EE- The election passed off very
pleasantly. and very quietly. Three
parties being in the field, the. contest as
sumed a somewhat different phase to
what it has heretofore, and our majority,
as was to be expected, is not SO large as
usual 'Fhe great fight was made against
Judge TARoR, on account Of his peculiar
religious sentiments, Cor perhaps, more
correctly, on account Of some public ex.
PRECISION Of ihem.) We think the deter
mination with both the Democrats and
Union men was to defeat the Judge at all
hazards, and we must say, they came
rather uncomfortably close to succeeding.
Our noble friends in Liberty, Newton,
and Alton. however, blocked the game.
They stoo | nobly by their Republican,
i'm, and refused to be drawn into the
Union sod, which, as we predicted,
could have 70 other effect than to give
the c>uaty OYER 10 the Democracy. The
great strength Of the Union ticket came
out Of the Republicans. and it was only
because Of the weakness of the Union
party-so called-that we have again a
Republican county administration. We
hope the lesson will prove of benefit to
the Republicans hereafter. Let them
rem, mber that the great mass of the
Democra will cling TO their candidates
and their organization, under any ordi-
nary circumstances, and that it is not
safe to make any other calculation.
We give the returns, AS far as we have
received them, on Governor and County
Treasurer-lhe highest and the lowest
candidates. The returns on the othe,
candidates we have received but imper-
fectly. but know that they all lead Judge
TABOR. The plurality for Mr.. LAKE will
be about 80, and the other candidates
OH our county ticket will surely receive
I0 smaller Vote.

10 Republican votes.
Coy. Klkwood's majority will be about
:s5. Judge Tabor's majority will b.
about 80. Nothing. but the abiding
faith which the people have in Judge
TABoK's honesty, integrity. uprighlness
oi tcAaracter, and failhfulness to duty.
could have carried him through such a
.oit'esf, within saving distance. Taking
everything into consideration the Judge
has a right to regard this endorsement of
him as the most factoring that The people
of Buchanan County has yet given him.
He will we'll repay tho confidence.
