THE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The two great States Of PennsyIrania and Ohio,
preceding all their sister States in the performance Of
that important duty gave their votes for Presidential
Electors FRIDAY last. From the former only have
we yet Of course, received any returns and some Of
these founded only rumor and other uncertain au
thoriiy Such as they are, however, we give them
without comment, as speculation and prediction will
alike he so superseded by certainty We shall
continue TO record the result quickly the returns
reach US
This day majority Of the remainder of the States
viii cast their votes namely, New Hampshire, Rhode
Island, Connecticut, Mary land, Virginia North Caro-
lima, Georgia, Kentucky, Indiana, Illinois, Missouri
Mississippi, Michigan, and Arkansas.
Tomorrow, the States of New York, Tennessee,
and Louisiana vote and New Jersey on that and the
day following Maine, Massachusetts, and Alab una,
on the llth, and Vermont and Delaware on the
18th.
The Electors meet at the seat Of Government of
their respective States on the first Monday in De-
cember and give their votes for President and Vice
President.
That a majority Of these votes will be given 10
Henry Clay for President we now repeat that we en-

The Intelligencer is in earnest 1t entertains
no doubt on the subsection it knops that Polk
is the man--tbat Clay never was designed TO be
our President.

OHIO

counties in Ohio--Belmont, Guernsey, and Ashta-
bula. We were at the post oiisS last night when the
mail was opened, and we received nothing by H. nor
did hear OF any returns coming an Il for any per
son. There came seila the mail slip Of paper adj
dressed To John S. skinner, Assistant Postmaster
General, which had written on il, ''Belmont, wing
gain 3d." without any name signed TO it. travel
Ter, Il was said brought news that the wings had
gained 70 Ia Guernsey. Now II is possible, and
barely possible, that returns, approaching to correct
ness, may have been received from these two coun-
ties, the mail which arrived here last night passed
through Guernsey early IN the night, and through
Belmont late al night, the night after the election
The mail which passed through Ashtabula the
night after the election will not reach here for day
or two to come. That county lies on lake Erie;
and we shall receive returns here from threeourths
OF the counties in the State before get returns

THE TORCH LIGHT PROCESSION.

| The Democratic procession by torch-light last
night says the NJ Y. True Sun, "a neutral paper) was
mighty demonstration. The line occupied about the
same time in passing given point as the Wing pro-
cessioD, but the yeh cles less and the
masses of humanity more compact The working
men belonging TO the party turned out in clouds, and
| their strong lungs made the welkn ring again. As
a pageant the Democratic display was scarcely
equal in beauty TO that of the Wings. The decora-
tons generally we're not so splendid, nor were the
notices SO terse and epgramatic The best of the
latter was 4" Red Hot Pokers," displayed by party
of men who seemed enthusiastic as their inscrip-
tons indicated. We heard the number of persons in
the procession estimated at 10000 and We think that
fair calculation. The difference therefore between
the numerical force of the S0th ut and the process
sion Of November l, was not very great. We are of
opinion, however, that the latter outnumbered the
former about $500 or 1000 Along the Bowery, and
indeed all the streets through which the gay aud gilt
ering line passed, many of the houses illumi.
mated and bedecked with flags and streamers, and
ladies' with candles and handkerchiefs in their hands,
waved welcome from the windows of several pri-
vate residences The line of the procession was il
Illuminated with pitch pine torches, and the light they
shed was sufficiently brilliant to render the inscrip-
ton on the banners visible.
The most conspicuous object in the show was a
ship, with all sail set. The top-gallant masts reach
ed as high as the dormer windows Of two story
house, and the hull contained about forty men and
boys. The banners were more numerous than in the
wing procession, and, on the whole, more elegant
The marching multitude seemed in high spirits and
perfectly good-humored We believe no Interrupt
ton was offered to them by their opponents, and af
ter passing through all the streets designated in the
programme, they dsbanded peaceably at the Park
about midnight. We must not omit to state that
there were several in the procession sentenced
according to the Inscriptions which accompanied
them to undergo an ignominious punishment The
little fellows, however, grinned and waved their
tails with the greatest sang frod-a except one,
which tied down so fast to his coffin that he could
not indulge in any such gambols.

LAUGHING ON TIE OTHER SIDE

Within the last week, Wings in this city thought
II no breach Of politeness to laugh outright in the
faces Of Democrats who presumed even to say that
they thought it probable that Mr. Polk would re.
ceivc the electoral vote Of Pennsylvania But no,
said their opponents such result is not possible
the tariff question will up entirely "poor Jimmy
Polk !" But the news from that State on Saturday
afternoon did not give them much confidence in this
important particular and not much as "hurrah "
faint or strong, heard from the who congre-
gated around the "Coopery," they themselves call
il in their songs, to hear the result proclaimed by one
of their biggest guns. However, to prevent their
smooth faces from elongatiug little too much and
to keep their courage up, their minstres met in the
evening and sung songs, thinking it the wiser policy
sS-s to drive their " dull care away" Anon a
6nAtet was let off, scattering Its blue light Stars and
sfHinsting the darkened sky Of Whiggery. The
