THE ELECTIONS.

MAssACIIUsErrs.-Asw was predicted las,
week, the Republicans have swept the old
Bay State, and Nathaniel p Banks has been
chosen Governor by over twenty-thrce thou
sand plurality! Considering the opposition
which Mr.. Banks has had to encounter, this
is noble vote. and the State has done hon
or to itself and the late popular Speaker Of
the House of Representatives. AS soon as
the result was known in Boston, the immense
crowd which had gathered in State street
organized into procession, and headed bv a
band of music, marched through the streets
and in the evening proceeded to the Revere
House. where it was addressed by Mr.. Banks
Senator Wilson and Mr.. Burlngame.
New YoEK-Thc election in this State
which also occurred on Tuesday, passed in
the city with a less number of rows and
mobs than usual. which is probably owing to
the hard times" In New York city, full re-
turns from fourteen wards give the democrats
1000 majority over the Republicans ard
5000 over all. The American loss in the CT
ty is about 10000. The returns from the
whole State are rather mcaSre, but it looks
dubious for the Republicans.
