nh. Presidential election.

We have but little 10 furnish this morning in the
way of election returns beyond the gratifying fact
that every despatch received within the last three or
four DAYS. in the place of diminishing, adds to the
democratic strength in quarters previously consider
ed doubtful. MIR. Buchanan has now ITO electoral
votes, with California TO hear from.
1t will be seen, from the following despatch from
Judge Douglas that the democratic majority in ILL
nois will probably exceed ten thousand:
CHICAGO, Nov. 10.-Buchanan's majority in ILL.,
nois from ten to twelve thousand. Both houses OF
the legislature democratic. Majority of congressman
elected"
This majority, we would suppose, secures the
election of the democratic State ticket In Illinois,
elsewhere, the democracy have had to contend
not only against the open assaults of the black re-
publcans but the secret opposition of the know
notbngs, who, affecting to be governed by broad,
national principles, have, either directly or indirectly,
acted in The late canvass in favor of the sectional
party and it's candidates. The Chicago Times of the
9th instant says: SIN all the northern counties of
Illinois the know Rothings have generally voted to
swell the abolition majorities and in the southern
counties, where they claim TO be NATIONAL they have
voted separate ticket thereby creating diversion
from ranks of men who have not the slightest
sympathy vi Fremontism, republicanism.'
Since the above was in ttypea second despatch has
been received from Judge Douglas, as follows:
"llinois gives Buchanan decisive majority
Both houses of legislature democratic. Majority OF
members 10 next Congress democratic. The three
vacancies in present Congress filled by democrats
RICHARDSON gets more votes IMAM buchanan, OUT may
te defeated by fusion of part of the Fillmore
with abolitionsts.'
The indianapolis Sentinel Of Saturday morning
says of the result in Indiana:
/" The returns which we have received from our
State do not change the estimate we have made
of 10000 majority for Buchanan. In six congress
sonal districts shall have about %, 900 ajorty,
giving to the republicans 5000 in the other five,
which is more than they will probably receive
