The News. @n the first page we sive the retarne, as far as meeeived, of the S ate elections which took place yesterday. In Pennsylvania they are decidedly fa- worable to the democracy. The Buchananites have earried the State by a majority suflictent for all practical purposes. From Obio the returns are near. 3y all in favor of the republicans. We have nothing from either indiana hr South Carolina, In the e! n tor municipal officers at Newark, WB. J., yesterday, the democratic ticket was saccess ww. We have already aunounced that Gen. Whittield had been elected delegate te Congrest from Kansas Waritory by the pro-slavery party. His election ‘was unarimous, os by a preamble ond resolation, which were adopted by the citizens of Lawrence, it aqppears the fiee state party regarded the election ew 28 invalid and of no effeet, aad they consequent refused to vote. By the arrival of the steamship Persia at this ort yesterday we bave one week's later intellt- gence from Earope. Its details are interesting. A Bussian circular despatch, in which reference is made to the ofiuirs of Napies, had been read to the Brench Minister of Voreign Affairs. The fact hal eaueed oD tion, coupled with the rumor that Basia was to send a fleet to the Bay of Naples. The 7 may or May not be well founded: But as this question will be snbmitted, with other emmipiications, to the consideration of the Pars G@osgress, which is about to reassemble for the or- ganization of the government of the Danubian Prin- epa we hardly think it probable that Rassia Bas decided on such a step. Negotiations for the settlement of the Neufchatel diffienlty will also b @pened at the Paris Congress. / It is stated @at Hnrvlend has addressed rather a peremp * @ery note to the Russian government in relation fo the Isle of Serpents, and that considerable irrita fifon has been created thereby. From Spain there is mo evr: of interest. Ik is not true that the state of oge was to bo ruived on the 10th of Ostober. The project of creating a Colonial Department has been sevived. Some of the English vessels of war de> tned for the demonstration against Naples had ar- wived at Ajaccio, the port of rendezvous. Anstria was making strong efiorts to indace Bugland and Brance to await the result of Baron Hobner’s mie ‘ten.

The Fremont and Fillmore coa- lition, like the first assault of the Allie. upon the Malakoff, has been as signally repulsed. The vantage ground thus far held by Fremont is now held by Mr. Buchanan, and somethiag more than trusting to luck will now be required of the opponents of the alarmed aad aroused de- mocracy. Io this Pennsylvanta fight the democracy labored and struggled as for life and death; and they went to work like regular troopa They were compact and united, while the opposition army was a fusion of diverse elements, without organization, without discipline, without system, and without any definite arrangements for an ac- tive and heafty co-operation. They depended upon their cause, the justice of their canse, and the popularity of their common cause against the democracy, and trasted to Providence, and the result is a striking proof of the old maxim, that Providence helps those who help themselves. We believe that ithe opposition majority against the democracy of 37,000 in 1854, when the fll vote of the State was polled, has not been revolutionized; but that there still exists a large majority against this continuance of the destructive and demoralizing policy of this ad ministration in the old Keystone State. We ap prehend that large as the aggregate vote of this State election may be, it wil! be largely increased in November, and that this increase may be over- whelming on the opposition side. In 1948 Joha- ston, the Taylor candidate for Governor, carried the State by the paltry majority ef some three hundred, and yet it was carried in November by Taylor by a majority of upwardsof 14,000. The quiet, religious people—the well-todo old settlers, who only turn out in our great Presiden- tial battles—may yet prove to be a reserved corps sufficient to *turn the tide with a rash on the great day of November. The Presidential election now becomes intens:- ly interesting. Thus far, al! over the North, Fill- more leaders and managers, in every possible shape and form, have been working and plotting for Buchanan. Now, if they entertain the idea that there is a ghost of a chance for Fillmore, their plan of throwing the election into the Louse by plotting against Fremont, admit of some very material modifications, As far as sy l- vania is concerned, we dare say that every demo- eratic vote was brought out yesterday, and that many thousand opposition vo from bad man agement and had faith among the silly opposition leaders, were Jost or (brown away, which may yet be recovered Ia November. Menacing Aspect of the Kelations Between Great Britain and Mexteo, Our last accounts from Mexico represent that government as in somewhat of a fix. The Bri ush Charge d’ Affairs, Mr. Lettsom, has closed the Legation and retired to Tacnbaya to await the final decision of President Comonfort and his ad- visers in the Tepic affair. The government, in the hope of gaining time, has announced to the British agent that itis about to despatch Gene- ral Almonte to London, with fall powers to ne- -gotiate its settlement, and thus matters stand for the present. Mr. Lettsom will, of course, await further instructions from Lord Clarendon before he finally demands his passports; but there is reason to believe that Almonte’s mission will not alter in any respect the decision already arrived at by the British Cabinet, unless, indeed, he be furnished with instrnetions to concede the in- demnity demanded by Barron, Forbes & Co., the particulars of whose case have already been laid before our readers, Although the claims of thie firm are siated to be the immediate motive for the threatened demonstration against Vera Craz, there is but little doubt, from what tranagir- ed at the recent meeting of the Mexican bond holders in London, that it is intended to have a wider ecope. It is probable that, having resolved upon taking this decided step in the one case Great Britain will not withdraw her syuadror from the Mexican coast until ali the outstanding claims of her subjects qgainst the republic are put in a fair train of settlement. To this we have nothing to object. Thi: coun try, as well as France, bas been compelled to re rort to similar measures to extort from the Panic faith of Mexican ralere the raticfuctioa of obliga tions which could not be wrung from them b any other means. If Mexico claims the privi leges, immunities and consideration of an inde- pendent nationality, ehe cannot he allowed to ehirk its responsibilities. International comity imposes the same duties and obligations upof eovereign States that society doce upon indivi- duals. If they are allowed to participate benefits, they must be content to submis the selves to its moral and leg at she ix weak be atlowed npon the public, and who only shows « of repentance when he is in the gripe of Where there is » will there is a wa one doubts the ability of Mexico, if her : ‘operly managed, to discharge het ju it is no answor to her creditors to were obligations. say that che is hervelf plauudered by corrup* rulers who synander away her resources, Tt i+ the busines of the Moxicaa people to guerd against such mal-administration and if they have neither the patriotism nor tho nerve to do it, their creditors must take care of their own interests. By being subjected to out- side pressure their eyes may be opened to the congequences of their own indifference, and they may be taught the necessity of pradeace, ec my and watchfulaess for the future. Without rome such lesson they cannot expect to maintain their independence; and therefore the taken by Great Britain to enforce the claims of her citizens are to bo regarded in the light of uao- fal correetives to Mexican vices and weaknesses. Whilst going thus far, however, we must not be understood as approving of any procosding on the port of a foreign Power which might b caleulated to trench upon the just righ dignity of another State. Our observations are intended to apply only to cases of wrong doing where no other meana of redress are available. The moment that Great Britain, or any other nation, attempts to overstep this distinction, and to encroach upon the independence or territorial domain of any of the American Siates, we shall be as ready to defi nd their interests as yy are to protect our own. Whilat this conntry oon codes to other Powers the same latitude for ‘hy aseertion of their rights which it claims for it will ever resist the slightest show of int fence with the internal affairs or sovereign prvi leges of any of the nationalities of this conti «+ The foreign governments having claims to on foree against Mexicgo will do well to bea: this truth in mind. stops Tux How. Wu. 8. Sewann fs to speak to-mor- row evening at Poughkeepsie at a great political meeting. Mr. Seward has made but one speech as yet during this canvase, at Detroit: it was re- ported in some of the newspapers, and we gave oar opinion on it at the time, intimating that it was not the speech that might have been expect- ed of Mr. Seward at the present time, Mr. Seward ig a man of a very peculiar intel- lectual calibre. By his admirers in this State, he is praised and esteemed as one of the greatest statesmen of the country; while thoge on the con- trary, who do not admire him asa leader, and who judge his character from his acts, set him down as no higher than a demagogue. In our opinion, the latter view is the more correct. Al) the life of William H. Seward has been an illus ration of demagogueism. Ife first sprung into notice on the strength of the senseless excitement ip reference to anti- . A mano named named Morgan, of Batavia, in a fit ot delirium tre mens consequent upon long continued habits of intemperance, published a book to disclose the secrets of free masoury. Upon this some persons in Batavia calling themselves Masons, aad given to the same habits as Morgan, abducted the poor fellow and carried him off. His disappearance: gave rise to a local excitement which lasted loa enough to give political birth to William H. Seward. His equire, Tharlow Weed, established a paper which he called the Ai-Mfsonic In quirer, attacked the Masons, and succeeded in re- turning several members to the Legislature, one of whom was Mr. Seward. This was the platform from which he sprang. and it is but just to him to say that he appears to have been consistent in his attachment to it Every sectional excitement, every local agitation every momentary feeling has been stimalated by him, and bas counted him among its leaders, His principal support and agitation of late years have been derived from the anti-slavery agitation, which has enabled him to take a very prominent part in national politics But here again we note the peculiar character of the maa, This great controversy in which all the country is en- gaged, is the iiret in which ihe question of anti slavery has entered into the Presidential contest ; has Wm. H. Seward taken in that controversy the position of a great statesman, adhering to the constitution with all its guarantees, and doing justics to the whele country? In our opision he has not. He bas denoanced all the slaveholders. when it is well known that it ie only a small por- tion of tbe slaveholding class, aided by another small portion of non-slaveholders, that havecaus ed the evils of which he complains: and he has entirely concealed the fact—now becoming plaing., every Gay—that the bulk of the slaveholders, and al-o the bulk of the non slaveholding whites ot ihe South, are opposed to the course of the ad ministration in Kansas, and earnestly desirous of a change. Now, if William H. Seward—whose talents are undeniable—wishes to stand before the coustry in the light of a statesman, he mast take higher ground than that which he occupied at Detroit, and argue the question in view of the constita- tion, and at the level of the whole country. b he does this he may poselibly yet stand forth as the leader of the party; for, it must be admitted, notwithstanding the opportunity that has offered, 00 first class man has yet risen to the surface of the Fremont revolution. Wno ane Tan Anorrriosisrs ?—~The Southern reign of terror journalists usually. denounce every one that supports Fremont as an abolition. ist, and every journal that takes that side of the question as an abolitionist organ. This is the absurd idiosyneracy of prejudiced minds. Since we brought Colonel Fremont before the people, and since he has received the nominatioa of seve- ral conventions and popular hodies on the broad ground of no further extension of slavery, the abo- litionists have been reduced to an inconsiderable tection in New England and a few in Western New York. Garrison and his compcers, who oppose the election of Fremont, are the oaly real abolitionista, ‘They declare death and damnation to the consti tntion and the Union, unless slavery, where it now exists under constitutional guarantees, is net immediately and unconditionally abolished. They are the only true obolitionista They are the abolitionists, pure and simple, The great mass of the people of the Northern and Western States view the subject in a purcly statesmantike and practical light. They are perfectly constitu- tional and entirely conservative so far a4 the guaranteed rights of the South are concerned. They will be willing to agree to the compact which authorises the division of Texas into four or five pew slave States, when the population shail be Jarge enough to justify it, or when an equal number of free States I knock at the door of Congress with the same o The Southern terrorists, tl who are P . Bachanan’s de- feat, are foolishly silly in denonncing us as abolitionists. We detest the abvolftionists—we athor the abolitioniste-we oppose the aboli- tioniste—we have put down the abolitionists, ond we abide with tenacity by the constitution of the United States and the Union of the same. Now-Exrexston or Savery ey Free Terarro- ny.—We olwerve that the democratic, or nigger driving candidate for Congress, in the Ponghkeep- sic district of this Stote, supporting Buchanan and the Cincinnati platform, bas come ont with » let ter, in which he declares himself opposed to the extension of skavery over territory now free, and asks for support upon that principle. We believe that thie principle of the non-extension of slave. ry over territory now free, includiag Kansaa, is becoming more and more a common ground whereupon al) parties at the North must meet Neither the republicans, nor the Americans, nor he democrats can make avy political action with_ out a direet acknowledgement of euch a princi. ple before the people of this State, ina more or lees open and decided manner. It ia very evi- dent that in New York, Peunsylvania New Jer- ey and all the Northern and Northwestern States, this some doctrine is a living principle, and all parties must adopt it sooner or later, And this, we believe, is the result of the insane policy of this Pieree administration in baying up Southern votes for the Presidential race by attempting to force slavery Into Kansas at the point of the bayonet. The conduct of the admin- istration hae raised a tremendous excitement all over the country, and has been the means of rousing the anti-slavery feeling at the North and Weet to euch a pitch that all the parties of the day, democrats and Amcricans included, must go with the current. The only possible solution to the present dimi- culty must be the final nequiescence of the South in making Kaneas a ftce State, with the reserved right, according to the trenty with Texas, autho- rizing its division into font or five States in which slavery would exist. This is the only altimate mode of solving the @ifliculty oq it appears in the broad horizon of the future. Alleections| THE LATEST NEWS. and all parties must coneur in this method of settlement, Tue Mayoratry.—Our amiable cotemporaries of the Tribune, ceeing that from the splitting of the opposition into several factions that Mayor Wood is lixely to be re-elected as the best prac- tical man for the post, feel grievously annoyed by the fact, and after squirming about terribly, seek consolation in the embrace of the oyster house democracy and its candidate, the famous ex-Alderman Libby. Now, Alderman Libby’s or- gan, costing him, by his bank book, five thousand dollars, besides the oysters, is very severe upon Mayor Wood, and the philosophers of the Tribune join the Libby philosophers in their severity, and a}l the philosophers mingle their tears together at the eight of the brilliant prospects of Mayor Wood. We manage onr affairs differently from the philosophers of the 7ribune. Our great object is to concentrate support from all quarters upon the man of the age—the representative of civili- zation as opposed to barbarism, and that is to aid byevery method in our power the election of John CO, Fremont. The confusion, the quarrels and the ruptures in other parties and factions are of no consequence to us, further iban we can use them in aid and support of thie great purpose. Mayor Wood has certainly been a more effective officer than apy of bis predecessors; he may not have come up to everybody’s ideal of a model Mayor; but give him another trial. He is oer- tainly better than an untried man, or an old poli- tical hack, who is under the dominion of a clique, like the candidate of the Zribune. Warxer’s Posrrion ry Nicanscua.—The Jast accounts from Central America represent the state of affairs there as unsettled as ever. Mat- ters seem to have arrived at a sort of deadlock, in which all parties seem afraid to move. Walk- er remains inactive in Granada, Rivas is shut up in Leor, and Mora has got into dreadfully bad odor with the Costa Ricans, and cannot get them to move. Central American warfare, like the Chinese, is neither very rapid nor very dan- gerous in its operations. A man may tive through innumerable campaigns, provided the climate and rum do not kill him. It is evident from all this that the physical prestige of the Americans will eventually succeed in overawing their opponents into submission. They seem to have fairly es tablished their footing, and if Walker will only let the church alone, and avoid bringing down the hostility of the clergy upon him, he will gra dually extend his influence over the populations which are said to be so bitterly opposed to him Tue Orera.—The public intercet in the fate of the Opera House seems to increase, and in an- sewer to the suggestion that the great retail ba- zaarson Broadway should do soniething for an institution which puts so much money in their pockets, we have received a subscription which has been previously acknowledged.
