election, the citizens Of RaIon. having no tel
egraph office, had TO await with suspense The
arrival OF the evening trains for election news.
The train from Cincinnati came al 8 o'clock,
P. NJ. bringing but one passenger from the
city, and he being an ardent Fremonter re-
ported that three Southern States had gone for
Fillmore, and that the entire North, with the
exception Of Indiana, had gone for Fremont BY
large mujcrities. This news # course had lis
effect Republicans acknowledgements des-
p%onding. Prominent among those who were
iubilant, was Judge H., late on unsuccessful
applicant 10 President Pierce for the of OF
Governor Of Kansas, and then the champion
OF the Kansas Nebraska ucs-but who, from
some cause or another, (some persons ungen.
erously attribute it 10 his rejection by the Pre-.
siden) hos wheeled over, and is now under,
stood 10 be aspiring 10 the Goycrnorship OF
Ohio. As We were saying, The Judges portly
form, inflated by the good news TO lis utmost
tension, and so erect, that the skirts OF his
coat swung entirely clear OF his person, was
seen NOV ing around and passing congraiula-
lions on every corner, with his present politi-
cal associates, and looking upon his old Dem
ocratic friends with o countenance expressive
Of superiority and exultation, dhe more re-
makable from the fact, since turning his coat,
it has been observed that when in The pres
ence OF democrats, he has locked sheepiSh and
been shy, as though he was ashamed OF him
self,) seemed TO say, ''Poor Devils pity you /
BIT why didn't you desert your principles, and
strike for the popular breeze, as | have
done Z"
About six O'Clock, P. NJ, Of which time the
train arrives from indianapolis, Gen. g. D. H.
who is also looking toward the Governors Of
fee, as is said, came into town in search Of
new The Generalwas discovered be fore he
got near the crowd, and breaking away from
his ccmpeers, The Judge fastened 10 meet the
General, whose countenance was p%ercep,ibiy
frightened by sympathetic reflection from ihOi
Of his advancing friend. As they mel, The
Judge grasping The extended hand Of the Gen.
eral, greeted him as follows I:
'rMy God General. IFS oil right. You were
nst mistaken, when you tolI me which way
the popular breeze was going to bio w-''ihank
God I'm a Republican r. The whole North,
with The exception Of Indiana, has gone for
Fremont My God! / feel TOO good p
"Now General, we have o right 10 fguTea
little. You can gel into some good Landa0f-
fee. which will just suit you-you can spee.
ulate in government lands, and make 0 for
June in four years. And then we must get
Chase (another candidate for Gerernor] a po-
sition in The new Cabinet, He neservesto be
Secretary Of Stale. Lew campDeil, (%another
eye sore 10 the Judgcl will hold his seat or be
busy fighting for il, aad we must encourage
him 10 fight IL like h-lior would ii not be q
better plan 10 scare Val. out of the contest,
by telling him what o desperate fellow Camp
bell is-how he is practising every day with
pistols and swords ahdguns, for the purpose
Of killing Val. IN case heis successful in The
contest. If we succeed in this, Campbell is
out ofthe way certain, and then when we gel
all these things fixed up, W must subsidise
! and emasculale Fremont, and have things as
we want them. Then General, the Judge OF
the SAM. time putting bis thumbs into the arm
holes ofhis vest, and leaning back farther than
ever. hoD you'd I DO for Governor ?"
The Generals eyes twinkled and seemed TO
smile opprovinty upon the Judges sugges-
tions, but being somewhat non-commiiial On
such subjects, he had not answered the Judges
last interrogotory, when some democratic boys
who had been up at the Depot aud received
the news by the Indianapolis train, were seen
and heard coming down street making consid-
cradle noise.

The suspense was not long-but II was not
until the Judge had for the third time distinct
ly heard the shout, "Huzza for Buck W-
"PennsylvOnia 10000! Ii diana 10000 for
Buck !" &C., and seen hats aud cans flying
in every direction, that he seemed 10 awake
from his happy delusion, and as he awoke his
form seemed 10 collapse and with a sorowful
sigh, bis thumbs involuntarily relaxed the hold
which they still had in The armholes Of his
vest, and turned away with this remark
.'My God General expect we had better
postpone this matter till another time p
