we nave delayed the issue OF our paper
this week, somewhat beyond the usual
hour of going to press, in expectation of
the arrival of the states mail, in order that
we might be enabled 10 furnish our readers
with the result Of the state elections in
Pennsylvania, Indiana and Ohio Owing
to the lateness of the hour at which tho
steamer entered the Columbia river, no
states mail will be received here this week;
but We aFe nevertheless indebted-exclu-
sively so, Nto Mr.. CHAs. WILLIAMS, agent
for WELLS, FARGO & Co.'s express, for San
Francisco papers up to the 18th November,
and for New York and Boston dates as
late as the 20la Of October, containing the
gratHying-the cheering intelligence, that
in the Keystone aud Hoosier states, "!Sdm"
and " SdmbO" have hung their hHrps on
a willow tree" and giving assurance, II the
result of those elections indicate anything,
that BUCHANAN and BREcKNRIDE have
been elected president and viee-president
Of the United States. The New York
Tribune is in perfect spnsms at the result,
and the HerOM Of that city devotes much
of its despairing energies in cyphering out
the cause The tone Of both papers fore
shadow that they regard the chances Of
success( for Fremont as hopeless. We
quote from them as follows -
Speaking Of the result Of the election in
Pennsylvania. the Tribune says, in itstal-
lying cry -
Republicans the last reports from
Pennsylvania leave no doubt Of buchanan
majority at the state election. The state
ticket of that party is chosen by some eve
thousand majority
" Republicans we would not five could
conceal from you our disappointment 10
this result, nor the magnitude Of the disas-.
ter. We ought 10 have carried Pennsyl-
vania at this election" ...,.l
The N. Y Herald, the black republican
alder and abetier Of GREELY, SeWARD,
FRED. DoreLAss and disraion, discorrses Us
follows:
"The political revolution which was gen
Grated in 1858, and continued to increase
and swell with astounding strides for nearly
three years, has met with counter revolu-
tlon, which is first evidenced in the recent
elections in the states Of Pennsylvania and
Indiana, and which throws the whole con-
test into q more entangled condition than
we remember to have witnessed at ANY
presidential contest for thirty years. ~
1.-The last returns from Pennsylvania
seem to indicate that the democrats have
carried the state BY not less than four thou
sand majority while the telegraphic ac-
counts from Indiana give the governor,
lieutenant governor and legislature all to-
the democracy" ra r.s.sfsg
The Herald comedies that in tho states
in which elections had been held for men,
bers Of congress, &C., the demOcatie party
have gained fofyiioO members and that
from oil appearances the uex, congress will
be composed Of l2I democrats and lls
opposition, thus securing 10 the democracy
a working majority over oil other parties.
The Boston Journal another organ Of
the negro sympdthisers, says
"This state (Pennsylvania) was regar-
ded by all as the great battle ground Of
the campaign, and It was generally eonce--
ded that which ever party carried i would
gain important vantage ground for the
great battle Of the 4th Of November. The
returns, as they came, were brst favorable
TO one side, then to the other, aud 50 they
alternatcd from day TO day, until Friday,
when il was reported that the Official vote
In oil but few counties gave democratic
majority Of some 6O00."
Viewing matters in the worst possible
light for the democracy. even with the loss
of Pennsylvania 10 Buchanan, with the
votes of Indiana, Illinois; and either Iowa,
Wisconsin, Michigan, New Jersey. or any
one additional state in connection with the
FIRST two mentioned, with the south unit.
aud the democratic nominees ore elected.
We will defer detail Of figures until
we shall have received the official vote Of
