THE PRESIDENTIAL QUESTION
SETTLED.
A GREAT WEEK.
The Election of last week, like the great week in October, 1840, settle the Presiden- tial question. They show results similar in their general aspect to the preliminary e- lections of 1840, in which, in fact, the great and real contest is, -the November elections generally following these. With the exception of Maine, where a party law substantially secured the choice of the elec- toral ticket to a Legislature elected a year ago last September, the States have gone If majorities * Rev.

It is settled, by the recent Elections, that the Whigs will have a majority of at least two, in the next U. S. Senate.
The returns are in from all the Counties in that State. It appears that Shunk, Lo- co Foco, is elected Governor, by less than 5000 majority. The N. Y. Tribune puts it at 4500. Shunk is a strong Protective Tariff man; and when the question comes to be tried between Mr. Clay and Mr. Poik, we have no doubt but Mr. Clay will re- ceive the electoral vote of that State by a handsome majority.

Our good Town was named for Sm Jo- SEPH DANVERS an English Baronet, of Swithland in Leicestershire in England, who was many year's a member of Parlia- ment; he was the friend and patron of Spencer Phipps, who was the Lieut. Gov- ernor of the Province of Massachusetts- Bay, 25 years, from 1732 to his death in 1757. , Danvers was incorporated January 28th, 1752 as a District,-a District was a Corporation invested with all the municipal powers, privileges, and immunities of a Town, except the right to choose a Repre- sentative in the State Legislature. Many Districts have been incorporated during the past century, as well under our State Constitution, as under the Royal Charter. A place called Boston-Corner, in Berkshire County, was incorporated as "a District as late as 1838. The occasion of the distinction was that while the territory of some townships was so extensive as to ren- der it inconvenient for all the inhabitants to assemble in one place for the transacting of their prudential and municipal concerns, 'the tract of territory, incorporated as a District, contained too small a number of inhabitants to be entitled to a Representa- tive. Still the districts were not unrepre- sented; for they were annexed to some" town, with which they voted in the choice of Representatives.
The District of Danvers was a vigorous shoot from Old Salem, and from the fertility of its soil and the industry and increase of its population, it soon became a palmy and flourishing place, and was incorporated June 16, 1757, with all the honors and powers of a Town. It is now one of the most thriving, enterprising, wealthy, and populous towns in the County of Essex.
Though the name, Danvers, is intrinsic- ally a very good name, euphonious, easily .pronounced, and easily spelled, yet there better and kindlier feeling among the seve- ral denominations than in this place. The several clergymen enjoy the respect of the community at large as well as the love and esteem of those under their immediate charge. Most of them are associates on the SchoolCommittee where the care of the rising generation without distinction of parish lines engages their attention and their personal intercourse is marked by all that courtesy and good feeling which so well be- comes those whose province it is to teach by example as well as precept. is reason to fear that, when our loco foco townsmen find that it was named for a British Baronet, a subject of George II., the Monarch of Great Britain, they will be 'thrown into fits of horror and hysterics, and rush from the town, and refuse to dwell in a territory, cursed and blasted with a Brit- ish name! The admirers of Dorr shudder- ed at the bare idea of the old Charter of Charles II., because it was granted by a British King. That Charter, indeed, was the most free, and contained the fewest re- straints on Liberty, of any of the State Constitutions. But let our Loco Focos recollect, and be comforted, that though Danvers was named for a British Baronet, so all our Constitutions are couched and expressed in English words, words entirely manufactured and coined in Old England, and that they cannot pour out their execra- tions against that charter for being British, without being compelled to do homage to that Monarchical country by using the En- glish language,-their speech bewrayeth happiness by protecting personal industry,

The Monument Division of this order of Temperance Brothers of this town, have re- cently installed their new officers for the current quarter.

Truth is stranger than fiction.
KYANIZED TIMBER FOR RAILWAYS. We have before noticed experiments made in England with prepared wood for Railways. The wood is prepared as follows :- "The pieces, after having been fitted, by the car- penter or the joiner, for their places, are introduced into an immense iron cylinder, which is then exhausted by an air pump .- A solution of sulphate of iron is then inject- ed, which immediately enters into the ex- hausted pores of the wood. The wood is withdrawn, and again placed into a similar vacuum in a solution of muriate of lime, which, in coming in contact with the sul- phate of iron within the wood, decomposes it, and forms an insoluble sulphate of lime, or gypsum, within the wood; and the mu- riate of iron, the other new compound goes about its business. So the wood becomes thoroughly impregnated with stone as hard as a rock, and is yet as tough as before."
As has been before stated, the wood has been used in constructing the terminus of the Dover Railway, and it really seems to have both the qualities of stone and iron .- Rails of it laid down at Vauxhall, for ex- periment, endured a travel equal to that of a year on the most thronged Railway with- out any perceptible wear- not even the saw marks of the timber being removed .- It offers nearly as little friction as iron, while at the same time it presents a better bite to the wheels, which enables engines to surmount an inclination impracticable on an iron rail.
As to the economy, it is said that the preparation of the rails for a mile of road, by this process, would not exceed $400 .-- The cost of iron rails, we believe, is about $4,000 a mile. The cheaper kinds of tim- ber are as good as any; so that the whole expense would not probably be more than one-fourth that of iron rails. In other words, there would be a saving of at least $3,000 a mile.
It is stated, also, that wood so prepared receives the finest polish; and may, besides, in the process, by the use of certain solu- tions, be stained with any variety of color. -Vermont Chronicle.
MR. CLAY'S DEMOCRACY .- "I was born a democrat," said Mr. Clay, in his Indiana speech; "rocked in the Revolution-and at the darkest period of that ever memora- ble struggle for freedom. I recollect, in 1781 or '82, a visit made by Tarleton's troops to the house of my mother, and of running their swords into the new made graves of my father and grandfather, think- ing they contained hidden treasures. Tho' then not more than four or five years of age, the circumstance of that visit is vividly re- membered, and it will be to the last mo- ment of my life. I was born a democrat- was raised and nurtured a republican, in the faith and principles of my fathers."
THE DEBT OF TEXAS. Telegraph, the principal newspaper in Texas, says that the public debt of that country amounts to one hundred dollars to each individual. And this is the debt which the people of this country are called on to assume.
