Mr.. buchanan Mt Home.

Under date OF November LIST, correspondent of a
New York paper, writing from Lancaster, Pennsyl-
vania draws the following attractive picture of Mr..
Buchanan al home:

the su, ject of the election Mr. Buchanan listened

a Cheering Fact.

AS the fuller returns come in, afording an oppor-
tunity for analysis. it becomes apparent not only
that Mr. Buchanan has received over half a milllo
votes more than Fremont but that the latter has not
received even a majority of the votes cast at the
North, the section in which alone he ran as candi'
date He is in a minority of something like 100000
votes in Pennsylvania, 10000 to $4,000 i'll New
York-has not majority even in Ohio, while there
are large maorilies against him in Indiana and Hi
nos.
His majoritics in the New England States will no
overcome these mnorities He is minority candi

we can rejoice over the overthrow OF sectlonalsm

internal improvements, to business; and be able at
