Pyon Our Ocs CoTrt'pondent


BOsTON, Nov. g. 1855.
There is nothing additional to say about our
election. We have no very close districts to per-
plex ourselves about, and there are no contested
seats. None of our Congressman have maj0rties
90 large as Mr.. Spinner's or Mr.. FentOn's in your
State, and none SO uncomfortably small as Mr..
Haskin's. There is some dispute as to whether
Mr.. Deano, or Mr.. Thayer, or Mr.. Buffinton, has
the hrgeat msjority. Each of them has over four
thousand Mr.. Thsyer has the strongest Repnb-
can district, and if he had not run several hundred
votes behind his ticket he would have been first in
the list without doubt. / think it proper to IRen-
ton this fact because an Industrious effort seems
To be made to represent that his Interpolation of
Sauatter Sovereignty into the Republican platform
has been re gardtd with favor by the voters He has
not received so many votes in his district as Gov.
Banks and in making up an estimate OF their rela-
tive strength notice should be taken of the fact
that the American candidate for Governor, Mr..
Lawrence received over seven hundred votes IN
the District, while there no American candi-
date for Congress. Mr.. Thayer no doubt received
the votes of nearly the whole number of these
Americans and therefore should have run ahead of
the Governor several hundred votes. Instead OF
this, he is behind. Two of the leading Republican
papers in the District, The Worcester Transcript,
doctrines while they urged people to vote for him,
and without doubt many voters, probably msjor-
ity, went for him under similar protest,
No sooner is the State election settled than the
note of preparation is sounded for the municipal
election. The Temperance men are first IN the
field At their State Convention last Summer they
took ground in favor of making an effort to get pos
session of the various City Governments, of which
they have hardly any at the present time. Boston,
Roxbury. Charestown, Cambridge, Worcester,
Springfield Salem and Newbug port are all against
them. The j emperance men think they can OBJ
tain control of the Councils in most of these places,
if they make separate organization and an earnest
effort. They are probably very much mistaken,
and will find out their mistake before the first OF
January. The State Temperance Committee is
composed of very clever and well-meaning men,
but they are not wise as serpents, though To the
runl-seers they are about as harmless as doves. L
do not believe separate Temperance nomination
would obtain than 500 votes in Boston.
Perhaps BY judicous maneuvcring. in connection
with the regular Republican organization. they
might succeed in electng Mayor and City Coun-
cil who would more faithfully execute the laws
than the present Government. The Republicans
and the Democrats willprobably nominate ''clean"
tickets, as the phrase Is, though the chances are
against the cleanliness OF some OF the candidates. IN
a ply scal and moral point of view. The Commit
tee of Sixty under whose management Mayor Lin
coin was elected last year. viii probably renomnate
him. as there is no valid excuse for dropping him.
MANY Republicans are in favor of taking himup. Mr.
Lincoln. though of the old Whig persuasion, and
Smpathizing no doubt TO considerable extent With
the prejudice against the Republican leaders, is not
far gone as to preciptate himself into the Demo-
cratic party. 1t is understood that h. voted for
MT. Barhngsme last Tuesday, aud for others on the
Republican ticket, and he would probably have
'o'ed Tor Gov. Banks if his vote had been neces-
tsry 10 Keep Mr.. Beach out. The Democrats talk
OF running John I. Heard, and if they conclude To
ao so' VIII give hun strong vote. 1t is reported
mat II iieard had been chosen To Congress, his
Hienas we're gong to pay off Gardner by nominat-
ing hlm Tor Mayor. But that game is now up. To
shoW 'he democrats To succeed would be to give
up the city 10 the Irish and their Allie. and there
are hundreds Ol voters who are willing 10 give up
every thing 10 the shareholders in na,ional fr,;rs
who Will object to letting Boston 20 into .. ,co.
foco hands. DR.. j. V. {. Smith has y.ry NAV.
pectedly turned up AS a candidate for Msyor benc
probably tired OF hls enforced retirement ,or the
last three years. He was nominated NJ a se,r.
meeting on Saturday night, but by whom does M
appear, nor Is II Of any great consequences. No
party has any confidence in him. His supporters
are probably what The Courier would call ",be
tag-end of Know Nothingism."
The victory achieved by Senator Douglas is a
matter OF surprise only 10 the unintiated in poll
tics II excites but little regret except on account
OF its supposed evil influence upon the prospects of
the Republicans IN lS6Q. But It seems quite too
