TnE NOVEMBER ELEcr1oNs.--We publish in
another part Of this paper list Of the Novem-
Der State elections and the various tickets up
in each for the SURFACES Of the dear people.
Louisiana leads off on Monday, Nov. s. Here
three State tickets are in the feld-the demo-
cratic, the Catholic Know Nothing, and the
ANTI Catholic Know Nothing. Most likely
from this division Of the Know Nothings, the
democratswill carry the State. -Four members
of Congress to be elected.
Mississippi, Nov. and 6.--This State is di-
vided between the democratic and the Ameri-
can tickets, and both parties appear to be
sanguine of success. Five members of Con-
gress to be elected. The democrats have
full ticket, while the Know Nothngs in the
First district are running two candidates, and
in the Second none at all This indicates
lack Of that unity and discipline essential to
complete success on the part of the Know
Nothings and it will rather astonish us in
these ATTITUDES if they beat the administration
and jeff Davis secession democracy of Misss-
sipp. The thing has not been done since
Gen. Foote left for California.
New York, Nov. 6.-Seven State tickets in
the field--the democratic hard shell, the
democratic soft shell, the Know Nothing, the
black republican, the liquor dealers, the anti
Maine law, and the liberty party tickets.
Among all these tickets, the only thing of
which we are positively certain is, that Fred.
Douglass, (black man, the candidate of the
liberty party for Secretary of State, will be
defeated--distinctly and unequivocally defeat
republicans to Preston King. For the present,
we leave the rest to the people
New Jersey, Nov. Collection for Legis-
lature and county officers. Not much excite
ment, as the result will be of very little gene
raj Importance, excepting to the Camden and
Amboy Railroad monopoly, which, we sup
pose, will be duly protected by the faithful
subjects of the Emperor.
Wisconsin, Nov. 6.-State officers and Legis-
lature. The contest is between the black
republican fusionsts and the democrats. The
fusitionists are confident of victory, and per-
haps, from the excessive weakness Of the
Pierce administration in Wisconsin, they may
succeed; perhaps not, as the German demo-
cratic element is very large.
Maryland, Nov. State officers and six
members of Congress to be elected. Two tick
ets-the democratic and the Know Nothing
will divide the popular vote. Active and ex-
cited contest. Maryland is a fluctuating State,
but has generally been whig upon strict and
important party canvass. But as the old wing
party is defunct, and as this is the first State
trial of the new Know Nothing party, the de-
mocrats expect q decisive victory. At all
events, they have been exceedingly animated
andlively in Maryland since the election Of Wise
in Virginia, johnson in Tennessee, and john
son in Georgia
| Massachusetts, Nov. Estate officers. Four
tickets up-the democratic, the "live whig,"
the Know Nothing and the black republican.
Result doubtful; fair chance for the demo-
crats--the general opposition being divided
upon three tickets Should John Van Buren,
| carry New York by fifty thousand soft she'll
plurality, we may rely upon the election of
Beach in Massachusetts by ten thousand.
Such, with Territorial election in Nebraska
on the 9th, is the schedule of our November
elections. They will complete the list of men,
bers for the new Congress, and materially con-
tribute to enlighten us in reference to the re-
construction of parties for the great campaign
of 1856. Only let us have fair day and fair
play on Tuesday, and New York will astonish
the world
