Elections.

Elections.
The elections in the east were charac-
,erized by want Of principle which com.
pletely eoiipses the one horse triokery and
duplicity by which this State was carried
for the fusionists. Ability and honesty
were tests which seemed not to be consid.
cred. Availability was paramount to all
other questions, and il in some instances
good men were. elected it was more the
result of accident than of merit. The
whole concern was heterogeneous con-
glomera,ion Of incongruous disoordance."
The New York Eapress says Of the
"The Bronson people have swollen Ull.
mann q vote IN all the quarters where they
have strength, in order to prevent the re-
election of Seymour. Party men, singu-
lar to say, have on all sides, more or less.
voted against their own nominal candi-
dates. There never was before suoh Curl
Gus and extraordinary voting"
The Albany Argus also says:
"More than half the Wing vote Of this
city went over to Seymour on the liquor
issue, whilst nearly the entire Democratic
vote, we are obliged to state. was thrown
for Ullmann, a small portion only going
for Seymour on the liquor question:
zone Of the most remarkable Incidents
of the day was the large number OF Ger
man votes polled for tlllmann. In every
district in the city, Irish adopted citizens
did the same thing, to the utter astonish-
ment Of ali beholders The Ullmann vote
in this city is not more than three-fourths
native born. 1t is clear that the Wings
made nothing by representing ullmann as
foreigner.
at is stated thatthe Germans Of Buffalo
also almost 10 a man voted the Know
Nothing ticket. ~
The result in the several States, so far
as heard from, is as follows: z3ias
NEW YORK. bas sao3
The result for Governor Of New York
cannot be ascertained TO any certainty
until the official returns are received, The
greater part OF the papers claim that Clark
the whig candidate is elected; the Tribune
and some others stously maintain that
Seymour the democratic candidate is
elected. Clark it seems staads the best
chance. Ullmann, the Know Nothing, is
several thousand in the rear Of both. All
the other candidates of the. whig party for
State Offices are elected by considerable
majorities. aa .b8YstlaaH,
The result for Congress stands "a wings

nominees; 5 Democrats; e Know-Noth,

For Congress the result is Wings and
Democrat. Vail, the Democrat who is
elected was in the last Congress and voted
for the Nebraska bill.
ILLINOIS.
Congress-5 wings, Fusionist, and I
Democrat, g districts to hear from.
MICHIGAN.
The Fusionists have carried everything
before them.a If we may judge from the
returns the Democrats had no candidates;
or perhaps they forgot when the day OF the
election came around, otherwise they
would have beat the whigs easy.
WISCONSIN,.
Congress-2 Democrats and Fusion
ist are elected Mr. w ashburn the Fusion
ist is the third of three brothers who are
chosen to the next Congress, from differ
ent States.
MASSACHUSETTS,.
The Know. N No,hIngs have almost made
a clean sweep. They have elected the
Governor, Lieutenant Governor. all the
Congressman, and 341 osu Of 3A8 mem
bers of the State Lesislsture. By being
elected by the KnowsN othings is meant
by their assistance, and not by them ex
clusively.. s4aa@..5 .

Caasey the American candidate to-
Governor, and Calm the American can
didets for Congress ase elected. Whethe
American means Know Nothing or India1
