THE ELECTION.

Pennsyluania.-The Reporter, Var
Buren, paper at Harrisburg, says the Of
fetal vote shows Harrison majority o
|247.
Nev Iork.--Harrison majority abou
1000.
Maine.-Harrison mai. about 1000.
Rhode Island. Harrison majority
1876. This is the largest majority in
proportion TO the number of votes polled
and entities little Rhody to the Banner.
Observation-Disclosures maj. 6.3s2.
Neao Disqualification maj. 1851.
Observation-Disclosures maj. $500.
Indiana. Harrison maj. over IL, 600.
Kentucky.-Har. maj. about 20, 900.
Ohio.-Harrison maj. near 5000.
Wichigan.-Harris maj. 1900.
1ennessee.-Harrison maj. $4,000.
Observation-Disclosures maj. 1000.
Observation-Disclosures maj. $500,
Georgia. -Harrison maj. 5000.
permont.-Harrison maj. 10000.
The above majoriries, which amount to
/ 10 $50, are not all official, bu, we
think the official returns will not vary the
result 10 any great extent. We may look
for an increase in these majori,ies when
the returns from North Carolina and Mas.
sachusetts and little Delaware come in
The majorities which Van Buren, receives
from New Hampshire, South Carolina
Missouri, Illinois and Arkansas, will OIL
course have to be deducted. If he gets
Virginia and Alabama, the majorities vii
probably be very inconsiderable.

~ The Administration presses are
endeavoring to console their party that
it is simply owing to accidental causes
that they have been defeated, and cheer
their friends by saying that their defeat
will only last four years. Truly. drown
ing men catch at s.raws. They should
remember that, taking the whole popu-
lar vote of sc, Van Buren, is minority
President, and that all the Wings have
wanted for the last IL years to ensure
success, was Union. BY having united
this time they have elected their man
by more than one hundred thousand ma
jority. We think they will now stay
united; and if they do, the Locos can
have no hope Of ever again succeeding.

interior of Ohio still believe that Shan

pies in letting their readers know tina,
Harrison is elected President. 1t is moi
so, however, with all. We have before

Chapman and we are now X. 0.
After delaying our paper a few days
to announce the election Of Mr. Van Blu.
rem, we thought it tiresone to wait lon.
ger, and now we announce the election
of DR. William Henry Harrison.
We deem it unnecessary to give, in
this number, tables of the votes in the
different states, as none of them are yet
official, and generally imperfect. Enough
however is known to warrant the belief,
that in Pennsylvania the wings have sue
ceeded by majority of from $50 to
$50 votes. New York, also has given
Harrison majority. The vote Of these
two states decides the fate of the election
in favor Of the wings beyond all con.ro.
versy.
Kentucky, Ohio, Indiana, Maryland,
Connecticut, Rhode Island, Maine, New
Jersey and Tennessee, have gone fol
the wings. Illinois, Virginia and Michi.
gan are still doubtful.
Missouri and New Hampshire are the
only states we have any certainty Of
having gone for Mr. Van Buren,.

"Good Society People." The refine.
ment, decency and good breeding of the
''good society," federalists is manifested
thus: When they receive news of wing
gain, they throw themselves into all sorts
of agonizing attitudes, laugh Justify at the
democrats, drink hard cider or hard bran
dy till it fairly runs over at their ears,
and sally forth into the streets yelling
like pack of hungry hounds let loose
upon the chase. This they consider a
decent way of showing their politeness.
When defeat comes upon them, they drop
their ears, sing mum, and are as gentle
and harmless as little lambs. This they
consider refined way Of showing their
good breeding-bearing the shock with
out betraying any emotion. We have
seen these "well-bred people," within
the last week, in both these attitudes,
and we must say they demesned them
selves much in accordance with their pro-
verbal rules of politeness.
