The result on Tuesday last is the most pro-
nounced endorsement ever given to a candi-
date for the Presidency since the first cleo
ton of President, and the most emphatic
rebuke ever given to the opposing candidate.
In 1852, when PIERCE swept the country,
leaving only four States to General SCOTT,
with AZ electoral votes, PIERCE had barely an
endorsement of the people of the Union.
The vote in 1852 on President is recorded as
follows: Franklin Pierce, Democrat, 1885,
337; Winfield Scott, Wing, 1888, 537; John
P. Hale, Free Soil, 157, 1886.

HERE is still another international compl.-
cation! Mr.. Mark Harden, Gov. Perham's
private secretary, addressed note 1--WE are so
glad it was a "neat and courteous one) to
Her Majesty, Queen Victoria" requesting
her autograph. But Instead of the Victoria
r." which Mr. Harden had a right to expect
as proper attention from one sovereign to
another, he received note from ''Sir Thorn
as Biddolph," private secretary to the Queen,
i'll which the mighty Biddolph says he is
Commanded by tho Queen to say, in effect.
that she is bored so much by similar requests
that she will see Mr.. Harden in circumstanc-
es of great discomfort and hardship before she
will give her autograph to him or any other
person. All OF which is dated at Bucking-
ham Palace, written on ostentatiously fune-
real paper, as slight token of respect to
Prince Albert, and stamped with the Queens
arms. In our opinion, if Mr.. Harden is
reasonable man he will content himself with
the autograph of the puissaut Biddolph Sir
Thomas is live baronet and baronet, as
everybody knows, is almost as good as a live
lord. But perhaps he will prefer to appeal
to his government, and see if the matter
can't be settled oy arbitration. If not, Bid.
