THE ELECTIONS

tons that will bear up against any thing. The
Boston Post, the Van Buren organ of Massachu-
acts, is as wearicd as we are--but his is the
labor Of recording defeats The editor has,
therefore, given notice that he shall give no
more indefinite returns, but assuring his readers
at the same time, that should any state happen
to vote for his candidate, he will let them know
it! Now, we have mind to adopt the sane
course, and cut off our election rcports-with
the assurance that slou!d any state 60 against
the brave old hero Of 7Ippecanoe, we will advise
them of the wonderful event. Meantime we
will dispatch the election news Of the day with
coIsumate brcvy.
NERMoNT.--The crests of the green noun
tains are radiant with glory.
ljSince the foregoing paragraph was written
we have farther advices from this noble state
The increase of the Wing majoritics is prodi-
gous every where. There will be over four
thousand majority in the county of Windsor
which beats Gdncsce. The papers and letters
arc now claiming mojority of from fifteen to
eighteen thousand. If SO, Vermont will be the
BANNER STATE.
DELAwARE--smal in size, though noble in
heart, has in one respect beaten every state in
the Union She has not only carried every
county for Harrison, but has not elected a single

Observation-Disclosures from fifteen counties,
thirteen of which have given majorties for IIar-
rison, to the amount of 66:}2 votes. Two have
given Van Buren, majorties to the amount of

and counted upon for the state.
INDANA.-The fires of liberty are sweeping
glorously over the praries. The majorities for
Old Tip, az far as heard from, amount to 1909
being gain since August OF 1926.
ILIINors.--llcre, too, the prairies are on fire,
The Wing gains, in the counties heard from,
amount to 1865 votes. And it is quite certain
that ifthe gains thus far should be swelled in the
same ratio through the state, the electors will
be for Harrison, notwiths a1d,ns G immense
foreign vote cast against him along the lines Of
their public works.
| MIssouRL--There are few more imperfect
returns from the vicinity of ST. Louis-all highly
favorable to the Wings. But these towns and
counties, being within the region of civilization,
have always been Wing. There is no hope of
the state. The interior will go strong fof Vaa
Buren--or any body else whom Colonel Benton
may tell them to support.
LouIsIANA.--The election closed OH the eve
ming OF the 4th, in fine style. The vote of New
Orleans was far greater than has ever been cast
before. The canvass had not been made. A
large Wing majority is claimed. Nobody doubt.
ed that the State had gone for Harrison.
TENNEsEE.--Addtiona returns confirm the
go ID news Of yesterday. Notwithsrand all
the cxcr,ions Of Gen. Jackson, the election pre-
cinct of the Hermitage has given 10l votes for
Harrison, and only 20 for Van Buren, Somuch
for the growls of the lion. Folks majority in
the state last year was 1853. In the ten coun-
ties heard from, this majority has already been
overcome, and our friends now claim the State
for Harrison by ten thousand.
| OnIo.--Thcre is no need Of counting the
votes any more. In the sixty-seven counties
officially returned, they stand as follows
| For HaIrisou. ................ S93
For Nau Buren,. ....................92s9
| Harrisons majority .......................2i5O 500
MASSACHUSETTS.
The Boston papers give all the returns en-
cept from five towns, showing a majority for
HARRISON Of more than l7,000!! The aggre-
gate vote is about l2500O. State Legislature
the Senate will probably have five sixths OF
its members Wing, and three fourths of the
House at least will be of the same complexion.
TEN Wing Members of Congress are elected,
and one Tory (Parmcnter) In one district
that heretofore represented by Williams, Tory,
there is no choice.
MIcluGAN-The Wolverines have not only
torn Van Burensm to pieces, but eaten it up
Even the ancient fortress of Michilimackinock--
now cut down to Mackinaw-has at last surren-
dercd to the Wings. This post has changed
hands often-t having belonged to the Indians
and then to the French, and then to the Van
Buren, men, and last OF all to the Wings. The
State is equally safe. Two thousand majority
for the Harrison electors, the Congressman and
both branches Of the Legislature. Well done
therefore, the fresh water peninsula.
NORTH CARoLINA-The following returns
have reached us from North Carolina. They
show that all is right there:
PasQuetank, 525 Harrison mai.
Perquimars, 463 g"
Chowan, III
There are other reports of favorable results
but nothing authentic. Inthe above three coun.
ties, there is wing gain of 256 on the election
of last August for Governor. when Mosehead
