The contest yesterday was active and spirited in all the though, so far as have heard, with good temper generally. The office-holders and their retainers. were exceedingly busy of course; and although there was perhaps than the expenditure of money on their prt ou some occasions, and less than the usual amount of colonisation and "pipe laying," they brought out their strength in nearly every form, and with great exertion and activity.

1 he result although we do not carry a majority of the Common Council nor the Mayor is a moral victory for the Democracy. We carry four of the ten wards by large majorities, and tt--ike down the federal majorities in three of their six wards to 12, 27 and 36. And tho "whig" candidate for Mayor succeeds in the city, by only EIGHT votes. The Junto are literally driven to the wall. The democratic gain is great and decisive.

In the present Common Council we have but one member. In the next, under the new organization, wc have 8.

ROBBERY! AND ROBBER ARRESTED. On the night of the 9th inst. a trunk was stolen from the stage two miles west of it Chambersbunr, which contained a letter from Poindexter, Rhey, Co. to Ja.Beat- ty, Lsq. Baltimore, containing 1 iy, principally in Virginia paper.

Also, a letter from Dalzell, Taylor. fe Co. to W. K. Thompson Co.

Philadelphia, containing 1 in bank notes $dU0, and checks ana malts to a large amount. Also, two letters ad dressed by Breatly, Shipton and Hogg, to Willaim E. Majhew and enclusihg money and drafts to a large a-mount together with other letters, drafts, checks, reward was offered for the recovery of the property. During last week an Irishman came down the turnpike from the west, and cut up a good many capers in this town and neighborhood, buying and trading horses, running races, and spending money as if it possessed no -value. Suspicion having been a-roused and information arriving that a robbery had been -committed near Chambers-burg, he was arrested cm Friday last by Mr.

Benpmiu Williams and lodged In our jail. Persons interested have come on and have identified the money which he had in his possession at the time he was apprehended as the money talcen from (he letter of Poindexter, Rhey, Co. There was left of it between 6900 and $1000. He calls him Belf illiam Thompson. It is pn-bable that he had accomplices in the robbery, who loot the remaining letters for their share of the spoils.

CarroBtonian. Embezzlement and Robbery. Thomas L. Budd, Book Keeper in the Union Bank of this city, was thrown into jail on Satur day niglu the 3d instant, on the charges ol feloniously embezzling the funds of the Bank, by false entries, and of purloining from the vault, one or more packagps of the circulating notes of the institution, amounting to about eighteen xhousand dollars to the first of which charges, we understand, he confessed on judicial examination. TJe accused has heretofore borne a fair character, not only for honesty but Christian piety.

He has had charge of the Individual Le get of the Bank, for the last four years, and i I appears he had practised a system of false entries and forced balances, for a period of at least two years, anterior to his detection and exposure. The amount embezzled in this way is believed unot to exceed ten thousand dolkrs; probably not more than eight or nine thousand. The stolen packages have not yet come to light. The penalty for embezzlement, is fixed by the charter of the Bank at not less than five nor more than twenty years confinement in the State Prison Bait. Pat.

Hill's (N. Patriot sums up the great result in this patriotic Slate: Democratic majority for Page, Governor, eight thousand four Democratic Counsellors and otie Federalist; ten Democratic and uvo Federal Senators; and of the two hundred and fifty members of the House of Representatives not more than sixty are Federalists. Tristam Shaw, Ira A. Eastman, Charles G. Ather-ton, Edmund Burke, and John R.

Reding, Democrats, are elected to Congress by a-bout eight thousand majority. All h.iil.the Granite State! We respond to the remarks of the Patriol: "New Hampshire, in the first State elec tion for set an example to her sis- ter States, the moral force of which will be felt and imitated throughout the Union. 'fThis election gives assurance that the Dem- -ocracy will stand in its position, and that 01 the heterogeneous materials which, by fair i means 3nd were brought to act aganis them in the last election, can never be united ious at the the of that but who we and day you say 11 bill ual for is 1 I ing, when, as they well know, his every action of an official character is performed under a solemn oath. When he sees objec tions to a law which the Legislature may end to him, he only has two alternatives left to him he must either refuse to ap prove the law, or else approvn it and disregard the solemn oath which he hat taken upon himself. No intelligent citizen would ask of him, or any other person, to adopt the latter and nothing but a vain hope to manufacture political capital oat of their de nunciations can be the motive which has actuated the federal papers in their out-cry a gainst him.

If, however, they were honest enough to lay the reasons of the Gover nor before their readers, and afford each one an opportunity to judge of the propriety the course, much of the unfairness of their conduct would vanish but so lost are they to the feelings that should ever govern hon-orablo individuals, that they conderau Gov. Porter, and yet do not a fibril their readers an opportunity to see the grounds upon which he bases his actions. Such has always been the character of federalism, and it appears that unfairness and falsehood will ever remain the governing principles of the leaders ol that party. MELANCHOLY. Mr.

Mchhchner, from Dover, York county, a student of Pt'iins) lvania College, lett this place for Shippcusburg, on foul, to take charge of a school, we believe, in the storm of tho 6th March last. His Iriends here supposing him to be at Shippensburg, and those there that he had been prevented from starting, he was not missed for several weeks when search was commenced, and yesterday a body (doubtless his) was found ou the mountain, -bout 5 miles south of that place. The Natchez Free Trader says On Sat- uruay we saw a ten dollar gold piece sold for $100 in Mississippi Railroad notes, and, on Monday, a common Marseilles vest brought SI 00 in notes of the Miesi Shipping Company. This is going hack to continental quotations. J'ennsylv union.

Settling the difficulty. Both the political panius of the day lay claim to the name ol the Uemocratic part and a great deal of confusion necessarily arises from the fact The Boston Transcript proposes to settle the difficulty, by adding a few words to the name. The Van Buren portion of the leuiocratic party to be called. "Democrats of long standing," and the Federal por tion of the Democratic parly to be called "Democrats of short standing." These names will be sufficiently distinctive, and will leave each to enjoy the title they so jealously claim. From the Pennsylvanian.

DEMOCRATIC REPUBLICAN CANDIDATE For Governor, DAVID R. PORTER. LEGISLATIVE ADJOURNMENT. Both Houses of the Legislature, a few days since, passed a resolution to adjourn on the 27th inst. but again rescinded it.

No time is now fix. ed for adjournment, and no opiuion can be formed when that event ill take piace though the sooner our wise ones disperse, who have been doing almost nothing but talking during re session, the better it ill bo for the GEN.

We have been informed that it will bo published in pamphlet form, in order to render it more easy of prcserva tion. AN HONORABLE OPPONENT. On the 15th in the Senate of this State, Mr.

Sullivan, one of the members from the District composed of Allegheny Butler counties, made the annexed remarks. The position which he assumes is the one all the honorable opponents of Gov. Porter will take, and does credit to the gentleman. Mr. Sullivan is opposed to Gov.

Porter, and from a district which contains a large ma jority of federalists but he accords that jus- lice to the Governor, which is so ungallant-ly denied him by the great majority of those who are his opponents in politics. trust that the federal papers will feel the force of the rebuke administered to them; and cease their disreputable abuse of Gov. Porter for doing what he conscientiously believes to be his duty, in obedience to the solemn promise which he has made to people and to the Supreme Ruler ofthe orld. Mr. SULLIVAN thought that fteretad been "Much ado about He was tired ofhearjngHhe power of the Executive questioned upon every trivial question.

He denied that the Legislature was to take all the responsibility. 1 he (iovernor was re quired to examine the bills passed.

He was to exercise his own judgment, and Senators have no right to question it.

Mr. S. referred to the provisions of the bill in question, to authorize religious societies to hold leases for burial grounds and churches, and for other purposes and said he did not think there was any necessity for this interference of the Executive. But if the Governor thouaht there was, he had a perfect right to veto the bill. He ho-pd that the Governor would always pay as much attention to the rights of single citi zens as to any larger matter that might come oetore turn.

A number of the federal papers, for some weeks past, have been, to use the language of one of their own partiz3ns, now a mem ber of the State Senate, making "Much ado about nothing," because Gov. Porter has believed it to have been his duty to hold his signature from several bills passed by the Legislature. Being at a loss to find objections to the excellent manner in which the government of this Commonwealth has been administered since it passed into the hands of Gov.

Porter, thev now attempt to get up an excitement against him on account 0f his firm and unvieldinir character. The: in which the people of Pennsvlva-I nia treated the false tales, so industriously circulated against the candidate of the Dem-1 ocralic party prior to the last election for Governor, have made even ihosc who were the most active in bringing them out ashamed of them, as well as of their own conduct. Their present attempt, with regard to the exercise of the veto power granted to lhe Governor by the Constitution of the State, will be alike inutile in destroying the well grounded confidence which the people have in the integrity and uprightness of Gov.

An overwhelming majority arc, we believe, gratified with the alteration and us effects. There are none of those complaints now, of idle (fc incompetent judges, which lor.nerly existed. We do not allege that all consider every judge as the best man who could have been selected, but they bclhve them better men, anu more industrious than were lounu under the old system.
