The Electiens.
We have a mass Of returns from Penn
sylvania, Indiana and Ohio, which, howsv or,
may be very briefly summed up.
PENNSYLVANIA.
The result in this state is very close. The
last intelligence which we have from Demo-
cratic quarters, is from the Pennsylpanit,,,,
Forney's paper, the special organ Of Blu
chanan, which claims that the state has gone
Democratic by 900. AND with their own
figures, when they are compelled TO whittle
down their majority to 800, we might rely
With considerable confidence upon the assur-
ance that the state has gone against thum.
But from our own side Of the house we have
the following intelligence. A dispatch da-
ted New York the 10th, from the Tribune
Office, ssvs: SIT is very close The ohcial
"canvass only can determine the result. We
stink 1900 10 5000 Republican majority"
And the Central Republican COMMITTEES Of
Philadelphia telegraph ON the same date Us
follows:
s.penn.ylyania sends to Illinois greeting |.
The Union State Ticket is elected. few
counties are s,ill 10 be heard from but can
not alter the result. Majority three or four
thousand"
And adispatch received at Burlington on
Saturday forenoon, brought us by private
hand, is to the effect that the state .has gone
Republican by from 1000 to 5000.
The sum Of the whole matter is, that If il
has gone Democratic, iris by very sriaine
majority, while there is every reason to be-
lieve, and we have, Individually, no doub'
OF The fact, tina, the state has gone Repub-
lican by decided vote.
And now let as inform our friends, that rs
for the so-called s'union ticket being q
true criterion OF the united force Of ths
Fremont and Fillmore parties, in this elec
ton, il is not true. The ticket was origin
ally nominated by the Republicans. Tn
F.llmoreises, afraid TO show their strength
by sort Of arrangement, agreed, soms
time ago, to support il. But great Pof'
ton Of their leading men and most decidet
presses haye been averse to il from the be
ginning And, under the apprehension thai
the success of the Union ticket would b
claimed as u Republican triumph, ten days
before the election they perfected secret
bargain with the buccaneers TO support theil
ticket. And they carried out the bargain
All the North Americans voted the Nor
ticket. AL! the South Americans voted tin
Buchaneer ticket. All the Democrat,
Know Noihings voted the Baehaneer ticket
All the Silver trey and cotton influence va
for the Buchaneer tioset. The opposition
the Republican party have done their wors
Their utmost efforts have been employee.
AND rnKA HAYS ngFS pgfgATlD! Their la,
reasonable hope Of pennsyivania at the NJ
vember election is now ex.ingnished. Thei
never was nm election in Pennsylvania whe
Me Democratic PARTY did not cast small

suit and the prospects, therefore, IN Penn
