Fremont Next President.--The
Elections of the 18th.


Elections of the 18th.
On the 14th instant Pennsylvania.
Ohio and Indiana held their State cleo
tions.
Tremendous efforts had been made for
the occasion and so nearly balanced is
the vote that both parties have claimed
the majority in Pennsylvania, where stu
pendous frauds have been pcrpetrated by
the desperate sham democracy. who be-
gan to see the hand writing on the wall.
OF Ohio and Indiana. it is sufficient to
say that the former has gone Republican
by majority of some 10000, and the
latter for the bogus democrats by a small
majt rity. There has been some changes
in the Congressional Representatives of
all three of the States, in favor of Sham
Democracy.
The best informed Republicans in the
country, and States where the elections
have been held, believe, now that the To-
cal and personal issues are out of the
way, that on the 4th of November when
the great question alone comes up before
the American people, in all its gigantic
proportions and its serious and momen-
tous consequences upon the destinies of
this great Republic, that the verdict of
the people, in despite of frauds, bribery,
and the most shameless lying ever known
or ever practiccd in this country, will be
in favor OF humln freedom, civil liberty.
anu the Republican party as the expo
nant of those principles.
In regard to Pennsylvania this opinion
is strengthened by the following facts and
considerations. Many Of Backs import
ed voters at the late elections will be
ncedckat home. Others will prefer
Eemon'. Peace and Erection. to BIZ
ehannn, War and Har,ry. There are
large Quaker and German elements in
that State, honestly in favor of Fremont
and the peaceful, conservative views Of
his Republican supporters. Owing to
various causes, especially the nominal
support of the Southern Fillmore Amer
leans, these people did not vote, or vot-
ing, voted against us. These people are
numerous, and are said to be Jealous
Fremonters.
Another reason why the Republicans
confidently look for the election of Col
Fremont, is that they believe he was
raised up, by that Good Being who con-
trolls the destinies Of nations as we'll as
individuals, and admirably fitted as
the man, who of all others at this time,
can and will bring order, peace, good
and fraternal feeling between the differ
ent sections of our country, and drive
back into obscurity, the demagogues,
and conspirators against their country's
peace, that now disgrace it.
Republican Fremonters cheer up, be
active, and keep Maine in her present
high and glorious position and the
Sister States that held their elections
the l4th, with others, enough to elect
Fremont. will Join the glorious throng of
those that love freedom better than slav-
cry.
/ WRESTLING TO KEEP UP THEIR coUR-
AGE.-As timid and frightened people
whistle to keep up their courage, so the
BUCCANEERS are burning powder, and hur-
rahing to keep their courage up to the
sticking point until after the election
Their prospects are gloomy enough
Their chance to carry Pennsylvania is
desperate one. They have not an
even chance to carry Indiana. They will
be beaten in Maryland and Florida by
the Fillmore men. New Jersey, anoth-
er doubtful State Is fast coming around
to the right side.
Remember We commenced the cam
paign by conceding that, lows, Indi-
ana, Illinois, Pennsylvania, New Jer-
sey, California and Maine were doubt
full States. Thus far, we have glorious
ly triumphed in Maine and Iowa, and
demonstrated the certainty Of carrying
Pennsylvania with ordinary labor, and
activity, and that we can carry Indiana.
