends may like to know how it originated. Tho Banner proceeds with the following narrative: In IS 7. some titlv good lugs, and true, went bs a delegation from Baltimore, to congratulate the New Yorkers on tlieir great victory ot November. Thev had a grand dinner at iNibio's where the com pany comprised several thousands. If we mistake not. all reference in toasts or speeches to tho Whig candidates for President and Vice President was forbidden on that occasion, Irom nn idea that it might excite useless partizanship at the feslivo board. Af-lor dinner, whilst tho toasts were going round, and each Stale was called on for souii'lliing, the well known Philip Hone, one of tho Vice Presidents, made nn extra call upon a distinguished member ol the Baltimore Delegation, the Don. John P. Kennedy, author of " Horse-slme Robison, making a happy allusion to that work, and bringing him very con- spicuuitsly beloro the company. 1 his was out ol order ; as it was not in tho programme But being called on, Mr. Kennedy took advantngo of the tres pass and made another, no accordingly wouna up a speech of felicitation on that great victory, somo- hat after this tashion: " In the rratulation nf this triumph, as well as in tho stir and tumult of tho contest, wo have names to be remembered, which, indeed, oiircoimlry can never fi.rirei. I will nledffo one that lives fresh in the heart of every Whig; a name to rally upon when r rccdotn requires a (jiatnpion 10 ooast m wnun we ore asked for a Patriot ; to lovo when our alfections would seek a generous wunn-heorted r rtend ; a name which has a spell in it to gather millions when free hearts and strong hands aro to ho summoned in do-fence of our country's honor; I givo you lUnnT or the West.

The first Woolen Factory erected in the United States, was at Hartford, in 'lTIHI, and, it is soid, that WisuiMuTos delivered hisinngural address to Congress, in a suit of broadcloth from that factory. The oxamplo set by tl.o Father of bis country is a good one, and ought to bo followed, whenever it con ho. Yet the last Congress does not seem to bo all mindful of it: for it sent to F.urow for carpeting, when a quality as good, cheaper, and home mahe, could have been ohiained from American Factories. Wo have alluded onco already to the great improvements which have been made in our country in this article. ' Yesterday, passing by the Carpet store of J. C. Ringwslt, nearly oiipnsito lo our ollice, we wore induced to look in, and were really struck with the superiority in all respect of the Americas over tho FoaEio.i fabrics. They are finer in figure, stronger, cheaer. And when in tho interior of tho W est wo con see this result ol American enterprise, the late Congress was cither ignorant of it or unwil ling lo encuurago it.

We have just relumed from a visit to the birth place of RofiEBT Burns. We lingered for hours around objects made classic by his genius. This true Poet of Nature has invested every tiling that surrounds Avraud Allowny with an interest that can nver die. hvery brooK and brae and craig and Brig," arc the self erected monuments to hi mem ory and his muse. The Olasgow and Ayr Kaiiway enables visitors to go to Alloway in three hour and a half. The cottage in which tho Poet was born is about 21 miles from Ayr. ' It is nnd has been occupied by a Mrs. Goudic, (an intelligent and communicative old lady, who wus acquainted with liurns) tor tortv-two voare. The cottage, a constructed by the Poet's Father, on seven acres of ground, fur which he bought a perpetual lease, is small and humble, consisting of a single room and kitchen. When the Poet's Father rented Mount Oliphant, a f..rm near the cottage ho sold hi seven acres to the Shocinuker's Corporation of Ayr, for lK), to whom Mrs. Goudie pays an annual rent of 45. From the cottago we proceeded to the "Bum's Monument" a very tasteful, poetic structure.erccted on the uunkB of the "Bonny Doon," at an expense of 1,1100, raised by subscription. The grounds around it are handsomely laid out cud adorned with many varictios of shrub and flower. Within the monument upon the ground floor is an apartment lighted from a cupola, with stained gluss, in the centre of which stands a table with relics of Hums enclosed in a glass case. Among these mementoes are the two Bibles presented by the Poet to his "Highland Mary." In the fly leaf to each volume "Hubert Burns, Mossgicl," as written by himself, is seen; and in the 1st Uouk "And ve shall not swear bv inv name false ly," and in the 2d, "Thou shall not forswear thyself, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths," appear in his hand writing. With these sacred volumes is a lock of "Highland Mary's" hair. After the death of Mary Campbell, these Bibles were given by her mother to Airs. Anderson, another daughter, who subsequently gave ono to each of her daughters. A son of Mrs. Anderson, who resides in Cunuda, come al'tcrwards in possession of both these volumes, but was compelled by pecuniury misfortunes to part with them. They were purchased forV.5 by some Scotch gentlemen at Montreal and returned to Scotland for preservation in the monument where they were deposited on the 25th (the Poet's birthday) of January, 81 1. I tie view from the monument is one ol sur passing beauty, every bright feature of which has it luetic associations. From the monument wo passed over to "Alloway'l aolil haunted Kirk," the walls ond bell of which alono arc preserved, the wood-work having long sinco been transformed into snuff-boxcB. Near the Kirk yard gute aro tho re mains of the Poet's Father, distinguished by a Blub on which these lines, written by Burns, are inscribed : "(Mi ye wl.use rl.tck die lear nf pily nlai.ii, llniw ii.-.tr Willi pitiitii rt-v,r,-it. e tii.,1 ulli-nif ; I it.

The tomb of the Lord of Alloway is in tho area of the Kirk, and at tho west comer of the Cemetery is a hunilsomo modern monument to the memory of Gen. Hughes. A few yards further west, and by tl.o sido of the door, is tho Well Where Mungu'a mtlhcr hni.gi'd hursel." Going south a few hundjed yards you como to "Aulil Brig," over which "Tain O'Shantcr" wos pursued by the witches, and still further on you see "'l'h, nipiklt slt.no Wharc drunknn Ctnulie bruk' neck bone." A sister of Burns resides about three quarter of a mile from tho cottage, upon whom we intended to call, hut just as n o had terminated uur view of external objects, tho rain descended in such torrents that we were compelled to lorego the visit Mrs. Gowdio informed us that this sister is a widow lady upwards of seventy, but enjoying good health. Wo relumed to Ayr, an ancient town of much historical interest through which the rain having abated we wandered fur an hour. Ayrshire contained a population of 1 15,000 in IKil.oml boasts of tournament in l&VJ.' Tlic river Ayr abounds in trout and salmon. Thu salmon, by the way, have never been so plentiful us this season. Immense quantities nro taken daily from Ireland and Scotland to England. They have been sold, where they are taken most abundantly, for three cents a pound. Tho Ayr "folk" have erected a noble Tower in honor of Sir William Wallace, which is adorned with a stntuo of the Scottish Chief by Thom. There is another statue of Wallace in a nicho of an ancient stone building in which lie once took refugo when hard pressed by a suporior lorce. 1 ho 1 ower ot St John's Church, erected in the rjth Ccnturv, hut converted into an Armory and For tification by Oliver Cromwell, in Jli52, isavcnerablo relic.

Hut I passed these objects with a cursory glance fur tho purposo of seeing and crossing "The Brigs of Ayr, whoso relativo claim to consideration wcro so glowingly sung by " I ho nimple Hard, much SI (he ru'lto plough, learning hit lunvlill trade trom uvrry btsi;ii." Whilo standing upop tho "Auld Brig," looking to-wnrd it gay rival, it required but a alight elfort of the imagination to endow it with the powers of speech, and to suppose it exclaiming: "INuweilcd jpmk! puff'tlwi' windy pride ! Thi, niony a y.'ar I've Ntmxl Ihr ImhI ail' tide An' tho' w,' rriiy cild I'm snir lirh.-.nrii. I'll bo a brig whin yc'ro a iImix-Icm rairn." And having imagined this, the stqierciliuus reply uf the "New Brijj" wo of cuursc heurd : - "Fine Architecture ! Irowih, I is-od no. isy'l n't! Tito Lord he llisnkil thai wu'vr toil the eule o't!

It it a littlo singular that the poetic prophecy of burn, that Uie Old Ung wuuld bo a ling when tho new one became a 'bIiii poles cairn," i about to be realized. The new Brig, since the construction of tho Avr Kailwny, which terminates near it is tound too narrow for tho increase of business, and is to ho taken down. This Bridge was built in 1778. Tho "Old Hridgo" was erected in I'irjo, and looks a if it might Btuiid as much longer. Before leaving the "Brig" my attention was orrea-ted by what with us would be regarded, if not paten ted, s an "Improved Washing Machine." At least a dozen wash-tub wcro pluced along tho shore of the river Ayr, in which as niony leuiaiea, somo old and ugly, and others young and pretty, were "pound-ing clothes" with their feel! I havo heard that tho Scotch lasses, who have large "Bakings," knead their broad in the snmo manner; the truth uf this, however, I cannot vouch; but that I saw thctn dancing in wash-tubs, without stockings, is certain. Within a mile of tho village of Tsrbolton, near the river Ayr, is the scene of Burn's last and truly affecting interview with Mary Ciinipbcll. It was uf a Sunday, in May. Their muiiinl fuith wss plighted, first by laying their hands in the pur stream, and (hen crossing them upon Mary's Bible. Preparatory to their marriage, Alary visited her friends in Ar-gyleshire, and in reluming, fell sick and died at Greenock. Bum retained through life tho most de voted remembrance ol tins early attachment Mr Lockhart who, from frequent interview with the widow of tho Poet derived many very interesting fact in relation tu Burns, states among other things that many years after his marriage, and on tho anniversary uf iho donth of "Highland Mary," after work ing hard all day in the Ileitis, though out ol health, ho wandored into tho bnrn-yard, where ho remained so long that Mrs. B. alarmed at in absence, went re peatedly and begged nun to como in which he nrom isod lo do, but remained stretched upon a mass of strew, with his eyes lixcd upon a beautilul planet that shone like another moon, until a luto hour. On entering t.io house he called for his desk, snd imme diately wrote the following aublime and pathctio lines : "Thou liugvring 8lar Willi k-wning ray, That lov'ui i" g'et'i ds. early niura ; Airruu thou uh.-r t in Ihr day, My Mary, front my sou! was lorn.

Ah I little thought we 'twas our last." William Brass, tho Poet's Falher, is rontembor-od as an intelligent worthy, pious farmer, but one on whom fortune bestowed more of her frown than her smiles. At his death, the family were left entirely destitute, but soon removed (in 1784) from Alloway to Moss-giel, where tho Poet fouod in Gavin Hamilton, (from him his mother lcaacd a furm) an early and generous friend. Most of his Poems, during the three years he resided here, from his 25th to hi 28th year, were written. I am surprised in finding upon tho Register kept for visiters ut the Birthplace of Burns, tho name of but very few Americans. In looking back for the last four months I noticed the names of three of my countrymen, one of which was that of Professor Mussy of Boston. The Glasgow and Ayr Railway, though undertaken with serious doubts of its answering the hope ot stockholders, proves a most profitable investment It is fifty miles in length and run through Paisley, Johnstone, Lochwinnock, Beith, Kilbirnie, Dairy, Saltcoats, Kilwinning, &c. which are manufacturing towns ; and through Irvine, (a beautiful place,) Troon, Monkton, Prestwich, Ayr, Sic, which are upon the sea coast and commercial in their pursuits. The capital stock was 520,000, most of which was subscribed by tho merchants of Glasgow. Forty per cent, ouly had been culled when the Railway was completed. Its stock is at or above par. 1 allude more particularly to this subject now for the purpose of remarking that but fur the circumslanco that this Railway was to approach tho birth-place of Burns, Uie stock would not have been taken, nor would the way havo been constructed. Thi circumstance popularized tho onterprize. Many capitalist ventured to tuke stock who, but for the charm which Burns has thruwn aruund Ayr and Alloway, would havo held their hands. Nor was this view of the question too poetical. A considerable item in the receipts of the company is derived from visitors to the Birthplace of Burns. THE OLD BAY STATE ITS. MANUFACTURES.Every stream is made to contribute its power to give motion to muchiiiery. The ungrateful soil of a great portion of the State places them under the necessity of resorting to some other resources fur supplying tho moro favored agriculturist of tho west witli a return for the products of a moro fertile soil. Though tho interval lands arc productivo and valuable, yet their limited extent, compared with the population, and the exceeding roughness of the mountainous sections, which present most forbidden appearance to tho western furincr, must forever pre vent them from being an agricultural people. The comparative density of population, the unrivaled water power, the contiguity to the seaboard, and an in- ustnous and enterprising population, will always make New England the manufacturing portion of the United States. The diversity of Manufactures surprising to those who never visited the land of V-..lrnn t'l. r e ..: 1 .tlUlVU IIUUUIH,, J 1IU JJIUUUUIIUII Ul OrilCieH OI U.- tlmg importance in thoiuselvcs, is often made a very tensive business. The condition of tl.o manufactories is now most flourishing. Every establishment is filled with busy orkmcn, and tho denfuning clank of machinery is heard from all quarters, while with astonishing rapidity some useful article is produced, which finds a market, perhaps in tho remotest purls of tho earth, visited by Yankee vessels. Tho business is moBllv carried on to answer orders, which aro sufficient to p it unusually brisk. No kind of business seem. id lo he stagnated, and but little comolaint of hard Ulrica was nearo among the enterprising and nidus-trinos mechanics and manufacturers. 1 hough almost every considerable village in the State has some branch of manufactures carried on, and some largo ones are built up entirely by tho business, nothing of the poverty, ignorance and crime uucuuani upon uie r.ngnsi. system, is seen among them. The education of the children in manufacturing places is guarded with commendable care, and probably there aro no better schools found in the State, than in these villuffes. As the schools are supported by a general tax on property, and tho mo ney upponiunoa to cacti district in proportion to tho number of scholars, between Uio aires of four and sixteen ; these plucos draw a large share of the public money, being very compact they havo more the advantages of schools than many small district re mote and with a more sparse population.

Much to the credit it those who liavo the care of these establishments. they generally feel disposed to carry out the design of the law. Olio great ohjection to tho factory system, is the lose confinement to labor, which is ccncrullv ro- ipiircd being twelve or thirteen hour a day. Consequently, there is a tendency to physical deircneni- cy produced by so close confinement and o little exercise in Uio open air. 1 hero is also a strong tendency to neglect the educntion of the females in do mestic unties, i ncso cnecis are not yet very obvi ous, as the otierativc aro mostly female from the contiguous country, who seek employment in these places, in preierence to doinir housework, or course these places are the favorite resort of the bruiu rotn the country around, and many a fuir operative taken from the dusty cotton mills, snd initiated into the domestic duties ot the hottsewtlo. The evils of tho neirloct of their educatiun for do moslic duties, eventually become alarming. When once the inhabitant become acquainted only with manufacturing business, and improvidence and poverty prevont their relircinir from it thev must be come under the control of a capriciou agent and tno subservient tool ol an aristocracy more to be dreaded than any ordinary anstocralic power; and then when depression of business takes place, misery n its most hideous form .oust stare litem in tho face. This condition of things, the moral and intellectual ducatiun of tho people, tends to avert, and we have little reason to anticipate the state of degradation in these places that is found in English manufacturing places. Still there are often tyrannic powers exorci- lod, which would not be submitted to by tho inde pendent yeomanry ol Uie country, and It require tho utmost vigilance, often, to prevent the encroachments of the capitalists on the dependents, who are driven to these places for employment and subsistence for tnn.nseive alio lalmlies. I he present condition of the manufacture, is ve ry flattering to the friend of domestic industry and also to those ot education and morality, and portions they may always be mado to continue as favorable.

A writer in the Bufliilo Commercial gives a very interesting account of this great work which he calls 'The Appian Way of the Republic, stretching in neurly a straight line from Cumberland in Maryland, to the Mississippi at St Louis, leveling hills and filling up valleys with embankments, which seem the work of Titans. Its culverts are faced with cut stone of the best workmanship: and not a tiickling rivulet of a few inches in breadth, or apparently trifling slough occurs in its course, for which ample and permanent sluice-ways are not provided at a cost in each individual inslanco that would erect a common bridge over quite a stream. Its bridges are most superior structures, built of tho bost materials, and being protected from the action of the element by "good roofs, will last for sovoral generations. 'I he pier and abutments on which they repose are of cut stone, clamped together in the strongest manner.The plan of bridging adopted on thi road is uniformly that of parallel arches, rising on on each sido to a height ol some twelve or httecn feet from tho floor of the bridge, and formed by stiff plank placed transversely, and pinned through and through at each point of juxtaposition, making an infinite number of braces in oil directions, and rendering the sagging or swnying of the structure almost an impossibility. The bridgo over which tho National road crosses the Scioto, at Columbus, is one of the best built on the roud, and although of great spun, has but one pier in the centre to sustain the wide stretched arch. Yet when haavily loaded teams aro passing over it, scarce a perceptible jar is felt such is its solidity. The length of the road is H00 miles, of which only !i02 miles of continuous Macadamized road, from Cumberland to Springfield, Ohio, ha been fully finished. There are other small portions Macadamized where there is considerable local travel. The plan adopted in the construction of tho Cum- borlund Road renders it cost much greater than that of the common Macadamized turnpikes.. The width of its locution is eighty feet; of the graded road UO feet; the track Macadamized is 120 feel wide, and covored with broken limestone to the depth of 9 inches. In many instances, pursuing its direct unvarying line, hills are encountered through which its path had to he cut, frequently by blasting away the solid rock, and wide deep valley were to be crossed, rendering very long and heavy embank ments indcspensable. As a specimen of the extra ordinary character of somo portions of tho work may bo adduced the estimated cost ot a section ot two miles, commencing seventy one mile west of lndionupolis, on tho Wabush bottom, across that river from Torre Haute, being nearly 1 10,000. The bridging and masonry required on that same short section will cost in addition, about ,-50,000 making these two milea alono uf that road figure up to the tune ol jatO.OoO a mile. Tho average cost of the rood in Ohio, is $1 1,000 per mile. For the unfinished portion the estimate in Ohio is $14,000, Indiana (1-21,000, and Illinois i'i 1,000. About one-half the cost in Ohio wa for Macadamizing, one fourth for bridges and masonry, and ono quarter for oiening and grading. Of the finished portion of the road 1)11 mile lie in Maryland and Virginia, 171 mile in Ohio, 0 milea in Indiana, and !t in Illinois. AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.

In Henrico county, tho success ol the Society has been truly gralifjing, and ha far exceeded the calculations nf the most sanguine.

THE DEATH OF DR. LINN. The circumstances attending the death of Senator LIMN, have not we believe, been correctly stated in any quarter. Dr. Lwn was, up to the evening of the 2d instant, in the enjoyment of unusually good health. He wa then busily engaged in preparing some business, intending on the next day to visit St Ijouis. In the afternoon, when stooping to search lor some papers in a trunk at his side, he raised hi head suddenly, and asked' Mrs. Linn if hi face appeared flushed, as he felt exceedingly dizzy, and there eoomed to bo a general determination of blood to the head. The painful sensation, however, loon passed off, and ho resisted the suggestion that he should be bled. During the evening, and to a lato hour in the night, he was busily employed in correspondence and other matters, and when he retired he was indisposed to sleep. When Mrs. Linn rose in the morning, he requested that he might not be disturbed, Baying that ho would endeavor to sleep en hour or two. He soon fell into a slumber, apparently gentle and refreshing. When visited two or three times, he wa still found in tins state, and thore wa no disposition to disturb him. It wa not until near 12 o'clock of the 3d, that Mrs. Linn approached his bedside to awaken him. She attempted to do so, but in vain. Calmly and placed without a sigh, or the change of a single feature of his benevolent countenance hnd life passed away. Three or four hour afterwards, there was a profuso bleed ing from the mouth and nostrils. bt. Lmms JVeto Erie. Grapes City Culture.

An increaso amount of paper is offering, boU. at tho banks and out of doors, which has had the effect of bringing into uso capital hitherto unemployed, and enabled lenders to make more favorable selections securities, as well as to obtain a more advanta geous interest Money is, however, readily procur- d at five per cent and under, upon short paper, hue that having over six months to run Is used ill. difficulty. The opinion is now quite general that during Uie Winter the banks will bo enabled to obtain the legal rate of interest though we believe lew anticipate any thing like scarcity ot money.

Returns huvo been received from twenty of the twenty-four Congressional District of Pennsylvania, in which the Whigs have elected !), and the Locos 11 members of Congress, being a WWffgmnof three roombcrs. It is thought that of tho four districts to hear from, Die Whigs will carry throo, which will bo one-half the delegation. A correspondent of the Baltimore American, writing from Harrisburgh, Oct 12, says : As far as the returns hove come in, tho Whi"s have a decided majority in tho Legislature, but fthinlt that completo returns from the whole Stato will show a small majority for tho Locofocos ; although they scoin to givo it up as having gone for tho Whigs. Tho indicotions are, from the returns received, that tho Whig Canal Commissioners are elected. They have generally run abovo the other Whig Candidates, and tho Locofoco nominees below theirs. It is believod that Clark, (Loco,) has been defeated ; but the Counties to come in may chango the present aspect of the result. This glorious result was scarcely anticipated. NEW JERSEY. The election which was held in Now Jorsoy on Tuesday and Wednesday, wo regret to say, has gone airuisttiio Whiirs. In tho Legislature tho Locos have a majority of. C in tho Council, and a majority ot 12 in tno lower House. The Locofocos, therefore, have the Legislature, and consequently tho Governor, who is chosen by tho Legislature. There is no Senator of tho United States to bo chosen. CONGRESS. The Stato is entitled to five members. In the first four districts tho Locofoco candidates were all elected. In tho Fifth District the contest was very exciting. Tho whole interest acorns to havo been centred in the election for Congressman. Mr. Kinney, editor of the Newark Duily Advertiser, was tho regular nominee of the Whig Convention. His opponent was William Wright, also a Whig, but for whom the entire Democratic vote was cast, and who is consequently elected by a majority of 1181. TENTH DISTRICT.

These elections, (savs tho Richmond Whig) prove exactly what wo have always said ; that the majority of the penplo of this Union is Whig) and that if tlii-y havo not carried all tho elections sinco 1840, their failures havo proceeded from apathy. Tho Whigs were disheartened by the trcochory of men whom they had trusted, and did not believe that they could mend matters by any exertion of their own. They therefore stayed at home, when their presence was necessary at tho polls. This is tho tme socret of the much vaunted victories which have been produced, not by their increase of strength, but by the failure of tho Whigs to attend at the pulls, SIGNS OF THE TIMES.

They electioneered late and early all over the county, and aomu of the candidates were as many as three or four times in tho samo town-shim.

We havo carried every condiriaie on tho Democratic Whig ticket in Tuscaruwas, and had we the right of equal representation, Joseph Matheny would be a Mombor of the Legislature. To the Whigs who attended the pulls wo are indehtod for this victory Honor to those to whom honor is duo l NEVER DESPOND.. Previous to tho election there were a number of honest intelligent Whigs, who soomcd dispuscd to abundoned to contest in Tuscarawas county, from a belief that tho want of spirit in our party would lead to a defeat of the county ticket Had such men, in nlace of showing ovidenco of despondency, put their shoulder to tho wheel, Tuscarawas might have given double the Whig mijority that is now shown in the returns of tho election. Fear and despondency nevor effected any thing. They are often the forerunners of misfortune, both in public and private life. In politics they help to produce that very defeat, which their possessors are so anxious to avoid. Nothing like confidence of success, and energy of action. Even if you fear the result, never express it The Whigs of the Revolution nevor effected their independence by fenr and trembling. The "go-aluttd" policy waB tho thing that carried them through, and hud it not been for such a spirit among son.o of the Democratic Whigs of the township on last Tuesday, in place of having a respectable majority in Tuscarawas, wo might nave lost some of our candidates. Tuscarawas Advocate. MORGAN CO. REDEEMED VERDICT OF THE PEOPLE I! At last thanks to tho "unbotii'lit untcrrificd, in domitable" Straightouts and Whigs, Morgan has been redeemed, disenthralled, and regenerated. 1 tio majorities will be found below. In our next we shall give an official table, fur the benefit of our readers. We havo clorv enoiifih tur ono day. A boosting, insolent minority has been rebuked rebuked by the very men upon whom they havo heaped every term of scorn, reproach and contempt The "Backhouse" men, the "Bolters,1 and the "lick spittles of Federal-nm,"(as they have been contemptuously termed) havo heaped ennfunon and thume upon their opponents, and established for themselves, in Morgan county, an ascendancy that cannot be moved hereafter, by the combined forces of tho "hard money federalists." The terrified tools of a miserable fuction, who hold their orgies in the stone ollices and move at the nod of Dr. Barker and James M. Gnylord, now feel the withering power ol a long outraged public leeling, and bow their heads in shiiine. How kind, obsequious and humble they aro now ! How tbey lovo some of the dear straight-outs! And how dearly Ihcy cherish straight-out principles! somo of them al ready claim the honor ut hrst promulgating and prop- ogating them! And how they criminate and recriminate among themselves on account of the disas ters that have bel.illcn them. Well, lot it pass! we will not exult over a fallen foe ; but are willing to bury tho hatchet forgot and forgive. Nine long, loud sod hearty cheers however, we must have fur the Independents of Old Morgan!!! Boys, do you hoar that ? Wo have lost a part of our county ticket ; and our opponents must thank the Whigs alone for it Mr. McCarty and Mr. llarklnm would have boon elected, beyond doubt had tho Wings stuck to the Independent ticket Of this thou con bo not a shallow of doubt, and Messrs. Parrish and Rob, should return them a voto of thanks, by cheering and sustaining thoso who deem no epithet too opprobrious to apply to a Whig or straight-out ! A deep and subtle gamo has been played by a part of tho opitosition for two weeks past Finding tho District ticket in dnngcr, they commenced a desperate elfort to save the coun ty ticket trom impending ruin. 1 no grossest snd most unfounoea stories were prnpogated against .Messrs.

On Tuesday, tho Whigs of Butler rallied in the cause of tho people, most inanliilly; and as far as this county was concerned, all went right, but not n.iilo far enough. Wo reduced tho tawofoco ma- ioritr ncarlv a hundred; and bognn to feel certain of ' 1 . :, .. r UL.. ... success, till Uio rciuniB iron, rruo.u n-Huucu when all our prospect were dashed to tho ground. Wo had looked to that county for our support and were litllo prciarcd for the course sho has taken. Wo had more than ovorcomo tho majority of Wei-ler in 1840, though even here wo had not done all that ought tu have done in this county. It is natural for us to enquire after the causes of this defeat; and it may bo well to namo somo that are aonnrrnl. First was the Liberty party's organi sation, that drew oft" a largo number of Whigs in both counties: and lurthor discouraged a great number in the neighborhood where the Liberty movo-ninit was active; and still further, this party made the most successful band of cleclioners sgoinst u for their charge against the Whig party wore re- ganl.'d as conlc-molia. rvext wss uie uivisinn oi mo Wh.o-nartv in I'rehlo. where two candidates were out for tl.o Legislature, and two for the ollico of county treasurer. It wo in Uutler, where the party opposed us in a txillil pinianx, gaincuaiiunoreu, -o nerd not wonder that the Loco should gain 1 10 on us with all tho difficulties we had tu contend with ttinre. These are speculation on tho past. IVow what for the future? Khali wo givo up, or shall wo rally airain, fur next year, and by a more, completo or- iraniutinn conoucr? No ono will protend to sny, that there are not Whigs enough hi this district to elect a Congressman: and all admit that proper management will bring them out Next year there will bo a Coiurressmaii and Senator tu elect well as to vole for President and Vice President Will not Una ho a eullicionl object to rally us.' Wo think it will: and we have no doubt tho Whig will coino up to tho work manfully then. t us then tako Ircsh start, aim como up 10 uio work like men. us spend the coining year in active eiertion for this ono. and success will crown our effort. THE ELECTION. Ii is over, and so far as this county, and tl.o Dis tricts of which it forms a part, aro concerned, tho m.iili i disastrous enoi.eh. Tho Iwo havo car ried all tho county olliceis. This wo were prepared for, and much a we may regret it we aro not di- appointcd. In our I-gislativo ticket wo aro routed, horse, fisit and dragoons! Two Senators and three Ue. presentative are elected, nil liotoftms!! In litis, case, we did hope for a different result but o it is, and wo must bear the defout with as good a grace a possible. Clermont did her duly she reduced the IsKofoco majority more than was really counted on. Hrown counly crowded a little heavier than usual but Clinton fell greatly in tho renr. Her Whig majority, which usually stands at 700 and 00, fell back to about 40 hence our defeat Let not the Whiga of Clermont bo blamed for this tlisastor they cut down the Isico majority over 100 from last falls vote tlieir skirts aro clear! Wo havo lost our Congressman. This wa not unexpected. Tho majority against lis in the District, it really about 500 or 000, yet M'Dowell' ma jority is not half that number, and had it not been r. . . , .! ...... 1. lor Uio .merest loll lor uio legislative ucnui oy our npioncnt, he would undoubtedly have boon defeated. Ills election n.ay be considered a niaticrof iwemiry, not of choice. We were certainly anxious for the uccei of our friend Thompson, but we sre quite sure that his defeat is not more regretted by us than the election of M'Dowell is by tho great body of the Locofocntnf tins counly. We therefore claim the election of M'D, it a triumph over the Loco COLUMBUS, themselves ! It is a legal recognition of the West Union Resolutions, and a succumbing of the " unter-ritied democracy" to tho dictation of Hauler & Co. We entertain no doubt but M'Dowell is at heart a Whiff his former declarations aro Whiff of the strongest stamp, and if in his new character as Representative in Congress, he shall act otherwise than in conformity to the principles ho is known to have entertained and acted upon heretofore, it will only be by reason of the influences that lute circumstances have surrounded him with. It will be a hypocritical, deccptivo outside, put on to cover his real sentiments. Whether his xipularity or his conscience will havo the greater inlluenco upon him, remains to bo seen. Clermont Courier. B. B. TAYLOR. Would it not be well for the Whigs of Licking county to employ B. B. Tuylor to writo a few more proclamations to tho Democratic party. His last one hud such a powerful effect that if Burril would write a few more, thero would be no necessity for the Whigs to mako any further effort for the com plete establishment ol tlieir principles, liurnl would accept of this office, wo have no doubt, as it would servo as a relaxation from the arduous and laborious duties of his profession, which would bo a very de-sirablo circumstance to a man of his extensive practice. But seriously speaking, we would advise Messrs. White and Duncan to render some compen sation to Hurril for his efforts in thoir behalf or at least to allow him a credit on former advances. Wo hope that Burril will live until another con test and that he will tuke a more active part in it for if he and Briggs (pur nobilq friitnuu) had ta ken tho stump togetiior to advocate the cause ol the regularly nominated ticket, wo du not believe that it would have received three hundred Demo- dratic votes in the county of Licking. In truth, wo have heard that the Rev. J. W. It. Morgan has stated that ho wus inadvertently led to ndupt the sentiments that were contained in his speech by the official dictation of Hurril. When called upon for a speech, ho hesitated and turning to Burril, who was standing near, enquired what topics he should touch upon. Says, Burrill, denounce all Banks and protective tariffs, and then say any thing vou choose. Poor Morgan, now enjoying tho shady retirement of Lden, will have tune tu Iniuunt a counsel which tins sealed his political fute forever. As for Burril, he cares not who may have been defeated, or what may bo the condition of the Democratic party, as he is not their candidate. A knowledge of the selfishness of his nature, satisfies us that ho secretly rejoices in tho defeat of Monro in this counly. He will now pompously assert "if had been your candidato, far dilfereut would have been the result of the contest."Wonder If the party will sudor Burril to dupe thorn any longer? or will they teuch him that his crude Caroline doctrines will not suit this ago and particularly the mcredian of Licking County."vVcieurir Gazette. TENNESSEE (iOV. JONES' MESSAGE. The .Message of tho Guicrnor to the two Houses of the '1 ennesseo Legislature deals mostly in mat ten of local interest to tho State. Gov. Jones in deed says that he purposely avoided the introduction of nny of thoso questions of national policy which agitate tho public iiiiud, believing that the occusion did not call tor the discussion ot such tunics. The confused state of tho statute book nnd the necessity of revising tl.o whole the affairs of the Hunks in which the State is concerned the subject of r.tlucntion in connection with a system ot t.om- mon bchoois internal improvements the reniten- tinry and Lunatic establishments nre treated of in plain, sensible manner. The debt of Tennessee is between three nnd four millions of dollars nnd some provision is now necessary to meet the obligations ol tins ifetit tiov. Jokes says: "The duly of making some adequate snd perma nent provision fur the payment of our liabilities, though properly belonging to those by whoso agen cy the debt was created, yet having been neglected, the duty ifevulves on you, and how dillicult an.) re sponsible soever the tnsk may be, 1 hopo it is one from which you will not shrink, that you will meet it as becomes the Representatives ut a grout and nourishing people." LOUISIANA.! It. JM.AV. Tho New York Courier and Eimuirer contains a letter from a corrcsisindent in Now Orleans, which says Ol the soundness ol the stato on tno rresiucntiai tuestion, I entertain not a solitary misgiving. Mr. Clat will nut only array the Whig party in Lonisi una. enthusiastically in his behalf, but he will obtain largo numbers of vole from tho moderate men of the opposilo side, who cannot and will not support Van Huron. Mr. t lay's personal popuiurity in uie Stato is unbounded. HARRY OF THE WEST. This beinff tho fuvnrilo designation nf the great leader of tho Whig host, says tho Nashvillo H tlincr, especially on tho Atlantic si.lo of tl.o Allcghnnies, our friends may like to know how it originated. Tho Banner proceeds with the following narrative: In IS 7. some titlv good lugs, and true, went bs a delegation from Baltimore, to congratulate the New Yorkers on tlieir great victory ot November. Thev had a grand dinner at iNibio's where the com pany comprised several thousands. If we mistake not. all reference in toasts or speeches to tho Whig candidates for President and Vice President was forbidden on that occasion, Irom nn idea that it might excite useless partizanship at the feslivo board. Af-lor dinner, whilst tho toasts were going round, and each Stale was called on for souii'lliing, the well known Philip Hone, one of tho Vice Presidents, made nn extra call upon a distinguished member ol the Baltimore Delegation, the Don. John P. Kennedy, author of " Horse-slme Robison, making a happy allusion to that work, and bringing him very con- spicuuitsly beloro the company. 1 his was out ol order ; as it was not in tho programme But being called on, Mr. Kennedy took advantngo of the tres pass and made another, no accordingly wouna up a speech of felicitation on that great victory, somo- hat after this tashion: " In the rratulation nf this triumph, as well as in tho stir and tumult of tho contest, wo have names to be remembered, which, indeed, oiircoimlry can never fi.rirei. I will nledffo one that lives fresh in the heart of every Whig; a name to rally upon when r rccdotn requires a (jiatnpion 10 ooast m wnun we ore asked for a Patriot ; to lovo when our alfections would seek a generous wunn-heorted r rtend ; a name which has a spell in it to gather millions when free hearts and strong hands aro to ho summoned in do-fence of our country's honor; I givo you lUnnT or the West.

The first Woolen Factory erected in the United States, was at Hartford, in 'lTIHI, and, it is soid, that WisuiMuTos delivered hisinngural address to Congress, in a suit of broadcloth from that factory. The oxamplo set by tl.o Father of bis country is a good one, and ought to bo followed, whenever it con ho. Yet the last Congress does not seem to bo all mindful of it: for it sent to F.urow for carpeting, when a quality as good, cheaper, and home mahe, could have been ohiained from American Factories. Wo have alluded onco already to the great improvements which have been made in our country in this article. ' Yesterday, passing by the Carpet store of J. C. Ringwslt, nearly oiipnsito lo our ollice, we wore induced to look in, and were really struck with the superiority in all respect of the Americas over tho FoaEio.i fabrics. They are finer in figure, stronger, cheaer. And when in tho interior of tho W est wo con see this result ol American enterprise, the late Congress was cither ignorant of it or unwil ling lo encuurago it.

We have just relumed from a visit to the birth place of RofiEBT Burns. We lingered for hours around objects made classic by his genius. This true Poet of Nature has invested every tiling that surrounds Avraud Allowny with an interest that can nver die. hvery brooK and brae and craig and Brig," arc the self erected monuments to hi mem ory and his muse. The Olasgow and Ayr Kaiiway enables visitors to go to Alloway in three hour and a half. The cottage in which tho Poet was born is about 21 miles from Ayr. ' It is nnd has been occupied by a Mrs. Goudic, (an intelligent and communicative old lady, who wus acquainted with liurns) tor tortv-two voare. The cottage, a constructed by the Poet's Father, on seven acres of ground, fur which he bought a perpetual lease, is small and humble, consisting of a single room and kitchen. When the Poet's Father rented Mount Oliphant, a f..rm near the cottage ho sold hi seven acres to the Shocinuker's Corporation of Ayr, for lK), to whom Mrs. Goudie pays an annual rent of 45. From the cottago we proceeded to the "Bum's Monument" a very tasteful, poetic structure.erccted on the uunkB of the "Bonny Doon," at an expense of 1,1100, raised by subscription. The grounds around it are handsomely laid out cud adorned with many varictios of shrub and flower. Within the monument upon the ground floor is an apartment lighted from a cupola, with stained gluss, in the centre of which stands a table with relics of Hums enclosed in a glass case. Among these mementoes are the two Bibles presented by the Poet to his "Highland Mary." In the fly leaf to each volume "Hubert Burns, Mossgicl," as written by himself, is seen; and in the 1st Uouk "And ve shall not swear bv inv name false ly," and in the 2d, "Thou shall not forswear thyself, but shall perform unto the Lord thine oaths," appear in his hand writing. With these sacred volumes is a lock of "Highland Mary's" hair. After the death of Mary Campbell, these Bibles were given by her mother to Airs. Anderson, another daughter, who subsequently gave ono to each of her daughters. A son of Mrs. Anderson, who resides in Cunuda, come al'tcrwards in possession of both these volumes, but was compelled by pecuniury misfortunes to part with them. They were purchased forV.5 by some Scotch gentlemen at Montreal and returned to Scotland for preservation in the monument where they were deposited on the 25th (the Poet's birthday) of January, 81 1. I tie view from the monument is one ol sur passing beauty, every bright feature of which has it luetic associations. From the monument wo passed over to "Alloway'l aolil haunted Kirk," the walls ond bell of which alono arc preserved, the wood-work having long sinco been transformed into snuff-boxcB. Near the Kirk yard gute aro tho re mains of the Poet's Father, distinguished by a Blub on which these lines, written by Burns, are inscribed : "(Mi ye wl.use rl.tck die lear nf pily nlai.ii, llniw ii.-.tr Willi pitiitii rt-v,r,-it. e tii.,1 ulli-nif ; I it.

The tomb of the Lord of Alloway is in tho area of the Kirk, and at tho west comer of the Cemetery is a hunilsomo modern monument to the memory of Gen. Hughes. A few yards further west, and by tl.o sido of the door, is tho Well Where Mungu'a mtlhcr hni.gi'd hursel." Going south a few hundjed yards you como to "Aulil Brig," over which "Tain O'Shantcr" wos pursued by the witches, and still further on you see "'l'h, nipiklt slt.no Wharc drunknn Ctnulie bruk' neck bone." A sister of Burns resides about three quarter of a mile from tho cottage, upon whom we intended to call, hut just as n o had terminated uur view of external objects, tho rain descended in such torrents that we were compelled to lorego the visit Mrs. Gowdio informed us that this sister is a widow lady upwards of seventy, but enjoying good health. Wo relumed to Ayr, an ancient town of much historical interest through which the rain having abated we wandered fur an hour. Ayrshire contained a population of 1 15,000 in IKil.oml boasts of tournament in l&VJ.' Tlic river Ayr abounds in trout and salmon. Thu salmon, by the way, have never been so plentiful us this season. Immense quantities nro taken daily from Ireland and Scotland to England. They have been sold, where they are taken most abundantly, for three cents a pound. Tho Ayr "folk" have erected a noble Tower in honor of Sir William Wallace, which is adorned with a stntuo of the Scottish Chief by Thom. There is another statue of Wallace in a nicho of an ancient stone building in which lie once took refugo when hard pressed by a suporior lorce. 1 ho 1 ower ot St John's Church, erected in the rjth Ccnturv, hut converted into an Armory and For tification by Oliver Cromwell, in Jli52, isavcnerablo relic. The Rev. John Welsh, son in-law of the Ro-furiner, Juhu Knox, wus Pastor of St John's Church in I.kIO. Hut I passed these objects with a cursory glance fur tho purposo of seeing and crossing "The Brigs of Ayr, whoso relativo claim to consideration wcro so glowingly sung by " I ho nimple Hard, much SI (he ru'lto plough, learning hit lunvlill trade trom uvrry btsi;ii." Whilo standing upop tho "Auld Brig," looking to-wnrd it gay rival, it required but a alight elfort of the imagination to endow it with the powers of speech, and to suppose it exclaiming: "INuweilcd jpmk! puff'tlwi' windy pride ! Thi, niony a y.'ar I've Ntmxl Ihr ImhI ail' tide An' tho' w,' rriiy cild I'm snir lirh.-.nrii. I'll bo a brig whin yc'ro a iImix-Icm rairn." And having imagined this, the stqierciliuus reply uf the "New Brijj" wo of cuursc heurd : - "Fine Architecture ! Irowih, I is-od no. isy'l n't! Tito Lord he llisnkil thai wu'vr toil the eule o't!

It it a littlo singular that the poetic prophecy of burn, that Uie Old Ung wuuld bo a ling when tho new one became a 'bIiii poles cairn," i about to be realized. The new Brig, since the construction of tho Avr Kailwny, which terminates near it is tound too narrow for tho increase of business, and is to ho taken down. This Bridge was built in 1778. Tho "Old Hridgo" was erected in I'irjo, and looks a if it might Btuiid as much longer. Before leaving the "Brig" my attention was orrea-ted by what with us would be regarded, if not paten ted, s an "Improved Washing Machine." At least a dozen wash-tub wcro pluced along tho shore of the river Ayr, in which as niony leuiaiea, somo old and ugly, and others young and pretty, were "pound-ing clothes" with their feel! I havo heard that tho Scotch lasses, who have large "Bakings," knead their broad in the snmo manner; the truth uf this, however, I cannot vouch; but that I saw thctn dancing in wash-tubs, without stockings, is certain. Within a mile of tho village of Tsrbolton, near the river Ayr, is the scene of Burn's last and truly affecting interview with Mary Ciinipbcll. It was uf a Sunday, in May. Their muiiinl fuith wss plighted, first by laying their hands in the pur stream, and (hen crossing them upon Mary's Bible. Preparatory to their marriage, Alary visited her friends in Ar-gyleshire, and in reluming, fell sick and died at Greenock. Bum retained through life tho most de voted remembrance ol tins early attachment Mr Lockhart who, from frequent interview with the widow of tho Poet derived many very interesting fact in relation tu Burns, states among other things that many years after his marriage, and on tho anniversary uf iho donth of "Highland Mary," after work ing hard all day in the Ileitis, though out ol health, ho wandored into tho bnrn-yard, where ho remained so long that Mrs. B. alarmed at in absence, went re peatedly and begged nun to como in which he nrom isod lo do, but remained stretched upon a mass of strew, with his eyes lixcd upon a beautilul planet that shone like another moon, until a luto hour. On entering t.io house he called for his desk, snd imme diately wrote the following aublime and pathctio lines : "Thou liugvring 8lar Willi k-wning ray, That lov'ui i" g'et'i ds. early niura ; Airruu thou uh.-r t in Ihr day, My Mary, front my sou! was lorn.

Ah I little thought we 'twas our last." William Brass, tho Poet's Falher, is rontembor-od as an intelligent worthy, pious farmer, but one on whom fortune bestowed more of her frown than her smiles. At his death, the family were left entirely destitute, but soon removed (in 1784) from Alloway to Moss-giel, where tho Poet fouod in Gavin Hamilton, (from him his mother lcaacd a furm) an early and generous friend. Most of his Poems, during the three years he resided here, from his 25th to hi 28th year, were written. I am surprised in finding upon tho Register kept for visiters ut the Birthplace of Burns, tho name of but very few Americans. In looking back for the last four months I noticed the names of three of my countrymen, one of which was that of Professor Mussy of Boston. The Glasgow and Ayr Railway, though undertaken with serious doubts of its answering the hope ot stockholders, proves a most profitable investment It is fifty miles in length and run through Paisley, Johnstone, Lochwinnock, Beith, Kilbirnie, Dairy, Saltcoats, Kilwinning, &c. which are manufacturing towns ; and through Irvine, (a beautiful place,) Troon, Monkton, Prestwich, Ayr, Sic, which are upon the sea coast and commercial in their pursuits. The capital stock was 520,000, most of which was subscribed by tho merchants of Glasgow. Forty per cent, ouly had been culled when the Railway was completed. Its stock is at or above par. 1 allude more particularly to this subject now for the purpose of remarking that but fur the circumslanco that this Railway was to approach tho birth-place of Burns, Uie stock would not have been taken, nor would the way havo been constructed. Thi circumstance popularized tho onterprize. Many capitalist ventured to tuke stock who, but for the charm which Burns has thruwn aruund Ayr and Alloway, would havo held their hands. Nor was this view of the question too poetical. A considerable item in the receipts of the company is derived from visitors to the Birthplace of Burns. THE OLD BAY STATE ITS. MANUFACTURES.Every stream is made to contribute its power to give motion to muchiiiery. The ungrateful soil of a great portion of the State places them under the necessity of resorting to some other resources fur supplying tho moro favored agriculturist of tho west witli a return for the products of a moro fertile soil. Though tho interval lands arc productivo and valuable, yet their limited extent, compared with the population, and the exceeding roughness of the mountainous sections, which present most forbidden appearance to tho western furincr, must forever pre vent them from being an agricultural people. The comparative density of population, the unrivaled water power, the contiguity to the seaboard, and an in- ustnous and enterprising population, will always make New England the manufacturing portion of the United States. The diversity of Manufactures surprising to those who never visited the land of V-..lrnn t'l. r e ..: 1 .tlUlVU IIUUUIH,, J 1IU JJIUUUUIIUII Ul OrilCieH OI U.- tlmg importance in thoiuselvcs, is often made a very tensive business. The condition of tl.o manufactories is now most flourishing. Every establishment is filled with busy orkmcn, and tho denfuning clank of machinery is heard from all quarters, while with astonishing rapidity some useful article is produced, which finds a market, perhaps in tho remotest purls of tho earth, visited by Yankee vessels. Tho business is moBllv carried on to answer orders, which aro sufficient to p it unusually brisk. No kind of business seem. id lo he stagnated, and but little comolaint of hard Ulrica was nearo among the enterprising and nidus-trinos mechanics and manufacturers. 1 hough almost every considerable village in the State has some branch of manufactures carried on, and some largo ones are built up entirely by tho business, nothing of the poverty, ignorance and crime uucuuani upon uie r.ngnsi. system, is seen among them. The education of the children in manufacturing places is guarded with commendable care, and probably there aro no better schools found in the State, than in these villuffes. As the schools are supported by a general tax on property, and tho mo ney upponiunoa to cacti district in proportion to tho number of scholars, between Uio aires of four and sixteen ; these plucos draw a large share of the public money, being very compact they havo more the advantages of schools than many small district re mote and with a more sparse population.

Much to the credit it those who liavo the care of these establishments. they generally feel disposed to carry out the design of the law. Olio great ohjection to tho factory system, is the lose confinement to labor, which is ccncrullv ro- ipiircd being twelve or thirteen hour a day. Consequently, there is a tendency to physical deircneni- cy produced by so close confinement and o little exercise in Uio open air. 1 hero is also a strong tendency to neglect the educntion of the females in do mestic unties, i ncso cnecis are not yet very obvi ous, as the otierativc aro mostly female from the contiguous country, who seek employment in these places, in preierence to doinir housework, or course these places are the favorite resort of the bruiu rotn the country around, and many a fuir operative taken from the dusty cotton mills, snd initiated into the domestic duties ot the hottsewtlo. The evils of tho neirloct of their educatiun for do moslic duties, eventually become alarming. When once the inhabitant become acquainted only with manufacturing business, and improvidence and poverty prevont their relircinir from it thev must be come under the control of a capriciou agent and tno subservient tool ol an aristocracy more to be dreaded than any ordinary anstocralic power; and then when depression of business takes place, misery n its most hideous form .oust stare litem in tho face. This condition of things, the moral and intellectual ducatiun of tho people, tends to avert, and we have little reason to anticipate the state of degradation in these places that is found in English manufacturing places. Still there are often tyrannic powers exorci- lod, which would not be submitted to by tho inde pendent yeomanry ol Uie country, and It require tho utmost vigilance, often, to prevent the encroachments of the capitalists on the dependents, who are driven to these places for employment and subsistence for tnn.nseive alio lalmlies. I he present condition of the manufacture, is ve ry flattering to the friend of domestic industry and also to those ot education and morality, and portions they may always be mado to continue as favorable.

A writer in the Bufliilo Commercial gives a very interesting account of this great work which he calls 'The Appian Way of the Republic, stretching in neurly a straight line from Cumberland in Maryland, to the Mississippi at St Louis, leveling hills and filling up valleys with embankments, which seem the work of Titans. Its culverts are faced with cut stone of the best workmanship: and not a tiickling rivulet of a few inches in breadth, or apparently trifling slough occurs in its course, for which ample and permanent sluice-ways are not provided at a cost in each individual inslanco that would erect a common bridge over quite a stream. Its bridges are most superior structures, built of tho bost materials, and being protected from the action of the element by "good roofs, will last for sovoral generations. 'I he pier and abutments on which they repose are of cut stone, clamped together in the strongest manner.The plan of bridging adopted on thi road is uniformly that of parallel arches, rising on on each sido to a height ol some twelve or httecn feet from tho floor of the bridge, and formed by stiff plank placed transversely, and pinned through and through at each point of juxtaposition, making an infinite number of braces in oil directions, and rendering the sagging or swnying of the structure almost an impossibility. The bridgo over which tho National road crosses the Scioto, at Columbus, is one of the best built on the roud, and although of great spun, has but one pier in the centre to sustain the wide stretched arch. Yet when haavily loaded teams aro passing over it, scarce a perceptible jar is felt such is its solidity. The length of the road is H00 miles, of which only !i02 miles of continuous Macadamized road, from Cumberland to Springfield, Ohio, ha been fully finished. There are other small portions Macadamized where there is considerable local travel. The plan adopted in the construction of tho Cum- borlund Road renders it cost much greater than that of the common Macadamized turnpikes.. The width of its locution is eighty feet; of the graded road UO feet; the track Macadamized is 120 feel wide, and covored with broken limestone to the depth of 9 inches. In many instances, pursuing its direct unvarying line, hills are encountered through which its path had to he cut, frequently by blasting away the solid rock, and wide deep valley were to be crossed, rendering very long and heavy embank ments indcspensable. As a specimen of the extra ordinary character of somo portions of tho work may bo adduced the estimated cost ot a section ot two miles, commencing seventy one mile west of lndionupolis, on tho Wabush bottom, across that river from Torre Haute, being nearly 1 10,000. The bridging and masonry required on that same short section will cost in addition, about ,-50,000 making these two milea alono uf that road figure up to the tune ol jatO.OoO a mile. Tho average cost of the rood in Ohio, is $1 1,000 per mile. For the unfinished portion the estimate in Ohio is $14,000, Indiana (1-21,000, and Illinois i'i 1,000. About one-half the cost in Ohio wa for Macadamizing, one fourth for bridges and masonry, and ono quarter for oiening and grading. Of the finished portion of the road 1)11 mile lie in Maryland and Virginia, 171 mile in Ohio, 0 milea in Indiana, and !t in Illinois. AGRICULTURAL FAIRS.

THE DEATH OF DR. LINN. The circumstances attending the death of Senator LIMN, have not we believe, been correctly stated in any quarter. Dr. Lwn was, up to the evening of the 2d instant, in the enjoyment of unusually good health. He wa then busily engaged in preparing some business, intending on the next day to visit St Ijouis. In the afternoon, when stooping to search lor some papers in a trunk at his side, he raised hi head suddenly, and asked' Mrs. Linn if hi face appeared flushed, as he felt exceedingly dizzy, and there eoomed to bo a general determination of blood to the head. The painful sensation, however, loon passed off, and ho resisted the suggestion that he should be bled. During the evening, and to a lato hour in the night, he was busily employed in correspondence and other matters, and when he retired he was indisposed to sleep. When Mrs. Linn rose in the morning, he requested that he might not be disturbed, Baying that ho would endeavor to sleep en hour or two. He soon fell into a slumber, apparently gentle and refreshing. When visited two or three times, he wa still found in tins state, and thore wa no disposition to disturb him. It wa not until near 12 o'clock of the 3d, that Mrs. Linn approached his bedside to awaken him. She attempted to do so, but in vain. Calmly and placed without a sigh, or the change of a single feature of his benevolent countenance hnd life passed away. Three or four hour afterwards, there was a profuso bleed ing from the mouth and nostrils. bt. Lmms JVeto Erie. Grapes City Culture.
