PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION.

The election for President has now taken
place in all the States, (except South Carolina,
which chooses her Electors by the Legislature
and the returns are coming in Such as have
been received, we give below; and we are free
to confess, that in their complexion, we are de-.
ceived. The result of the contes, is extremely
doubt(ul-but we incline 10 the belief the chances
are in our favor New York is the pivot on
which turns the Presidential contest which ever
one OF the candidates receives her electoral vote
(conceding Tennessee to Mr., Clay will be the
successful one.
The returns are yet too incomplete to give
them by counties, but sufficient have been re-.
ceived 10 determine the vote Of several States.
ILLINOIS.
As was expected by all, Polk will receive the
the vote Of this State, by large majority.
INDIANA.
The contest in this State is very close. The
wings concede it to their opponents by about
fifteen hundred majority. Their majority will
probably exceed this.
The wings Of Ohio have done we'll. Mr..
Clay's majority will be over five thousand.
KENTUCKY.
No one entertains any doubt as to how this
State has voted. but no reliable estimate ca yet
be formed as to what will be the wing majority.
1t will probably exceed eight thousand.
TENNESSEE.
Eighteen counties have been heard from, in
which Polk has gained on the vote he received
when candidate for Governor 1900. These
counties give about one third OF the popular
vote Of the State, and are in the Middle District
which is the locofoco portion of the State. East
and west Tennessee are wing. The Nashville
Wing thinks the vote Of the State is in favor of
Mr.. Clay. The majority will be small.
PENNSYLVANIA.
Contrary to the expectations Of many whigs
and to her own interests, Pennsylvania has un
dcubtedly cas-: her vote for Polk, by majority
of from five TO eight thousand.
VIRGINIA.
Five counties have been heard from, which
show a wing gain Of five hundred and fifty. five
votes in favor Of Mr.. Clay. We never have
expected Virginia to vote for the wings. The
returns received are favorable, and many who
considered the State certain for Polk, have some
doubt as to the result. If she votes for Clay,
we shall be agreeably disappointed. New York
is the State now looked to with anxiety by all
parties.

HOWARD CoUNTY-FoREIGN VOTE.

HOWARD CoUNTY-FOREIGN VOTE.
F The last "Democrat" was not half so rich as
we expected. Its friends and the public were
disappointed. But a writer over the Signature Of
"Vindex," aided by certificate of the Clerk,
attempted to prove that Col. Polk received a
majority Of eigh resident votes in this county.
With the certi6cs,s OF the Clerk we have moth,
ing TO do. 1t is extraoficial, and in relation TO
some of the townships, is certainly Incorrect
This, all admit, who have examined the subject.
Since, however, it has become a question, we
have taken some pains to ascertain the result,
and will give it to our readers in spirit OF can
dor and impartalty.
The democratic party, ii is known, had men
stationed at the different polls to challenge voters
Nothing Of this kind was attempted or thought
Of by the wings. This circumstance insured the
marking Of every foreign wing vote. and Of
itself gave the democrats great advantage in
their desperate snd abortve effort 10 carry the
county. But in this they failed, as the following
table will show:

As she agreed with neither, they both pitched

to know if that was tom cat or not. Mrs VAIN

Mrs Chimneypot, "that's nothing to do with the

"Oh, but it is" replied Mrs. vaintile; "who ever
seed true proper tom cat without ears and no tail

by a very portly and handsome tom cat, to whom
they again referred for his opinion. With suavity
of manner and apempous catawau, he Indignantly
exclaimed, ''That ere tom cat"' He spat at lin
with contempt Mrs. Valntile was In high glee.-
"Why that thing was not respectable /; he was cut

CoRREcTIoN.-I the case of the People VS.. Chas
Radcliffe, which was tried on Friday, the porter
house of James Brown was spoken of in the report
of the trial as being ga well known resort fol
English thieves, pickpockets, burglars and counter
letters" We are satisfied that this statement was
calculated to do injustice to Mr.. Brown. On the
trial one of the police officers stated he had seen
thieves go in and out Of the house, but certainly il
would be very unjust TO censure any public house
keeper on that account, as their doors must ncces
sarily be open to ALL and they cannot of course be
supposed to know every person who calls at their
house. We understand that Mr.. Brown Is an
honest, industrious and respectable citizen, and
can refer, to his character, to some Of our most
respectable citizens.

FRUIT TREEs.-To the lovers of good fruit we
would say examine the Catalogue of p. Doane &
Sons Nursery, located at Shutdown, Long Island.
II contains large variety of Fruit and Ornamen-
tai Trees, Shrubbery, &c. of very choice varieties,
and offers an excellent opportunity to those who
wish TO purchase trees, as it is new establish
msnt and the trees have not been culled, and the
prices Of nearly all the articles have been greatly
reduced from former rates. II must prove great
convenience to persons wanting trees in the mid
die of the island These trees are delivered in
New York free of expense to the purchaser. We
have one of their catalogues before us that shows
very choice selection. We would advise our
friends to examine their stock before purchasing
elsewhere We see their catalogues may be had
by applying at 80 Wall street.

IMPORTANT FROM THE AFRICAN SoUADRoN.-By
private advices pia England from the African squa-
dron, up to the night of the 30th of November, we
are informed that Commodore Perry was engaged
in an. effort TO obtain tho surrender of the murder
ers Of the crew of the schooner Mary Cutler, from
the native tribes inhabiting the coast, near which
that unfortunate vessel was taken.
The Commodore had been twice ion shore, es.
corted by sixteen boats of the squadron. and four
hundred marines and light armed seamen, and had
held two paiapns with the chiefs, but with little
prospect of success, although it was known that
the murdercrs were concealed in the town.
1t was expected that on the LIST of December q
landing would be made for the purpose of inAictns
summary punishment by burning the town, when
it was thought the negroes would make an obstinate
defence. We shall therefore look for the next
news from the squadron with somewhat OF an
anxious interest.
