The defeat of The Black Republican candidate for
the Presidency ELECTS the following subdued shrek
from the New York Herald:
at NAV be several days yet before we can cor
rectly cassifyIthe votes of the thirty States respec
lively on this side of the Rocky mountains; but we
have received returns sufficient justify the conelu-
sion that Mr. Buchanan is triumphantly elected,
through the Invaluable services of Mr. Fillmore AMI
his outside guerilla party He has ecllpsed Van bu-
rem in his last desperate effort a politician, and
may now like the Sage of Lndenward, retire to the
obscurity of public contempt As for Fremont be
yet entitled to fair trial. and his friends should
Immediately proceed to organize IN his behalf LOT
| 1860 in every State in the Union"
This is certainly COOL in the face of the fact that,
had it not been for the fusion of the Fillmore men
and the Fremont men in The rural districts OF New
| York the Democrats wou'd have carried that State
| by a large plurality.
The Tribune comedies the election of Buchanan
and Breckenridge with savage grin. and then IN
dulges in succession of terrific shreks, as follows
"Prac tically, a majority of the American people

striving to keep theirs free Territory, and make II
a free State. Practically, the verdict OF yesterday

lion for her devoted inhabitants to struggle longer to
avert that DESTINY Practically the brutal rufians
who Yesterday most'of the pos'throughuot theree
States ieered at bleeding Kansasthus making sport
of robbery, arson, rape and murder have been en-

citizens Practically, the American people have re-
versed the policy of slavery restriction naugurated
by our revolutionary PATRIOTS and decided that ber-

True to his belligerent instincts and warlike pro-
penstes, General James Watson Webb has no idea
of surrendering, although bound hand and foot by
the groans and strikes of his fellow negro Worship
pers for he reoices in the belief that both Buchanan
and Fremont have been defeated by the people,
Hear the friend and fageator of Bennett:
Telegraphic dispatches OF the election yesterday
have not been received the extent anticipated but
they settle the fact that Fremont has lost Pennsyl
vana and New Jersey and therefore is not elected by
the people, and also that Buchanan has lost Mary
lend, which makes it possible that he therefore Is
not elected by the people"
The New York Times frankly acknowledges the
defeat of Mr.. Fremont-the acknowledgment being
accompanied by the slightest percepiblr whimper-
and takes comfort in the belief that these presiden
tal elections are certainly heavy draughts upon the
minds and nerves OF the great multitude OF 0urpeo
