UPToN. Nov. 6, 1857.
Geatlenen-In your published returns Of the
recent election, you make Upton give Henry }.
GARNER lSS votes. Now, we are mighty poor
down here, and feel the hard times dreadiully.
We have our little SINS and our great sinners
some of US ought to be in the County House, no
doubt-otbers Of us would serve the Common
wealth well at Charlestown But we are not so
bad as ihat--Do, indeed. With all the drilling
and eanvassIng Of the deluded, together with the
absorption INFO its ranks OF all the bereaved ones,
like Mr.. Hillard, the Guy Fawkes party was
only able to muster IS voters, all told. Dear
editors, do correct tue mistake. We love and
are jealous Of our good name, aud we cannot bear
20 have the community think We could be guilty
of such obquity as to give Henry J. Gardner
majority Of our yotea. W. are unfortunate, but
not otally depraved. MlcAwBER

The ELECTIONS. Wisconsin is carried by the
republicans by from 5000 to 5000 majority on
governor, with certainly legislature to match.
The majority for the republican governor in
Iowa is 1900, with r. publican majority Of IN
the Senate, ~ to l4,) and 10 in the House, al
to 81 Iowa's republicanism may be considered
a fixed fact She stands firm. AS the legisla.
ture OF Iowa is chosen for two years. upon this
one will devolve the duty of electing U. S Sem
ator in place of Geo. w. Jones, adm, whose
term expires March 4, So So this victory is one
worth Growing over.
Governor Ramsey, republican, $50 ahead
for the govemoIship of Minnesota, at last &C.
counts. but all the Indians were not heard from,
and though he clearly has majority of l,50D to
1000 in the legal vote. we presume he will be
cheated out of the place by frauds as wicked, il
not gross, as those in Kansas.
The official vote of Ohio for Governor, is re-
ported as follows Chase. (Republcan) 100 ,568;
Payne. (Dem l59 Oe5; Van Tromp, (Am.) o.
1853. Plurality for Chase, 1903. The vote at the
last gubernstorial election lin 1861 was as fol-
lows Chase, l46,770; Mednl, (Dem.) 1Sl OLE;
Trimblc, (Am.) 24,276. 1t will be seen that
while both the Republicans and Democrats have
largely increased their votes This year, the Amer
leans have nearly deserted the field
In New York, the democrats elected their can
didates for Secretary Of State, Comptroller,
Treasurer, Attorney General, &C., BY some 49,
900 plurality, but the new Senate will stand IL
Republicans, to IA Democrats, and American,
elected BY Republican votes, thds giving the Re-
publicans decided working majority in the SEN
ate. The House of Assembly stands SO Repub-
lcans, 81 democrats, and 4 Americans, giving
the Republicans the plurality in this branch.
