3jTiic election for PrcMilcntial Klcctors in our town last Tues
day, passed off quietly; and although nowlty. ppihaps as much a:,
any other feeling, piompted -attendance at the polls, Mill there was
a respectable vole as in numbers. Wc regretted however, that ro
few from the country were present. This no doubt icptil'.cil from
the opinion generally entertained, that it was a onesided business,
and that their aid was not neces-miy to carry the Democratic ticket
in Texas. It,w?s observed at the polls, that most of thobc who
voted the Whig-ticket wcec strangers who happened to be in the
city at the time, these appeared ill at ease, and were apparently
strays from the Whig fold. The Democratic Electors all received
171 votes each, with ihc exception of Dooley, who received 170.
The highest vote on ihc Whig ticket was 'or Ochiltree and Ep-
pen.on. who received each 21 voles.

THE APPORTIONMENT IULL.
Much has been said pro and con of the Act of the last Legislature
apportioning the representation in our State Legislature , and while
wc arc as warm advocates'of economy in the administration "1 oni
-State government, and of representation based upon the uumeiieal
strength .of population, as any of our colemporaries of the press, yet
at the same time we are of those who think no emergency a sufii-
cient excuse for a palpable violation of the Constitution, which Is.
the great protector of the minority against an interested and fanati
cal majority. Should the "apportionment bill" be permitted to re
main on our statute book as a "law of the land," it will be a suffi
cient precedent to Justify any other violation of that sacred instru
ment which has for its object the security of the rights of our citi.
zens. And yet in the face of all this, there are those of our brethren
, of the press, who sneeringly .stigmatize the endeavors made use of
to remedy the existing evil, by styling them "factious movements
By reference to the Constitution, and a comparison of this ''appor
tionment bill" with its provisions, is the only method of ascertaining
whether it should be regarded as a nullity or as a lav having just
force and effect. In our-judgment, it is an act in violation of the
plain letter and spirit oi the Constitution To satisfy themselves
let our citizens read the 34th Section of the 7ih article of ihe Con-
stitution, the latter clause of which is as follows : "Every new coun-
ty as to the right of suffrage and representation, shall be considered
as a part of the county or counties from which it was taken, until
entitled by numbers to' the right of separate representation." Lan-
guage cannot be plainer than this. To our mind, it seems that the
jnost captious quibbler, can make nothing more of it than will at
once strike any one of plain common sense. And is ihe Act under
consideration In accordance with the foregoing clause of the Con-
stitution 1 Surely the most enthusiastic admirer of the bill cannot
pretend that it is. As an illustration of the manner in which this
provision oi the Constitution is disregarded by the bill, we will cite
a few instances : Caldwell and Travis Burleson and Bastrop
Horton and Jackson, &c, are indiscriminately thrown together in
violation of this section of the Constitution, and in utter disregard
of the wishes of the citizens thus transferred. The same may be
saiaTrmosToTTIitf new xroautles, bomeof which were created by
the last Legislature, and none of which, so iar as any official infor-
mation shows, had population sufficient to entitle them to a "sepa-
rate representation ;" yet all this seems to the Northern Standard as
the very cream of consistency and propriety ; and even the Houston
Telegraph holds forth most triumphantly as follows: "It (the Ap-
portionment bill) has been signed by the Speaker of the House ol
Representatives, the President of the Senate and the Governor, and
has been officially promulgated," and alter delivering himself of
such important facts for the edification of the masses, Dr. Moore
asks, with an air of mingled complacency and exultation, "Who
then, can question its validity!" So it seems, that in order to give
any thing the force and effect of a law, it has only to be signed by
the proper officers and promulgated. In another place, the Tele"
graph considers the only question for the Judiciary to decide in
this matter, is, "whether the law as it appears on the statute book
. conflicts with the Constitution!" Here is an admission, that if it
does, it is of course null and void. The editor also states that "the
apportionment has been made as nearly equal as practicable," We
are at a loss to know how this fact has bsen arrived at, when we
consider that there were a number of new counties made all over
the State at the last session, the inhabitants of which had not been
"enumerated, and which have been attached to other counties o,-
which they were never a component part, in violation of the Con.
Mitution. JSfo census returns having yet been made of those new
'counties, it is a mere guess whether their representation is fairly
apportioned or not.
' The preceding remarks were not prompted by any unkind feel-
ings cherished by us for those who advocate the measure, or dis-
satisfaction en account of the provisions of the b'll, so far as they
J affect our interest here, but in justification of our fellow-citizens of
the middle and western counties, who feel that there has been an
infraction of the Constitution in this instance. Beside, lho.se of
our citizens who have Instigated this movement, have done so with
the hope of averting a state of things which will inevitably be pre-
sented at the next session of the Legislature, viz : the anomaly of
one portion of the Legislature being elected under the old law, and
another portion under the new.
Geo. Wilkins Kendall, Esq., of the "Picayune," who is now
travelling in Europe, writes from Hamburg that he has been una-
ble to continue his correspondence, owing to the state of his healthy
He considered himself, however, convalescent at the date of his
jiote. He says the cholera is in that city, and on the increase; also
in the city of Berlin, but owing to the diseased state of the body
politic, it excites little alarm.
A foreigner, on observing the struggles and throes of the grea,
' body politic, which precede an election for President and Vice Pre
sideat of the Unitd States, might consider the " mountain labor''
an apt illustration ; but to our mind, there is something indescriba-
bly grand and interesting in the harmonious movement of a
nation of twenty millions of freemen, all striving to elevate two
of our most praiseworthy and patriotic citizens to the highest offices
in the world. We must acknowledge we felt a pride the other
day in casting our vote for ihe distinguished men who head the
Democratic ticket, believing as we did, that we were contributing
our mite to the permanency and prosperity of our beloved country.
Although we differed with our Whig friends in the choice of men,
still charity prompts us to the bcliel that they were equally consci-
entious and honest as ourselves in casting their votes. Vive la Re
jjtiblique!

33-Thc Editor of the 'Northern Standaid, who iltteouisi- mo-.t
eaincdlyand luminously upon the me! its of ihc Apportionment
Rill under the caption of "The Governor and the Extra Session,'"
makes use of the following language: "But of course the Wests
which has long enjoyed the advantages of an undue tepresentaiion,
i s unwilling to yield it without a sti uggle, and he:ice the sturdy and
united effoit to throw opprubiiusn upon ihe present Appouiunuiciit
Art." In the above quotation will b'j recognized three distinct alle-
gations: 1M. That the West has been unduly represented hereto-
fore; 2d, That it-is unwilling to submit to a fair and Constitutional
apportionment, and consequently, oil. It is united in effort to "tbiuw
opprbbiium upon ihe pre enl apportionment act." As to the first,
the Editor admits in the lot mcr part of his atiicle on the subject.
UaTliilherto, the presentation was no more than just under the
circumstances: therefore it needs no reply . The other twoasser
ions are entirely gratuitous. The West has never demanded, nor-
has it enjoyed any "undue" representation ; at least no more than
w.ts guaranteed by the Constitution. No concert of ncihm has
been had in the frcst, individual counties have moved in inc mat-
ter, bin so far as we are appt ised, there has been no "united'' action
upon the subject. Nciihci have they endeavored to "throw oppro-
biium" upon it; for wneu il fell into the hands of the nurse, tho
'bantling' had the deep rtesh-marks ot "opprobi i;tm'! upon iis every
lineament, and needed no touches ul a:t to render it more detesta-
ble. Thi-. sapient Major appei! ? to the ci.i'viu ot ihe K lsi.nd in.
vi.es tin in to make romuuai tail .0 v. i;h tho North against the pam-
pered and factious West ! This Ei'iforonce affected to onlig'iseu
our citizens upon the Mthject of finance, over ihe signature of
"Hamilton !" but we have never heaul of but one person who va
interested in hi-; effusions, jnd thai was the writer und we doubt
not his notions of ivprcentatton and apposlionmcnu will have
about ihe same weight at the North. The middle counties and the
East, have tho greatest icasoii to complain of the ihib.'rnl provi-
sions of the bill, while all gaad citizens throughout the State, who
repaid the Constitution rts their Afcgna Czarlu, should unite in
tlciimusciiigaml disavowing any paternity in ihisaboiiion called the
Appottiimmunt Bill.
itjWe would call niieniiou to the advertisement of Johnson &

Winter. The Boston Journal of the 9th nil., says, "There wa
a heavy frost in th;s city and vicinity last night. Ice- was formed
the eighth of an inch thick. The fotests in the interior have don-
ned their beautiful many-colored mamle, and ihe fall of the leaf
reminds us thai winter will soon be upon us."
With us, on the 4th and 5th nights of the present month, we had
slight frosts, just sufficient !o crip the tender plant, and pmily the
atmosphete. The prairies and Toiesls still present a verdant ap-
pearance, slightly interspersed with the hue ot the "sere and yellow
leaf," while the weather is as bland as the month of May.
The Jews ol Pennsy Ivani a, by a late proclamation of Gov. John-

worshipping Almighty God, and invited them also to participate in
the solemnities of the da'. This nncient people are said to number
in Pennsylvania, 13,000 souls, and have in Philadelphia five syna-
gogues for public worship.

FOURTH DESPATCH.
ONE WEEK LATER FROM EUROPE !
Arrival of lltk Stcrmer Europa.
The news is far more important than any wo have
received for a long while. The conviction and sen-
tence of Smith O'Brien will touch every heart. Wc
cannot think he will be executed. The revolution in
Austria seems to have followed straightway upon the
declaration of her policy towards Northern Italy, which
latter would have brought on, we should suppose, a
general war.
The appcatutice of the cholera in Great Britain is
hardly unexpected, but it gives 11 more sombre charac
ter to the other news, il would seem to be very viru-
lent. The commercial accounts aie also of a gloomy
character.
With profound regret wc learn by our first despatch
of the death of the Lion. Dixon II. Lewis, one ol the
Senators from Alabama.
Charleston, Oct. 25, 1 1 p.m. The steamship Eu-
ropa lias arrived. Her reports are that cotton is fiat
and in favor of the buyer. Nothing is done in it be-
yond the immediate wauls of the Hade. The sales
of the week amount to S0U0 bales. Upland is quoted
at 3 1-S to 3J ; Orleans 3 3 S to 3 5-1 ; Sea Island 71
to 1G.
Privisions are unchanged. Wheat is in moderate
demand and prices unchanged. Flous is dull and
freely offered at the last quotations, flleal is quoted at
17 to IS shillings.
Consols arc quotecWat 85 3- to 85 j.
Rice has declined. Tsic

Smith O'Brien has been found guiity and recommen-
ded to mercy by the jury. Events, however, forbid
fso says the despatch, the exoicisc of the roval cle
mency and it was supposed that he was hunguhc day
Ihc steamer sailed.
Austria has issued a manifesto bringing to a termi-
nation tho proposed mediation of England and France
in ihe a (lair of Italy, and declaring Lombardy and the
Venitian Kingdom part of the Austrian empire.
It was rumored in Paris that the French Ministry
had tendered their resignations, but Cavaiguae had
declined accepting them, declaring his intention to hold
on until tho constitution is adopted and the President
elected. The election takes place about the 15th Nov.,
as the constitution will be adopted about the 1st.
There has been a successful revolution in Vienna.
The Minister of War was murdered, and hung to a
lamp-post. The Emperor and his family iled. "The
city was in the possession of the people. A provision-

An alliance offensive and defensive was entered into
with Hungary. Circular.-? vurc issued otating that all
possible measures had been adopted'for the defence of

Charleston, Oct. 20. The cholera has broken
out in London and in Scotland. Twenty-five cases
have occurred in Edinburgh, of which twenty proved
fatal. Thcnty cases have been rcpoited in London.
. The following arc the words of O'Brien's sentence :
" That you be taken from hence to the place from
which you came, and be thence drawn on a hurdle to
tho place of execution, and be there hanged by the
neck until you be dead, and that afterwards your head
be severed from your body, and your body divided in
four quarters, to be disposed of as her Majesty please:
and may God have mercy on your soul." -
Late and Important froiu TAr.iPico. A move-
ment was made on the night of the 29th ult., by the
National Guard of Tampico, for the purpose of banish-
ing the military from the town ; the force of the latter
was about 1GS men. Their reasons for taking this step
was that the military intended to disarm the National
Guard, and pronounce for Santa Anna as soon as their
force should be stronger; and a reinforcement of GO
men was already en route to join them from Tula, and
another' large one from Iluasteca. The National
Guard consisted of about 150 men, armed with mus-
kets ; and thoy congregated in front of the court house
and demanded" thaif the ay mil's 'menio should be con-
voked, which having been effected, they demanded
that the military should be ordered to leave. A mess
age was then sent to Col. Tenorio, in command of the
mil
re;
the
while ho would retain his position in the Military
Hospital, and not having any thing to do with tho
town. This was refused by the commissioners named
by the National Guard, Mcs'srs. Pablo Castilla and Jose
II. Gonzales. Things remained in this state until
next morning, the 30th, when two commissioners were
sent by the military to sec if they could come to some
other "more advantageous terms, but tho National
Guard continued firm, saying they must leave imme-
diately. The commander-in chief of the National
Guard, Manuel Solorsano, being frightened, new re-
fused to be, as he said, at the head ofa"sedition, and in-
sulted Pablo Castiila with some expressions, when the
pooplcof the town and the National Guard cried "Death
to Solorsano,' and Castiila put himself at their head,
and at 10 o'clock-, P. M. the Naehmalcs being eager to
fight, were formed at the court house. The shops of
the town were closed, and every thing wore the sem-
blance of a row. Amongst tho National Gurud were
many men who had figured in the Federal cause in
183S.
All, however, was stopped by the military offering
to evacuate on the following morning, (the 1st of Oct.)
This, however, Col. Tenorio did not do alleging that
he was not ready. His object obviously was to gain
time, and get in the reinforcement from Altamira.
The National Guard was now much excited, and To-
norio wrote in a promise to leave on the 2d, at 3 o'-
clock, V. M.j which was granted. During the inter-
vening night, a party, consisting of about 30 men, un-
der Acljut'anl JosO II. Gonzales, succeeded in effecting
an entrance into tho houe of the American Consul.

design seeking their fortunes in ihc distant, but beau-
tiful country on the Pacific, have formed themselves
into a society, under the name of "The California

istence some time, and it has taken measures to supply
its membcis with all the information in regard to the

ject and other sources. The society holds regular

tend to retain much of this stock themselves, or to put
it into market, but to transfer it to various other par-
ties, whom they represent, for permanent investment.
Arrival of Mr. Coopkr. Mr. J. M. Cooper, the
celebrated originator in America of the method of
procuring water by boring into the earth, and whose

Orleans. Mr. Cooper is one of those persevering men
in every thing that ho undertakes, that he was never

catching mackerel. The crews of vessels of all sizes,
from 5 tons up to 125, wore busily engaged the wholo
day ; and, according to several estimates made by some
of the oldest inhabitants of Gloucester, it is supposed
that at least 12.000 barrels have been taken, valued at
ftlOO.000. A n excellent day's work this. The mack-
erel were very near all No. l's, some vessels from tho
south shore, with crews of fourteen men and boys,
caught over 100 barrels each, and put into Gloucester
on Tuesday evening to "pack out," and get a fresh sup-
pi vol' salt. .
A friend informs us that thospart was indescribably
exciting. Towards evening the mackerel struck off
towards the south shore and were followed by about
300 sail of fishing vessels. The mackerel excitement
at ' 'ape Ann seems to be quite equal to the gold ex-
