q few returns which have come in this week
General Lane is elected, we judge, by from
1900 to 1000 majority. Some of the Nor
thern Counties have not done as well for
him as was to be reasonably expected.
We account for this in this way, viz: The
former opposition brought out no man, and
conceded Gen. Lanes election as certain
ty. The Standard newspaper, protesting
to be Democratic, went over to the Oppo-
sition-and drew off many Democrats by
false representations, deception; and in
trigue, and uniting with the opposition
the editor, Leland, himself voting against
Lane-it is not surprising that Gen. Lane
suffered in his vote. There ore many who
would have come out for Lane, but from
the idea generally entertained that he
would be elected triumphantly. There are
some who claim that the Platform of the
Democratic Convention has resulted badly
That this Platform has been perverted in
its meaning by few demagogues, and some
dsaffection created is very probable. But
the deception will be seen in due time
and the honest democrats who have been
duped will denounce their deccivers

Business of all kinds appears to be lively
in San Francisco, and the mines continue
to yield largely. The San Francisco
Herald says "The shipping of goods for the
California market has for many years,
formed an important branch of commerce
in the Ecastern cities. The necessaries
and luxuries of life for which we we're de.
pendant nearly altogether in early timR on
importations from the Atlantic, arc now
supplied in great measure from within
our own borders Each day our ability to
do so increases, and of course this fact is
felt in the eastern markets"
