"Old Captain Scudder.'—We were never in bet ter humor in our life , limn we have been ever since the result of the. elections has been kn own to us—and we would by no means, needlessl y travel back over the ground of the l«te canvass , but we feel bo und to apolog ize, partl y, and to ju stif y our- sel ves partl y, for the so frequent reference to our friend and neighbor (the lion. Zeno Scudder) by Ili a plain chri.-tnin n ame oi.l . v. Th e Yarmouth Reg- ister licenses us ol doing so "contemptuousl y ! " That w e deny, peremptoril y. We have onl y done it soci- ally— in a nei g hborl y manner. But we are resolved 10 improve in th at respect. Nnw ,«npp o se we tak e for our model in this , that excellentl y friendl y and de- voted sheet—devoted to Mr . Scudder 's advance- men t and honor (though a most miserable black- gu ard concern in every thin g else)—the New Bed- ford Mercury ? Tin' mo rnin g of the election that scandalous , fil- th y, ly ing newsp ap er came out will , a string of ral- ly ing pa ragrap hs for memb er of Congress some addressed to the. negroes—some to pu re whins {like ihei r candidates) — but one grand KAI.I.Y for the sail ors ! They called lustii y and loud on all the sailors of New Bedford to tur n out to the. polls and vole for Ihal veteran "OLD C A P T A I N SCUD- DER! who Hoed away down on Cape Cod P ' Jt was a strong a ppeal , indeed , t o tlie sailors—and it was two or thr ee limes repeated—to vote for tha t "OLD Captain Scudder." Now , if hereaft er , we shall occasionall y refer to our friend and nei ghbor (now become so distinguish- ed) by the name and title of "old Captain Scudder;' we trust Amos will not then charge us with doing it ¦'contemptuousl y." We shall be followin g in the foot steps of their illustrious friend the nasty New Bed- ford Mercury . New Yohk Election.—It is now ascertained l lisit , makin g no allowance for disputed votes or ir- regulaiiiies in condu cting the election , us in Mon- roe and Alb any countie s , where , says the Alb any Argus , "the action of the country canvassers mav materiall y change the aspect of things ;" Washing- ton Hunt , whi g, is elected governor by abont 250 majority over Horatio Seymour , in an aggregate of iibout 400,000 votes ^TWe call the attenti on of our readers with great pleasure , to a notice in another column of a Ph ysi o- logical Lecture in the Methodist Chapel , on Friday evening next. We. understand it is the commence- ment of a series on that and other subj ects. There are no facilit ies offered , where so much can be learned with so little cost of lime and money, as the popular lecture . These lectures will assume, we have no doubt , more the. di gnity of the conventio n than the evening lyceum. A di gnified consideraii oi, of the subject tnul n mutual interchan ge of thoug ht would make them suffi. ientl y social to awaken the interest , and keep It alive ; and , at the same, time , not imappro piiale for the sacred place where held. The series of lectures of last winter were not only thrilling ly interesting, but they were well sustained throug hout. At the. meeting on Friday evening, it is proposed to make arrangements for others , and it is to be hoped that all interested will attend €aTMr. Nathaniel Howard , one of the oldest and best Stage Proprietors , the State ever produced , haf just put , on to the route between Sandwich and Yarmouth ,a new and heiuiiifu l Stage. Neither does any man drive , belter horses, or deserving of belter patronage. During the emi gration which is now going on to the head of salt river, we antici pate for him , a large travel ,and he enjoys and deseroes it all ! The onl y comp laint that we can conceive, will be made by him is the large quantit y of baggage which is taken by passengers. Heretofore when the emi- gration has been going on in Massachusetts, provis- ion onl y for one year seemed to be made . Some, who have, alread y left. Cape Cod , have gone bag and haggage for an addition al slop of ai least f ive years ! Something New !—While burg laries have been frequent of lale , in this vicin ity, and it was found necessary to secure the doors of our houses and stores with stronger and better locks , no one dreamed that they were in any danger of having their hoys stolen from styes ! But it is no less strange than true , t hat t he stye of Rev . Mr . Haynes .of Hy»nni.i,was entered by some porker on Wednesday ni ght last , and hi* hog killed , and bird therein , and afterwards carried off! W here he was taken to, and scalded, is yet unknown. This is the first instance of the kind we have ever known hereabouts. The Pictorial Brothkr Jonathan for Chuistmas and New Yeak.— This great holi day paper has just been issued , and we must acknow- led ge that we are deli ghted with its appearance. Jt certainl y presents the grande st disp lay ol large and beautiful Engravings u P. ever saw collected togeth- er. "The Country Girl in New York" is a picture of enormous size , occupy ing and going across two entire pages of the paper. The sp irited group of portraits surroundin g President Tay lor's Death lied , and the grand tableau of "The Sewing Girl's Dream of Love ami Pleasure ," go to make up the remainin g outer pages. These are the princi pal features, while th e. inner pages are full of choice holiday reading, illustrated in the most amp le and costl y manner. We are informed that over one hundred thousand cop ies of the Holiday Brother Jonathan are usuall y sold ; and this extensive sale accounts for its aston ishing cheapness , viz: 12 cents per copy, or ten for one dollar. Wilson & Co., New York , are the. publishers. tsaTIt will be seen by referring to our ndvertisinn • columns , that a meetin g of the stockholders of the Mariners ' Ban k , will be held at the Hall , in South Denim , on Monday the 2d Axy of December.

The return s which have reached us .-ince our last publication , show (hat the whigs were hard pushed , and the old coon treed by t he combin- ed "powers that be. " The democratic and free soil parties have canied a maj ority of the Senate and House of Representat ives , and the question is set- tied that Georj;e N. Bri jips cannot be Governor an- other year. Our own County has done nobl y, bv throwin;.' n handsome democrati c vote , and thus de- featiHg the election of Zeno Scudder. This was a result entir el y unexpected , and jud ging from ihe opposition which is made to him , in all parts of the Distr ict , he nevur can be. elected ton seat in that honorable body. We are told the Fishermen of Cape Cod were, absent , and will be at home to swell his vote some hundreds at the next trial. Well , be it so—our friends in other sections of Ihe Dis- trict are equa ll y confident that they can poll at least four hundred more votes against him , and with hal f i hat number , his defeat is certain U e are induced to publish the followin g, from a "whi g" correspondent of the New Bedford Si .uidaid. Zkno is defeate d , defeated in the, good old Tenth D^yJet , and there seems to be a general rejoiein<> aimi^f all classes of our fellow citizens . The idea of defeati ng a whi g candidate in this district seemed preposterous , but such has been the. glorious result. Zkno is defeated , defeated on the very battle-field where Mr Grinnell , only two short years ago.had Ten HUXDKI. .I) ANM ) KOKTY-F1VK VOTES OVKH ALL I! Yes, D E F E A T E D, in a Di strict where a like occur- rence h a s N K V K K happened before. We would not rej oice over the defeat , for the de- feat itsel f, but rath er ivj oice becai.se the result of the ele cti on plainl y i ndii ales th at there is a feelino- -p reuding all over our distiiet , which discards o: parly tactics , and the foolish idea that we must al- ways vote for regular nominations , no matter how unwurtliy 01 how incompetent tiw candidate may be. The defeat of Mr . Scu dder , is A CHEAT VICTO- RY : and we have no doubt that the veidict , w hich he voters of the. "old Tenth" recorded a",ii-ist him on Monday, Nov. 11th , will be (he same »t each suc- c eeding trial.

We. expect much sub- stanti al good from this election ." Winter Quaiitkhs!—Several of the whi gs of Cape. Coil , p rovided themselves earl y last week with conveyances for the head o f salt river; Among the number was seen the man with the Carpet Bag !— For the most part , those who passed throug h thi.- towu in stages , have t aken two years supp ly of cloth- ing and p rovisions ! Amos wil l go in a second class car , provid ed no p owder is p ermitted , mid it is ex- pected will not icturri. Hgg"The chowder-head who Expresses from New Bedford to Boston his confidence that Zeno is elect- ed to Congress, will have , learnt , by this time , t ha! he is mistaken , and that the whi ps of the District didn 't ant ici pate any such result! How Ion" will he continue a laughing slock for the whole touimu- niry H Kcprcsej stative to Coragrress. Well , Zeno is defeated ! It is not our fault. We did all we consistently could , to pro cure his nomina- tion ; and subsequentl y, in the canvas, to effect his elec tion ! Wo knew—we perfectl y u nderstood that there was a deep feeling of di slike of Zeno among the Whi gs of New Bedford and Dukes County ;— and not of the "Ho wland Whi gs" alone , either , by a ny means—and we well knew the cause of this dis- satisfaction with him , and dis trust of him. It was a perfectl y rational , and indeed commendable feeling . We say, we knew ,pe rfectl y, this f eeling on the part ol the Whi gs of the Islands and of the Western part ol th e District. We did all it was proper for us to do,th en , under the rircun i-it.inccs , to secure /iis nomination , and keep down this feeling, th at it should not burst out op enly against him. To do this , we earl y noti- fied tho se Whi gs, that the nomination of Zeno had been determined upon —that ihe thin g was f ixed— that resistance to it , or cavil about it , was wholl y useless—that they need not come down ,or off.to the con vention (ihoug h we should be happy to greet iheni hern) or if ihey did come to the convention , it certainl y would be most becoming i n them to make no resistance hut to ratif y wh.it had been so elabor- atel y and irrevocabl y fix ed upon . Thus , we are certain ,we k ept down an open rebellion in the ranks of our friends , the Whi.'S—which it wou ld mm-li have grieved us to see—and thus we secured the nomination of our friend and nei ghbor and oM p olit- ica l associate , the Hon. Zeno Scudder. We ll , h aving done thus much , we thou g ht Zeno to be fairl y on the hi gh road to Congress. There ,ii mi g ht have been supposed our responsibility, and our ert'01 Is , co uld safe ly rest. It was the duty of the Whi gs, th i'ii , to put Zeno throug h! And we consci- entiousl y believe they would have done so, h ad he not upset his own dish ! Wiley and shrewd as he is, and with su ch a starl-ofT as he hail obtained thr ough our exertions—and then Ihe fact that the. Barnsta- ble Ban l;,too,immediatel y lo ok him up and endorsed him , by makin g him one o f their Directors —wi th all these fa vorable influences contributin g their little breezes to swell his broad canvass , and puff' him on to such glory —how he.could ha ve so miserably man- aged his helm as to make shi p wreck of the whole, concern , is mysterious—or rather it would have been mysterious, if we had not been looking on , and wit- n essed the whole aff'ai r. We don t want to reproach our friend under his misfortune—lo taunt him with his mistakes , after election (or rather after his non-election ) but , how Zeno could think of doing such a foolish thin g as to writ e letters— political letters-—to get into the news- pa per;, (considering his very peculiar situation ) is marvellous ! Wh y the idea of his professing such ancient , such steadfast Whi ggery !—of his Hnsweriri " the Pitman inquiry ,whether he was a ' Webster Whig,' and so answerin g it as to put himself in direct hostil- ity lo Mr. Webster and lo Mr. Fillmore 's admini.-. -- tiaiion !—so ausweiing it , that the Hon. Horace Mann could carry the letter about in his pocket and read it to his con stituents in the 81h Distiict when making his stump speeches there. !—again the idea of his answering the negro letter from New Bedford —and givin g such an answer too !—full of blood and thunder in favor of negroism ! Oh , dear !—Didn 't Zeno know—couldn 't he see—that Ihose negroes were onl y quizzing him ? Did he th ink they were ignorant of his being a U. S. Commissioner, before whom either of those colored men were liable lo be dragged for adjudication of the question whether he or she were a slave or a freeman ?—and th at he could ae\ f ine dollars more for dooming them each to slavery than for decreeing them free ? Instead of writing them such a ri gmarole about the law , why didn 't he resign that office—or at least ,wh y didn 't lie tell them that he woxdd resign. Could Zeno have , supposed , that while he was preaching suidi ancient Whi ggery—such consistent W liignrcry—such pure Whi ggery,eve n out-Webstei- ino; Mr. Webster himself , in consistency and purit y of princi ple—could he have supposed .t hat any rea- der of his letters had forgotten how recently he was a good "locofoco ;'' attendin g; our caucuses , and con- ventio ns and. spouting in the cause of '•de.-moc-e.r-a- cee?" Did he. forget , that ihoug h such treachery is often accepted—quite often by the Whi gs when they can make it available —yet the traitor is always des- pired—evrn by the Whi gs? A mos' adoption of Zeno—and his endorsement by the Barn stable Bank .(ihoug h this last is indespensa- ble of course) were not sufficient to save him from ihe effects of such foll y, on his own part , as we have above hint ed at. We have much more to say on this subj ect , but we are. too full of mortification at this failure of what gave so fair promise as did Zeno's nomin ation , to pursue it further at this time.

[For the Barnstnh le Patriot.!

This was r>;viii% Ihi! thin< ! a kind of galvanic touch. And anon signs of life appeared ; and may it feel something more limn a mere- momen tary kick or excitement—a perma- ne n t , abiding renov ation. This gentleman , Mr. L. 1>.

Instead of an exhibition , ho has an interview connected with each quarter. Oneof these (the first) he hail on last Tuesday evening, composed princi pall y of the. scholars , with llivir pa- rents , »nd some invi ted guests. The house was crowded above and below. It was an experiment here, and thoug h exhibit- ing many good features ,is evidentl y capab le ol many very essential improvements , which would eertnii '1)' render it both much more comfortable and henllli fn l as well as agreeable and profitable to the numerous peop le who collect at such times.
