The Election Returns —The election of Buéhanan and Breckinridge being now a con- ceded fact on all hands, we shall only publish uncfiicial details of the result in the diferent States which are regarded by more ox less persons as d-ubtfu!, or from which no degisive ve.urrs hive previously reached us. Thus we bave, to-day, news from FLORIDA. : From whence we have scattering returns, showing tha: Buchanan has carried the State by an imereased m»jority over that of his party in the election of last October. PENNSYLVANIA In 47 counties Buchanan’s majority over the Fusion ticket is 29,552. This includes Brad- ford, Tioga, Alexander, and Crawford, whero the Fusion ticket gains somewhat. It is hardly possible that our plurality in the whole State will prove to be less than the figere mentioned above. Our actual majority ever beth tickets will go over 8,000. NEW JERSEY. Buobanan’s plurality over Fillrore in New Jersey (with two counties to hear from) is 14,827 ; Fillmore over Fremont 460. Newell's (Fusion) majority for Governor is 2,184. The Legistature is Democratic, thus recuring for the Democrats the successor of Senator Thompson to be elected next winter. ALABAMA. . Ou: friends in Montgomery are in the belief that Buchanan's majority im Alabama will reach 19,000, MISSOURI. Our advices psr telegraph to-day from St. Louis lead to Be conclusion that Buchanam’s majority in Miesouri reaches 10,000. ViIPGINIA, Accomac 67 majority for Buchanan, Nortb- ampton 74 gain for Buchanan; Princess Anne 39 do.; Matthews 23 do. ; Jeffercon 272 do. ; Loudon 204 do.

If true, this will give them the State beyond peradventure. Per sontra.—Y esterday, Judge Douglas, sent dispateb from Springfield, dated twenty-four hours later than the Suz's dispatch men tioned above, claiming confidently that Bu- cbhanan had carried the State by 5,000 ma- jority, and that the Democrats had elected five of the nine members of Congress, and a majority of the Legislatureof [illinois Sach is the history of the dispatch from him, which caused eo much excitement here last night Similer information (to that communicated by Judge D .) reached Washing‘on yesterday sfternoun from Chicago, also 24 hours iater than the Sun s disratch THE GRAND RESULT In our table of yesterday we set down Bu- ebaran’s column of States ascertained to have one for him us embracing 152 electora! votes Reday we add to it the votes of Florida and Texas making it foot up 159, or ten more than enough to secure his triumph. Up to 12m to-day we heve nothing from Iowa later than Hcp. Chas. Mason s remored despatch (of yes- terday) confirming that of Senator Jones (sent off on the day before) which set down the State ashaving gove for buchanan We, however, regard the resuit there as being doubtful Will the South take Heed t—On the morn. ing alter the election, the New York Hurning Post said: “If we have not carried the United States, we have obtained heavy majorities in a part of the Union which stands bigh in the confederacy for intelligence and prosperity, and which, through these characteristics, exercises a pow- erfol influence on public opinion, we have at Jeast laid the basis of a formidable and well- organized party in opposition to the spread of slavery—that scheme which is the scandal of the country and of the age. In those States of the Union which have now given such larze majorities for Fremont, public opinion, which till Jately bas been undecided and whiffling in regerd to the slavery question, is now clear, fized and resolute. If we look back to 1848. when we conducted a Presidential election on this ground of cppposition to the extension of tlavery woe shall see that we have made im- mense strides towards the ascendancy which, if there be any grounds to hope for the per- petuity cf free institutions, is yet to be ours. We were then comparstively weak—we are now sirorg; we then counted our thousand, we now count our millions; we could then yoint toour respectable minorities in a few Stater, we now point to State after State—to powerful old States on the Atlantic, and flour- ehing young States in the West—which rally witb us under the banner of resistance to the extenaion of slavery. The cause is not going beck—it is rapidly going forward ; the freesoil party of 1548 is the nucleus of the Republican perty of 1856; but with what accessions cf numbers, of streng:b, of illustrious names, of moral power, of influence, not merely in pub- lie assemblies, but at o domestic —— “If not stromg enough to triumph now, it is ph here- growing up to win s glorious afer. vigor and health of youth in its constitution, H| of its power Three Dayz at Howe,” is spiritedly told, ana | This youthfal cause; and with all the | it isableto besr hardship. The present hard- ) ships will knit its frame more firmly and give it strength.’ se i There is too much truth in what the Post \ says of the progress of its party et least, and its | present power, for the South to go to sleep over | the result of the recent election. The snakeis {| but scoteched—not killed. It is not even ‘| stunned. The great battie for the Constitu- tion and Government as originally made, has | yet to be fought—their enemy having been }, worsted only on Tuesdey last, not placed hors || dw combat. Indeed, in the mere exhibition in this election it has gained a strength which, to our mind, renders it cer- tain that the only defence of the South against j it for the futare, is to be sought in much closer Southern combination, 2 firmer tone, more in- exorable jealousy, and a more determined front where the slavery question is concerned than she (the South) has yet exhibited. If the South wavers now, she is gone past re- demption. Her trust is in herself, and in her- | self only. She must, with all the means at her command, guard her rights under the gov- ernment and her coequality in it. Those whom Providence helps must first help then selves to the extent of their ability. The recent victory of the Democracy may be cither a substantial victory for the true readings of the Constitution and the continu, ance of the Union or the reverse, just as the South wills ; for four years is but an hour as it were in the life-time of a nation. Unless the South demonstrates in all she does in con- nection with public affairs in the next four years that she will defend her rights at all times, under ali circumstances, and at every concei' le hazard, at the end of that time Abolitionism will have broken down the ram- parts thatin the recent election checked its progress in the northern States of Penneylva-: nis, New Jersey, Indiana and California only. The belief that Fremont had been a Roman Catholic, and intense hatred of the Catholic church in the face of the constitutional guar- antee upon the subject, alone prevented a combination of three-fourths of the Fillmore vote of those States upon Fremont. The Union hhas escaped the danger involved in the clec- tion of an Abolitionist to the Presidency to carry out an avowed ultra abolition policy, only by a combination of lucky chances and good political management throughout the campaign an the part of the Democrats. The devotion of Pennsylvania to Mr. Buch- anan has been one of the chief e!ements oper- atang to stave off the crisis. But the South, if she be wise, will not trust her cause to the te:2ure of any man’s personal popularity, or to his life. Mr. Buchanan will doubtless fulfil to the letter all his obligations under his let- ter of acceptance of the Cincinnati nomina- tion, and should he not survive through his four years, Mr. Breckinridge will, in bis stead, do likewise. But the safety of the Sot th for the future under this Government is not in the power of the Presidency or the dis position of its occupant. It lies in satisfying the property holding and business interests of the North that she is not only able but de- terminied, come what will, to vindicate her rights, in or out of the Union as may be best for her. More Than He &»~ gained For.—The Rey Orville Yewey, whe not long since preached regularly: in the Unitarian church in this city, some wasks ago delivered an ‘Elm tree’’ ration somewhere in Yankee lund, wherein to the surprise of his friends in South Caro- lina, he gave utterance to more or less of the usual sboiition slang and slanders upon the Souti1, 2ow deemed necessary to be resorted to when any man ambitious of Northern (so- called? christien favor essays to tickle the self-lo\re of the dear people in that quarter. His ora tion, or at least the abolition portion of it, has b een replied to by some one of his for- mer Sous ‘hern friends, in a very powerful let- ter, whic b we find in the Northern papers. We regret’ that its great length prevents us from trans.ferring it to the Staw’s columns; for, as a controversial production, it is one of the ablest th at has yet seen the light in this country upon dhe slavery question. It handles Dr. Dewey’s «lassie rhetoric without mercy, aud can hardly’ feil to make his ears tingle. For, bating the New England kink in him, which leads him. constitutionally to be a fa- natic upon the slavery yuestion, he is a gen- tleman of elegant and extensive attainments, and, withel, a high-toned man. Our impres- sicn is that the castization it bestows upon him. so richly deserved and scientifically ar- plied, will cure the Rev. Doctor of af] future propensity to lower himself to the prevailing New England tastes of the hour. Disinterested —The New York Times and Herald have already set out to advise Mr. Buchanan how to administer the Government, whom to call into his Cabinst, and all that sort of thing. This is just as it should be; insomuch as it embraces a fair illustration of the school of politicians to which those jour- nals belong. They both advise him against what they are pleased ta designate as the ul- traists of the South--those to whom he owes quite ss much as to any others for his election to the Presidency—those whose views upon the slavery question are s0 emplatically set forth in the platform of the Cincinnati Convention. It strikes us that al! the newspapers of the Times and Herald school (whose name is le- gion) may save themselves any further trou ble in connection with that particular subject H matter; as it is more than likely that Mr, | Buchanen, in view of the late canvass, will hardly ask their counsel as to the best course for him to pursue in the construction of his administration.

It baving been discovered that six valuable landscapes by the old masters, had been etolen from the picture gallery of the Earl of Suffolk, in London, on one of the days, as is supposed, that the gallery is gene:- ally opened to the public, great exertions are being made to recover the pictures, and it being considered probable that the thief would endeavor to dispose of them in this country, instructions were sent to the British Consuls at the Atlantic ports to be on the lookout for the pictures, particular descriptions of which were given ItissaidthatMr.G.P R James, H B. M. Consul at Norfolk, communicated the fact to the United States goverment, asking their aid, and that Secretary Guthrie has, in consequence, sent orders to the various Custom House officers to submit all pictures landed at their ports to a close examination, with a view to the discovery of the stolen property. POLITICAL ITEMS. The New York Daily State Register, George Law’s particular organ, died since Tuesday last The American Democrat, a Baltimore K. N. aper, has collapsed since the election, and ae been merged in the Clipper. There have been elected, so far, in seventeen States, 63 Democrats and 87 Opposition to the next Congress This is a gain of about 60 Democratic members. The Hon Thomas Butler King, of Georgia, late Collector of San Francisco, and a former Whig member of Congress, was on the stump for Buchanan in the late contest. S P. Chase, Governor of Ohio, has a real- izing sense of the demerits of his party. In his proclamation for thanksgiving he hnmbly confesses unworthiness of the inestimable ber- efits of liberty guarded by law and detended by Union At the opening of the polls for the Second Ward of Boston, on Tuesday last. two hundred negroes are said to have been in attendance around them, each ambitious to ke first to get in his vote. Burlingame’s plurality, it will be remembered, was but 70. Mayor Wood’s friends are crying out for the removal of U.S. District Attorney John McKeon, on account of his alleged violent and extravagant opposition to Wood's re-elect on. This has been a cat and dog slush slinging contest, co far as Wood and his opponents are concerned. No one out of New York took interest in it. THANKSGIVING.—Misrissippi, Kentucky and Michigan are now a¢ded to the States in which the 20th of November will be observed as thankegiving. iG The postmaster of Plattsburg, Mo , was arrested last week and held to bail in the sum of $4,000, for opening a letter and communi- cating its contents x The original Sabbath in England, in See 950, sessed on Saturday at 3 | p- m., and lasted till daybreak on Monday. | fa the reign of James [., 1606, a fine of one | shilling was imposed by act of parliament on | every person absent from church on Sunday.

Ben Peruey Poors on ram war 70 Bostox Wits teat Barret or Appies.—Major Ben Perley Pooro, the American candidate for Congress in the Sixth District, has actually started to wheel a barrel of apples from New- buryport to Boston, in accordance with the terms of a bet made with Col Burbank The bet was that Fillmore would get more votes in this State than Fremont, the loser to wheel a barrel of apples to the winner. It wae made shortly after the nomination of the lat- ter. We understand that Colonel Burbank wrote to Major Poore yesterday morning, tully releasing him from the conditions of his bet. but the Major seems determined to carry out his obligation He may be expected in Bos- ton in the course of a week, if he continues to make as good progress as he had yesterday, at the date of our dispatch —Bost. Jour, 5th. Later —A correspondent of the Boston Traveller has fallen in with the Major, en route,—and thus describes the interview : Sours Daxvers, Nov. 5. En route from Newburyport for this place, and when about twelve miles distant from Newburyport on the turnpike road, my atten- tion was uttracted te a man some distance in advance, who was harnessed toa wheelbarrow, avd was diligently climbing the steep hill which rose before him. When I obtained a nearer view of the strange team, you may imagine my surprise to discover that it was my friend Major Ben Perley Poore. He was in fine spirits, and was fulfilling the conditions of his bet with Col. Burbank of Boston. As I tried the weight cf the load on the wheelbar- row, the Major exclaimed, ‘+ You may wheel tbat barrel of apples back in that direction as far as ipa ora but not one inch in the ad- vance.’ As I indulged in some feelings of merriment atthe novelty of his position, he said, ‘‘Mr P. this may be fun for you, but there is more reality than poetry in it for me.’”” Stitt Larger !—A telegraphic despatch, via Newburyport, announces that Mr. Poore is making rapid headway. When last heard from he had made seven and a half miles. | etree STREET BAPTIST CHURCH —There will be preaching at this place, on SABBATH MORNING, at IL o’clock, and atnight. Kev 8. P.
