it won't do to tell the fact is, Of them had
holes in their pnntainons right where they sit
down; and their coats were so short and old

wouldn't hide them.
And now Lyons has been round and seen all
ihis-knows what kind of CLOTHING will suit
these different sections. He has rot il tor all
grades-UPper Ten, Mushroom Aristocrats, PIE

to please.
And besides. IToNs wants to raise n hundred

THE ELECTION-TTS RESULTS.

AT this writing it is not certain how the
election has gone, except-we are sorry to
Mr.. Fremont has failed of an cleo
ton. We believe too that Mr.. Buchanan
has been elected by the people, thus show
ing that Mr.. Fillmore had just strength
enough to pull down temporarily, the cita-
del of Freedom and bury himself under it.
That edifce, however, has not been disturb
ed in its deep foundations and willrise again,
while such men as Fillmore will sink into
an obscurity, his own acts has earned for
him. Now that Mr.. Fillmore has aided in
defeating Scott and electing Pierce, in de-
feating Fremont and electing Buchanan, his
reflections, if his conscience is not scared,
must be anything but comforting and salts
factory. He should be left to those refec-
tions, as the bitterest punishment he can
suffer; let him lie therefore in the bed he
himself prepared, while we look ahead.
The Republican party is the party of
Freedom; under its banner the deadly war
fare against the encroachments of Slavery
is to be fought. We hoped the present
struggle would have decided the contest,
but it would seem that vet more of the un-
relenting despotism of the Slavery power
must be suffered before the fears of the tim
id can be overcome so as to make them dare
to do right The cry of disunion has been
potent, and frightened enough Freemen at
the North to make them throw their votes
either directly orindirectly against Fremont.
When we look back, however, over the
narrow bridge of two short years to the birth
day of Republicanism, we can only be sur
prised at the immense stature to which the
party of Freedom has attained, and the on
ly wonder is, not that we are defeated, but
that so young party could have dared to
hope for success. Look at the Free States
See the Slavery party of New York, of Ohio,
of Illinois, of Michigan, of New Hampshire,
of Maine, so lately jubilant, now torn into
fragments, aud flying before the blast of an
indignant people. So much for Pierce at
his home; so much for Cass at his home
so much for Douglas at his home. Thus
sink all such enemies of Freedom: all such
Doughfaces who are willing to sell the cause
of Free Labor as negro slaves are sold in
the shambles.
The contest was against great odds, and
the army of Freedom has done nobly in this
its first battle. Age, experience, discipline,
another turn of the slavery screw, a few more
Northern faces tempered by the fires Of
Slavery aggression, and the party of Free
dom will as surely win in its warfare against
slavery as that God is just CleVe, Herald.

Important from Iapan.

Our last accounts from the China Seas
mention highly interesting fact. The
Emperor of Japan, being anxious to adjust
various questions connected with the recent
treaties he has concluded with the several
governments of Europe and America, held
on the 22d of June at Jeddo, the capital of
his empire, asolemn aSsemblage of the prin-
ciple Lords and most influential persons of
his Court.
1t was decided at the two ports of the
empire, those of Nangasaki and Hakadadi
should be open to the vessels of all nations.
There they might repair, take in provisions,
establish depots of coal, DC. The other
ports of the empire, moreover, are to be
accessible to vessels in distress which may
take refuge in them, but which will have to
put to sea the moment the danger is over.
No foreigner is to be allowed to penetrate
into the interior of the country without a
special permission from the Chief of the
State. No decision had yet been come to
with regard to the commercial question:
The right of trading with Japan is still ex-
clusively maintained in favor of the Dutch
and Chinese, who have long possessed it on
very onerous terms, having but one market
open to them, that of Nangasaki.
The new policy adopted by the govern
ment ofJapan will be productive of incalcu-
liable results. Hitherto no foreign vessel
could enter the ports of the country to reft
or take in provisions. The last decision Of
the Court of Jeddo accordingly constitutes a
great progres. Should China, Cochin Chi
ma, the Empire of Siam, and all the neigh
boring States follow the example of Japan
the intercourse between the extreme East
and the rest of the world would be complete
ly changed. d.-Moniteur de Ia Flotte.

The Arkansas Traveller.

Yesterday, between II and l o'clock.
there halted at the corner of Fourth and
Main streets, a travelling party from Arkan-
sas, which, from its singular appearance, at
once drew crowd. It consisted of faith
er, mother, three children and hand cart
(They had a dog) The cart had a rude
square box on it, capable of holding about a
busheI and canvass cover bent over three
hoops. The father dragged the cart, hav-
ing strap over his shoulder for horse col
lar, and the oldest boy (about 8 years of
age,) similarly harnessed with a piece Of
old rope, made the leader, Ia tandem team
Behind the cart walked the mother, carry
ing the babe, while an older child rode.
A coffee-mill was screwd on to the side
of the box, and skillet, few milk-pans
and little bedding was inside.
The man was tall, guant bony Kentuck-
ian, and had on a cotton shirt of negro
cloth, and part of a butternut-colored Ken
lucky Jean trowsers. The woman had on a
butternut-colored gown and sun-boDnet.-
She sat down on the door step of Messrs.
Bradley's jewelry store to rest.
Persons passing -eommlseratlng to their
condition-handed them some fifty cents
and some dollar note, till the father got
frightened at it and determined to move on,
to avoid too much money being thrust upon
them. He wrapped a few of the notes
around the shafts of the cart, where he held
them to make it easier for his hands, and
gave the rest to his "old woman"
As they started, she insisted on putting
the baby into the cart. She said, 81 will

THE RESuLE

OfTuesday's election is not positively de-
termined by the returns of this morning.
Thus far every Northern State heard from
has gone overwhelmingly for Fremont ex-
cept Pennsylvania, which was lost by the at
tempt to patch up a fusion with the ele-
ments outside of the great cause of Freedom
in the territories,-and New jersey, which
is still in doubt. If the Republicans have
elected their candidate for Governor, as is
stated by our dispatches we see no reason
for giving up the State until we have more
definite news of the Presidential vote.
From Indiana eget nothing upon which
to base an opinion as to its vote. The tele-
graphic wires are down, and returns do not
come forward. We endeavored in vain to
get something from that State via Cincin-
natl.
Illinois has given handsome Republican
majority, for both State and Presidential
tickets, and the Congressional delegation is
at least three-fourths Republican.
The Republican majorities in Massachu-
sets and New York are almost fabulous.
Michigan, too, adds largely to her first re-
ported majorities.
Iowa and Wisconsin are also safe, beyond
question, for Freedom by handsome ma
jority.
The Southern States, heard from, go, ot
course, mostly for Buchanan, though there
are some appearances that three or four Of
them have switched off on the side-track Of
Fillmoreism. In Kentucky tho vote be-
tween Buchanan and Fillmore is close
The meagre returns received from Missouri
and Louisiana indicate the same thing ii
those States.
Maryland has probably gone for Fillmore
The Republican majority in Ohio will no
vary materially from that given at the State
Enthusiastically Register.
Fremont journal. [volume] (Fremont, Sandusky County [Ohio]) 1853-1866, 1856-11-07
FOR FILLMORE.
Total
No returns were received from the follow

This leaves Florida with 3, louisiana
with 6, and California with 4 votes, to be
disposed of. The recent State Election in
Florida was so close between the Ameri-
cans and Democrats, the Democrats carry
ing it by only about 400 majority, that it is
possible Fillmore now has the State. The
possibilities, however, favor the Democrats.
louisiana gave 1865 majority for Demo
cratic Governor in 1855. In New Orleans
parish and jefferson parish, Fillmore has
gained 1920 over the vote of last years
election. But the despatch says the count
ry parishes show large Democratic gains.
This, if correct, gives the State to Buchanan.
California is doubtful State, but is con-
fidently claimed for Buchanan.
The Fillmore majority in Baltimore is so
heavy that it may defeat Buchanan in
Maryland. The partial returns from Ken
lucky also indicate that Fillmore has ma
iority in the State. We do not consider it,
however, by any means certain in either
State. We shall be happily disappointed il
the 12O votes of the Slave States are not
thrown as a unit for Buchanan and Breck-
enridge.
We have no figures from New Jersey, but
the reports favor Buchanan.
A dispatch last night from Harrisburgh
states that the Unionists gave up Pennsyl-
vania to Buchanan by some 10000 majority
We fear it is too true, as the vote for the
straight Fillmore ticket is heavy in Phila
delphia and in otherportions of the State.
Private dispatches from Chicago state
that Illinois has gone for Fremont by 5000
majority, and that Wisconsin has gone the
same way.
We have but very few returns from Indi
ana. They do not indicate sufficient ratio
of gain to overcome the Democratic major
ity at the State election.
The comparatively few returns from Ohic
indicate about the same Republican major
ity as in October.
From the returns and information we hay'

Colonel Benton arrived here yesterday.
He speaks at mass meeting to night in
support of Buchanan.
Advices from Mansas to the 28th inst,
state that the coyention for the nomination
of delegate to Congress met at Big Springs
on that day, Nearly all the districts are
represented. Judge Schuyler presided;
Mr.. Hutchinson and Rev. Sabine Secreta-
ries.
First ballot Reeder received I0s votes;
Parrott II. Reeder was declared unani-
mously nominated.
A territorial canvassing committee Of five
were appointed.
Resolutions were passed endorsing the
political course of Gov. Reeder, and ex-
pressing determination zealously and ac-
lively to sustain Freedom in Kansas.
Another resolution sensunng Geary was
indefinitely postponed. The prisoners were
on trial at Lecompton. Gov. Geary was
still in the southern part of the Territory ma
king arrests.
Early Saturday morning small cabinet
mandatory in the northern part Of the city
was consumed by fire. Ten ofthe employ
ees of the establishment slept in the build
ing, three of whom jumped from the attic
window, but before the others could be res
cued the floor and walls gave way, precipi-
tating them into the cellar, where they per
ished beneath the ruins.-The parties were
Germans, having no relatives outside of the
city.
