The results of the Presidential election yet
" known but enough known show very nearly the posi-
ton Of parties IN the country
The Loocos have elected their President and majority Of
the House, and they probably have carried tccn States Wis

Michigan, South Carolina, Georgia, Virginia. Albamu, Ms
sip Missouri and Acknowledging six FREQ states und
slave states OF these, New York and Pennsylvania have
quosonaby been carried by fraud mud third pusm combined
These two, together with Virgnu Georgia and Mississippi
castng 90 electoral votes nearly balanced between the To-
aud Wings, and fair fight hereafter would doubtless be
divided between them
Tho HMgs have half Of u s. certain and an
equal chance for majority in that body They have ALSO prob
ably, thtecn states viz. Massachusetts, Vermont, Com

But this matter remains to be presented in another and
still favorable light for tho Wings In the place,
they relieved from that responsibility for tho government
