Although our returns of the elections which took
place in Pennsy lvanis, Ohio, and Indiana, are not
by any means SO complete as could be desired, they
are at least sufficient to show the strength of the
different parties in those States. The democrats
have carried Pennsylvania by an overwhelming
majority-probably not less than twelve or four
teen thousand. They are also reported to have
carried Ohio by not less than two thou
rand majority. These victories are certainly
very cheering to the democrats; but, then, their
opponents-the whigs-are consoling themselves
with the hope of having carried Ohio by a handsome
vote. According to the returns, they have gained
some three thousand on the vote for Governor
in 1850.
The election for Mayor and City Couucilnen was
held in Baltimore yesterday. The democrats elected
their candidate for the former Office by over three
thousand msjority-a tremendous gain.
The recent outrages and insults perpetrated to-
wards American citizens and the flag Of the repub-
Lie, by the Spanish authorities in Cuba, have had
their effect the two great parties in this metro
polls, will be by the reports in columns,
Of two meetings held on that subect-one an out Of
door mass meeting by the wings, at the Broadway
House; and the other less considerable one by the
democrats, at Tammany Hall. The report of
the wing meeting will be found peculiarly
rich, and Astounding in passages of lofty elo-
quence, which show a Characteristic independence
of such rules and restrictions as Lindley Murray
had sought to impose those who speak the English
tongue. There were some very queer principles and
propositions preached by the speakers. At one
breath, one was for asking the Spanish government
quietly and modestly to apologize 70 America, and
at the next, for battering down the Moro Castle,
and sending orr army and navy to take care Of
Cuba Another suggested that General Scott
himself should be sent on the .fdibustero exped-
tion deputing his duties chief magistrate to the
: Vice President while the charman-wiser than
both these togtther-thought that General Scott
should be either sent to school appointed school
master in chief to the nation One thing vas
quite evident from the speeches made-that if the
scboolmaster be abroad on an electoneerng expedi-
ton, he ought to be sent for with all convenient
speed to teach the rudimepts of education to some
of our wing ward orators. Read the report.
The city of Boston appears to have been thrown
into great state of excitement by the Webster
wings, last evening. The streets were enlvened by
grand torch light procession, houses were illumi-
mated, and the horizon was made bright by Gre
works The scene in State street is described as
having been truly magnificent. Nine cheers were
given in response to the announcement Of the Web
ster electoral ticket in this State.
Gen. Scott yesterday proceeded from Buffalo to
Niagara Falls. He made two or three short speeches
to the people on the route, and rather longer
at the dinner table at the Falls, all Of which is
graphically reported under our telegraphic head.

Inhabitants Of that place with address.
