LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.
The Asia, which touched at Queenstown yester-
day, arrived here to-day.
The result of the Presidential election is thus
summed up by the New York Times, a Republican

organ :
" The political campaign of 1860 has reached its
termination, and has unquestionably resulted in
the election of Abraham Lincoln to the office of
President. In reaching this conclusion, we have
very imperfect information from States which the
consest of all parties had assigned to the Repub-
lican interest, but from what have been regarded
as doubtful States there are overwhelming majo-
rities for the Republican ticket. The result in this
city, where the Anti-Republican interest has ob•
tained a plurality slightly exceeding 27,000, has,
in connexion with such meagre returns as reach us
from the counties, demonstrated the triumph of
Lincoln in this State ; while in Pennsylvania,
where a serious reduction of the 30,000 majority of
Curtin in October had been looked to by zil parties,
that majority in favour of Lincoln is swollen to an
incredible figure, little less than 100,000. From
Connecticut we also have large Republican gains,
evincing the astonishing growth of the Republican
sentiment. It would be unsafe to estimate the
actual majority upon the Presidential ticket, but it
is safe to announce the election of Mr. Lincoln as
entirely assured. As incidents of this generakresuit
we may mention that Mr. Pell has probably carried
both Maryland and Virginia. As the present edition
of our paper goes to press, we have too few returns
from the Congressional canvass to announce a
final list of the successful candidates. In Massa-
chnsets Mr. Burlingame has been defeated by Mr.
Appleton, the Union cadidate ; and Mr. Eli Tnayer
(Independent) is beaten by Bailey (Republican).
The Republican tickets were elsewhere successful.
In this city Mr. Wood is chosen from the Third,
Mr. Kerrigan from the Fourth, Mr. Taylor from
Fifth, Mr. Cocbrane from the Sixth, Gen. Ward
from the Seventh, and Mr. Delaplaine from the
Eighth District. From New Jersey we hear the
gratifying intelligence that Speaker Pennington
has been re-chosen over Perry, his Fusion antago-
nise. The local issues of this city have been di-
rersely settled, though we have no conclusive re-
turns of the contest. The impression, however,
prevails, in view of such figures as have reached
us at this hour, that Mr. Barnard is chosen Judge
of the Supreme Court ; Mr. Ulshoeffer, Justice of
the Superior Court; John T. Hoffman, Recorder ;
Edward C. West, Surrogate ; John Sedgewick,
City Judge; Matthew T. Brennan, Registrar; and
C. Schwarzwaelder, Supervisor. The count for
Assemblymen is still unfinished."
The same journal remarks on the result as fol-
lows :

" It is too early to speak confidently of detailed
results of yesterday's election. But there can be no
reasonable doubt that the Republicans have elected
their President. It has been universally conceded
that the issue lay with New York, and New York
casts her vote for Lincoln. What the majority will
be cannot yet be known. We believe, however, that
it will fall very little, if any at all, below our esti-
mate of 40,000. Pennsylvania has very largely in-
creased her majority of October, and there is no
reason to doubt that the New England States and
the West are largely Republican. We have no
disposition to exult over this victory, signal and
important as it is. The contest, on the part of the
Republicans, has been throughout one of principle ;
on the part of their opponents it has been waged
almost exclusively on the basis of fear. There has
been no union of principle among them, nor have
they been able to concentrate their strength upon
a single candidate. The result is what might have
been expected—disorganization, demoralization,
and defeat. This election will inaugurate a marked
and most important change in the administration
of the Government. The policy of extending
slavery and increasing its political power will now
be checked. The slave interest will no longer im-
pose its claims and its law upon the Federal
Government. The constitution will no longer be
regarded as a mere instrument for fortifying and
increasing slavery. The African slave trade will
not be reopened, and more vigorous and effective
measures will be taken for its suppression. But,
above all, we shall have established at Washington
a rule of honesty and patriotism in place of the
corruption, imbecility, and intrigue which have
controlled our public councils for the last few years.
It is quite time we had a change in these respects.
The Republicans now have it in their power to lay
the basis for the most useful, popular, and per-
manent Administration the country has seen for a
long time; but they must not conceal from them-

selves the obstacles which they will be compelled
to encounter."

The New York _Herald repot is the result as fol-
lows :

" The great battle has been fought and lost by
the allied forces in New York. The presidential
result may be summed up in three Words—Lincoln
is elected. In a more exact form. according to the
returns before us, the several States have cast their
suffrages for President and Vice-President as
