Presidential | Election, and its varied

We are probably beaten. but not con-

with all its atrocious barbarities and
crimes, is probably fastened upon the
country for another four years But

country. are ont in the cold and fiat on
their backs This of itself, is glory
enough for one campaign We ought
to have carried New Jersey, Pennsylva-
MIA and Indiana, in such struggle as
this. But it is not absolutely certain
that when the returns are all in, and the
frauds fully exposed. or even one half
of them. that PENNSYLVANIA and Indiana
or at least the former. have not voted
for Fremont. We should not be much
surprised if it yet so turns out-though
in all apparent probability Buchanan
will be the next President But we feel
a strong conviction that either in this or
the next heat, Fremont will be Presi-
dent. Maryland has gone for Fillmore
and the American force in Tennessee
Kentucky and Louisiana is so great, that
at the present moment it is uncertain in
Maine how those States have gone
If they have voted for Fillmore there is
no choice by the people and the Flee
ton devolyes upon the House of Repre-
sentatives.
If we arc really beaten, Il is from the
following causes .frSt-the hard tlinty
ground of antiquated New jersey ard
Pennsy lvania, and the demagosue elc-
ments of Indiana The two former have
in many respects long been behind the
American age. Second-Slayc holding

their enormous sums of money, great
talents, dcmagoguc tricks and astound-

those few free States, whose character
and localities, enable the allied forces to
bring all those perrerse influences to

hundreds and thousands. been prevented |
by violence and outrage, from deposit

What State so situated could success

been made upon these States
If Buchanan is elected, it is by such |
frauds and accursed means as these. A
success in such despotic coarse and by
