TIE ELECTIONS.

Telegraphio dispatches, dated New York, Nov.

ILLtNoIs.-Returns from II counties give
Fremont 1900 majority. There is nothing re-

Dispatches to the Washington Union say
that Fremont and Fillmore men fused on the
State ticket, which accounts for the success of
that ticket, but the Buchanan electoral ticket
is certainly elected.
LOUISIANA AND Observation-Disclosures
not very reliable, received at Philadelphia, say
the results in these States are doubtful.
INDIANA.--Buchanan's majority thus far
nearly $4,000. Returns to come viii proba.

Will not vary 1000 either way from that cleo
ton, when the Republican minority was lO,-

TENNEssEE.-Des dispatches received at Rich
mond report Tennessee as having gone for
Buchanan by 5000 majority. This statement
is based on full returns from eastern coun-
ties.

The Two PARTIES The Future.-There is
radical difference in the characters and opin-
ions of the Democratic and Republican par
ties, that have heretofore agitated the coun-
try, and one likely to, for many years to come.
The Conservative elements are now all con-
centrating about the Democratic standard, as
formerly they concentrated about the Wings
the more radical and lmpulsiye will he the op-
position.
If there be those who believe that the Re-
publican party will not live a twelvemonth
and that Col. Fremont is never to DO hoard of
more, let them please themselves with the
idea, if they will, but we see no reason for
entertain ng it. On the contrary, If Col. Ere.
mont had been man of straw, as some want
ed us TO believe, and if he had no aEtecedents
and character, he has shown such strength
with the people that he will not at once be
cast aside; and it cannot be denied. if all the
States West of Ohio go aga INST them, that thev
have made most gallant and successful run.
That party, arising III few months, and in
closely contested canvass like this, should
carry the two great States of Ohio and New
York. and the entire OF New England, roll

chiefs successful experiment, and its name
and principles viii be regarded as fixed very
probably its candidates will be, also.
We may be mistaken, but it does appear to
us that now the people will settle down, as
formerly, into two great parties--the parties
that have fought this battle that they will
go on to contest the Stale elections, the next
House of Representatives, and i'll 1860 the

Coed Results of the Elections.

IF there were nothing else to boast of in the
result of the recent Presidential election, the
condemnation administered to Cass and Douglas
in Michigan and Illinois, and the ousting from
their seats of such venerable old foges as Gener-
al Cass, and Dodge of Wisconsin, would De
enough. Gen Dodge once prcfessed to be a sort
of Free Soil Democrat, and used to vote steadily
with Sumner. Hale, Chase, and Seward IN MI
nority Of five in the Senate, on all anti slavery
ouestions: but as soon as his party merged It
self in border ruff 4nism, we find him backing it
nm with equal steadness by his votes on all oeca-
sions. voting side by side with Douglas Hun
ter. Mason, Butler, and others of that stamp
against his old associates and liberal men OF all
parties in the free states to sustain the efforts Of
the Slave propagandists to convert Kansas into
q slave State.
If there is one public man who deserves the
severe retribution he has received for recreancy
to his principles in his old age, il is this Henry
Dodge of Wisconsin, whose term, thank God, ex-
pires March 1857 The new Legislature being
thoroughly Republican, man worthy to stand
by the side of Charles Darkee, in the Senate of
the United States, will be chosen to succeed
him.
Douglas, excepted no man in the North is
more obnoxious to the Republicans for pro.slav-
cry doughfaceism, than Lewis Cass. oncc pro-
posing to be in favor of the Wilmot Proyiso, and
condemning John Davis for talking against time
and not letting him have an opportunity to vote
for it at the close of the Session of l847 Gen.
Cass came ont in less than one year thereafter, in
order to get the Presidential nomination, one Of
most flaming opponents of that doctrine, de-
nouncing it as unconstitutional, and going ey-
en- so far in his Nicholson letter, as TO advocate
the "deffision' of Slavery over larger space,
into the new territories from ''humane' consid-
eIations
Who will not now heartily rejoice that this
venerable doughface has now at last got his re-
ward, in his final retirement from public service
after the 4th of March next, by the general voice
of his own constituents, who have just returned
an entire Republican delegation of four to the
next House, from Michigan, and chosen Leg
islature largely Republican, which will substi'
tute for that distinguished doughface, Senator
of the right SORT one worthy to sit in the Natiou-
al Councils by the side of Sumner, Wilson Hale,
Seward &c.
