This leaves Florida with 8, Louisiana
with 6, and California with votes to be
disposed of. The recent State election ii
| Florida was so close between the Ameri-
cans and Democrats, the Democrats carry
ing it by only 400 majority, that il is pos
sible Fillmore now has the State. The
probabilities, however, favor the Demo
Gratis.
Louisiana gave 1865 majority for Dem
ocraric Governor in 1855. In New Or
leans parish and Jefferson parish, Fillmore
has gained 1920 over the vote of last years
election. But the dispatch says the coun-
try parishes show large Democratic gains
This, if correct, probably gives the State to
Buchanan.
California is doubtful State, but is con-
fidently claimed for Buchanan by his
friends.
The Fillmore majority in Baltimore is
SO heavy that it may defeat Buchanan in
Maryland. The partial returns from Ken
lucky also indicate that Fillmore has a
majority in the State. We do not consid-
er it, however, by any means certain in Ell
ther State. We shall be happily disap-
pointed if the 100 votes of the Slave States
are not thrown as unit for Buchanan and
Breckenridge.
We have no figures from New Jersey,
but the report favors Buchanan.
A despatch last night from Harrisburgh
states that the Unionists gave up Pennsy[
vania to Buchanan by some $1,000 major
ity. We fear it is too true, as the vote for
the straight Fillmore ticket is heavy in
Philadelphia and in other portions of the
State.
Private dispatches from Chicago state
that Illinois has gone for Fremont by 5000
majority, and that Wisconsin has gone the
same way.
We have but very few returns from In
diana. They do not indicate a sufficient
ratio of gain to overcome the Democratic
majority at the State election.
The comparatively few returns from Ohio
indicate about the same Republican major
ity as in October
From the returns and information we
have Wednesday morning, we think Bu-
chanan is elected by the people. Total
electoral vote 296. Necessary to choice,
I49. Buchanan has 1873 without doubt,
and more than an equal chance for the IL
necessary to elect, in Maryland, Louisiana,
Florida, Kentucky and California. 1t is
possible the election may go to the House
of Representatives, but hardly probable.

rEThe leaders of the so-called Democrat

rEThe leaders of the so-called Democratic
party in this county are not willing that men
should vote according to their honest convic-
tions of wright and wrong. But they would
compel them to vote as they dictate. The better
to enable them to do so, they have their tickets
printed on coIorod paper, unlike that of the op-
position tickets, and then they have their bull
lies stationed around the polls, and if 3 man
comes up whom they suspect of being tired of
their company, they demand 10 see his ticket,
and if their suspicious are correct they assail
him ia true blackguard style. In this way they
prevent many men from voting as they desire,
because they do not wish to stand the abuse
that would be heaped upon them if they did.
Is this right? Is this Democratic? Save US
from any connection with party that has to
resort to means so dishonorable to carry Its ends

"DIAMoND CUT DIAMoND."-At late
Republican meeting in Columbiana Coun-
ty, Ohio, a flag, got up with great expense
costing some forty dollars-was offered to
the township that would turn out the most
'voters" at the approaching convention.
The Democats, therefore, of one of the
townships in that county, concluded that
they would like to take the prize from the
enemy, and the banner being for "the larg-
est number of voters" they got together,
marched up in body, took the banner from
the awarding committee and marched home
in triumph and victory. 1t seems from the
sequel the joke was subsequently turned on
them. 1t was some time after dark when
the banner was received, and the party took
it to their head quarters, fastened it 10 the
halyards of their liberty pole and ran it up.
The next morning it was discovered that on
one of the stripes was painted "Fremont aud
Dayton" 1t was only seen by early risers.

TooTH WAsH.-The safest. cbeapes

TooTH WAsH.-The safest, cheapest,
most universally accessible, and most eff
cient, is peice of White Soap, with a
moderately stiff tooth brush, every morning.
In addition, Immediately after each meal,
use simply tepid water, with brush not so
stiff; use it slowly, with perpendicular
twist, so as to remove particles of food more
thoroughly flom between the teeth. AT the
same time, twist the brush horizontally
across the back part of the tongue. In this
way, the smell of the food on the breath
of recent meal is at once removed. Ii
is bad plan to defer teeth cleaning from
supper until bed time, as it only gives the ac-
creiions several hours to work their mis-
chief.-Journal Of Health.

TOWNSVILLE, Oct, 81, 1856.


Mr. EDIroR:-The disgraceful and ungentle.
manly conduct of certain persons, who consid.
er themselves young gentlemen, (although, in
the true sense of the word, they are not,) at the
Disciple Church in this village, much to the
annoyance ola worthy reverend, and to that part
of the congregation who attend divine worship
for instruction, has prompted NE to express my
and undoubtedly the opinions of many Other
persons. publicly, concerning these perform
ances; hoping it may meet the eye of some one
OF the participants, not knowing whether it is
for better or worse. Throughout the past sum-
mer and autumn they have carried on their op-
erations mostly in the evening. About dusk,
these pseudo gentlemen eongregate in close
proximity to the church, and there commence
series of scufiing. laughing and telling capi-
tai yarns, making a general hub-bub, much like
the business streets of IA large city. When SER
vices commence, they commence dropping in,
one by one, keeping a continual racket by walk
ing over the floor for, at least, the space OF if
teen minutes, all of which could easily be avoid
ed But this is not the end of "this strange,
eventful history" After getting comfortably
seated, talking and laughing is continued, worse
than ever, which is also accompanied by other
disgraceful performances. such as eating apples,
throwing the cores at persons who are attentive
ly listening 70 the discourse, in order to annoy
them, making wry faces, and some very mystic
rious signs, very common TO long-eared animals
especially Jackasses. The latest added per-
formance is that OF few of these gentlemen
seating themselves on loose seat, and by rais-
ing up and sitting down heavily again, cause it
to make grating noise, preventing many per-
sons from hearing an eloquent discourse. By
these performances, which you can rely upon
are strictly and accurately described. they show
their disrespect for good morals, for the holy
Sabbath. and for the Christian church. They
are ten-fold worse than the most benighted and
ignorant heather, who has never seen the Light
of the Gospel. Yours, DC.

unpopularity of Major SArp, and our opponents

The ElectiOn..Its Results.

At this writing it is not certain how the
election has gone, except-we are sorry to
say-that Mr.. Fremont has failed of an
election. We believe, too, that Mr.. Bu-
chanan has been elected by the people,
thus showing that Mr.. Fillmore had iust
strength enough to pull down, tempofari-
ly, the citadel Of Freedom and bury him.
self under it. That edifce, however, has
not been disturbed in its deep foundations
and will rise again, while such men as Fill.
more will sink into an obscurity, his own
acts has earned for him.
Now that Mr.. Fillmore has aided in de.
feating Scott and clecting Pierce, in de.
feating Fremont and clecting Buchanan,
his reflections, if his conscience is not scar.
ed, must be ANYTHING but comforting and
satisfactory. He should be left to those
reflections, as the bitterest punishment he
can suffer; let him lie therefore in The bed
he himself prepared, while We look ahead.
The Republican party is the party of Free
dom; under its banner the deadly warfare
against the encroachments of Slavery is to
be fought. We hoped the present strug-
gle would have decided the contest, but il
would seem that yet more of the unrelent-
ing despotism of the Slavery power must
be suffered before the fears of the timid
can be overcome SO as to make them dare
to do right. The cry of disunion has been
potent, and frightened enough Freemen at
the North to make them throw their votes
either directly or indirectly against Ere
mont.
