THE ELECTIONS.

Ns1O York-The Democrats have carried
New York by a plurality Of 10000. The re.
suit is not owing to an increased Democratic
vote over that of the Presidential election, but
t. the fact that near 100000 Republicans s.aid
at home. The Republicans may have carried
the Senate, while the House is Administration.
Massachusetts, Republicans have tri.
umphed by great plurality in the old Bay
State. Banks is $4,000 ahead, and the Legis
lature is, overwhelmingly Republican. CIV.
Gardner has finished the political episode in his
life, and has set mp his sign as a banker.
WiSconsin.-This State is in doubt. We
trust the Administrationists are beaten, but it
is uncertain.
Chicago has held city election, the Repub
licans triumphing by 1900 votes.
Ne10 Jersey ranges itself with the Admins
traton. The Senate stands Is Democrats to
Republicans House, So Democrats to 25 Re
publicsns
The Louisiana election has resulted in
Democratic triumph.

THE TOPEKA CONSTITUTION : The "Ion "
Washington correspondent Of the Baltimore
Sun writes as follows:
"The result of the late election in Kansas
has been such as to show that the Free State
party have large aud decided majority in the
Territory. They will not, after this evidence of
their strength, be welldisposed towards any com.
promise with the Constitutional Convention upon
the subject of State Constitution, and will, as
is believed, reject any Constitution which the
Convention may frame and submit, and go back
to and rely upon their spurious Topeka ConSti,
tuition. 10 this way the Kansas agitation is like
ly to be prolonged"
This is amusing. If the friends of the Topeka
Constitution are a large majority of the people
of Kansas, Why have they not right to adopt
it if they please? Can Congress force Con-
stitution upon the people of a Territory Can
slavery'upholdiDg minority do IT'D And, un-
der such circumstances, how does the Topeka
Constitution become Spurious 2" The Free
State citizens of Kansas are under no obliga-
ton to compromise with the ruffians who
have heretofore abused them. No doubt the
Administration would like them to compromise.
We take it that they will proceed in an orderly
and constitutional method to prepare for a new
Constitutional Convention, unless the present
one reports document which meets with their
appreciation.

THACKERAY.-The correspondent of an ex.
change, abiding to lecture delivered by the
notorious Lola Montez, says:
I" But did not 60. l love women 80 well
that | avoid all ISLANDERS on their sex, and such
[ considered her. l never could have drawn q
Becky Sharp, for l never could have known
one. Having discovered the outlines of her
character, would sooner have made sketches
of the Plague, and studies of all loathsome
leprosies, than have stayed to observe and de
pict her corruption. Mr.. Thackeray, you see
preserves the secret of his disinfecting fluid
and does not tell US by what moral antiseptic
he energies from such company, not the worse
for having kept it."
Perhaps this is harsh criticism upon the
novelist, yet the majority of his readers will
think it just-when his earlier works are under
consideration. But, like Balwer, his last novels
are his best. In "The Newcomers" we miss
much of his cold skeptcism as regards human
nature. Let US hope that, in his forthcoming
novel, there will be still less of it.

The FRAUDULENT VOTE OF OXFORD. - 1t
seems that the persons who were guilty of the
fraudulent returns from Oxford precinct, in
Kansas, had little invention, and copied nearly
fifteen hundred of their list of names from an
old Directory. Says Kansas correspondent
of the Cincinnati Times:
on " '. .ss.s5oa az uins1fehet, and,
taking out Of his portfolio large roll of paper,
said to the crowd that he would show them
curiosity, if they promised not to destroy it,
He then unroIled the returns of the precinct of
Oxford, which contained sixteen hundred and
one names, I'll written in the came handwriting,
and which measured exactly fifty four feet in
length. All these names, except one hundred
and twenty, were copied from Williams's Gin
cinnati Directory those commencing with
the same letter following each other as regular
ly IS they do upon the pages of that book"
Yet the Southern "chvalry" storm loudly
against Governor Walker for not endorsing this
abridgment of the Cincinnati Directory.

"Ion," of the Baltimore Sun, records the sub
joined representations in reference to the next
Congress:
"The elections for Representatives in the
next Congress are now over, with the exception
of the Louisiana election. The Democratic
ma orty, supposing the louisiana delegation to
stand as in the last Congress, will not be less
than sixteen over both the Republicans and
Americans. On sectional questions the Amer
leans elect, all of whom are from Southern
States, Will probably act with the friends of the
Administration, and upon other questions will
be in the opposition. Ii the Democrats unite
in the caucus for the organization of the House,
as probably they will do, there VIII be no difficult
ty in the choice of Speaker and Clerk both
selected as friends Of the Administration. So
FAR, all will go on smoothly.
" 1t is not probable that the Kansas question
will rend the party asunder prior to the organ
ization, if at all.
"When questions shall arise, however, which
may involve the Walker Administration poll.
cy-supposing the Administration policy to be
then well defined, and to be identical in regard
to any vital point with the acts Of Governor
Waker--such number of Southern Democratic
memb ers may secede as to tkrow the Admins
tration into a minority, or entirely DESTROY the
Inc
Northern Democrats, fifty three in number, will
lind great relief from az unknown future BY
following the lead of the Administration, and
at the same time confirming with the views
of their constituents. But if the tone of Dor
ton of the Southern press rightly reflects the
sentiments OF any considerable part of the South,
q number Of the Southern d mocratc mem.
bers will take decided stand against course
of Federal action which has tended, as they
think, to make Kansas a free State. Nothing
is more probable than the appearance in Con
gress of Southern organization against the
Administration"
We do not believe that Governor Walker will
be rejected by the Senate. In case the fire.
eaters revolt, we presume the Republicans will
unite with the Northern Democrats to secure
his appointment Should matters proceed to
extremities, the Republican Senators may hold
the balance of power between the factions.
