Uurnaaan W V.ler ie.
We give today at full particular at we
are able of tho Presidential conteit, (bo
result of which will probably bknn lo
our readen bfbre ihf jr tee thi paper.
Although tin Oct'ilier elections in Pitinj .
vatiia and Iuiliiiia ImJ riintirbly pre
pare ut for the wort, yet we bare no
dciir to ditguise tbe deep sorrow we f!
at the temporary triumph of principle
which are antipodul to thoie mhicb form the
substantive basis of a republican govern
ment. Our grief ii of (bat polgnani and
heartfelt character well understood by
those who have experienced a shock of tin
moral sensibilizes by the triumph of vice
over virtue, of violence and villainy over
those principle! that are cherished by the
moral fueling, lic-IJ mint cred by the
wise and good, ami which puis tho capstone
of perfection lo civilization, disiinguihing
tn the map of the world enlightened from
civilized nation. Excepting the poli:icl
leaders, the great mass of those who have
just voted to suttain the rotten party that
has rode into power do not understand the
matter iu this light. The real iaiuesof
the campaign have born studiously kept
out of light by tho lying political journals,
lliul fur a pecunisry consideration have led
the pouple into the qnnrniro of internal
feud and political de-potm, under tbe
guidance of jack-o'-larilern democracy.
To suppote otherwise, would be to admit at
correct t darker portrait of international
morality than we are willing to believe
the nation is just now prepared to sit for.
The peoplo (politicians excepted) have, in
supporting the principles of the party,
been led to Lclievo that in this contest ii
was Buchanan verius Fremont, instead of
the fillibustu ring and niggor-driving policy
of Southern secessionists, headed by such
arch-traitors as Brooks, who, in a Buchanan
speech in South Carolina, October 3d, a
copy of which we have before us, said :
"Now, fellow citizens, it is impossible to make a
speech on a political ijueatlon without going Into
that tukjecl which it the politic of the country.
Wo havu no politics but the nigjrer.
J hate got but one iteue, and that it the negro.
I trll you, fellow citizene, from tho bot
tom of my heart, that tho only moilo which I think
availubla fur meeting it (thi neirro (pealion) it juet
to tear the Vontlilnlien of the tailed Statu,
tramtie it under foot, and form a Southern eon
fedrrory, every Slate of mhieh thtill te a thve.
naming sinie. I enati support Hiichan
an honestly, and fairly, and -lenloiwly. I shall do
It, liowatrcr, axavtly aa a good-hearted phyaicial
ceiilinuea lofivo medicine to a patient when ho
kiiewa ho ia dyinr;. I will aet the part
of a eood-heurlrd physician lo the democratic par
ty. I will Biro them Huehnnnn pilla.and if lliev do
liiain no good, 1 aliall cniiaolt myself by th reflec
tion thai I have dune my duty.
Wo might quoto from tho speeches of
many oilier prominent lending Southern
democrats to tho satno effect, showing that
slavery extension is tho great work of the
nigger-driving democracy, with the disso
lution of the Union ns an ultimatum in enso
of a fail urn. Northern doughfaces have
been frightened by the clamors of thrso
secessionists, and ninny of them by sup
porting Duohanan, because thoy thought
liiin a very clever fellow and was still James
Buchannn in spito of his insertion t lint ho
was nothing but n platform, have unwit
tingly perhaps endorsed tho most brutal
outrages perpetrated upon llie people of
Kansas by nrincd foreign invaders, and
rivctod the chains of slavery upon that fair
Territory. Practically, they have said by
a deliberate voto that tho barbarous laws
enacted by Missourinns for the government
of Kansas, which disfranchise every freo
Yotar by test oaths, laws which the admin
istration is enforcing by its officials, nro
good and wholesome, and that these suffer
ing citiims, who are now experiencing a
reign moro torril.le than that lo which tho
Austrian despotism ever subjected the con
quered Hungarians, nro justly dufinti
chisod, robbed, and murdered, for loving
liberty bettor than shivery. (
'i'h' great struggle between slavery and
freedom, instead of being decided by the
election of Buchanan, is but just begun.
Tho vast territory west of Kansas, with
Mexico, Central America, and the West
Indies, to be conquered by tho rulo laid
down in the Osteite! manifesto, ofTcr an
inviting field for "adventurers," where tbe
Hack genius of Slavery invites tho Brook
ses, the Keittscs, and Buchanans, in search
of laurels to lay at the feet, of thsir Dttl
cinea Del To Doso. Walker has already
established slavery in Nicaragua by way
of adorning hor as an ncccpiablo bride to
be married te our glorioua Uaion. Tbe
New Orleans Delta has already drawn up
programme for the grand canlpaign, iu
which modern democracy it to develop its
political character and rido gloriously on
conquering and to conquer. The Delta
proposes to revive tho slave trade diiect
with Africa, in ordor to supply the heavy
markets ahortly to b opened, and stupplv
the deficiency already existing in the
South. It says Heaven ordained this a a
chaunel fur keeping up a supply of nig
gers. Consequently our government,
which has, wiib all civilitaJ nations, dr.
dared the slave trade pirary, and which
Las expended vast sums of money to sup
press it, i now invited t0 chciish and foo
ter it as a legitimate means under GoJ of
developing our freo institutions 1
Some may think this is merely joke,
but we assure them it is all a solemn fact,
and w anlertain no doubt but that the
freat mass of the slaves to the blackdjui-
ocratie party would vote for President
upon that single issue, if they were told it
was democratic measure.
Tbii nation will either be ere Ion;
numbered among the nation that were, or
the scepter of power will be wrested from as
corrupt a political parly as over overthrew
the government of the Old World. W
believe there is yet virtue enough in the
people to reotify these abuses in due limn
Providence, we hope, will order all things
wl, God reigns, let the earth r-joice.
' Ul TsjUr'o Heat.
It will be seen by our Legislative re
ports that Lovcjoy, in behalf of the com
mittee to which was referred th matter,
has reported against the validity ef Col.
Taylor's claims le a (eat in th IIoue as a
representative ef Clatsop. The Col., ws
have little doubt, will be ousted, notwith
standing tho junlioo of his elaime, as wo
ua ler-tand the natter. Col. Taylor of
fered to run the race over again with
Motlitt last spring, if Moflitt dared to do so.
Rut no; he prefured te submit his claims lo
th ''clique" in Salem rather iban to the
people of hie own county, whoir sup
posed lo be net wholly debauched by the
corruptions of political intrigue. Th or
gan ef Czapkny and the cliqoe, new in
forms its tool at Salem that " Mr. Mof
fiil's claim must be just, or Mr. AT. would
not have urged tlum''
Thisef course is a knock down argument
with iu obsequious follower. If Mulkey
had contested Dryer's seat, the same reason
might hare barn offered, and with prob
ably like effect. The two role given to
Col. Taylor which are decided illegal, we
hear, were tw citizens ef Clatsop county
who, notwithstanding they pretended lo
held land claims ia Washington Territo
ry, claimed their reiidenee in Claltnp, and
ticore that they wen retidenli of the coun
ty. If they de not know where their resi
dence is, wli doe I T U sare, if they
gain llieir residence in Clatsop, they lose
their land claims in Washington. But
that is a mutter to b looked after by the
Surreijor Central, and not by our Legis
lature. If these men were absent a por
tion of their time, and still regarded Clat
sop as their home, and were willing to
swear to it, they are as much entitled to
vote as is Adnir or any other citizen of the
county. If by thoir oath they place their
land claims beyond their reach, it is their
own look out, and not ours. W Lave
perhaps admitted a stronger cose for Mof
fit than we ought, aa what w saj is only
hearsay. But if such be the faet, Col.
Taylor is clearly entitled lo his seat.
I'j what hook or creok the clique pro
poses to oust Col. Ford, we have not learn
ed ; but we do know, that if Holmes had
chosen to run tho race over again, Ford
would have beaten him something near a
hundred vole.
rVrhnpsCznpkay'spiH peddler. Las told
them that if Holmes asks for his scat it is
proof positive that he is entitled to it, and
tho clique thinks that as Czapkay'a agent
joins in the request, it is still stronger evi
dence of tho justice, of bis claim, and as
the two are united in asking fori!, they
ought to have it of course.
If these two cannot get it they will cer
tainly succeed by gelling Pat Malone to
publish something about these men's wives.
nmhiu Election,
We learn that A. Shuck was elected to
tho Legislature last Monday by tho sover
eigns of Yamhill. When the old "wheel
horse of democracy" gets to Salem, he will
probably help pull Alonzo'a cart out of the
mud.

The U. 8- Mail steamer Columbia ar

bringing date from Now York lo th Oth
of November. Well, Fa'g 4 Co, cup
plied us with file of th latest papers.
Wt giv below all th new of importance.
Ik RltcUoa.
The engrossing new is, of oourse, that
relating to the Presidential contest. There
is no doubt that Buchanan is elected. Tk
various New York pspers giv tsliuiatr
of th probabl vole, which diflr some
what from each other- TL Now li
ma tes that Buchanan would show State
representing 170 votes; Fremeut, 103;
aud Fillmore, 8. The Tribune : Buch
anan, 123; Fremont, 110; Fillmore, 9;
Doubtful, 23. The Times: Buchanan,
150; Frernont,lM; Fillmore, 8 ;Doublful,
18. The Herald says:
Although it ia pretty generally believed
and conceded on all bauds that fiuthanan
i elected, yet the figure received do not
ihow such a result. A far a ascer
tained the electoral vol ar distributed
a follows :
Buchanan, 140
Fremont, 111
Fillmore, 8
leaving Illinois,' Indiana and California
lo make up the total of 200. The retarn
from Illinois and Indiana giv Republican
gains, and induce the belief that those
State hav gone for Fremont, in which
event the decision will ef course depend
upon California ; and should she have de
cided for Fremont and in the opinion of
hi friends such i lb faot then the elec
tion will go to the House of Representa
tive. Nats ta tat Htata llertlois.
We compile the following from the New
York Times :
KbwYork. Fremont' plurality in 37
countie of New York is 35,07'i, and
when all heard from clomp1ete,the plural
ity will likely be swelled to 60,000. The
vole for Mr. King, Republican, for Gov
ernor, is probably 3,500 behind the Fre
mont vote in the city. The country vote
is generally well up on the Slate ticket, and
there is no question about an immense ma
jority for Mr. King and Mr. Belden prob
ably 30,000 to 35,000.
In regard to the returns far the assem
bly the following is the result :
The Democrats elect ia New York City
14 members ; in Erie 4 ; in Albany 4; in
Kings 3 ; in Richmond 1 ; in Suffolk 1 ; to
gether 29 members. The American car
ry in th city 2 members ; in Suffolk 1 ;
and in Ulster 2 together 5 members.
The members, two each for Greene, West
Chester and Rrnssellaer, ia doubt. Leav.
ing '00 members to the Republican party.
Pennsylvania. The total Buchanan
majority over Fremont, with neont thirty
countie to hear from, is 37,4o0. The
majority is expected to increase to over 40,
000. Mainr. The return from Maine indi.
cate a largely increased Republican ma
jority over that in September. From nine
counties, out of fifteen heard from, it is
seen that Fremont ha a mnjoriiy over
Buchanan of 0,077, and over Fillmore of
13,077. The Republican gain, since Sep
tcmher, in 18 towns, was 807.
New IlAMrsitiRR. The returns from
this Stato indiertio a Republican majority,
increased over that nt tho Spring election.
Vermont. Fremont's voto ia much
larger than thnt ef the Republican Gov
ernor last September.
Massachusetts. Tho majority of Fre
mont over Buchanan ia 54,006 ; and of
Fremont ever Fillmore is 75,223. In the
State the Fremont ticket was elected by a
majority of over 13,000. nnry J. Gard
ner was elected Governor. Out of 40
Senators, 39 are known to be Republicans.
290 Republicans nr.d 14 opposition are
elected to the House, with 44 tow ns to
hear from.
Connecticut. Tho returns from all
but thirteen towns show Fremont's majori
ty over Buchanan to bo 6001, and his ma
jority over Fillmore to be 30,058. Con
gros.smcnaro not eloctod in this State till
April next.
New Jersrt. Buchanan majority ovor
Fromont is 0,022. William A. Newell
(opposition) is elected Governor. It is
probable that the Legislature has been
carried by the Democrats, which will give
them choice of a U. S. Senator to succeed
J. R. Thompson.
Delaware. Tho complote returns yet
received show that tbe State has gone for
Buchanan by 1M8 majority.
Maryland. Fillmore' majority ia 8,
002 ; with eight counties te hear from.
Virginia. Few of tbe return have
been received in this State. It goes for
Duchanan. v
Georgia. Ten counties give Buchanan
2,050 maiority showing a Democratic
gain of 1,500. Partial returns indicate
that Buchanan will carry the State by
abviut 15,000 majority.
Alabana. Returns show small Dem
ocratic gains. The city of Mobile gives
150 majority for Fillmore.
Mississippi. Scattering returns how
steady Democratic gains.
North Carolina. This' Slate goe for
Buchanan though tbe return indicate a
decreased vote.
Soctr Carolina. The Legialature
have elected Elector, under instruct
ions to vote for Buchanan.
Louisiana. Th return from the
County Parishes show tady Democratic
pins. The State is doubtful. There
w much fighting in New Orloan at the
polls ud 3,000 registered vote wert net
polled.
Tehneisii. Buchanan will probably
carry this Slate by 0,000 majority.
KENTUCKv.-'-Fillmore'e majoriiy a far
heard from, was 3,512. A despatch
from I'iiuburg report that Kentucky give
5,000 Democratic majoriiy, Thi doe
not accord with lb returns received up lo
thi time; A Inter dispatch, received at
midnight, confirm the report tint Ken
tucky has been carried by a large Demo
uratic majoriiy. No ffguro ar given.
MicuioAN. The Mum from the back
ceuntiec com in more favorable for the
Republican. She claimed 10,000 major,
ily last night. To day they claim 15,000
to 20,000. The Siai Legislature is large
ly Republican, which insure a Republican
United Slut Senator in place of Lowi
Cast. K. S. Bingham, (Rcpub.) i prob
ably the Governor elect of thi Stale.
Four Republican Congressmen were elect
ed, Ohio. We have scarcely a return from
thi Stale. It has undoubtedly gone for
Fremont. The return from Hamilton
county (Cincinnati and 7 towns) show 3,
450 majority for Buchanan, against 3,
285 for Searl (Dem.) in October, a Dem
ocratic gain of 147. The full vote give
Buchanan 11,213, Fremont 7,751, Fill
more, 4,840. Elsewhere the vote does
not essentially differ from thai polled in
October, when the Republican plurality
was 22,109.
Indiana. The southern counties of
Indiana show largely increased Democratic
gain. The Demncrmio State Committee
of Pennsylvania have received a dispatch
from Gov. Wright, of Indiana, placing the
Democratic majority in Indiana at 15,
000. Illinois. In Chicago there is a Re
publican gain of 1,000, (Fremont 130 ma
jority ;) in Lake county, 209; in Winne
bago, 200 ; in Jo Daviess, 150. The re
turns from iheso counties have not reached
us. Cooke county show a Republican
gain of 000. A dispatch from Illinois, re
ceived at Philadelphia, claims tbe Sial6
for Buchanan by 0,000.
Wisconsin. The indications are that
this State has gone for Fremont.
From the N. Y. Tribune of Nov. ith.
The RmulU
The returns received up to the hour of
going to press leave Utile or no doubt thai
the l'residcntinl Election has resulted as
follows :
Fur Fremont! Voter. For Buchanan: Votet.
Maine, 8 New Jersey, 7
New Hampshire, 5 Pennsylvania, 27
Massachusetts, 13 Indiana, 13
Rhode Island, 4 Delaware, 3
Connecticut, 0 Virginia, 15
Vermont, 5 N. Carolina, 10
New York, 35 S. Carolina, 8
Ohio, 23 Georgia, 10
Michigan, 0 Alnbama, 0
Wisconsin! 5 Mississippi, 7
Florida, 3
Total, so far, 110 Texas, 4
Arkansas, 4
For Fillmore. Votes. Kentacky, 12
Maryland, 8 Tennessee, 12
Missouri, 0
Total, so far, 153
Doli'ulul yet t
Louisiana. ; 0 Iowa, 4
Illinois, 11 California, 4
We presume Illinois has gone for Buch
anan and Iowa for Fremmt, but we have
no returns ns yet tomako this absolutely
certain. And, since 149 votes will elect,
and Buchanan has nl ready that number
morally certain for him, it is not necessary
to speculate on the subject.
A Chicago dispatch, dated 8 o'clock last
evening, and from nn intelligent source,
says : " I think Illinois safe for Fremont."
As it gives no figures, however, and our
own returns do not justify our friend's con
clusion, wo lenvo Illinois in the doubtful
list until we hear further.
The Xtxl Congress.
According to present appearances, the
next House of Representatives will prob
ably stand as follows : s
Democrats, 135
Opposition, 99
Democratio probable maj. 36
Thus Buchannn will have a clear work
ing majority in both House of Congress,
ntscctlaacons.
A special dispatch, dated Washington,
November 5th, to the New York Times,
says :
A dispatch received by Secretary Guth
rie announces that Kentucky has certainly
gone for Buchanan.
A dispatch from Senator Bell says that
Tennessee has gone for Fillmore by aev.
eral thousand. This opinion is scouted by
the knowing ones.
There is much excitement here to-night
on the subject of the election. Tha Dem
ocrats are very uneasy lest it should go to
the House. Fillmore's and Republicans
unite in hoping that it will.
The Buchnniers openly declare now that
if Buchanan is not elected, Fillmore's
name shall not go before the House at all,
and thus the South Americans will be com
pelled to choose between Buchanan and
Fremont, .
The Washington correspondent of the
New York Herald, writing on the 29:h
Oct-, says:
The last official despatches received from
England, make no mention of a new min
ister to this government, and an impression
prevails here that none will be sent until
the inauguration of the new President.
J.N. Bonaparte, Esq., hat been warmly
received here by the French Minister.
To-day he paid hi respect to the Presi
dent. The same correspondent, writing on the
30th Oct, says:
Jerome Bonaparte, of Baltimore, cousin
to th prrr-eot Emjt ror ef France, ha been
topping at Willrd for several day. It
it understood her that he I pressing ome
proposition upon Secretary Iavi, by
which he withe tiflicirnl inducement lo
be held out lo hi (Bonparte's) on to In.
duce him to re enUrlhe American Army.
Th Secretary of the Interior lo-day
reversed the ruling of Judge Minot, late
Commissioner of I'en.'mu, making a dis
crimination between (he volunteer and
regular service. The (Secretary decide
that I he soldier in either kind of service
aro equally eniitled to bounty IbikI. This
decision will remove thetUKpension from a
great Lumber of claim for bounty land,
now pending in the office, under the act of
1855. ,
There i a good deal of speculation here
at present at lo tho formation of Buch
anan't Cabinet. It is like counting chick,
ens before they are hatched. Gen. Tho. J.
Rusk, or Texas, l spoken of by those stun,
posed lo be in the confidence of Mr. Buch
anan, is certain to bo hi Postmaster
General.
lite New York Herald correspondence of
Oct. 2 Ut, says:
The new Minister from Guatemala, A.
J. Yrisarri, is here, stopping at Willnrd's.
IIu is transacting and negotiating important
business with our government, which has
remained unsettled fur some time.
Our government is a pood denl cxer
ciscd at the present critical position of
Mexico ; and if England nnd Spain per
tist in their interference our government
may bo compelled to take some action.
The Mexican Minister nUo, I understand,
manifests roiind'-rnble uneasiness nt the
unsettled condition of things by last ar
rival. The number of land warrants issued un
der the act of March, 1855, during Oclo.
her were 5,842, covering moro than 742,
000 acres. The total number of applica
tions mid up 200,200, and tho warrants
issued 179,513, to satisfy which V1.5U1,.
250 acres are necessary.
The amount subject lo draft in the
Treasury it upwards of 524,000.000 ; of
which there is at New York $12,750,1)00 ;
at Philadelphia 98,000,000 . at San Fran
cisco 82,750,000 ; at Boston 83,000,000;
and nt Charlotte, North Carolinn, 81,750,-000-
All tho Cabinet officers are now in
Washington.
The unusually large number of resig
nations of army officers is in consequence,
as alleged, of th inadequacy of their sal
ary for their support. The War Depart
ment constantly recoiving them.
First Eahtern Snow Storm or the
Season. The first snow torm of the sea
snn has occurred. It visited Philadelphia,
Baltimore and Washington, on tha South,
and extended westward as far as Oswego,
where snow fell to the depth of one foot.
In New York tho air was very raw nnd
generally unpleasant, but no enow foil.
Anothr Duel in I!ich.mon. A duel
has come off n mile from Richmond, be
tween R. A. Pryor and Dr. O. B. Finney,
Slate Senator for Accomac. Dr. Finney
was badly wounded the ball of hia antag
onist hating entered his right hip. The
difficulty is said to have originated about
the account ef a discussion at Accomac, be
tween the Doctor and a person of the nnme
of Curl is, published in the correspondence
of The Enquirer, which atated Finney ai
temptcd lo reply, but did not speak five
minutes defore he quit the stand. Finney
denounced Pryor as a rascal, and thnt he
would post him ns a coward for publishing
the account. Pryer met him near the ex
change, aud on the language above given
being repeated bo struck Finney in the face.
Therefore a cl'-a'.b ng was passed, aud a
meeting took place as above stated,
A Wise Governor. Gov. Wiso has
came out with a letter, in which ho says
in effect that it is nobody's business what
took liim to Raleigh, N. C, some day
since. The contemplated convention of
Southern Governors was a, ridiculous flash
in tho pan.
Latest from Kansas.
A despatch from Chicago informs us that
the free State prisoners at Lecompton, Kan
sas, have published an address, in which
they state that they are confined jn a loath
some prison, with two cannons in front of it,
under a guard of raw militia, and that they
are unable to procure medical assistance,
or sufficient food and clothing. A free
State man, named Bowles, from Missouri,
had died since his imprisonment, ond it
was feared that several others would not
survive, unless immediately relieved. The
address is signed by eighty-one persons.
St. Locis, Nov. 3, 1950.
Advices from Kansas to the 28th ult. state
that a Convention to nominate a candidate
for delegate to Congress met nt Big Springs
on that day. Nearly all the districts in
the Territory were represented, and the con
vention was presided over by Judge Schuy
ler. On the first ballot Gov. Rceder re
ceived 108, and Mr. Carroll 71 votes.
Reedcrwas then unanimously nominated.
The Convention appointed a committee,
who reported that the election be held, by
circulating a protest against Whitfield's elec
tion, and recommending Reeder to be the
choice of the People of Kansas. A can
vassing committee of five was appointed,
and resolutions were passed endorsing tho
political course of Mr. Reeder, nnd ex
pressing a determination to continue zeal
ously and actively to sustain freedom in
Kansas. Another resolution, censuring
Gov. Reedar was indefinitely postponed.
The prisoners are on trial at Lecomp
ton. Geary is still in the southern part of
the Territory, making arrests.
