The Presidential Election

The following article upon the prospects of the Presidential election we take from the New York Journal of Commerce, one of the ablest journals in the United States. The Journal of Commerce has heretofore been a neut,ol mn. per with leaning to the old whig party. It will be seen that the Journal gives the election to Buchanan, without counting Maryland, De- laware or Indiana, which is certain for him, while he has the best chance for New York. New Hampshire, Maine and Connecticut:
 The election for President and Vice Presi- dent of the United States, which takes place on Tuesday, the 4th of November next, is the 18th Tn the series, since the adoption of the fe- deral constitution. The choice is made by electoral colleges, each college representing n State, and comprising as many members as the number of senators and representatives which such State is entitled to send to Congress. The whole number of electors at the first Presiden- tial election, in l789 was 69, all of whom voted for George Washington. The present number IS 296, viz: 62 electors at large, corresponding with the number of senators in Congress, and z54 dlstrct electors, corresponding with the number of representatives The district cleo tors are not chosen by districts, as in the case of representatives to Congress, but each State votes by general ticket for district electors as well as for its electors at large The follow Ing schedule shows the number of Presiden- tlal electors to which each State is entitled:

 SON, ETC.
 Palermo, K. T, Aug. 22 1856 The mail carrier from Lecompton and Law renee has just come in, and reports that he saw Col. Titus at the latter place lying upon a bare floor, without the comfort of mattress or pillow, and suffering extreme torture from se- veral bullet wounds, which it appeared would terminate his life in few hours; that not wthstanding his extreme condition, which should excite commisseration and sympathy in the stoutest hearts, he was rudely and harshly treated by ruthless and drunken desperadoes, who would, with fend-like relish, strike him with their feet, and tear his clothes from him, and curse him, and spit tobacco juice upon him. That he was sckened by the horrifying sight, and left as soon as he found that any in- terpostion would aggravate, if possible, the in human barbarty
 He reports that Lecompton is not taken; that the abolitionists threatened it, but did Lot exe- cute their purpose. He further states that the State prisoners, Robinson, Brown, etc., are not released.
 We heard last night that General Smith had sent out three companies to protect the govern ment property at Lecompton, and to afford stronger guard to the prisoners; but that he re- iitooo Co lahc dHy uledSultS CO put uOWH tue ulS- turbances in the country, and says the militia may fight it out among themselves This is rather singular course to be pursued in such crisis and brings upon General Smith some ana themas from the staid and law-abding, peace loving citizens, who will thus be driven into bat tie, when the slightest effort of properly direct ed authority could still the furious elements, and give quiet to distracted and unhappy peo- ple eve don't believe this statement about Col. Smith)
 This course has called Gen. Richardson to the field, who ordered rendezvous at Doni- plan last night The Tigers, the Blues, the Wathena Guard, and several other companies, were promptly on the ground, armed to the teeth with ritles muskets, pistols and bowie knives, and having few pieces of artillery, well manned. They were to proceed to the interior last night or this morning early. They number about five hundred active, brave and hardy frontier men, who are fully equal to ff- teen hundred of those who have never been beyond the influence of cities and the limits of populous communities
 The thousand conflicting and uncertain ru- mors will now be resolved into clear and au- thentic reports, as daily dispatches will reach us from head quarters
 Although so many are thus equipped and on their way to repe bloody invasioll we have still greater numbers iu reserve who will march to the scene of conflict at the shortest notice will write you again as l get reliable news. l have to close this in haste, to send by the Nee0 Lncy now starting.

The true Democrat., 1856-09-09
The Prospect In New York.

Notwithstanding the boasting of the Fremont journals, there Is the strongest reason to believe that the united democracy will be able ts carry New York. A recapitulation of the vote in New York for the last eight years will show our readers upon what substantial basis this hone is founded.
 In 1848 the united democratic vote was lar ger by 16, 225 than the whig vote.
 In 1850 the average democratic majority was 3,976.
 In 1851 the average democratic majority was 2,538.
 In 1852 the democracy was united, and gave Pierce majority of 27,2O1.
 In 1855 the democrats being united on the judicial election, gave majority of 23 3,2O9; on the State ticket the aggregate democratic vote was majority of 25, 39O.
 In 1854, when the whigs and Know Noth- ings each had ticket and the democrats two tickets and the aggregate democratic vote was 33,54 larger than the whigs, and 68O83 lar ger than the Know Nothngs.
 In 1855 the democrats united on the appeal judge, (Seden,) and gave him majority of 17,279 over the republicans, and 9,1O3 over the Know Nothings.
 Here, says the Albany Argus, is succession of democratic votes indicating uniform result that even when disunited, warning against each other, the democratic sections largely outnumbered their opponents, and that any candidate they united upon was certainly elected.
 The majorities of the party have been, in the most adverse moments and to the last, some 10000 over the whg and republican party in both its phases and this upon a diminished vote, after a vexatious and disheartening civil war, protracted with occasional truces, through se- ven years.
 The last contest (l855) in the State, showed that the aggregate vote of all parties was 85,OOO less than that of 1852, leaving it evident that, allowing for the increase of the numbers of electors, more than 900 citizens had refused to take part in the election. The non-voters were not republicans, for that party displayed its utmost strength; nor Know Nothings, for that organization showed its most perfect dlscl- pline and vigor.
 Three fourths of those were democrats, who, discouraged by the character of the civil war into which the contest had degenerated with held all participation in it, and awaited the re- union of the party before resuming a connection with 1t.
