THE GAZETTE. By EDGAR SNOWDEN._ Daily paper *8 per annum. Country paper 5 per annum. The ALEXANDRIA GAZETTE for the coun try is printed on Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday._ THE ELECTIONS. O/7/O. GovMNoa.—Returns from 13 counties give Lacas (Jackson) 9566; Findlay (whig 9565.)— We have no doubt of Lucas’s election. Conors**.—We have heard of the election of the following members: Jackson. Anti-Jackson Kennon, Corwin, Colerick, Bond, Webster, Howel, Thomson, Storer. Chaney. So far, we have lost three members, namely, Lytle, Mitchell, and Allen, who have been beaten bv Storer, Howell, and Bond; and have gained two—Kennon and Colerick-who have defeated Bell and Spangler— Globe. The returns received yesterday, from this im portant member of the Confederacy, are ot the most gratifying nature. They communicate changes so extensive, that we feel safe in an nouncing the redemption of the State from the infatuation of Jacksonism. The scales have fallen from her eves, and she has taken her stand on the side of the Constitution and the Laws. We subjoin a nummary of the Congres sional elections, as far as we have heard from thMr. Lytle, the present Jackson member from Cincinnati district, has been beaten by Mr. Storer, the whig candidate, by a majority of 156 votes. w, We learn generally, that Messrs. Mitchell, McLene, Allen, and Webster, all Jackson mem bers have also been beaten by whigs. Further, that Messrs. Corwin, Sloane, Whittlesey, Span gler, and Vinton, present whig Members, have been re-elected—the last named by 2000 majo rity; also, that S. Mason, the whig candidate, has been elected in the place of Mr. Vance, who declined. To balance these results,there has been but one change against us that we have hear d of. Mr.Bell, the present whig member, has lost his election by 30 votes. A Jackson man has also been elect ed in place of Mr. Leavitt, the late Jackson mem ber, appointed Judge. There is now no doubt that a large majority of the Representatives of the State in the next Congress will be whigs; and a letter which we have received, expresses the opinion that Find lav the whig candidate for Governor, has been elected by a majority of 10,000: [The Govern ment paper predicted a Jackson majority of 20,000.]—Sat. hit. Mr. Kennon, the Jackson candidate for Con gress in the adjoining district in Ohio, is proba bly elected by a majority of a few votes. 1 his result astonishes both parties. Guernsey coun ty, the residence of Mr. Bell, at the last election gave him a majority of about 300 votes, and he supposed to be sure of nearly the same at this was election—and when it was ascertained that he had obtained a majority in Belmont, his elec tion was deemed certain, by a handsome majo rity. But so tiue it is “there is knowing who is Governor till after the election.” Guernsey has, as rumor says, given Mr. Kennon a majo rity of 51 votes, which, if true, will elect him by 6 votes. The whigs of Guernsey have suffered an Inglorious defeat, as the price of their own •upineness. In Belmont county, as stated in our Inst, the whole whig ticket has succeeded. In the Steubenville district Mr. Kilgore’s ma jority, is reported, to be about 200. In Jefferson countv, one w’hig and one Jackson man are elected to the Legislature. In Muskingum the whigs have triumphed gloriously having a ma jority of 1306— being a gain of 1600 since the fall of 1833. Howell, whig, is elected to Con gress in place of Dr. Mitchell, Jackson. YY e learn that Mr. Olds, whig, is elected to Con gress, in the place of Mr. McLene, Jackson, in the Columbus district—and that Mr. Bond, whig, has succeeded in the Chilicothe District over Mr. Allen. From the returns already received, we are encouraged to believe that Findlay will be elected Governor and that the whigs will have a majority of the members of Congress and the State Legislature. Wheeling (fa.) Times. NE W JERSE Y. As nearly as it can be ascertained, the Jack son majority in New Jersey is 1132. In 1832 it was 571. In 1333, it was 6732. Increase since 1832, of 554. Diminution since last year, 5600. In the Legislature, last year, there were but eight whig members. There will now be twen ty-eight. The Jackson men have elected thir ty-six members—giving a majority of eight in joint ballot. PENNSYLVANIA We have, to-day, accounts from the 23d Con gressional District, composed of the Counties of Clairfield, Armstrong, Jefferson and Butler— S. S. Harrison (Jackson) present member, is elect ed, over Mr. Gilmore, as we supposed he would be. There is scarcely a doubt that Mr. Galbraith (Jackson) has been re-elected in the 25th dis trict. And if so, the Pennsylvania delegation in the next Congress, will consist of 17 Jackson, and 11 Anti Jackson members, as follows: Jackson.—Joel B. Sutherland, Michael W. Ash, Jacob Fry, jr., D. D. Wagener, Edw-ard B. Hubley, Henry A. Muhlenburg, Henry Logan, Jesse Miller, Joseph Henderson, Andrew Beau mont, J- B. Anthony, J. Laporte, Job Man, J. Klingensmith, Andrew Buchanan, S. S. Harri son,?- Galbraith. Anti-Jackson.—James Harper, Jos. R. Inger goll Edward Darlington, David Potts, jr., Wil liam Heister, Matthias Morris, William Clark, George Chambers; T. M. McKennan, Harmer Denny, John Banks. State Legislatcre.-Wc have a few addi tional items under this head since our last, which tend to confirm what we then said— namely, that there has been, in fact, a small Anti-Jackson gain in the State since the last election, and that the House of Representatives elect will contain five or six more Anti-Jackson UHfllhrrn than the last House. GEORGIA. Congressional Returns.—Aggregate of se venty Counties. The counties to be heard from, 20 in number, are Appling, Carroll, Cass, Cher okee, Cobb, Decatur, De Kalb, Emanuel, Floyd, Gilmer, Lowndes, Montgomery, Murray, Pauld ing, Rabun, Randolph, Sumter, Union, Ware, and Walker.

The Union majority will probably, in the Legislature, be forty or fifty. SOUTH CAROLINA. The entire Nullification ticket for Member of Congress, State Senator, and State Representa tives, has prevailed in Charleston. For Congress: Henry L. Pinckney (Nullification) 1382 Alfred Huger (Union) 1241 State Senate: Gen. Jas. Hamilton (Nullification) 1373 Henry Middleton (Union) 1351 Great sale of improved.

Immediate Relief of the Toothache.—Dr. Ry an observes, that the application of the pure nitric acid to a curious tooth procures almost immediate relief of toothache and faceache, without producing the slightest pain. The acid must be applied to every part of the decayed surface, and care taken not to suffer it to touch the gum, cheek, lips, or apparel. The mouth should be washed after the application with te pid water. It is much easier to touch the teeth in the lower than the upper jaw; but I have ne ver known a single instance in which the acid was fairly tried and completely applied to the decayed surface, without procuring almost im mediate relief, and without any pain. When the upper teeth are diseased, it is very difficult to touch the nerve in a small opening, and this is the cause of failure. The remedy may be employed, however delicate the patient,—even to children.—Medical and Surgical Journal. Col. Page and the Commercial Intelligencer. Col. Page put forth a calkin one of the morn ing papers, yesterday, denying that he had ev er used certain language that hail been imputed to him by the editor of the Commercial Intelli gencer.

City of Albany.—It will probably be in the re collection of those who interest themselves in municipal affairs that an application was made at the last session of the Legislature by the Common Council of Albany to alter the period of election of Aldermen and Assistants in that city from September to May. The legislature accordingly, under the direction of the Regen cy, passed the general law; but, having at that time a majority in the city councils, and being conscious of the probability that they would soon sink into a minority, determined to overleap the boundaries of the constitution, and enacted that the body then in power should continue to hold their offices until May 1835—eight months be yond the period for which they were elected by the people, or authorized by the express terms of the charter to hold. The charter of Albany is nearly one hundred and fifty years old, and the 9th Section of it defines the terra of office of Aldermen and Assistant Aldermen to be yearly—not twenty-monthly; and how these Re gency legislators could contrive to squeeze twenty months into a year—which we have al ways supposed to contain but twelve, is utterly incomprehensible—unless indeed they have tak en lessons from the Old Roman, and choson to construe the charter as they understand it.” The Whig members of those bodies therefore, considering their services as ended, (the year for which they were elected having expired,) have issued an address to the inhabitants of the city of Albany, announcing their retirement from places which they can no longer occupy without a violation of the charter.—AT.

Great Meeting in Alleghany County, Maryland, October 18, 1834. At a very large assemblage of th% citizens of Alleghany County, Md., convened at the Court House, in Cumberland, on Saturday, the 18th October, 1834, at 1 o’clock, P. M., in pursuance of public notice, to consider what measures should be adopted to hasten the completion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal—the Court be ing in session, Chief Justice John Buchanan presiding, and Judges Abraham Shriver and Thomas Buchanan assisting, politely adjourn ed to afford their fellow-citizens the use of the House, and a favorable opportunity of express* ing their opinions and wishes on a subject so important to Maryland and her sister States. Previous to the adjournment of the Court, Chief Justice Buchanan made some very eloquent and appropriate remarks commendatory of the objects of the meeting. The meeting was then organized by calling Wm. McMahon, Esq., to preside over it, assisted by David Shriver and William Ridgely, Esqrs., and appointing Thos. J. McKaig and James Smith to act as Secreta-. ries. The objects of the meeting were then stated at large by B. S. Pigman, Esq., and the appoint ment of a Committee proposed to prepare and •ubrnit a Preamble and Resolutions expressive of the sense and wishes of this meeting upon the important subjects then under consideration: Whereupon the following persons, to wit: B. S. Pigman, Richard Beall, S. P. Smith, Joseph Shriver, and William Matthews, were appoint ed said Committee, and accordingly reported the following Preamble and Resolutions, which, after several spirited and eloquent addresses, evidencing the deep and momentous interest felt by the citizens of this and the neighboring counties in the early completion of this great national work, were severally considered and adopted with unanimity: Whereas it appears to this meeting, that the Governments of Virginia, Maryland, Pennsyl vania, and the United States of America, con sidering the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal a work of National importance, as well with reference to the Agriculfuie, Manufacture and Commerce of these States, as the preservation of the Union in which we happily live, wisely accorded the wishes of very many of the most enlightened and patriotic citizens of the nation, by granting a Charter to the Company incorporated to exe cute that w’ork, and furnishing cupital to be ex pended thereon:—And whereas it also appears, that this Canal has been successfully and well constructed by that Company, from tide water, I along the left bank of the Potomac, 108 miles, at the cost of ahout four millions of dollars, which sum is but little, if any, more than its es timated expens*; and that by the construction of this work the further distance of 75 miles, which may be done at an additional cost of about one million and a half of dollars, a line of canal will be completed from tide water to Cumberland, in the midst of a region abound ing with bituminous Coal of the very best qua lity and inexhaustible extent, that would imme diately yield, from tolls to be derived thereon, income enough to pay more than the simple in terest of the whole cost of said Canal:—And whereas it also appears to us, that the rapidly increasing commerce of the West, proceeding along the lakes and the valleys of the Missouri, Mississippi, and Ohio, by artificial ways to and from the Atlantic cities, will at all times, and the operations of our State and National Go vernments will, especially in times of war, im periously require the use of as many avenues as can be improved, and as great facilities as j can be provided for the transportation of per- j sons and things between the Western and East-1 ern portions of this Union, and particularly along the central course of this Canal, which in its whole line will ever be free from foreign vio lence, and is shorter and for a greater period of the year is less obstructed by ice than any more northern work:—And whereas it also ap pears, that the value of the vast national do main beyond the Alleghany Mountains, and the i large portion of the City of Washington still owned by the nation, would be greatly enhanc ed by facilitating and cheapening the inter-1 course between the west and tne fcast, ana me expenses of the United States Government, and of those who administer it, would be much diminished, by the great reduction which, so soon as this Canal shall be finished to Cumber land, will occur in the price of the fuel required and used in large and increasing quantities for j the public works at Harpers Ferry and the Na- j vy Yard, and for the Public Offices, Hotels and j private establishments near the Capitol, all j placed by the Constitution under the exclusive j control, and therefore entitled to the fostering care, of the national authorities: and as in fact! no State in the Union; not one of its many “markets; nor any branch of its industry, whe ther it speed the plough, or spread the sail, or j “ply at home the shuttle or the hammer, whe- ther its activity be exerted on land or sea, to j the North or South, the East or West, is with- j out an interest in the accomplishment of this National work:”—and as the funds heretofore subscribed for its accomplishment have been j quite all expended, and the completion of said work must depend upon aid being obtained from Congress or the Governments of those States whose inhabitants are more immediate ly interested in its being soon finished, it seems to us proper and to be only necessary that a concert of action should be had, to express opi nions very generally entertained, and wisheP long and anxiously felt by the people of seve ral Cities and States in a manner so explicit as to entitle them to the highest and most deferen tial consideration by all persons in authority, and thus assure the triumph of those opinions, and the early fulfilment of our wishes:—There fore, it is, by this meeting, 1. Resolved, That it is expedient to hold a Convention in the City of Baltimore, at 10 o’ clock, A. M. on the second Monday (the 8th day) of December next, to be composed of three or more Delegates from the towns, cities and coun ties of the District of Columbia, and the several States that feel an interest in the early comple tion of the Chesapeake and Ohio Canal, and may* find it convenient to be represented there in, for the pyrpose of considering and adopting such measures as shall to them seem most likely to cause that Canal to be soon finished; and such other works of National character to be under taken as may advance the welfare of Maryland and her sister States. 2. Resolved, That David Shriver, John Hoye, M. C. Sprigg, S P. Smith, MoorN. Falls, Thos. 1. McKaig. Joseph Shriver, James Smith, Tho nas Perry, and William Matthews, be, and they are hereby, appointed the Delegation to represent Allegany County in the aforesaid Convention, with power to fill any vacancies in said Delegation, or to add to its number. 3. Resolved, That the following gentlemen be appointed a Corresponding Committee, viz. David %hriver, John Hoye and others; and charged with the duty of publishing and com municating these proceedings to such persons as may be zealous and influential in promoting the views of this meeting, and inviting their prompt and cordial operation. i 4. Resolved, That the proceedings or this meeting be forwarded for publication in the se veral newspapers printed in the District of Co lumbia, the State of Maryland, the western por tions of Virginia and Pennsylvania, and in the States of Ohio, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, and Missouri.

It is generally known that, during the session of the Kentucky Legislature of 1832—3, a se vere law was enacted against the odious and demoralizing vice of Gaming. This law is ge nerally known us Wicklifffs Law," having been introduced into the Legislature by Robert Wickliffe, Esq. of Lexington, then a Senator from Fayette county. At the present term of the Favette circuit court, Judge Hickey presiding, the laws against gaming were particularly adverted to in the charge to the Grand Jury, and the duty of en quiring into all cases of private as well as public gaming, was strictly enjoined. In pursuing the enquiries which they deemed necessary, in order to effect the object contem plated by the Legislature, the Grand Jury had various persons summoned before them, in or der to give testimony—among them, Charlton Hunt, Esq. Mayor of Lexington, A. K. Wood ley, Esq., and G. L. Postlethwaite, one of the proprietors of the Phcenix Hotel. These gen tlemen, refusing to answer the interrogatories propounded to them, were fined in the sum of $30 each, and ordered to jail, tor contempt of court. In the interim between me summons oi Messrs. Hunt and Postlethwaite before the Grand Jury, and the imposition of the tine and imprisonment, the Grand Jury had been dismiss ed for a week. On re-assembling, the charge of the Judge in relation to gambling was so mod ified, as to make it discretionary, instead of obli gatory, on the Grand Jury to prosecute the en quiries enjoined in the original charge. Under the impression, from the altered tone or what they conceived to be the altered tone of the Judge, that witnesses would not be compelled to give testimony in cases ol private as well as pro fessional gaining, the Grand Jury unanimously resolved that they could not effectually pursue their enquiries regarding violations of the laws against unlawful gaming, and requested to be discharged. The Judge explained—-and the witnesses ha ving been brought before the Grand Jury, and refusing to answer, were fined, &c. as above stated. The Grand Jury subsequently presented another communication to the court, imputing delinquency on the part of the court in the dis charge of its duties. The Judge alledged this to be a contempt, and seven ol the Grand Jurors, refusing to purge themselves on oath, of an in tentional censure of the court, were fined in the sum of 840 each, and imprisoned 24 hours, for contempt. We have been compelled, for want ol room, to give this hasty and imperfect summary of a procedure which has created considerable ex citement in Lexington and Fayette county.— The Intelligencer of the 10th, contains a full re port of the whole matter.

ALEXANDRIA:' THURSDAY MORNING, OCT. 23, 183.. LATEST FROM THE WEST INDIES. Dreadful Hurricane at Dominica. By the Brig Eduard, Capt. D. B. Smith, ar rived at this port from Barbadoes. whence she sailed on the 5th, we have received files of Bar badoes papers to that date. The Islands generally continued quiet, but the laborers were very lazy, and not inclined to work when they could avoid it. These papers give us an account of a most dreadful and destructive hurricane, which oc curred on the night of the 20th September, on the Island of Dominica. The works on two thirds of the principal Sugar Estates werel*. veiled to the ground, the canes blown flat to the earth, and in many instances buried in the mad and blown from the soil; every description of provisions above ground completely swept away, and the face of the country, which exhi bited before the utmost luxuriance of vegeta tion, changed to the appearance of a general conflagration having passed over it. There are not 50,000 feet of lumber in the Island, nor 100. 000 shingles. Every vessel that was in the roads at the time shared the same fate, viz: the sloops Doiphin and Antelope, and a small sloop from Monserrat. An American schooner was driven on shore, bottom up on the south end of the Is! and opposite to Martinique. The offices, Bar racks and Hospital at Morne Bruce, are mostly blown down, and those standing in such a dela piduted state as to make them unsafe to occupy. Every building on the garrison has either been crushed to ruins or has suffered considerably— the spacious Hospital, lately built on an improv ed plan, has been partly unroofed, and the Bar rack Master’s and Adjutant’s offices have been entirely destroyed, and it was with great diffi aulty that the troops escaped without loss of life.—The left side of the Government House wai blown down, and the other parts of the build ing partially damaged—The office of the Aux iliary Commissioners of Compensation, adjoin ing those premises, has been materially injur ed, and a great many of their original docu inents destroyed. The new Commissariat building—the Custom-House, the Court-House —Market-House—the Jail and the Protestant Church, and almost every other building in town, have suffered considerable injury from the effects of the Hurricane—The Mercantile Houses of Messrs. Thomas Lalng JL Co. I Messrs. James Garraway Co. and Thomas W. Doyle, Esq. on account of their proximity to the sea, have also experienced most heavy losses. Throughout the whole island, and on every j estate, the most dreadful destruction took place, the full account of which would fill a column. The northern part of Martinique has su|ered severely, and many vessels have been lost. St. Pierre did not escape, and considerable loss has been sustained at Fort Royal. Great fears were entertained that the people of Dominica would suffer for the want of food and measures w’ere taken at Barbadoes and elsewhere to send supplies to the suffering in habitants. All accounts go to show that this has been one of the most destructive hurricanes ever experi enced in the West Indies. Extract of a teller from Uurbadoes, received by a commercial house in this place. The great measure ofemancipation is work ing better than the wannest friends of that law could have anticipated; and from the neighbor ing islands we continue to receive favorable ac counts of the conduct of the laborers, with the exception of the colony of Demarura, where a great deal of indolence and apathy have pre vailed.” LATEST FROM LIVERPOOL. I3y the arrival, at New York, of the ship Ire donia, Captain Page, Liverpool papers to the 12th uf September have been received. Import or Cotton.—The number of hags of cotton imported into this country from America, from the 1st t»f January to the 29th of Aug., I8M1 was 663.250. The totul number imported in die whole of 1833, was 652,822, beingan increase of 10,424 bags, imported in the first eight months of 1834. over the w hole imports ol 1833.

DYER. Lowell, Massachusetts, Feb. 8, 1834 In justice to Dr. M.t her medical adviser, when he heard her improvement in health, he recommended perseverenev in the use of he medicines. This valuable Medicine, being composed only of vegetable matter, or medicinal herbs, and warranted, on oath, as containing not one particle of mercurial, mineral, or chemical substances, (all of which are un congenial to the nature of man, and therefore destruc tive to the human frame,) is found to be perfectly harmless to the most tender age or weakest frame, un der every stage of human suffering; the most pleasant and benign in it-operation, and at the same time the most searching out the root of every complaint, how ever deep, and of perfotminga cure, that was ever offered to the world. This wonderful effect, too, is produced by the least trouble to the patients, by merely swallowing a certain number of small pills, and being called a few extra times to the purposes of eva cuation, with the least possible sensation of pain, or exhaustion of bodily strength, and without the tear of catching cold, or attention to dress or diet, in any way different from their accustomed habits. These pills cure all cases, and cannot be taken to excess Experience, which is the touchstone of all human knowledge, has long borne testimony to the fact; and extensive use of them has already verified its truth in this country. These medicines cure by purging) and yet the weak, the feeble, the infirm, the nervous, the delicate, are in a few days strengthened by their operation, because they clear the body of its bad humours, and invariably procure sound sleep. They are the safest and most efficacious menicine to take to sea) preventing scurvy, costiveness, kc.

Botanical Drops! are every year increasing their long established repu tation. They h»ve outlived many rival Preparations, and are continually gaining upon public confidence. The Botanical Drops haxe been successfully admin istered for many years, as a thorough remedy tor that well known and prevalent class of inveterate disease* which originate from a vitiated habit of body, or an he reditary predisposition in the patient, and genera y appear under the various and distressing shapes of Scrofula, Salt Rheum, Leprosy, St Anthony s Fire, Fever Sores, White Swellings, Scurvy, Fonl and Ob stinate Ulcers, Sore Legs and Eyes, Scald Head, and Venereal Taint. In the last mentioned condition of the sy*tem, tne Botanical Drops will be found to eradicate the lurk ing poison, where mercury has totally failed, and thus prevent the patient from entailing the seeds of an he reditary disea#e on his offspring Dr. Relfe’s Botanical Drops are successfully used in cases of violent eruptions after the measles—red blotches—pimples on the face-festering emotions on the akin-and other diseases of the external surface? and are one of the best Spring and Autumnal physics known, to free the system from humor* A physician of eminence, who had witness’d the ef ficacy of this article, hid the candor recently to ack nowledge to the proprietor, that he considered it the best me licine known, for the complaints for which it is intended, and that it ought deservedly to stand at the head of the whole c'asgof such remedies Price $1 a bottle, o- 6 bottles for f 5 WHITE TBBTH!

This is sn elegant and pleasant preparation in every respect, and has, for many year* pa>t, given universal satisfaction wherever it has been used. The Antiseptic Dentrifice is exempt from acid and other deleterious ingredients, which too frequently enter the composition of tooth powtiers in common use, and it whitens tiie enamel of the teeth without doing it the least injury. The regular use of this ad mired powder, by purify ing the mouth and preventing the accumulation of tartar, operates as the be->t pre ventive ofthe Tooth Ache The Dentrifice removes discolorations, and restores the beautiful native white ness of the enamel.

IN that long train of diseases which seem to grow with the growth of civilized society, Consumption takes the lead in its relentless inroads upon human life; yet'his dreadful disorder is easily overcome in its earlier stages. It is only when neglected that it ar rives at the terrific maturity which so often baffles the sagacity of professional science. An obstinate cough is the customary forerunner of the pulmonary con. sumption Improper neglect in the timely adminis tration of simple and salutary remedies, is sure to be reproved by a dreadful succession of consumptive symptoms —oppression of tl»e breast; greenish and bloody spittle; ulcerated lungs and hectic fever; shri veiled extremities, and general emaciation of the whole body; prostration of strength; flushed cheeks; swollen feet and legs; and at last, in the loll posses sionofthe mental faculties, and while hope still whis pers her flattering tale—cold extremities, and a pre mature death. For the various stages of this complaint, one of the most approved remedies ever yet discovered is DR. RELFE’S ASTHMATIC PILLS. This exceedingly powerful, and yet equally safe and innocent preparation, has effected thorough and rapid cures upon patients supposed to have been far advanc edio a confirmed Consumption, and who have exhibit* ed the appearances which usually indicate a fatal ter mination of 'he disorder. As the Fills require in ordinary cases no confine ment, they may be administered with confidence and safety to all ages and classes of people. Unexampled success has hitherto attended their administration in a great variety of cases; and the proprietor can refer to j a multitude, which testify to their efficacy in reviving the emaciated victim from the bed of disease, and re storing him to the blessings of accustomed health and activity.
