The Popular Vote.
t,i
From present in tuft ons Mr. Buchanan
will receive nearly, a majority of the Whole
popular vote of the country, which, with three
prominent candidates in the field, is a great
triumph.
In 1848, Gen, Taylor' lacked 152,931 of a
clear majority, over both of his competitors,
exclusive of the vote of South Carolina, We
think, that Mr. Beehauan's minority cannot be
so great as that. On the other hand, Fre.
mont, if the votes for the ruiion Ticket hoad•
ed by his name in Pennsylvania only are
in—a 7 'minority as
against the united 'vote ~ot 'Buchanan and
Fillmore, even in the nowelace-holding States,
Indeed his votes in these will not much ex
ceed that cast for Mr. Buchanan, and as he
receives no votes in slave-holding States, ho is
in a minority iu the Union of from 750,000 to
1,000,000 votes. Fremont has a clear major
ity only in New England, and probably Mich
igan, - Wisconsin and lowa. In New 'York
and Pennsylvania, each, he is in A- minority
of 100,000 votes. Re carries Ohio by a mi•
nority vote, and .Illinois, we_presurne, if car
ried by him at all, ie carried in the same man
ner, On the contrary every State carried by
Mr. Buchanan he carries by a majority over
All his competitors, except, perhaps, New .Ter.
key, but we think he has also a clear nis.jorit) ,
there.
THE CRY OF FRAUD,
The cote of Philadelphia on the Presiden
tial question settles concyx . sively the lineation
of fraud in October. ,It shows a large increase
in the. Democratic vote, and a falling of on the
part of our opponents- The small v4te east

In Gettysburg their majority has been re

At Bendersville also the Know Nothing
Black Republicans sought to "do better" by a
resort to fisticuffs, The result is a loss of
FOUR. in their majority !
These facts should teach the opposition a
not-to-be-forgotten lesson.
In the other districts of the onunty the elec

He meant nothing more than that they,

Death front the Bite qi a ,kpicier.—A yonng
man named William Haughton, empinyvd is
Wright's dry goodskstore, was taken to Dr.
Freeman's office yesterday in a state of great
suffering, caused by a spider's bite near the
abdomen, received a few hours before. The
case was treated by Dr. Freeman.:—two or
three other physicians were called in during
the afternoon; but as the patient was very
low, and they belong to a different school
from Dr. Freeman, they did not act in the
matter, The sufferings of Mr. H. continued
to increase until late in the afternoon, when
he died, apparently from the effects of the
bite. The case has already excited consider
able attention in tho - •medical profes'ion, and
our physicians, of long practice, state that it
is the only affair of the kind which has ever
come within their knowledge.—Cin. Gaz.,
