The greatness OF the battle field of Pennsyl-
vania, aad the splendOr of the Democratic tri-
umph can hardly be exaggerated. We have
nothing to qualify in our comments, and moth
ing to alter except only in the amount of the
majority. This is hardly yet asccrtaincd. We
have majority in the House of Representa-
tives, thirteen members OF Congress, and ma
jOrity Oil the popular vote. Great, and even
fearful as was the excitement, the election
passed off in a peaceful and qact manner All
the parties looked to the ballot box as the great
arbiter. In commenting on this fact the Penn
sylvanian says: awe doubt much if the same
number of votes, amid so much intense feeling,
have ever been polled any where with so few
exhibitions of angry contentious or disorderly
conduct"
KANsAs.-Gen. Whitfield lad been elected as

election law as invalid and of no effect, aud they
consequently refused to vote.

-ections held thus far in the several States for
