The Elections.

| BALTIMORE Baltimore there is a
terrible state Of feeling between the
American party and the naturalizcd
voters. For some days previous to
the election (Which took place on the
4th inst. much anxiety was felt for
the safety of voters at the polls. The
Governor of the State represented to
the President the great danger OF
bloodshed at the State election, and
asked for United States troops to pro.
tect the polls in Baltimore. The reply
is understood to be a refusal, coupled
with the statement, by way of expla-
nation. that the Government adheres
to the principles embodied in the At
torney Generals opinion denying the
application Of the Governor of Californ-
ia for troops to assist in putting down
the San Francisco vigilance commit
tee in 1856. Gov. Wise, however,
sent 5000 muskets to Baltimore in
compliance with the request of Gov.
Lyon. So the Marylanders were
likely to have free fight upon the
most approved Kilkenny principles
on election day. A Geographic dis
patch from Baltimore on the evening
of election day, says that the election
passed off more quietly in the latter
part of the day than was expected,
although there had been great deal
of disorder and bloodshed. In the
18th Ward two men were seriously if
not fatally injured. Another man
was shot near the 4th Ward polls.
The police have captured quantity
of arms that had been taken from one
or two of the armories.
