already rung through the terrified of a crimi-
nal administration.
The returns, as we have said indicate the cleo
ton OF Curtin (Rep.) for Governor, by $1,000 to
10000 majority. In Philadelphia the vote stands,
Curtin (Rep.) 80 744; Foster Dem. Al, SIT. Fos-
ters majority 2,043. The Peoples party elect
their entire county ticket over the Democrats. All
the Republican candidates for Congress in the city
districts are elected, except in the ls. where Leh-
man is chosen by l39 majority. This District was
represented in the last Congress by Hon. 7. B..
Florence (Dem.). In the Second District
Morris (Rep) has 797 mai; in the Sd, Verree
(Rep.) has 800 maj, and in the 4th Kelly (Rep.)
is chosen by | l35 majority
In the 9TH District, composed of parts of Mont
gomery county and Philadelphia, Davis (Rep.l J
succeeds by a close vote.
Nicholas (Rep) beats Randall Dem for State
Senator, in Philadelphia, 264 votes.
The Inquirer (Rep.) of yesterday, says:
The vote for Foster in this city embraced both
wings OF the Democracy and about fOurffths of the

weaker than anticipated by either friends or
foes, having carried the city by about 2,000 In
the First Congressional District the Breckenridge
men cut Mr.. Lehman very extensively, while the
Douglas party revenged by cutting Mr.. Randall,
the candidate for State Senate, in consequence of
which Mr.. Lehman is probably elected, and Mr..
Randall defeated by a close vote. In the Second
District many Democrats cut Mr. Brodhead and
voted for Mr. Fuller. which enabled Mr.. Morris to
walk over the course.
In the Third District all three parties adhered to
their candidates, and the result is close vote,
which, at the moment of writing, leaves the result
in doubt, though Mr.. Ferree, Peoples candidate, is
probably elected by about three hundred. In the
Fourth District Judge Kelley (Peope's) is elected
by about twelve hundred, and in the Fifth the
probabilities are that Mr.. Davis is elected by a
close vote Mr.. lngersOll (Dem.) The whole
city ticket of the Peoples party is believed to be
elected by msjorities varying from 500 to 500.
Of the Congressman. Mr.. Hickman, in the Sixth,
Mr.. Campbell, in the Eleventh, Mr.. Grow, in the
Fourteenth, Mr.. Mcpherson in the Seventeenth,
and Mr.. Scranton, in the Fifteenth, are certainly
elected Mr.. LOngneckeTs election is doubtful.
Mr.. Covode is probably elected.
The Democrats have elected Mr.. johnson in the
Thirteenth and Mr.. AncOna in the Eighth. And if
we may count Anti LecomptOn Democrats with the
Peoples party, the latter have lost two Congress
men, in the Fifth and Eighth Districts, far as
heard from.
In the State the reported maorities for Curtin
are immensely greater than the majorites last

over Ii 900. Allegany gives Curtin I, 900, against
3,2l4 last year. Lancaster gives $500, against
4,l69 last year. Chester gives 500, against O22
last year. Erie 1900 against ,2OG last year. Lee
banOn 800, against l. l62 last year.
On the other hand Foster loses severely in some
of the strongest Democratic counties. For in
stance, Berks only gives $500, though counted on
for 5000; Northampton 900, estimated at 1000;
and though he gains in several counties, especially
where the Bell and Everett party has existence,
yet on the average, he loses largely, and Curtin s
majority will hardly be less than $1,000, and may
reach 10000.
The consequence of this will probably be an utter
Abandonment of fusion in the State, which is GER
tain to go for Lincoln in November, and the trans
fer of the endeavor to break the solid column of
Lincoln States to New York, which from now to
the Presidential election, will be the scene OF a
fierce contest.
The Press, the organ of the ultra Douglas wing,
says:
The returns of yesterdays election indicate the
election OF Col. Andrew Gregg Curtin, as Governor
of Pennsy ylvana, by unprecedented majority.
Mr.. Fosters silence has assisted him, it would
seem, with no section of the Democratic party.
The vote has been unusually large, and the defeat
sngu larly significant. The returns speak in boder
and stronger Saxon than we can write.
There happily be no more baking Of
the great question involved in the Presidential
struggle. The reasons in favor of a combination
against Abraham Lincoln however they may ope
rate in advance of that which is to be decided on

effective when men come to choose between cand
dates, each of whom represents a principle antag
onistc to the other.
Now, we take it there can be no more union be
tween Breckinridge and Douglas than between
two naturally repusive forces. Each represents
a distinctive platform No advocate of MIR. DOu
glas believes, or affects to believe in the doctrine
upon which Major Breckinridge stands, and no ad
vocate of Major Breckenridge believes, or affects to
believe, in the doctrine upon which Mr.. Doug las
stands. The Southern friends of Breckenridge,
frank than the most of the friends of Douglas,
declare, as general thing, that under no circum-
stances will they ever accept either the candidate
or the creed upon which the regular Democracy
stand.
Every fusion in the Free States, therefore, is in
tended to promote the election of John G. Breckin-
ridge to the Presidency of the United States.
The friends of Mr.. Douglas rather than see them
selves used instruments in favor of extreme
Southern Disunonism, will now leave the RESPONSE
bity of the coming result to those who, while pro
testing that the election Of Abraham Lincoln must
lead to the dissolution of the Union, stubbornly
fused to sustain and support the only candidate be-
| fore the American people who could have prevent
ed the election of Mr.. Lincoln.
