Biyih KitM thecaso under our toft constitution, and such hat, to a very considerable extent, been the practice hitherto under it. We do not mention these things for (he purpose of finding fault with the ignorance ol the past; for there tuny have been much good sense in a custom adhered to in times of ignorance ss much, perhaps, as in abandoning that custom when knowledge bus been more widely disseminated. Formerly, men inquired who got the largest number of votes. Now, the only question asked is : ' who gets the certificate of election ' " One man gains the majority as nn offcet, the certificate is given to his opponent. Thus the equilibrium is preserved, and the demands of Democratic equality are answered. And what constitutes the right to the certificate of election? How can anybody ak ? The Whigs gel the votes; the Lueofocos get the certificates and secure the scats. Once seated, they will not easily be induced to leave their soft vsrui petitions. Three dollars a day and the fix ins, are strong inducements to hold nn to what you have got and get all you can. The right to a certificate consists in Locofocoism, and it is given to all needy Ijocofocos throughout the State, on the requisition of the Committee of Public Safely. This is a much easier way to secure a majority in the Legislature, than to do it by voting, especially when votes are scarce, and the pnrty in the minority.! And in the opinion of the Locofocos, it auswurs just as well The three dollars tells just as heavily in the , pocket- the vote counts as much on the calling of the ayes and nays; ami in Locofoeo estimate, there is no d -.forty ice between fame and infamy, both being equally desirable. 1 There is neither a Whig, nnr a Locofoeo in the State, who is informed upon the subject, that doubts that the Whigs have entitled themselves by votes fairly given, to a majority of at leant four hi the next House of Representatives; and yet the session will probably commenco with a Locofoeo majority of about lint number. The question of right and wrong, in this matter, tho Locofocos do not discuss. It is enough for them that they have the power, and that they have the means to keep it. And keep it they most certainly will. What they will do with it must depend upon circumstances; and as yet they are themselves, doubtless, very much undecided. The invention of obtaining a majority by fraudulent certificates, was a late one too late to be applied as fully it may be some future year. It procures them a majority in one House only, at a time when they expected nothing less than a Itucua Vista defeat. Great truth in morals and politics have frequently been discovered by accident. The discovery that a certificate of election is belter than the election itself, is doubtless one of these. It will do much to simplify oui form of government, and relieve the people of the heavy duties of nomination! and elections. Let us hope that the discoverers will have the full benefit of their invention, and live long to enjoy it. Our Cnudidnte. The Locofoeo attack Gen. Taylor, and charge him with having no talt-uls. The Free Boilers with equal xeal, charge him with having no principles, lk-tween them both, it would seem as if the "old man," (as John Van Huren calls him) would be forced losurrrn der, although as yet he is quite as much unused to that as he is to civil olhce-liolding. It is rather funny, however, that a party that made a 1'reaidciit out of the materials furnished by as poor a stick as Jimmy Polk.should talk of talents, or that a party that lias been driven to take an old opponent and turn him wrong side nut in order to transform him into a candidate, should say much about principles ; and it can be only accounted for upon the ground that each party is especially wakeful to its own deficiencies, and is constantly suspecting the existence of similar ones in others. The Whigs think that Old Zack will do, and they are determined to try him if he does not prove to be as honest as Martin Van Huren, and as talented as James K I'ulk, we shall be very much mistaken, and will agree to scknowledgctlial forty years of success ful and eminent services are not in every instance proof positive of fitness for further trusts. (P" The Free Boilers, with their IMS votes in this district, attempt to hide the iniquity of that political action of theirs which resulted in the election of 8 witter, by complaining because Iho Whig did not abandon their awn orgmiiiaiion, and transfer their up wards of eight thousand votes to tho Free Soil candi date, Mr. Wright. Their efforts to keep out of sight the criminal result of their acts will not besuccesslul They have nnt merely voted, lo throw away their Votes. They have aided in producing an important political result. For that result they are responsible. Claiming to bo the politicians of con science, if their consciences do not condemn them for (heir course in this behalf, they are the poorest specimens of the article that have come into use since hypocrisy wasinvented. Tn Electioh Ilosriitrs, Ac The boys had a good time on Saturday evening last.

Trying tho successive Administrations of our own Government by this test from its origin down to the present lime, the readers of our paper will find the subjoined compendious table of expenditures well worth a careful perusal. The contrast between the prodigality of the Democratic dynasty, and the economical expeuditnres of the Administrations which pre ceded the Democratic ascendancy, will strike every one, and, taken in connection with (he forcible remarks with which the article is prefaced in the paper from which wo copy it, must teach a wholesome lesson to all who are capable of forming a candid judgment National Intelligencer. From the New Bedford Mercury. I deem it important to call your attention to the fol-low'iigexposilion and slattaticiof expenaesof our Govern meiii, taken from the journal ol' Congress for every Administration, eommeiiciiig with George Washington's, and concluding with James K. folk's. It will be found correct, with the exception of the ex pen. dilures under President Polk's administration, which are probably under estimated at least sumo $o0,000,-000, it being stated on competent authority thut the Mexican war cost us two hundred ana tit I jr millions of dollars, which is tlio amount placed in the schedule below. Uy giving Mr rolk I lie beuetitot S.iO.OOO,- U0U, still, it will be observed, the increase of the ex- pen e a of the Government have become tremendous. What is very remarkable, and yet true and beyond contradiction, is, that every Locofor Administration uus cost anu taxi-u llie people -oi -n,, union vuy more than either of Iho Wing .,d ministrations. Thus it will be found that the wholu expenditures of Whig Government, commencing with Washington and ending with J. Q. Adams, during a period of forty years, (mid be it remembered the expenses of the Revolution, much of them were paid under Washington's govern uient, and all the charges occurring in consequence of the lout war with Gnat Britain, in Mr, Madison's,) the Locofoeo iroveriiments, commencing with General Jacknou's and terminating with Mr. Polk's, a period of twenty years, era run up to iho enormous sum of three hundrtd and thirteen million! sit hundred and fifty-two thousand and forty-seven dollars, over and aoove uie wing governments torlorty years a sum sulticient to have made internal improvements, deepening harbors and rivers of the West and South, and building piers for the harbors on the lakes and seaboard, to an extent that would have been for all time to come of immense beneht to our country; a sunt sufficient to have educated millions of poor children and placed school houses in every city, town and vil lage, me pntu tor learners lur many years. 11 ol vital iniportuucc to every friend of bin country to probe this subject to llie bottom, and ask why is it, and who has caused this exorbitant expenditure of national Ireu. sure, bhall our hard earnings continue to bo thus squandered by Locofoeo miiirule ? ticca pitulat ion of the Vn'Utd State Government Expen ses.

A Word to tho Whins of Ohio. The editor of the New York Courier and Enquirer, after summing up the result o the election in t'enu-aylvsnia, which lie thinks secures Ihe election of Taylor and Fillmore, thus addresses himself lu the Wings of Ohio: We do not mean to enter into any controversy now with regard to the expediency of having nominated Gen. Taylor. That act is wry rapidly vindicating itself from the sm-era of opponents end the distriiNt of timid friends, and when the Presidential con lent shall lie fairly over, we apprehend, few will be loiind blind enough to doubt that uo better nomination could possibly have been made. r mm Ohm llie returns, imman less inn, are also somewhat lets encouraging. Ford may be, and we think is r lee. led, but not by a majority large enough lu ensure the State for Taylor in November, without ihe most vigorous and determined effort. Wu hope surh efforts will be put forth, though we fear that the conviction that the vote of Ohio Will not le needed to so-oure Taylor's election will have a bud effect upon tho exertions of our friends. This ought not to be. Every inch of ground, v hrro there is a chance of success, ought to bo contented. Our opponents will renervu heir moat desperate efforts for their last. They have still lu reserve, vast resources nf fraud, falsehood and corruption which they will bring into play at the precise inomrnt when they can be made moatctlicarioiis. Let the Whigs, then, be on the wateh ready lo foil any villainy and to counteract any exertions winch the Locofocos may tiring lor ward. With union, vigilance and rnergetin action to the end, defeat is impossible. Without them, we shall deserve defeat, even 0 it do not come upon us. Roearav. Mr. I.

His answer wait, Gen. Taylor. 1 expressed some dissatisfaction at such a nomination ; and hu replied, that he preferred him to any other Southern man ; thai he believed him to be llie only man who could break down this corrupt administration, and close this miserable war; and would do more to curb the spirit of conuueal and check the spread of slavery, than any man Ihe Whigs could elect. Iu another conversation with him on thin subject, he expressed the name general views, and said ttiat Gen.

Yet practically, the truth of this doctrine is daily denied, and two out of the three parties into which the people of the United Stales arc divided, are openly setting it aside, iu favor of the authority of one man the President of Iho United Slates. Nothing can be more in conformity with tlte ideas of the fath era of the Republic in regard to the velo power, and the constitutional mode of using it, than Iho views of Gen. luylor as expressed in the Aliaon correspon deuce. And yet those views, sound and consistent as they are, have met with nothing but a shout of denun ciation from the Locofocos, and a hiss of derision from the advneates of a Freo Soil party Wtiat inference can be drawn from this state of. facts, but that these parties ask more from tho govern ment titan they think the people are willing to award to them, or that they distrust the intelligence- of the people as expressed by a government constituted according to the Constitution ? They are unwilling to trust tho popular voice, and seek a President whose ante-election pledges render him deaf to its declarations.The custom of ante-election pledges os to the fu lure course of the Executive of the United States is of extremely modern dale. Once when a man received the nomination of his party, ho was allowed, from his nomination to his election, to remain tho man ho was. Washington, Adams, Jefferson, Madison, and Monroe were nominated without either caucus or "platform " No one will pretend that election mat ters go any more smoothly or satisfatorily now than they did then, or that the people are any less liable to b disappointed in their man. Martin Van H-iren, when first a candidate for the Presidency, introduced llie custom of creating partic ular issues before Ihe people, at a Presidential election. Thetie issues were followed by pledges at his inauguration to support and carry out certain specified measures. From this has grown the practice of making the candidate for tho Presidency tho representative of certain form of doctrine, declared in a series of resolutions and called a platform. This platform the candidate must stand upon, if bo can, before his election, and make his rnlo of action afterwards. I'he President etect must do more than this. Such is the tyranny of party that the President of the party fs now called upon, not merely to allow certain things to be done, or prevented, but to use his influ ence or to interpose his veto to further the triumph of every dogma tn the platform, or to prevent the enact ment of its opposite. All the questions likely to arise during the Presidential term are declared in Ihe platform, and it is the duty of tho President lo his parly to carry them into practico by every means iu bis power. Tins makes Congress a cypher and overthrows the balances of (he Constitution. The annual sessions become a mere farce, the President being the legislator ; and makes Hie government a monarchy, in fact, while existing under the form of a republic. Prosiduutittl Aspects and Prospects. I 1 he Editor of the Tribune glances, on Saturday, at the aspect of the Presidential Canvass in Ihe several States of the Union. This view (which we copy) of the "Prospect" is clear and dispassionate, livery State claimed for Gen. Taylor is sure to go for him. And these give seven more F.lecloral Votes than are required to cleat. As the question now stands, basing our calculation upon the unerring Whig character of a certain number of Whig States, and the recent demonstration! of Gen. Taylor's strength in others, we may rely confidently upon his elevation to the Presidency. But there are, beyond the Slates known to be for Taylor, chances enough in his favor to render Ihe result almost certain. In the Tribune's table Georgia is given to Con. The October Flection, upon its face, may be supposed to leave Georgia dt bateable, but this is not really so. There were causes bearing upon the Whig candidates for Congress which will not affect the vote for President. Gen. Taylor, we are ossured, is much stronger in Georgia than the Congrevsinna Ticket. We set Georgia down in the Taylor column with entire confidence. Intelligent men of both parties deny that Wisconsin is for Cass, lit vote is said to be suro either for Taylor or Van Buren. Illinois looks and acts vastly like going for Taylor, but there is a great political gulf to be passed (here, and though strong assurances are given, we will not claim iho Stale. And finally, though the Ohio Slate Klection has strangely disap .-milled sll calculations, and as strangely disconcerted ill parlies, we do nut re up the Suite. On tlte contrary, if there be time to rally ami if our friends will it ally promptly and act etlicienlh, Ihey can retrieve their losses and redeem the Slate. Aud such an achievement would be worthy of themselves and their cause. It is a shame that Ohio, after stiller ittg so much from Locofocoism, and doing so much for a better cause, should now become a prey to tho destructives. She has, by the force uf circumstance. been occupying a false position. Let her inaku an immediate and manly effort to recover what has been lost. With Wh g strength enough to carry thu Stale triumphantly, Ohio should not incur the reproach or endure tho mortilicatiou of losing Iter Electoral Vole. Albany t,Bcning Journal.

For two month prior to the recent election it was publicly charged that Wki.lkr, the Lncofoco candidate for Governor, had been entrusted, by the people of Butler county, with that county's proportion of the Surplus Revenue. That he hnd, cctirtlrary to law and in violation of Ins duty, appropriated lo his own use a large 'portion of (he funds so entrusted to his care. That for a long period of time he persisted in retaining these funds, alter the law required of him to surrender them to the Treasurer uf the county. And that, at the latest advices suit hid been brought by Ihe fiuan cial officers of tint county against John B Weller, lo recover Ihe amount of funds thus confided lu hi care, and by him surreptitiously applied and wrongfully retained. In all th we are nut aware that there is any dispute touching Ihe facts. None of these positions, so far as we are udvised, waa attempted to be counteracted before the election. The attention of Mr. Weller was invited to the subjoct iu every possible way, while be wasctrcumaniliulating Ihe State in quest of vote but in tits public addresses he sludious'y avoided any explanation nt even allusion to the Surplus Kevenne of Butler county. Bui the election being over, and Butler county ha ving given her usual Locofoeo majority, it is claimed by the Statesman (and re tie ruled by those who habit ually take their rue from that paper, and adopt the rea- ily-made opinions which it vends,) that there was no tiulh in all that was said altoutthe connection of John II. Weller Willi the Surplus Revenue. That it was all vile slander; mere electioneering stuff, invented by llie State Journal, to impose upon the easy credulity of the Democrats, and induce them lo withhold their voles from Mr. Weller! Aid in support nf this position they point with an air of triumph to the vote of Butler county and ask if that looks as if John D. Weller was in any way a delinquent in refurenco to llie fund of tho county ! We do not see how the fact that t majority of the voters in Butler county adhere to the nominations of the Locofoeo party, can fairly be construed to invuli l.i tn the records of that county. If ihe Locofocos of Buller choose to put their hands in their own pockets, and discharge and pay off ttie delinquency of Mr. Weller, we have no objection. If the people of that county choose to pay it out ofthe county treasury, it ii a matter of their own, to which we raise no objec tion. Hut when they invito the people of other portions of (he Stale to bestow their confidence and suf frages upon one who has proved himself eminently unfaithf ul in discharging trusts they have reposed in him, it betrays, on Iheii part, a laxity of public morals for which the Ohio State Journal is in no way re pon tic From the tone of the Statesman, one would be led lo look for an immediate discontinuance of the suits hich have been for a longtime pending in the Buller Common Pleas against Weller, for the purpose of procuring the Surplus Revenue from his clutches. We almost woader that such a suit should have fceen commenced, by (he Democratic officers of such a De mocralic county, against so good and great a Demo rrut as John B. Weller, lata Democratic candidate for Governorof Ohio, and prospective Democratic candidate for federal favor, should tho Democratic parly be so fortunate as to elect that princo of old federal Dem. ocrsta, Lt:wts Cass, to diH'iie the extreme unction of Democracy In the shape nf federal patronage1. But so long a such a suit is upon the docket of But ler county, we must be pardoned for believing that John is not quite so pure a man as llie Statesman may choose to represent him and that the strong proba bility is that, having got possession of a large sum uf money which belongs to the people, he is disposed to practice upon his own understanding of ihe precept to hold fast that which is good." When Gov. Weller shall have discharged hit in debtedness to the Surplus Revenue Fund, we will not be backward in giving him tho benefit of an announce ment of that lact. Bui the Htatesmin's new position in relation to the matter will invite our attention to the subject, until the debt be paid, ur an execution be returned nd tuna.1 T1IK PROSPLCT.

The last preceding election has taken place, its issue is suhstatitly known, and we can now see as clearly as may be seen until llie Electoral ballots arc counted out of the boxes.

( Vrrm;n( may be lost to Taylor by a concerted con-nlratioii of all the Cass votes on the Van Buren tick-Arrangements are now on foot to secure this re sult, but we thmk ihey can hardly be perfected as lo answer the purpose. Connecticut is pretty sate lor 1 ay lor, though not ab solutely so. The Free Soil movement is strong there, but seems to draw about equally from the two great parlies, j tie wings must woik to carry it, and we think they will. Aeuj lurk is very sure for Inrlor, in spite of all adverse calculations. Whether Van Buren or Cass stands second is doubtful; but wo think Gen. T.'i plurality over the next highest cannot fall short ol -15,01m. JVew Jersey appears to be good for Taylor, but may yet be lout withuut a thorough organization and a de termined etlort. Apathy and heedlessness will lose it. Its majority in a Presidential content Ins been small ever since Ipyn, and no one can positively say from which parly the most Van Jiunn strength will be subtracted, Tennnjlmnia is a Taylor State to day, and with proper exertions will give Gen.

But if his prominent Irieuds should fall into lite unpatriotic blunder uf considering the victory already secure, and thus falling lu loggerhead over llie division ol lliespotl), ihey may throw it away yet. Ui la ware is for Taylor 110 mistake about it. Maryland can't be induced to vote for any body but Taylor, bul hu friend have a good fight In make for it. Mr. Clay's majority in '44 was 'A,'Mirt ; it can hardly be overcome, but may be seriously reduced if a thorough effort is not promptly resolved on Virginia will vote tor Cns. We have calculations of gains hem and there for Taylor, but they do not convince us. Taylor is personally strong in the Old Dominion, but Locofocoism is stronger. JVorth Carolina will pretty surely vole for Taylor, but by a closer vole than any body anticipated prior lo last August. A systematic effort by the Whigs uf the whole State is necessary. South Carolina will Vote for Cass. All the talk of its probably or possibly going f Taylor is moonshine. Georgia will he one ol the best fought Stales m the Union. The probability indicated on the face nf the late return is that it will vote for Cass, and though we consider it an extremely doubtful State, we shall set it down on that sulo lor the present. Manama is for Lass, beyond doubt. Honda is morally certain for Taylor. Our returns indicate a W fug victory at lite lale election, and Grn. Taylor is stronger than his party in Flurtda; General Cass is weaker than his. lAtutsiana lias been thoroughly ranvarsed by Gen.
