place on the Sd inst resulted in the election ofthe
/ American ticket by a majority of SO over the COM
bined forces of the opposition. correspondent
OF the Statesman says:
There were but two tickets in the fed-the
straight " American" and fusion OF bogus Democ-
racy, Black Republication, Aboitonism, and all
other odds ends and isms that could be combined
under the sweeping caption of the Peoples Tick
ct" Give US gun now and keep your powder
dry till November. Look out then for the largest
majority for Fillmore and Donelson ever given in
this town at a Presidential election.
The charter election in Kingston took place on
the same day. The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser
SAYS:
Notwithstanding a combination of all parties,
stripes and factions, and their midnight caucusing
and secret nominations, which not revealed

supposed to secure Pennsy Vania for him, but it is
every day becoming more apparent that the thou
sand good workers from Pennsylvania" who went to
/ Cincinnati to secure his nomination promised more
! than they will be able to perform in his native
State. 1t is well enough to premise that Buchanan

the people in the Union, the old I" Dutch farmers

and detestaton of " black cockide Federast."

! of the Philadelphia Ne,cs, writing from Lancaster,
| Mr.. Buchanan'5 home, says:
Strangers at distance might have supposed that

/ a perfect whirlwind of excitement in the boosted
Democratic city that claims him as her adopted sou,
and certainly did suppose that the announcement
of the event would have been attended with a rea-
sOnably decent demonstration of joy on the part OF
! his fellow citizens, whether Democrats or not But
the of his nomination did rot create oue-tenth
of the feeling and excitement that followed the first
intelligence Of the Sumner outrage.
, heard an old Democrat say yesterday that he
has never scratched a Democratic ticket for thirty
wears; but that he {" could not and would not vote
for that ID old Federaiist ;" that he might for
/ give every thing else except the wearing OF that
" black cockade," which he well remembers Mr.
Buchanan wearing through the streets Of Lancaster
