Ohio Election.

Chase is gaining. He will not only be elect
ed but viii have majority over BOTH oppo-
nents. We shall not be surprised to hear that
he beats Medill by 10000. The returns cop
led from the Cincinnati Gazette, show that he
is already about 5000 ahead, and % coun-
ties to hear from that gave 1900 majority
last Fall:
The returns yesterday came in slowly, but
the reports continued highly favorable for
Chase, and the indications now are that his
majority in the State will be over twenty
thousand, and that his vote will be larger than
that of Trimble and Medill. Some of the
counties heretofore reported give Chase larger
majorities than those published yesterday
morning. Lorain, which was reported at 300,
gave 1000; Logan, instead of 500, gave 632;
Greene, instread of 100, gave 968; Clermont,
instead of $50 for Medill, gave $50 for Chase.
Having corrected the aggregate majorities al
ready published, we continue our report:

Hon. Archabold Dixon, in letter to the
Committee of the Kentucky Democratic State
Convention, thinks the Republic is in great
danger, and that it will require all the sound
national men of the country to save it-but
that he belongs to no party but his country.
Yet he Immediately afterwards says the Dem
ocratic party is the only party that can defeat
at the next Presidential election, the abolition
lists and free-soilers of the North, and to ac-
complish this object he will mot only unite
with them, but war with them to the DEATH"
Mr.. Dixon warred against that party to the
death over quarter of a century. He will not
probably have very long to war nth them to
reach the dying point of that party. 1t will
not live long enough, we presume, to give him
the reward of which he is no doubt in con f.
dent expectation. We are sorry that Mr..
Dixon is indulging in the idea, that all those
parties and national men, with whom he has
acted all his life time have turned abolitionists
1t is very singular affair to say the least off it,
that there should have been Just such change
among this great and patriotic band of men,
and nobody has discovered it but afew dirty Old
Line editors and orators, and Senator Dixon.
Now we can tell him that the Old Wing party,
nnety-nine hundreths of whom are now act
ing with either the American or Republican
party North, have experienced no such change
in their slavery principles. They are just as
much National men now as when Senator
Dixon acted with them. They are just as
true to their country, and to all interests con-
with the ohOle country, as they ever were. And
| it will not do for man who has left them, to
charge that these hundreds of thousands have
changed their opinions, while he and the little
squad who have acted like him, are the only
consistent and reliable Wings left. Mr.. Dixon
knows better than this. He knows that in
joining those against whom he has warred a
lifetime and from whom he and his old coad-
tutors never received anything else than scoun-
drelly abuse, he made sacrifice of principle
and duty, for selfish motives. 1t is useless for
him now to endeaEor to turn upon others, the
contempt and condemnation, which belong
only to himself

OF Mr.. Holden, Deputy Sheriff, informs
US that himself, not Mr.. Gavitt, is responsible
for any errors which many have been commit
in notifying the officers of different townships
of the late election, as such duty had fallen
upon himself Mr.. Holden disclaims any in
te1tion of committing errors, if such errors
occurred. Mr.. Holden need not be informed,
that although the proper notice was not given
to all townships we do not suppose for mo-
ment he would purpose be guilty of such ne
eject The charge of this having been nil
ful omission, arose from the remark of PROM
inent Old Liner be fore the election, and which
remark pointed out such omission as means
of getting rid Of Adlersbergi if he were elected.
Whether this omission occurred purposely OF
not would have probably made no difference
had the Old Line clique found it necessary te
contest Adlersberg's elect ion.

Indiana Election.

T1pPEcANoE gave 331 majority against Ortiz
for Circuit Judge. The Journal says that some
rather cheering news r,m up the Wabash was
received, but we presume Mr.. Ingram has beat
en- Mr.. Ortiz by considerable majority. Chas
Naylor was elected Prosecutor by the vote OF
White County. No nominations were made,
and no vote given for this officer, except about
$50 in Tippecanoe for Reile, and $50 for Nay
lor in White. Rather queer oversight.
WHITE Co. gives Ingram ever Orth ESQ ma
jority.
Benton and JASPER, the Americac thinks, will
give Ingram majority in the Ciruit of
about 600.
BOONE gives 300 ''old line" majority, q slight
advance on the vote eflsst yssr, ws believe.

Quite an excitement prevailed at Cincinnati
last week, among the -four spectators and
holders The Canada brought the news of a
rise in -four. But the Canadas news was
from some cause held back nearly day from
the Cincinnati press, and in the mean time
Eastern spectators in -four telegraphed by
cyphers to their agents in Cincinnati, to buy
up all the -four they could. Consequently
there were large purchases, and as -four at
once rose in price half adollar when the steam
sr's news was known, some Of the fancy gen.
tlemen made thousand or two dollars just as
easy as they would white piece of pine
single to point. The Commercial is very
indignant, and thinks there was heavy fraud
somewhere among the telegraphers. The
Canada's news was published In the Journal
by telegraph promptly. Those persons who
don't take the Journal, will scarcely be able to
keep up with the SPECTATORS.

The Fourth Annual State Fair will COM
mence tomorrow at indianapolis, and last
three days. The most extensive preparations
have been made for the accommodation of Wis
itors, stock, &C., and for the general exhibition
There are Refreshment halls, and halls for the
exhibitions of mechanical works, farming i'm
plements, and farm, garden and dairy products,
each "a by 100 feet; also Reporters Hail. for
members Of the Press, 20 by 40 feet. The
latter is new and very observable feature
Editors are here supplied with convenient
desks, stationary, and refreshments! They can
20 to this Hall and prepare their reports with
great comfort. There are also two large tents
--one for Floral productions and the other for
useful and ornamental articles. Resides these
are the Secretary and Treasurer's offices, and
large eating hall. The Republican says the
horse ring is a beautiful piece of ground, of an
elliptical form. The distance around is lit
Gle over one-fourth of mile. The large cat
tie ring is PIP feet in diameter, and small
cattle ring 80 feet in diameter. The space to
be occupied by the hog-pens is 400 feet; for
sheep, 256 feet; for horses, 600 feet; cattle,
1880 feet; for poultry, 800 feet,-the pens,
stalls, and coops to be built double, so as to
save space and timber. There will be coops
for poultry, so that all may stand on the same
footing as regards their appearance
Many of the citizens of Indianapolis will keep
open houses during the Fair. We presume a
great many persons will go from this part of
the State. They will be taken by the Rail-
roads at half price to and from the Capital.
We had hoped to be able to visit this Fair, but
hope has almost fed with the accumulation
lately Of pressing duties at home.

point:

Return Of the Arctic Expedition.

The vessels fitted out, under the resolution
of Congress of last winter, to search for DR..
Kane and companions, who were themselves
in search Of Franklin and his crews, returned
to New York on Thursday, bringing with
them the adventurous Explorer, and most of
his men. They were found at Disco's Island
to which they had returned after penetrating
to the s1st parallel. The news says that
Kane's vessel, the Rescue, was frozen in ct the
extreme northern point reached, and he and
the crew had to winter in her, procuring pro-
visions from Indian villages. On the opening
of spring, they left their vessel, and made their
way to Uppernavik, in Greenland, whence
they were taken by a Danish vessel to Disco's
Island Three of the crew died. The relief
expedition penetrated as far north as the 10Th
degree, when the ice stopped them. Having
made their way to land, they learned from
the Indians where Kane had gone, and follow
ed him.

List Of Awards.

We publish to-day list of the decisions Of
the various committees who were called upon
to award prizes at our County Fair of last
Saturday. Many of the committees had great
difficulty in awarding prizes, as all the articles
submitted to them seemed so equally balanced
in quality, that any distinction seemed an
invidious one, and subjected the committee to
complaint We have no doubt all the COM
mittees acted according to the best of their
judgment, unbiased by personal feelings
They may console themselves, if they feel
their decisions have been subject of complaint,
that any other decisions might have had the
same result. The report of the Butter Com
mittee is before us, in which they labor under
the difficulty of deciding which was the best
sample where all appears equally excellent
And so it was with many others. The prizes
were of no great intrinsic value, only honorary.
We therefore do not publish the prizes, but
only those entitled to them and to Diplomas
Next year, we may look for something more
substantial. The Secretary of the Society.
Mr.. Philip Hornbrook, deserves the thanks of
the community for his arduous labors, which
conduced so much to the success of our first
Annual County Fair. He has devoted weeks
of hard work to this enterprise, and with
nearly everything thrown upon his shoulders,
proved himself strong enough for the task
The success Of the Fair is happy compliment
to himself

WISCONSIN,.

According to the returns from the several COun-
ties, as originally reported, Coles Bashford, the
Republican candidate, was chosen Governor Of
Wisconsin and the official canvass, reelecting W.
A. Barstow (Dem.) by 159 majority, is received
with very general surprise and suspicion of foal
play. A letter to The Buffalo Express says:
MADISON, Wis., Monday, Dec, IT, 1855.
"FnrxsD CLArr: To-day came to Madsoo, the
capital Of WiscoLsin There ia a vast amount of ex-
cit ment among politicians here, and through the
State in regard to he result Of the late election. As

the Republican ca s6idate for Governor, and Mr.. Bar

To-day the State s completed at the Capitol,

Republicans claim that great fraud perpetrated
by the County Cav of ceitsin counties, Of

Wsnpsca County, there were polled acsordiuy to Of

habiants in the town all tOd-men, women and chill

turned their official statement, which gave Barstow,
the Democratic candidate, some 200 majority. Bat
the leading spirits of the fraud began 10 that Mr.
Bsrstow was likely to lose bis election, and found
alte rnative bu to increase his returns 10 the back
distant count les of the Stale. Hence, asserte5
the State Cenv sssers dispatched a. agent to Waupsca
County who returned toe canvass to different tow

The official return from Waupaca County
gives Barstow SOC, Bashford 1856 votes. This
county made no return last year, being newly
organized The County of Ozaukee, which last
year gave BilliDghurt (Rep) 500 votes to 252 for
Macy (Eeb }, is now reported as giving Barssow
$50 to al for Bashford. This, we presume, is q
swindle. We presume Bashford was elected by
the People, but that Barstow will keep the Office
by the help of such returns as the above.
