first rate sugar laughter against an

wanted for his negroes, that the State of
Louisiana would give for Buchanan and
Breckenridge majority Of from $500

They had just passed registry law in
Louisiana; and that State, under tho

count of the interview between Mr.. Bu-

his nomination. Mr.. Brown says:
He (that is, Buchanan) was explicit
in his remarks on the slavery features,

sorbing element in the canvass. He rec
ognized to It's fullest extent the overshad-
owing importance of that issue and if

The Elections.

The State elections have passed on TO
the satisfaction Of the friends Of Fremont.
We have received only partial returns,
but enough to show that the Republicans
have triumphed almost everywhere'-
The State officers are elected by greatly
increased maiorities. Enough has been
learned from the different districts to
show that the Republican candidates for
Congress are all elected, and everything
promises a clean sweep for Fremont and
Daytoa in November. Our own county
has been the scene Of considerable ex-
element in consequence Of the multitude
Of tickets run-fve-and the efforts OF
all parties to show themselves the = 81
mon Pures." The result shows that Re
pubIicans, Americans, Democrats anC
radical Abolitionists, have got so much
mixed I'D that il will be difficult to finC
themselves so as 10 be marked for future
use. With the exception Of one judg'
the ticket nominated at the Union Mas
Convention at this place on the 18th o
August, appears to have succeeded. W.
hope that all parties will feel satisfied
with the result, and we think the friend
Of Fremont must be gratifed with tn,
very large vote cast for State officers AM
Representatives to Congress.
