Pennsylvania and Indiana excited considerable
curiosity in the minds OF politicians, particularly
The Democratic party has carried the State OF
Pennsylvania by 1000 majority This however
does not give positive assurance that the State
has gone for Buchanan on the 4th inst. We think
however, there is little doubt about the result be-
ing in favor Of Buchanan
Indiana was counted as sure for Fremont,
but has gone the same way as Pennsy ylyania.-
There may have been great change between the
time Of The State and Presidential elections
The reports of the fusion movement Of Fillmore
and Frcmont's friends are very contradictory and
cannot be relied on. Should Fremont and FIJI
morc's forces fuse understandingly and have uni
ted on the 4th inst, it is quite doubtful whether
Mr.. buchanan could have carried the State.
Serious charges are made against the rium-
phant party for having crowded in and colonized
romc ten thousand Illegal votes. Suits were i'm
mediatcly commenced to contest the election af-
ter the result was declared
Ohio had gone Republican byN large majority
Several Democratic Congressman had however
been gained over the previous representation Of
that State in the House Of Representatives.
The State elections in the southern States had
resulted iayorably to the Democrats
Suits had been instituted against prominent
members Of the Vigilance Committee by Billy
Nulligan and Charley Duane Able counsel had
been engaged by these ruflans to conduct their
causes. The whole object Of these suits is to cN-
tract money from the defendants, who have Ger
tainly conferred great blessing upon the coun-
Try 10y causing their expulsion.
Tn,NksGyrNG DAY.-By proclamation Of Gov
johnson last Thursday was designated as a day
Of Thanksgiving. The people Of California were
invited and admoushcd in accordance with the
Christian uSugcs Of modern times and govern
mcnts to keep that day as one upon which the so
cial and cligous rights of a free and happy peo-
plcmight bcrccoenizcd, and the reciprocal thanks
of all who enjoy the blessing Of liberty and the
pursuit Of happiness might be offered.
In the moral elements Of nation or people is
TO be found their true greatness, from which
springs justice aud tempered reason in all hui
man law. We therefore cherish the custom Of
keeping Thanksgiving day as day Of moral
recreation and prayer He who has no honor for
superior being can have no respect for an equal,
aud but few there arc WHO cannot and do not APP
rrcciatc Thanksgiving day, and fewer stll there
are who cannot recall to mind some pleasing rem
inisenccs Of the past, when time and space, did
not prevent them from visiting thc hosptabe and
cherished home, ard receive while crcling round
the festive board a mothers wclcomc-n sisters
lovc-a brothers hiudnc $, and the JOY gratitude
ard blessing of ratcrnal sire whose hairs were
blcochcd perhaps as white as The suovs Of winter!
All outward scenes on Thursday last reminded
us OF these times gone By times which once had
with Ms living reality an actual existence
The white mantle flomon high spread its melting
folds upon the earth It was Il stormy but u mag
nfccnt scene and the miners laughed as they
gazcd upon it, The boys in The street gave vent
TO their mcrrmcnt as they pcltcd each other with
tEoN-lalls. All We Witnessed marked The day as
one Of gladncss, for all We met seemed happy
Hnd We thanked Providence that wc were happy
