Who is ashamed to be New Highlander?
Who is ashamed to belong to the party to
which New England lends her whole heart
and power?
New YORK AND MASSACHUSETTS,
Empire State gi'es Col Fremont a majority
of 2,7OS over Buchanan, and fully 100000
over Fillmore.
The vote in Massachusetts stands
Fremont, 1O6,828; Buchanan, 1922;
Fillmore, 1900. Fremonts majority over
Buck, $500, and seven towns to be heard
from. These two States give Col. Fremont
one hundred and toyfy-taoo thousand m,qjority!
Buck-Africans do you hear that?
Two "DEMocRArIc" COUNTIES Pulas-
XII and Alexander counties are in the extrem-
est Egyptian part of Egypt. Pulaski had in
1855, population of 2,462, and Alexander
2,027 Isons: These are reported to have
given, each, a Buchanan majority of 800.
For Pulaski, admitting that every ballot was
cast for Buchanan, this would give voter
to erery three persons! and for Alexander
voter for every 50 persons. But, in the
latter county, Fillmore received respecta-
BILE support, and Fremont got votes enough
to establish the fact that he was running.
The question is, Where does the Buchanan
majority come frcm-Kentucky or Missouri?
The FREE CITY.-Chicago, among all the
larger cities, is alone entitled to the honor of
giving majority for Fremont and Freedom.
Boston has done we'll, but Chicago has done
better. We do not know that any of our
readers share with us the feeling that this
fact eXcies but we confess that with all her
claims to regard, the independence Of her
merchants and other business men, who
could and did arise above the sordid views
of the contest, which made the result in
New York, Buffalo, Philadelphia and Cincn-
natl so disgraceful, has given Chicago ano-
ther and stronger title to the admiration of
the world. She is emphatically Free City.
She owes her present proud position as the
commercial centre of the great Northwest,
to the omnipotence of free labor her intel
ligcnce to the influence of free schools and
her future to the resources and capabilities
of free soil. 1t is meet and proper that she
should acknowledge her obligations to the
causes that have made her what she is, and
that she should vote to confer upon others
the blessings from which her greatness has
sprung Though the home of Douglas, Chi
cago is the Free City Of the Republic.
w ILL DOUGLAo 4GEBlGN t-4uc EuUSIlld-
torial election, which has undoubtedly re-
suited in the complete overthrow and dis
comfture of Richardson and the entire Pro-
Slavery state ticket, is 80 clear condemna-
ton of the traitorous policy of Senator
Douglas, that he ought, if yet believer in
the Democratic doctrine of instruction, to
resign his seat at once, and give back to
the people the power that he has abused.
With popular majority of $4,000 to 10000
against his Nebraska swindle, will he CONT
nue. to misrepresent Illinois ? That's the
question.
BURLINGAME ELEcTED.-The Know
Nothings and Buccaneers of Boston united
on Appleton in the confident anticipation Of
beating Burlingame. After the first reports
elected Appleton and dense throng rushed
to his house to apprise him of the fact, one
of the marshals communicated the gratifying
intelligence, 20 which Mr. Appleton re-
sponded as follows:
Fellow-citizens I thank you for the
honor you have done me IN announcing to
me the result of the election, and if it please
God to spare my life so that may take my
seat in Congress, l will endeavor to represent
the interests of the whole of my constitu-
ents. If you came for the purpose of hear
ing speech you will be disappointed"
So they were but not SO badly as Mr..
Appleton was when, an hour later, he learn
ed that Mr.. Burlingame was sent back to
Washington, and he himself elected to stay
at home. Burlingame's majority is SO. The
vote stood: Burlingame, $3.50; Appleton.
6,511.
MIcHIGAN.-The returns from Michigan
show the magnificent majority of 10000 for
Fremont and the Republican state ticket.
The Legislature will be overwhelmingly Re-
publican. Old Doughface Cass so long a
nuisance in the Senate will shortly be
turned out to grass. He has served the
Slave Power as long as the people of Michi-
gan could stand it. After this winter, we
shall have him no longer in the Senate, at
ing about popular sovereignty in the Terri
tories at the same time that he supports
measures which stifle the popular voice, and
deliver the people of the Territories, bound
hand and foot into the power of a brutal
