The extended returns of our State election,
which we publish this morning, confirm our an
lticipations of the probable result Notwithstand-
ling the 10000 plurality for Fremont, and the
sixty odd thousand for Governor King, last No
Iyember, we were satisfied some months ago that
the great issue of the Presidential election
ubleediug Kansas"-had died out, and that the
practical issues touching the spoils and plumber
corruptions of our last winters Seward Leglsla-
ture and the pressure of this financial revusion,
would operate to give the democracy the ascen-
dency in this November contest, with anything
like discipline, confidence and eXertiOn on their
part.
I'd, From the Post Republican y
We present our readers with the returns, as
far as received, of the vote for Secretary OF
State 1t is unusually light considering the favor
able state ofthe weather yesterday, and less than
the usual interest in a state election seems to
have been manifested. Few Of the counties eS-
bibit full returns and it would be difficult to de-
eide from those received the actual result in the
state. In this city the Republicans stand near
IIy three Thousand better than ut the PreSiden-
tial election last year, but have not done so well
lin the interior. Our returns by telegraph, to-
lday, will probably enable us to decide with
which party lies the victory.

to show how the voting runs. 1t tells nothing
beyond the fact that, SO far, the Democrats are
ahead and with n fair prospect of winning the
race. But, then, it is well to bear in mind that
nearly all the strong democratic districts are IN
while nothing definite as yet has been received
| from the remoter Republican districts of the
| North, the West and the interior,-dstant
from the line of Geographic communication.
Before the election, it was generally anticiPa-
ted that light vote would be poIlcd all round
and the figures before us show that the anticipa-
ton was well founded. The money pressure,-
the arrangement of business, and the cOnsequent
sufferings Of the people, present and prospect
live. have produced an indifference to politics
and party, rarely parallcled in the annals OF the
State.
4th, From the Tribune, (strong anti-slavery)
We are as yet, of course, without full returns
Of State Election hnt what we have are
sufficient to indicate Republican defeat by
from IL, 900 to 10000. Tho Democratic vote
is we believe lust about the same as that for
Buchanan last year, while nearly One Hundred
Thousand Republicans have abstained from vot-
| ing. This is sort of abstinence that we can
not approve; but we must state facts as we find
| them. The "American" vote is less than half
polled by the same party last year. Some who
then voted on that side have united with the Re-
publicans. others with the Democrats, as their

9th. From the Courier and Enquirer, (Whig
and Republican,
The Geographic returns from the interior of
the State come in very slowly, and it is still inn
| possible to determine whether the Republican
| or Democratic State Ticket has succeeded. All
depends upon the extent OF the falling OH OF
the Republican vote in the great agricultural
counties, and on this head the telegraph furnish
g as yet too few dates to Justify any definite in
ference. 1t is only known that the aggregate
vote of the State will exhibit an immense reduc-
ton from that Of last year, and that the plurall-
ty of either State ticket will be small ut best
So alpervading an apathy upon the occasion of
an annual election has hardly precedent III the
political history of the State.
9Th, From the Times, Independently
Thus far the Republican losses do not seem
sufficient to extinguiSh their very large majority
of last year, and we are inclined to believe that
the Republican State ticket is elected. We hear
of the election of IL Democratic Senators, with
| 10 Districts to hear from; more will give them
a majority. The Assembly probably will have
a Democratic majority.
Mdss1chusettS-In Massachusetts,, Mr.. Banks
has plurality of nearly $4,000. Twelve towns
are to be heard from. The majority of the Re-
lpublicans in the Legislature is heavy. The
general vote, however, shows a large falling off
since 1856. We draw upon the Boston Bee for
the subjoined extracts, from which it may be
readily inferred that the Bee & Co. went their
length for Banks. Our other Boston exchanges
did not come to hand yesterday to furnish
with our usual PER CONTRA. Says the Bee:
