WASHINGTON CITY.
SATURDAY MORNING, NOV. s, 1855.
TIE PREsIpENTIAL ELEoTION.

The returns received by telegraph yesterday only
the confident belief expressed by Us in our s
issue that Mr. Buchanan win receive at least ITO probably
TIA votes Of the electoral college We stated yesterday that
the report originating with Mr. Wentworth, Of the Chicago
Democrat that the black republicans had carried Illinois,
was too absurd merit serious contradiction. Our
filth in the nynebiity of the democracy OF Illinois was
founded not upon information Of contradictory char
acterfor far concerned the telegraph
provokingly sientbut upon lively recollection Of long
and unbroken series of umphs which they had achieved
We surprised then, when at late hour yests
day afternoon the following despatch from Judge Doug
Las addressed to gentleman In this city placed at
our disposal:
CHIoAoo Nov. Illinois gives Buchanan about eight
thousand majority Fremont Five democrats elected to
Congress against four aboonts Both branches Of the
legislature democratic by decisive msjores. The State
ticket rendered doubtful by the Fillmore going with the
Abolitionsts. 5. A. DOUGLAS.
Partial returns from Missouri show democratic gains
compared with the last governors election.
The democratic majortes in Kentucky and Tennessee
promise to be much larger than first reported.
We have a despatch from North Carolina stating that
Mr. Buchanans majority in that State will exceed fifteen
thousand although thsre may be falling off in the whole
vote as compared with the last governors election
The probabilities that in Wisconsin three black
ncans and one democrat have been elected to Congress
The State has gene for Fremont
despatch from Senator Jones' dated at Dubuque, No
vsmber says aYou may add Iowa to the glorious Bu-
chspau democratic pyramid" 1t is said that despatch
containing the ssme gratifying information has been
csived in this city from Judge Mason who is now in
Iowa.
We have by telegraph incomplete returns from all the
COMMITTEES in New York but They show that Fremont
has received 5000 votes Buchanan $4,000 and Fill
more lOl ooO The official WILL Of course, vary these
figures.
In regard the probable result IN Ohio Col Medary OF
the Statesman, pleasantly remarks:
"strsuee as it may SEEM have very few reliable
,ru, from Ohio Such have publish, but they
mt Of sufficient character to justify any calculation to
,hs probabe sotingsup of the whole State The most
can ,av is that We continually reducing the majority
against us on the l4th OF October.
We hoped that it might have been otherwise but until
the abolition estern is set off to Canada it would
seem impossible calculate results before elections That
portion State appears to be getting worse instead
better but this campaign particularly suited
10 the tastes that region, suppose must
them"
over Wlards vote Buchanans majority in the State viii
be very large.
We are as yet without complete returns from Pennsy
vana The Pennsylvania of yesterday morning says:
"The reported msjortes from the counties heard from
with liberal estimate the counties yet be heard from
would indicate plurality for Mr. Buchanan of 80 600
iority; over both, Of from 5000 to Il, oo0."
