The preponderance of the National
Wing" over the - Radical Abolition" ticket
in Burlington, is noticeable due. no doubt,
to the superior numbers of the Fillmore vote
distributors, of whom there were four or five
times as many as of the other ticket. Four
votes to each peddler was the average allow
ance, on each ticket, as near as we can make
it out.
Vermont will give the gallant Pathfinder
all she has promised him. The Republican
gains are large everywhere, 40 odd towns
giving an increase Of some $500 over the
September maiorities.

BURLINGTON
FRIDAY MORNING, NOVEMBER I, 1856.
The GCnernl Ncsnlt.

The final result of the great contest is still
in doubt. As we write, Thursday morning.)
the indications are that Mr.. Buchanan has
carried northern States enough to defeat Col.
Fremont, and has failed to get Southern
States enough to secure his own election.
Pennsylvania and New Jersey apparently
have failed the cause of freedom in its hour
of need, while the southern phalanx is likely
to lack the support of Maryland, Kentucky
and possibly louisiana. The Republican
party, in years but an infant, has shown
the strength of a man. II our victory is not
won it is only postponed. Our colors are
still flying, nailed to the mast. Our ship is
stauLch and strong under US. IF beaten now,
we will consign our dead to the deep, hang
the traitors, repair our damages, and with
fresh courage fight the battle of freedom till
we triumph.
Our readers will rejoice in the proud po-
sition of Vermont, whose majority of THIRTY
THOUSAND places her at the head of the Free
mont list in New England's plurality of
ONE HUNDRED AND TWENTY THOUSAND for the
Pathfinder in the recollection of Arson Bur-
lingame Of Massachusetts,, and in the almost
certain defeat Of Erastus Brooks, for governor
of New York. So much is solid comfort.

The ELECTION OF PREsIDENT.-In voting for
President and Vice President, each State is
entitled to a certain number of electoral
votes, equal to its Senators and Representa-
tive in Congress. A plurality of votes in
each State decides the choice in favor of one
or another of the electoral tickets. A major
ity of the electoral votes is necessary to the
choice of President or Vice President. The
electoral colleges meet in different States,
and transmit their votes to the President of
the Senate, by whom they are opened
and counted in the presence Of the Senate
and House. If no person have a majority of
the votes for President, then from the per-
sons having the highest number, not exceeding
three, the House of Representatives shall
choose Immediately, by ballot, the President.
But in choosing the President the votes shall
be taken by states, the representation from
each State having one vote. A majority of
all the States is necessary to a choice
The senate chooses the Vice President, if
there is no choice by the electoral colleges,
who becomes e~x-oficio President, after the
fourth of March, if the House fails to elect
in the interim. If no Vice President is cleo
ted by the people the Senate must elect from
the two candidates, who have the highest
number of votes, and a majority of the Sem
ators is necessary for a choice, We subjoin u
tabular statement of the electoral votes of
the several States

Passed of very quietly in Burlington, The
vote thrown is a large one, owing to the fact
that many, perhaps $50, from Winooski and
other adjoining villages, found it most con-
venient to vote here. Burlington, as usual,
has no need to be ashamed of her figures

Sept. election, (to 81 Buchanan increase,)

TRUE WoRDs.-Wo take the following from
Gen. f., E. Spinner's letter, written from
Congress, June 81, 1856.
You say that " you hope to see Kansas ad-
mitted in the Union as a free state, but that
it will be in the hands OF those who settle on
the soil to decide that matter"
The whole Kansas ~iniquity is q fraud and
an unmitigated lie, and was so from its very
inception and it's friends and devotees con-
tinue to propagate the falsehood, now that
its utter hypocrisy has become apparent to
every intelligent mind. | say 10 you that
those who settle on the soil have not been,
and will not be permitted to settle the mat
ter the bona tde settlers are prohibited by
law, on pain of being treated and punished
as common %ielons, from ever discussing the
question. " Left to decide !" Shame, oh,
shame, The law organizing the territory
never intended any such thing as leaving 1t
to the people to decide.
Under the specious plea of popular sover-
eighty, it sent into the territory a governor,
"a iudio and marshals, appointed by the
federal government here, and who were all
selected with especial reference to this very
question Of negro slavery against the will of
the actual settlers and then this pro-sIave-
~ government permitted, if it did not insti-
EfN' " h'ihO " ului pbiopipi w
invade the territory and force upon its peace
full people laws more odious and despotic
than would be tolerated for a day In any
other part of the civilized world. and these
pretended laws are now being executed by
the very rufiins who enacted them, by force
Of arms, with the sanction of the federal
government, with rapine, arson and murder
IN their train, upon peaceable, unofending
citizens of the territory and in all these
crimes, the murderous robbers and implaca-
bic pro-slavery despots are sustained and ap-
plauded by northern 20 dOugh-faces."
But believe me, rs true as there is a just
God, this wrong will be avenged.
And now for the remedy. The people must
rally to the coming contest, and wrest
that power, which they have SO grossly
abu sed, from the hands that now hold it, and
confde it to others. that will bring the gov
crnment back to the Jefersonian idea OF de-
mocracy. Should this fail, no true man
would he any longer safe here from the as
saults of the arrogant slave oligarchy, which
would then rule with an iron hand.
For the free North would then be left the
choice of a peaceful dissolution of the Union,
a civil war which would end in the same, or
nm unconditional surrender of every principle
held dear by freemen. Come what Will, let
others do as they may, I shall never yleld to
the last. Everything else may go before l

Newspapers.--A man eats a pound
of sugar, and SO ends the pleasure he

from newspaper is treasured up in
the mind, to be used whenever occa,
sion or inclination calls for it, for a
newspaper is no wisdom of one man,
or two men--it is the wisdom of the
age-of past ages, too. A family
without a newspaper is always half
an age behind the times in general
information, besides they never think
much nor find much to think about
And there are the little ones growing
up in ignorance without a taste for

The Philadelphia Election.-The
Washington Union says:

Washington Union says:
Thomas, the Black Republican can
ddate for mayor, received only twelve
votes, the Black republicans voting in
body for the Know Nothing candi-
date.
The Union could scarcely have failed
to know that the above was an entire
misrepresentation ofthe facts. SO far
from the Black Republicans voting for
the American candidate, it is notorious
that they by unanimous consent aban-
doned the organization in favor of the
Democratic nominees; their leading
paper, tho Northern American, which
has for more than a year past been
openly and strongly Republican, using
all it's influence and no doubt with con-
sderal success. The truth is that the
managers Of the free-soil party are
now generally uniting with the North
ern Democrats in the municipal cleo
tons, to procure the defeat Of the
American party, in the hope of de-
pressing and disorganizing that party
at the Presidential election, wellknow-
ing ifthat result can be achieved their
triumphs over the Democrats in the
Northern States would be a matter oil
