actual returns thas We have received, 70 our
mind indicate the strong probability that ~
state is really Republican. At this present
writing, we have no doubt but chat Is true,
though the election is close. But, as in
the opposition to the Repnb-
lican party have done their worst, and the
state may be counted upon with much GER
tsinty for Fremont.
The Buckeye State has gone Republican
all over. The popular majority will not be
less than 10000. II there ever we're any
doubts about the vote OF this state in No
vember, they mus, be dissipated now.
coSoREssMKS.
In the aggregate elections OF pennsyiva-
MIA, Indiana and Ohio, we lose few MEM
bers, bnt no. many. This was anticipated,
considering that Fillmore candidates as well
as Buchaneer candidates were generally run
against us. II is only surprising that We
have held our own as well as We have under
such circumstances. Ia Ohio we have pref
,y certainly elected oil our candidates but
three, and probably all bu. two, those from
Hamilton county. Here, then, we probably
lose nothing, for though in the last deiega-
ton there were no BUCCANEERS, there were
Fillmore men, who were, rs decidedly NJ
BUCCANEERS, our enemies, and We esteem 1t
no practical loss that Fillmoreites should
be exchanged for Buccaneers. In Indiana,
30 far, four Fremont men and one Black
Democrat have been elected. In Pennsyl-
yania we do not lose more than four, and
perhaps less.
The general result, then, Of these cleo
tons. SO far as at present advised, 10 deci-
dedly encouraging to the Republican cause,
and materially strengthen our assurances OF
a glorious result on the 4th Of November.

Inrosrrros.-A friend writes us complain
ing Of an imposition in respect OF one Q
our city contemporaries, saying that be "a
persuaded to subscribe for the Weekly Pos
under assurance that 1t was So neutral pa
per- whereas il is ga vehicle for circula
ting Democratic speeches by one OF its edi
tors,o and he encloses a circular whicl

Marshall, d. b. Smith, I. W. Clagett, "
F. B. Lynch, J. NJ. Love, and n. Albert
con, urging him to assist in the circulation
Of the speech, as it is calculated to do grea
service to the Democracy.
We would inform our friend that the mat
ter OF which he complains is not the only
humbug from the same source. The speed
itself, purporting to have been made here
was never delivered. The paper itself leans
just as strongly towards the Black Demo

pendent guise, and its daily edition pub
fishes regular boast Of = larger circulation
than either of its competitors, when the fac'
is that the circulation Of either the daily or
weekly Post is Nrcn LESS than the CORES
pondng issues from either this ofhce or th'
Times But there is class OF journals thai
always attempt to make their way by play
ing upon the credulty of the public through
swelling and false assumptions and gen
eral system Of ''bloviating." If our frlen
has been ''taken i'm by the process, he ha
1 learned enough to protect him in the future
perhaps.

terror. We hear the smiling together o
their trembling knees, aud the chattering {
their shivering teeth in their terror-stricke

scented in theie Adrigh,ed vision as a fron.ie
town, and the bloody hosts Of Border Ruff
ans marshaled by the doughty Stringfello
and Bully Brooks, are pictured to the mind
eye in rapid and wra.hful march upon on
delightful! city. But the idea IL too frigh,
fai to dwell upon, and We do beseech on
contemporary to spare Us any further exh
bitions Of such narrowing and hcart-rendir
scenes OF direful border war till after II
Naz smber election. We dread their effe
not only upon the nerves of the old won,
OF both sexes, but upon the real estate Al
stock market Of our town. With this hi
re do trust that the Times will hold on 4
the present owners Of property here have
chance to cell out and lee to some "a
refuge from the dreadful calamities thu
are Ia store for this devoted border city.
