ELECTIONS IN THE UNITED STATES.

The news just received by cable that the Repub-
licans carried the election on the Ist of S_tptember
in Vermont by a majority of 27.000 shows that
there is none of the reported reaction against the
Republicans in the New England States. In the
Vermont election of 1866 the majority was 22,825 ;
in 1867, 20,184 ; which gives in the election of last
Tuesday a Republican gain of more than 4,000
over the former year, and of 7,000 over the latter.
The tickets run as follows, with the exception of
the Democratic candidate for Congress of the first
district :

Republican. Democratic.
Governor ...... John P. Page J. L. Edwards.
Lieut.-Governor Stephen 'Thomas Diurillo Noyes.
Treasurer
Congress, 1

The next election takes place on Tuesday in Cali-
fornia. The Democrats feel confident they will
carry the State, their majority last year being 9,546;
but the Republicans assert that their defeat.then
was owing to splitting their votes, a mistake they •
will now avoid. In 1861 the Republican majority
was the highest known in California, being 18,293 ;
but in 1867 fully a third of the Republicans of the
State did not vote at all. The question binges on
the action of those 20,000 Republican voters, and
although the Democrats are confident, yet, if these
remain true to their party, the State will be carried by
the Republicans. The election, however, which ex-
cites most interest is that of Maine, which will take
place Sept. 14, as, like Vermont, it will indicate
the feeling of neighbouring States, while California
only gives an isolated opinion. Last year the Demo-
cratic gain wasll6,ooo votes, chiefly due to liquor laws
and other gip issues. Mr. PENDLETON, encouraged
by this recollection, arrived at Boston on August 18,
when he told the Constitutional Democratic Club,
which serenaded him at the Parker House, that be
was on his way to Maine to take part in the poli-
tical campaign in that State. He was received by
the Democrats of Maine with great enthusiasm,
which boiled over when he approached his favourite
topic of greenback redemption, one currency for
the producer and the bondholder. He complained
that the men who heaped abuse upon him were
now crowding him off his own platform, having
discovered that the people intended to support it.
The adoption of a forty years' Funding Law would
make the debt eternal, while its payment in
paper as the bonds became due would extinguish
it in a few years without loss to the holders,
as they would get in paper at par, what they
had bought in paper at a discount. Ile referred
to Senator FESSENDEN (whose name elicited nine
cheers), as the man who had foiled the Radicals ill
their attempt to remove the PRESIDENT. As that
Senator has announced his intention of " stump-
ing" Maine for GRANT and COLFAX, it is more than
probable that they will meet and have an oPP°ra.
tunity of paying each other compliments. A more
interesting meeting still, took place at Denver, be-
tween the two candidates for the Vice-Presidency
Mr. COLFAX halted there a few days, addressing
the citizens socially, but not politically. If FRAM)
BLAIR arrived to time he reached Denver on the
10th, and COLFAX was not to leave till the 11th
August. It is stated that they met, and had
long and friendly talk, each freely reviewing the
political field and predicting his own election. gr'
COLFAX and party reached Georgetown on the
12th, and on the 19th they had returned to Cell:
tral City, which is north-west of Denver, and big'
up among the clouds. They had just arrived froro
Hot Springs, Middle Park, but on crossing th
mountains on the 18th, 15,000 feet above the
level of the sea, they had been overtaken by
heavy snowstorm. General GRANT remains at
Galena, 'lllinois, his intention, as announced,
being to return to Washington to-day (the
sth September) Mr. SEYMOUR remains at
New York, and General BLAIR continues 1:
the West. It is now considered certain that tb
PRESIDENT will support the Democratic ticket, as
n
will most of his Cabinet ; but Secretary SEW
AR
is reported to favour the Republican ticket, thouou
he has not said so officially, as will the Attorney
General, Mr. EVARTS.
The election in Idaho territory has resulted in
Democratic success. Judge Schaeffer, the /N(e,..
cratic candidate for delegate to Congress, is clie'
to be elected by 600 majority. Clement L. Via
digham has been nominated for Congress by the
Democrats of the Third District of Ohio. In
