ELECTION NOTES.

The spirit shown by the Republicans every
where is as little like that Of a defeated party
Hs possible. Our exchanges from all parts
announce the reorganization of Republican
Clubs for future contests, attended with an
enthusiasm worthy o, the good cause which
still remains to be fought for
New YoRK.-The total vote of New York
State will reach 575, 900, an increase Of so, 900
over the presidential vote of 1852. Fremonts
majority over Buchanan thus far is nearly
56 900 and over Fillmore over 100000.
The discontinue of the Fillmore and
Brooks party in New York is pitiabe. They
went to the polls declaring that they had re-
gistcred about 200 900 votes, and with the
help Of the straight wings were sure of the
State How they came away from the polls
is thus set forth by the Albany Evening
journal
" Was ever a Party completely uFol up at a
single blow ms the Know Nothings : Last year
they swept and ruled the State. This year they do
not carry a county. Their vote has fallen off in
every town, 1t will not reach hundred thousand
in the State. They will not have single Congress
man. They have no Assemblymen, or next to none.
So far aS heard from, there is scarcely County in
the state in which they have elected even Session
Justice n Coroner
Tho leaders met with the scverest rebukcs.
Brooks is defeated, in spite Of a Democratic coali-
tion to elect him. Fillmore's own County, Town
and State, all oppose his election to the Presidency
Walk and Whitney were refused nomination by
their Party, and Haven, who ran, comes out
third and last in the race. Hunt has drawn down
upon hms elf verdict Of overwhelming disappro-
baton, and Granger, the Canandaigua "DorIt,"
PAGES deserted " Marshalsca." Sic ransic gloria
A
The Fillmore vote may reach 1875 900. The
Tribune says
" Brooks will hardly run ahead Of Fillmore, and
is beaten about 100000 by John A. King. Judge
Parker beats him 1900. So much for smelling
around to where candidate for President may
or may not have said his prayers ten or fifteen
years ago"
The satisfaction of the decent portion of
Brooks, is proportionate to the disgrace
which he, its most unworthy member, has
brought upon the fraternity. 1t finds ex-
preston in paragraphs like the following from
the Springfield Republican.
"Therc is one thing that the friends of Fremont
will rejoice with exceeding great joy, viz
| that his foulcst sanderer and most unprincipcd
vilifcr in this campaign, the Hon Erastus Brooks,
the express editor of express lies, has been whipped
| out in his own state by both the Fremont and Bu-
chanan candidates, and is left the field, covered
! with his own dirt, and sympathzed with by none
but his dirty minority. There let him lie, and
rot in tie political intamy which he has 50 indus
! triOusly cUurted.'
The Eastern Counties of New York, through
which Dog Noble went barking shortly before
election, and which were claimed by the
NJ D.,
stagger the faith of sanguine Republicans,
have done well. Clinton gives Fremont about
600 clear majority, Essex about 1000 and
Washington over 1000 majority st. Law
renee County did nobly. Twenty one towns
give Fremont majority of six thousand in
about eleven thousand votes, and the remain
lug towns will increase it.
Millard Fillmore was born in the town o
Genoa. Cayuga County. The Presidential
vote of that town gives Fremont, 400 Buch
anan, 60; Fillmore %. The County of Cay
ugl, the birthplace OF Millard Fillmore and
the residence of VIM. H. Seward, gives Fre-
mont plurality of 5225 over Buchanan, and
of 5ll5 over Fillmore, and a majority OF
$500 over both. Erie County the home Of
Milard Fillmore, gives Fremont ,2Gl ma j.
oritv. The City of Buffalo, the residence OF
Fillmore. Hall and Haven. gives Fremont
20j majority. The Town of Aurora, Erie
County. where Fillmore commenced the Prac.
tice of the Law, gave Fremont majority Is
over both Fillmore and Buchanan.
Twenty Fremont men are elected to Con,
gress from New York and thirteen Buchanan
men. The party that carried the State last yeal
have not elected one, even where they ran the
same candidate with the Buchancers.
