Tie election returns come very tardily, and the
details, so far as received are not satisfactory
they might be. Bad news travels faster than good
and the opposition have heard from their stronghods
Not hall the counties, of either Missouri or Arkan-
sas have been heard from. and we still are confident
that the Americans have elected their Governor in
each State. In Kentucky there was no test vote
In different districts different influences were at work
The Democrats have elected majority of the Judges
1t must be borne in mind in making calculations as
to the vote of Kentucky, and in fact of all the
Staes fer President, that the Old Line Wings, while
they go, almost to man, for Fillmore, vet reject
our platform. The vote of the States of Kentucky
and Missouri will each be changed by that cause at
least ten thousand-fve thousand gain to Fillmore
and an equal loss to the opposition.
Another figure in the case, is Fremont's vote 1t
is estimated that he will receive at least ten thousand
votes in Kentucky, and there is reason to expect
still larger vote for him in Missouri, inasmuch as the
Republicans succeeded, in the latter State in elect
ing congressman The Republican vote in these
States is thrown by the ioreign-born population,
which is all ordinarily democratic
Thus it will be seen we can afford to lose these
local elections, AMI still reckon on these States for
Fillmore-though there is yet no reason for giving
up the late elections.
After review of the Sonoras news, the Sacra-
mento american says:
"Take the news altogether, we think it is highly
gratifying to the Fillmore men of California, and
should be an incentive to them to push on the noble
work in which they are now engaged The contest
i'm iS M f,r Ei1l-
more will carry it by an immense majority as as
the day of election arrives, and his in Cali
fornia may be the means of making him President of
the United States In the degrading and treasona-
sonabe enacted in Congress on the 18TH 10Th
and goth of August, we the fruits of Democracy
and Repubicansm, and can one look upon it other
than as forerunner of what will be the case from
one end of the Union to the other if either Buchan-
an or Fremont be elected? ?"

The political intelligence must be considered with
due allowance, as it comes through Black Republican
and Democratic sources. The majorities set down
for the Democracy are stretched beyond credence.
Had they been more moderate, the effect would lave
been better. We have received private letters from
Illinois, Tennessee and Arkansas. by which we are
satisfied that the American party will carry those
States by heavy majority in November.
There seems to be no doubt about the election Of
Yell, Am, as Governor of Arkansas, and there is
but little doubt that Ewing Am. is elected Govern
or of Missouri, which is trem m4ndous change from
last year.
The Democratic and Repub icrn papers, such as
the n. Y. Herald Times, and Tribune and the Bos
ton Journal are filled with very apparent nisrepre
sentations.
Thousands have recently joined the Fillmore stand
ard in New York, and it is universally admitted that
the contest there. as well in Ohio and Pennsyva-
MIA, is between Fillmore and Fremont
| The story about Choate and other old line Wigs
supporting Buchanan is denied in the most emr'at c
manner in the Boston Courier, an old line Wing
Journal.
The Whig State Convention of New York in
dorsed Fillmore with immense enthusiasm.
The balance of the political intelligence is the
same as brought by the last steamer.
