WONDERFUL EFFECT OF THE SPEECHES OF THE
"BLuE BLACK REPUBLICANS" JOHN MINOR Boris AND
the Fillmore majority was only 2s4-being Demo-
cratic gain of sac hundred and ninetytour!
Mr.. Wise received, last year, only ,166. The
Democratic vote yesterday was ,475-an increase
of the Democratic vote of three hundred and nine
We understand, also, that several of the Fillmore
voters could not stomach Bolts, and struck off the
name of Elector Bolts Had Mr.. Bolts made anoth-
er speech written another letter, the Democracy
would have carried this Gibraltar" As il is, it is
perfect Pyrrhus victory for the Nothings al
ways so jubilant before an election. Where is the
thousand majority claimed by the Wing? Where
the 200 majority claimed by the Fillmore orators
the night before the election? Rich. Eng.

KENNETH RArNER AND JOHN NJ. BorTs.-It was
well and truly said by distinguished orator, some
weeks ago, that il there were no enemies Of the
Constitution in the South, there would be few enc
mics of the Constitution in the North or else that
the latter would be hopelessly and utterly without
power. So long the South is not united South
so long as there in the South who assist to
push forward the schemes of sectionasm in the
North, so long will there be abotonists and disun-
ionists in the free States. The course of Kenneth
Rayner and John NJ. Bolts proves the justice of these
assertions. Both of these gentlemen are now en-
dcavoring to seduco Northern men to vote for John
c. Fremont in preference to James Buchanan; but
we beg our readers to remember that the one is as
weak and contemplate, far as political influence
goes in North Carolina as is the other in Virginia.

Presidential Election-The Result.

Al tie time of writing this--Friday II M.-our
intelligence is by no means full, yet We have enough
to Justify us in the opinion that Mr.. Buchanan has
been triumphantly elected by the people. The tel
ecraphic line was down at various points on Wednes-
day so that no news received either here or at
Petersburg or Richmond the day after the election.
We give below despatch dated the 9Th, and one
the 6th-and we expect another before going to
press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.
Editors Standard All the New England States
and New York have gone for Fremont. New Jer-
sey, Pennsylvania and Delaware have gone for Bu-
chanan. The news from Indiana Kentucky, and
twelve members OF Congress in New York, and the
member of Congress in Delaware.
Buchanan certainly elected.
PETERSBURG, Nov. 6.
Editors Standard: The indications are that all
.he New England States and New York have gone
for Fremont. Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Louisiana,
Kentucky, Illinois, and Indiana for Buchanan. The
returns from Ohio and Wisconsin are favorable
Maryland has gone for Fillmore. Virginia largely

Buchanan undoubtedly elected.
Mr.. Buchanan has certainly carried the following
States: New Jersey, votes, Pennsylvania 27, In

Carolina 10, South-Carolina g. Georgia 10, Florida
8, Alabama 9, Mississippi 2, Texas 4, Missouri 9,

probability, carried California, votes, Louisiana 6,
Tennessee IL, and Kentucky 12-rnaking in all ia
votes, being majority of 52 and % more than
essary to elect him. 1t is possible also that he has
carried Ohio and Wisconsin,, which would increase
his vote to 202.

Gov. WnLARD.-When the Know Nothing row.
dies tried to shot down Governor Willard at Lexing
ton, Kentucky, on Wednesday last, the Governor
said he could excuse them all; they were only mad
with him because he beat an Abotonists. This re-
proof taken in connection with the recon mendation
of Prentice to the Fillmore men of Indiana to vote
for Morton, must have been very cutting one to all
honorable members of the American party. The
idea of insulting, in Kentucky, the man who in In
diana beat the fanatic who uttered that famous in
cendary decation, "that he would rather see the
Ohio River flow with blood than that one fugitive
slave should be returned!" what can be the matter

can be-" Cincinnati .Enquier.
