Election News,

The indications at present 60 to show that
the Fusionists have elected every Congressman
in the State by overwhelming majorities, and
also the Republican State ticket.
In the 9th District Cooper K. Watson, Fu-
sion candidate for Congress, has been elected
by from 1000 to 5000 majority. This has here
tofore been cne Of the strongest Democratic Dis
tricts in the State.
Returns from Pennsylvania indicate that
those receiving the Know Nothing vote for Gov
ernor and Canal Commissioner arc elected
the latter by majority without precedent in
Pennsylvania. Pollock, Wing, has no doubt
beaten Gov. Bigler, Dem, by handsome ma
jority-and Mott, Dem, is elected Canal Com
missioner, over Darsie, Wing. For Supreme
Court, Black, Dem, has no doubt plurality.
The Anti-Nebraska Congressional delegation
are thought to be all elected but it is not posi-
lively known yet
As near as can be ascertained, the majorities
for Mr.. Sherman, for Congress-, are as follows:
Huron County 900, Erie 500, Richland 400,
and Morrow 300-tatal in tho district about
$500.
The entire Democratic County ticket in Rich
land County have been elected, with the excep-
tion of George Hacket, for Commissioner, Mes
SCR Barker, of the Republican ticket having
been elected We have not been able to learn
the majorities Of but few,of the candidates. Ny
ers' majority is about 220O, Williams 200, Hig-
gins 600.
In Huron County the Republicans have cleo
ted their whole ticket The average majority
for County and State ticket is about 1900, with
the exception Of Probate Judge and Auditor,
who fell considerably behind the rest of the
ticket
From the appearance Of things in both Hur-
on and Richland counties, we should Judge that
the Know Nothings have figured pretty cxten-
rive in the county elections,

Close of the First Volume.

TO THE PATRONS OF THE ADVERTISERS
With this number closes Volume /, of the
Plymouth Advertiser. The enterprise was
commenced under great difficulties and discour-
aging circumstances An attempt had been
made only short time previous to establish
paper at this point, but failed, not by any neg
lect on the part Of its supporters, but for want
of management and energy on the part Of its
conductor. This failure operated against us.
Many of the best supporters of the first enter
prise looked coldly upon the second, and were
but little disposed to aid in forwarding it. Not
withstanding all that, we determined to make
the trial We did so, and we went at it with
the determination that if it failed, it should be
no fault of ours.
The result is gratifying. Every week has
added new names to our list, and every day has
given US new business. Our list is larger at the
end Of the first year than we had anticipated in
three. That style of appreciation meets our
views exactly.
Thus encouraged we shall redouble our ex-
ertions during the coming year. We commence
next week, by putting on an entire new dress
ind altering the appearance of the paper in
every particular. The heading will be much
smaller and neater, every type new, and the
sheet enlarged sufficiently togive three columns
additional The advertising will hereafter oc-
cupy less space.
During the next year we shall have more
time to devote to the paper, and of course, will
improve it editorially. We shall strive to keep
our readers well informed as to the News of
the Day, aud if care and labor avails We shall
succeed. Particular attention will be paid to
local news, and the occurrences in the neigh
borhood. To sum all up, we shall put forth
our best endeavors to present to our patrons, a
good, readable, reliable FAMILY NEWSPAPER
one which will be welcome visitor to the
farmer, mechanic and merchant. Our course
will be as heretoforc--strictly independent,
speaking our minds freely and fully, though
temporarily, upon every subject coming before
the public. Our subscription-list is proof that
such paper is appreciated here, and such We
intend to continue it.
70 our patrons and those who have aided in
establishing the Advertiser, we return our most
sincere thanks And will they not now, use the
same exertion they did year ago, and by in
creasing -the patronage, enable us to give still
better paper Our improvements shall keep
pace with the increase of the subscription. VIII
our friends make an effort for US?
P. S. We dislike dunnng and don't wish
to be considered as doing any of it now but
would merely insinuate, that money is very &C
ceptable just now. Step up, gentlemen. We
required no pay at the begi ming, until you
were satisfied as to the permanency of the pa
per. We have performed our part of the con-
tract, and would suggest that the coming week
will be an excellent and most appropriate time
for the performance of yours.

We learn from a gentleman who has
inst returned te this city from Kansas,
where he has been ever since the passage
Of the Territorial Government bill, that,
SO far, no slaves have been carried into
the Territory, though many Arkansas and
Missouri shareholders and other South
ern States citizens have taken up claims
there. Up to very recent period the
Southern settlers greatly outnumber those
from The Northern states who are going
in there. Now, however, the tide seems
to have changed. According to the views
of this intelligent and usually wel-in-
formed gentlemon. ere the next Presi~
dental election comes off, Kanzas will
have formed her State Constitution, and
will be knocking at the door of Con-
gress for admission into the Union as a
State. Wash. Star.

ANOTHER APOLOGY.

We are obliged, this week, to make another
apology for the reduced size Of our paper, and
for the lack Of editorial and other matter. Our
excuse for the first defect is that we could not
procure paper of the right sire for love or mo-
new, for the reeond, our time has been taken
mp, this week, in arranging our offce, and pre-
pairing for the second volume. Next week We
will make it all right positively.
