It ap pears that Abraham Lincoln; of Illinois, has been chosen President, and Hannibal Hamlin, of Maine, Vice President of the United States. The States .that will cast their electoral votes for Mr. Lincoln,, are ,Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York', Now Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan, lowa, Wisconsin, Minnesota, giving him 178 electoral votes. Tho number re quired to eleot is 152. Delaware and North Ca rolina are claimed as oertain for John 0. Breck inridge; Virginia and Maryland will vote for John Bell, while the other States will he divi ded between Messrs. Douglas, Beil, and Breck inridge. In relation to the minor details of tho canvass.the advices ate meagre. Anson Burlin game and Eli Thayer have been defeated in Massachusetts, as.’ candidates for re-election to Hr. Burlingame was a Republican of strict* creed. Mr.’Thayer was a popular, sover eignty eupporter of Mr. Linooln. , For the re* turns as far as received we refer tho reader to thetelegraphlo column. Bythe Anglo Saxon which-, arrived at Qaebeo yesterday, we have later news from Europe. Aus tria.was yery busy in increasing her defenoes on the line ef tho Po. She evidently fears an att&ok from Garibaldi, and is on the vigilantly defensive.' An armj of 60,000 troops were along the frontier. There is nothing farther of importance from the transatlantic countries. WehaveUteThewsfromNew Mexico by the mall which arrived at Independence, Missouri. ' The dates are to tho 221 nit. The Indians were trouble, some., Col. Canby had an engagement with theNava joss on the 2d alt. The Indians are sorely pressed on all sides by United States troops, and a decisive action may be soon expected. Business at Santa Fe was dull, flour being very scarce and selling at $lO per sack. The weather was cold on the plains We have advices from Paraguay, to September 1, but they, oontain no important news. Every thing was quiet and the country prospering. The custom-house receipts at Asuncion for the month of July show a difference of $109,421 in favor of exports, and In August the difference was $147,344 Railroad and other public works were being carried on vigorously. It was expeeted that the United States would offer their friendly mediation to put an end to the difficulty, between Paraguay and England. , Madame La Grange, tho vooallst, left Montevideo for Europe on the 30th of August Files of Haytien papers to .the 13th utt. have becnteoelved, but they ate unusually destitute of news. The priests all over Hayti wen preaohlng the otoervanee of the Sabbath, and the people ap peared disposed to follow their precepts o The country was quiet, and the Government oooupied with purely local afiairs. Rio Janeiro papers to September 25 have been received. The ooudoot of certain parlies in Fa* quaremho, Urusguay, towards some Brazilians was likely to widen the breach already existing between ihe countries, and may probably hasten tho thxeatenodwar. The Marquis of Monteleagre, one of the most distinguished men in the empire, diodin San Paulo on the 18th of September, in the sixty-fourth year pf his age.

Judge Kinney had arrived from the East, and was warm ly welcomed by the Mormons, with whonfho is a great-favorite. The Mormon Conference com menced on Saturday, the 6th, and was in session two days and a half. During its progress Brigham Young, Heber O. Kimball, and Orson Hyde made speeohes, indicative of the present Mormon feel ing in regard' to the people of the States and to tho army, from whloh we infer that it is not a very amicable one. It was indicated at this Conference that ihe hand cart system of emigration is to be given up. Young intends, in the spring, to send ox'te&miwith the missionaries to the States, which will re turn in the fall laden with merchandise and emigrants. The esah tithiag paid into the Mormon Churoh for the years 1858-0, and to Oct. 1, 1860, amounted to $14,552 00, of which amount about $4,500 was raisea in Salt Lake City. It is the de clared intention of Brigham Young to recommence the building of the Temple next spring. Literary and Historical Accuracy. G F.OEQE Augustus Sara, an English man of letters, author of many boohs, and contribu tor tt) the Cornkill Magazine —in opposition to which he announces a new magazine, to bo called Temple Bar— contributes a weekly co lumn of gossip and criticism, under the head of “ Literature and Art,” to the Illustrated London Mews. In the number of this paper dated October 20th, Mr. Sana notices the re cont death of Resibbanlt Pbalk, and confess es his “ scant acquaintance—almost amount ing to ignorance—of the works of Mr. Reh- BnaKDr Peale.” Perhaps so j but many of Mr. Feale’s works are to be seen in some of the best private picture-galleries of England, where they are highly appreciated. Mr. Sana then proceeds to philosophize upon the remarkable fact that “in the qnlet Quaker City, an American artist has died at the patri archai age of eighty-three !” We beg to in form him that Thomas Sunny, in the same quiet city, is now in his seventy-eighth year, and is still one of the best portrait-painters, not In America alone, but in the world. Cer tainly no diving artist equals him in painting tho portraits of women. Mr. Sala then bursts into a paroxysm of speculation. “ Why,” he exclaims, <‘ Peace, as a juvenile artist, might have taken the portrait of Geohoe Washington.” Might, Mr. Sala 7 Why, he did. What is more, it is a matter of opinion whether he or Gilbert Stuaet took the best portrait of the Father of his Country. , Not content with this notable exhibition of ignorance respecting an American artist of high rapute, Mr. Sana proceeds to blander about people nearer home. He adds: “ And thus it is ever that th e pretent shake hands with the past, and the hawthorn blossom, blown by the spring breeses from the hedge, Is wafted away with the dead leaf of last antnmn. When the Luke of York was in America he fonnd thoie Volney, tho historian of ‘ The Rnins of Empires. 1 Yolneyit seems a hundred years ago since he died ; and yet next private .view-day —and wo hope for mony private view-days at the Royal Academy or the Water-color Society—we shall be able to point out a spruoe,.trlm, active old gentleman, and say to tome ourious friend. ‘ Yon dor goes the man wbo has seen Volney. ana was at Hew York when the fathor of Queen viotoria cans to see the alienated heritage of his family. ..That man la Join Singleton Ooploy, Lord Lyndbutat.’ ” The quasi-poetry of the first sentence ex hibits its author’s •predilection for «fine writing,” which, as every one knows, is very hard -reading. But it happens that the Duke of York—Mrs. Manx Ann Clakke’s profligate Duke ef York—never was in America. He in 1793 and again in 1799, each time in comTßS9li»of an English army, and on both occasions WMNtgundiy “whipped” by the French. If tho Dnko of York ever saw Tommy, it certainly Was not in America. Who, then, did nee Volney thero ? “ Hhe father of Qneen Viotobu.” Yes, but that gentleman was not the Duke of York, but the Luke of Kent I There is some slight excuse for an English author and journalist having « entire igno rance of Rembrahdi Peace, bnt it is amusing, if not surprising, to find him blundering about the parentage of his Sovereign Lady, the Queen, and confounding the Duke oi York, tier uncle, with the Duke of Kent, her father. y ,x , : . How and Then. Yesterday thero was stuck up at all the polls of‘this . city/ by order of Mr. Buchanan’s office-holders, a largo placard, at tho head of which, in large -letters, “ Biware of John W. Forney /’’Tho effect of this war of Mr. Bu ohaxaji’s .Administration upon John W. Fob bed and all other Democrats who opposed his tmaion to the party, may be soon In the result oi the, election yesterday. Four years ago'-the name of Jon* W. FoehEv, as chair man of.the Exeeutivo Committee, was every where-emblazoned onthebannors of tho party as ifS jChoßen leader, and tlio effect was seen in theelection of. that year. Then, the Demo cratic party polled seventy thousand more votes thaq,,the,. Republican ; now, It polls. seventy thousand less. The principle of Popular Sovo reigntjrWa* then. Its platform; now, a slave codefortthe Territories is Its doctrine. Let the past teach Democrats to beware of all trai f on to their principles. The Eesult of the Presidential Straggle. A united, prosperous, and powerful peoplo yesterday discharged the great duty of elect ing a citizen to preside over,their destinies for four years from the fourth of March, 1861. No other peoplo on the habitable globe are clothed with this supremo prerogative. On no portion of God’s footstool are tho blessings of just government so bounteously extended, and so successfully enjoyed. A l’roo ballot, a free press, free speech, and free schools} tole ration iu religion, equality in rights, and im partiality in tho execution of tho laws; the road to the highoßt offices opened to the hum blest citizen—these are tho agencies, those the elements, these- the advantages that havo built up on this continent an empire, and havo rendered the American name the symbol of order and of liberty wherover tho English language is spoken. The very act itself of peacefully ohoosing one of the many millions that are scattered over many lati tudes —some on the slopes of the Alleghe nies—some amid' the ridges of the Hooky Mountains—some on the shores of the tran quil Pacific —some where the Atlantic pours its eternal flood—some under a Southern and some under a Northern sun—who is to dis charge tho duties of their Chief Magistrate, is at once a type of the majesty of the republi can experiment, and an assurance of tho irre sistible strength of the Republic. Vainwil bo the efforts of the factionists to tear down this heretofore indestructible fabric in tho face of such a decree as this. The verdict of yesterday was a verdict for perpetual union. It was a prayer and a pledge that this free system of onrs shall endure for ever ; and as God is our judge, wo do not be lieve that any citizen thus elevated to tho Pre sidency would dare to do injustice even to one, much less to many of those who partici pated in the imposing ceremony of pronounc ing their choice between the several candi dates presented yesterday for that high office. That A hi’.aham I.incoi-N, of Illinois, and Hannibai. Hamlin, of Maine, havo been : elected to the two highest offices in the gift of the American people, there Is now no doubt. The one a native of Kentucky, Ihe other of Mew England, and both, at present, residents of the free States, they are indebted for their election to the votes of the non-slaveholding section ot onr country. Much has been justly said against a merely geographical party. Pa triots and heroes have alike protested against >t, and more than one conscientions statesman has indulged the gravest apprehensions over the probable success of Lincoln and Hamlin. But these citizens have been constitutionally chosen, and it onght to be said, in justice to them, that if their peculiar tenets are odious to the Southern people, they have la bored strennonsly, through various instru mentalities, to convince these people that they intend to do them no outrage. In the Convention which nominated them dele gates from slaveholding States were presont, and many others would have been there had not the Southern community generally set its face against the Republicans. May not the very fact that Mr. Lincoln has been chosen by the free States alone make him anxious to admi nister the Government in a spirit of concilia tion and justice ? It would be a noble mission if a man traduced as the foe of our Southern brethren should devote himself to the Chris tian task of assnagiDg their prejndices, and disappointing their apprehensions. At all events, let ns hope lor tho best. Let the incoming Administration have a fair trial. If the new President shall do wrong, tho laws will punish him, and if animated by the fell pnfposes which have been attributed to him, he shall make war upon any, even upon the smallest State, or essay to withhold or deny a single right to the humblest citizen, the same masses that have pnt him where ho is .will letter his hands and consign him to an infamous oblivion. We know nothing of Mr. Lincoln’s quali ties beyond that which has been written and spoken of him ty his organs and friends, and from this wo- are free to estimate him as an upright and patriotic citizen. Much would be expected of him, even if ho passed into the Presidential chair in tranquil times, but now that certain men are threatening to break up the foundations of the public peace, there will he demanded from him every attribute of states manship—groat prudence, great courage, and a fervent and constant patriotism. He will have time to reflect profoundly upon his mission— time to reject the counsels of extreme men— time to weigh in the balance of his judgment tho complaints of tho sensitive South—timo to measure his own capacity to meet his pew emergencies. Ho should, first ol all, review and respect tho prejndices ol those who livo in tho slave States. They aro bis follow countrymen—bound, in tho tios of blood and interest, to tho millions of tho froo States. Many of their complaints arise from their peculiar condition, from their minority rela tions to the rest of tho Union, and from events with which Mr. Lincoln has had no sympathy, and over which ho has had no control. If ho bears himself wisely in bis grave office, he will not only rivet them more firmly to the Union, but he will, at the same time, pnt into outer darkness tho evil spirits of both sections who for years have been sowing the seeds of fanaticism and dissension among a happy population. Apart from these considerations, other re flections are appropriate to the present occa sion. May wo not hope that out of this straggle wo shall be able to rescue such legis lation as will confer lastiDg protection upon tho interests of Pennsylvania and the Middle States ? This has boen the primary object upon which tho delegates of the Peoplo’s or Repub lican organization oi Pennsylvania went to Chicago and compelled such a recognition of tho necessity of legislation In favor of our great staples os added much to the enthusiasm for Lincoln —particularly as it was endorsed by those who suppprted him. There will, we think, be a fair prospect of securing all that we havo asked for at the hands of Congress, and this will be rendered almost certain if the new Administration shall act np to the temper of tho tariff part of the Republican platform. ETob will the South itself complain, because what we shall propose will taka nothing from tho South j and if we may judge'from the indica tions at the last long session of Congress, there will bo Ijttle disposition on tho part of any of the Southern leaders to object to a reasonable measure ot protection. Let Mr. Lincoln reciprocate ail the amica ble feelings of conservative Southern men. He is solemnly committed against ail attempts to interfere with slavery in the District of Co lumbia, and we believe he will do his utmost *o enforce the execution of the fngitive-slavo law. Now that the election is over, should we not gladly anticipate that in proportion as he will baffle the designs of the Disnnionists in the slave Stales, so will he make up his mind to set his face like a rock against the mere anti-slavery humanitarians of the North? Ho may not be a Fillmobe, but he CAT. bo a Jaoksox. Ho may not originate a splendid international policy, hut ho can copy from those master patriots who have preceded him. As to his views on the Territorial question, general expectation, the peace of tho country, and the tranquillity of tho slave Stites, will irre sistibly carry him to the platform, of non-inter vention. However Congress may feol in refe rence to other things, one thing is sure, it will be found arrayed against intervention tor the prohibition or protection of slavery in the Ter ritories. He may appoint tb.a Governor, Judges, and other Territorial officers irom his own po litical household, but when tho question that concerns tho people of tho Territories comes to bo adjusted, inexorable circumstances will compel him to leave it to them, and to them alone. Mr. Lincoln does not go into tho Presi dential chair as tho chief of tho Republican organization. Ho ceases to be a partisan tho moment he becomes the Executive, and if he needed instruction and admonition against pursuing a sectional or selfish course, he will find it in the volume which preserves for pos terity the follies, the treacheries, and tho cor ruptions'of his immediate predecessor. In tho selection of his Cabinet Mr. Lincoln will realize hisfirst and most delicate responsibility. Wo have no right even to adviso, much less to dictate to him, but ho cannot fail to see that he is not indebted for his position to the more strength of the Republican organization, hut to tho break-up in tho Democratic party; and he should make it his study to surround himself by such advisers as will at oneo convince tho country that ho intends to administer tho Government economically and wisely, and after the best models of the Union-loving patriots who have gone before him. The Presidential Contest. With the close of the pells yesterday the Presidential canvass of 1860 terminated, un less (os has happened on but two previous oc casions since tho formation of the Constitu tion) no one candidate secured a majority of tho electoral votes. Many of our citizens will naturally r ijoioo at tho conclusion of tho pro longed excitement inoidont to our great quadrennial political struggles, whether their favorite nominees have been successful or not, because they will thus bo relieved from all tho fatigues and annoyanoos of tho campaign—have no more contributions to make to electioneer ing funds—no more processions to march in— no more meetings, where threadbare topics are discussed, to attend—and no more excited arguments with their political adversaries —until some now contest shall arise in tho future. As tho curtain falls, after the closo of a soul-stirring play which had aroused all tho sympathies ’ot the au dience, it admonishes them that the exciting scenos which had engrossed thoir attention have boon terminated, and calls thorn back to the sober realities of thoir daily life; and thus when tbo ballot-box renders its authoritative verdict, onr citizons aro reminded that tor the time thoir activo political labors aro concluded, and all who aro not thorough partisans quietly resume their usual pursuits. The contest has been one of a peculiar cha racter. So well is tho political position of tho whole country defined, and so extensive are tho existing telegraphic connections, that onr readers will bo surprised and disappoint ed if we cannot inform them through tho des patches we publish this morning—or certainly those wo shall obtain by to-morrow morning— of the practical result of an election in whieh 6,000,000 votes havo probably been polled, by the people of onr widely-extended Confedera cy. If we had not become so thoroughly ac customed to tho enjoyment of the advantages of a rapid dissemination of intelligence as to be almost unconscious of the immenso su periority of our existing facilities, wo should regard such a feat as ono of the most difficult tasks that could possibly bo assigned to human genins. If tho hopes and expectations of the Re publicans of tiio country and the fears of their adversaries slionld bo realized in the election of Abraham Lincoln, there is reason to apprehend that the disunion threats, with which some portions of tho South have re sounded for many months past, will not prove to haVo been altogether idle menaces. Any serious attempt at secession, however, simply because a President has been constitutionally elected, will clearly be so illegal and unjustifi able an act that it is difficult to understand how tho people of any State, who fully con sider the subject, can be Induced to solemnly assume such a revolutionary position. Bnt that agitators will make strenuous attempts to mislead tho people Ot tho South is but too pro bable. How far they will be successful, the fu ture alone can determine. Wo havo passed safe ly through so many exciting political strug gles, the whole nation has heretofore acqui escod bo peaceably in tho verdicts of its bal lot-boxes, and the prosperity of all sections and ail important interests has been so much enhanced by our existing Government, that it will be the strangest event of history if for any “ light and transient cause” it is de stroyed. Tho following resolutions adopted at a meet ing of the friends of tho Union in Norfolk, Yn., on Tuesday, October 30, which was called to consider the Secession resolutions which had boen offered a few days previously by Gov. Wise, at a meeting in Princess Anno county, aro so sensible an 4 patriotic that wo fervently trust the Bplrit they breathe may animate a largo majority of the people of all sections, South ns well as N orth, no matter who may bo our next President: 1. That wo regard tho Constitution of the United States, whatever may bo its imporfeotions, as the best safeguard of liberty and human right ever yet divined by human wisdom; and that, in view of tho good it has scoured, as well as tho evil it has avortod, wo prefer it to any other form of govern ment hitherto adopted or suggested among man kind. 2. That wo regard tho Union of tflo Statca, uu der that Constitution, not only as tho best means to our continued prosperity, but sb necessary to the best hopes of the world, and look upon dis union os tho greatest evil that can befall us, save dishonor. 3. That no one section of tho United Btateß moro then another has tho right to name and to oleot any oitizon to tho Preatdonoy. nod that it ie the duty of all parts of tbo Union to acknowledge and givo dne obedienco to the Government, under aDy President who moy bo constitutionally elected, so tong as the Constitution and laws shall be faith fully kopt end exeouted ■l. That it is unreasonable to regard the eleva tion of any oitizon to tho Presidency, who shall bo oleotod by a constitutional majority of tho people, aB an aot of nggrecsion, or from whloh, of itself wo may infer designs hostile to our rights and liberties. 5. That we have sufficient confidonco in the peo ple of the United States, in their lovo of Union, and reverence for tho laws, to believe tbat they will, upon all just ocoaeions, oppose and resist any clear violation of tho Constitution, whether at tempted in wantonness or under tho forms of law. But we hold that, fo anticipate and assume suoh violation, under oxistieg oixcum&tancos, is at once unwise and unjust, and wo shall regard the appoint ment of “Minuto Mon” and “Committees of Safety,” as contemplated in ono of tho resolutions adopted by a portion of the peoplo of tho oounty of Princess Anne, on tho 17th instant, as the exer cise of authority unknown to the laws of tho State of Virginia, and of an irritating and revolutionary oharaotcr. 6. That we have seen nothing to justify any dis trust in the constituted authorities of tho State that they will not, in due time, and in a proper manner, vindicate tbo laws and maintain the dig nity of the Commonwealth. Tho resolutions woro then adopted, a single voloo dissenting. The Straight Douglas Electoral Ticket. By the returns from tho different wards of our city, as well as from other portions of tho State, it will be seen that the Straight Douglas Electoral Ticket has received quite a large number of votes, notwithstanding its formal withdrawal by the committee which originally appointed it. No pains whatever wero taken to circulate it. On the contrary, vigilant ef forts wero made to suppress it, and it was only because we supposed that a lew of our citizens wished to vote in strict accordance with their convictions that we announced that those who wore anxious to procure a puro Douglas ticket could do so at this office. It is now evident that if it had been regularly kept in tho field it would havo received tho support of an immense number of tho Democrats ol tho State, as many thousands of tho friends of Dou.olas have voted for the Reading ticket because they could not procure tho straight ticket, and becauso tho Douglas com mittee had taken tho position that the Read ing electors were in honor bound to sup port Judge Douolas, and nobody else. The friends of Bbeokineidoe, in this and other States, however, cannot lay tho flatter ing unction to their souls that any con siderable portion of those who voted tho Reading ticket aro supporters of • the Secession cause, becauso it contained at least ten men who announced in advance that under no circumstances would they vote for Beeokinbidoe ; and, besides, oven those who had originally agreed to the fusion programme wero officially absolved from all allegiance to Bbeokineidoe by tho withdrawal of Chairman Welsh’s plan to mislead tho Democracy of Pennsylvania. Strictly speaking, there was not a vote cast for a Secession tickot at all in this State, because there was no ticket in the field which was committed to tho support of tho Disunion candidates, or which their friends dared to publicly proclaim favorable to tlioir infamous causo. Tho fact, however, that a number of tho men on tho Reading tickot had originally suffered themselves to bo seduced into an acquiescence with the Welsh proposi tions created such a feeling of distrust and in dignation against it that it has been defeated by a majority unparalleled in tho annals of Pennsylvania polities.

Tho Presidential Election in Phila delphia. SCENES DURING THE DAY. The Polls, the Newspaper Ofliccg, &c. The mornlog of tho oleotion was inaugurated by tho monotonous tolling of tho State-house boil. Tho individual in tho ancient steeple, whoso busi ness it is to proolaim to tho inhabitants of tbo land that, in accordance with the provisions of tho Constitution, they might asscmblo at tho several drinking establishments, and deposit, through re* eoptaolos in windows, ballots for ono of tho four candidates propounded for the Chief Magistracy of tho United States, oontinued his extremely dis~ agreeable labor through the ontiro day. The deep and incessant tolling of the old bell was respon sible for innumerable headaches and general dis gust. A moro doloful melody wo have sel dom hoard. It Is to bo hoped, for the re poso of all sohsitive minds, that a custom so of fensive! will be discontinued hereafter. If all Philadelphia clustered beneath tho shadow of the State House, tho monotony of the bellman’s pro clamation might be exoused on tho ground of utili ty, but since at* most only a fow thousands wore thus reminded of thoir duty to the country, wo think tho oustom will bo “ moro honored in lh° breach than in the observance.” THE PARTISAN NEWSPAPERS. Tho readers of tho partisan newspapers were not surprised on the reoeipt of their budgets of intoili' genco to find, under flaming bends, appeals to (< voto oarly and without fail.” In the language of ordinary parlanco, tho interpretation of those appeals wa a to ‘‘vote early and vote often,” (and to keep on voting uutil thoir candidate was elected.) Wo were reminded, in one stroet, that tho Union was in peril—that ono day for one’s country was not to be misapplied, and that the final hour for the strug gle of free institutions with tho “ oligarchy” was to ha consummated. The probabilities aro that few voters were infiuonood by suoh appeals, for the groat mnß3 of tho people long ago mado up thoir minds how their ballots should bo deposited Thoro was, in foot, a gonoral apathy relative to tho affairs of tho day. The divided Democracy and tho pluoky supporters of the 8011-Evorotfc con ceded the State to tho Republicans; and votod ns a matter of more formality. The Lincoln mon pa raded an omnibus through tho principal streets during tho day, in which a brftßS band discoursed “ Dixey’s Land,” and tho other familiar tunes, to tho admiration of thoir friends, and the great de jection of tho remaining parties A noviso would suppose that tho general ill humor of tho Union and Domooratic voters would ropult in innumera ble riots throughout tho day. Such, however, was not tho onso. Seldom in tho history of the city hnvo sooDes of groater quietude bcon witnessed. Beyond a fow potty soriminngeD betwoon ino briated froemen, tho decorum of tho people was strangoly at vcrlanoe with tho ordinary ruf fianism at tho polls. Wo made a circuit, during tho day, of the Fourth, Sovcath, Fifteenth, and Nineteenth wards, and failed to remark a single oobo of brawling or brutality. The several electoral tickets woro placarded at the windows of procioot bouses, and at some of them we noticed a futile announcement that “A bogus electoral tioket was to be oirculatod by tho paid hirelings of the editor of The Press” and that the said hirelings would be mon prominently known in the Demo cratic party. THU BTRAIGUT DEMOCRATIC ELECTORAL TICKET. Tho ticket thus gratuitously advertised, how ever, met with a groat demand during tho day. Orders were received at tho oounter of The Press for more than sixty thousand of them, wMoh were distributed in this city and in various points of tho State. This ticket had lately bcon withdrawn by the Douglas Executive Committee, yet tho frrquent oalls for it from many prominent pemoorats, yearly indicated that a large portion of the Demcoraoy of Pennsylvania were strenuously opposed to fusion with any other element, and that they were determined to show their appreciation of too ser vices of the gallant Senator from Illinois by votitg the bona fide Dooiocratio electoral ticket. A RIDE UPON A RAIL Early in the evening the orowds upon Chestnut street were oonvutsed with laughter at the sppour anoe of a yellow boy, supposed to be an Etbiop, whoso heed,wns closely shaven and shining with oil He was mounted upon a rail, dressed in fan tastic costume, and borne upon the shoulders of two of tho unwashed. The lad boro great reaem* blanco to a frightened Barbary apo. The street be* hind him was thronged with shouting spectators, and testimonials of reapeet in the shapeof potatoes and mud were liberally showered upon him. The affair was intended to caricature the Republican party, and on passing tho headquarters of a Wide- Awake club a rush was made for the pole; the boy was upset, the carriers pummelled, and a quietus put upon the proceedings. Tnß INTEREST IN THE NEW YORK ELECTION was very great. A rumor prevailed early in the morning that a number of illegal voters had gone to Now York oity to assist in the success of the fusion ticket in that city. Wo made inquiries during the day relative to the matter, and found it greatly ex aggerated. The parties referred to had not left the oity up to a lato hour In tbo afternoon, although it was true that many “ knuoks,” and otherwise slip pery oharaoters had gone over to Gotham, accom panied by two of the Philadelphia deteotivo police men. Betting was frequent during the day, two to one being offerod on New York for Lincoln evenly, and square beta that his majority would bo at from twonty thousand to fifty tbonsand. Private de spatches passed over the wires to merchants, etc , in this oity, and every itom of intelligence seemed winged. ** SCENE AT THE PEOPLE’S HEADQUARTERS. At the People s State Committee Booms, Sixth and Chestnut streets, arrangements had been made on a liberal scale for the announcement of returns Tickets were issued for admission to the rooms, and a cumber of leading politicians assembled thoro at an early hour. A stand, covered with crimson cloth, and lighted, altar-like, with two tall tapers, was fitted up without the balcony win dow, and an obese gentleman, of great compass of lung, dodged ever and anon within and without, to read to the swolterlng, screaming million below, the messages a a they came in by telegraph. As the returns were mainly of one character, tho cheers were incessant. Hoarseness was the ele ment, and from deep growling shouts, the screams of the gratified and the joyous subsided to shrill screams, indicative of hollowness and very bad colds. As eaoh victorious fctate rolled over tho wires, a flag bearing the name of eaoh was run over the centre of the street. It took but a few hours to adduce a number of these. They pre sented tho attitude.of a string of “bobs,” and stood ridiculously out against the great banner of stars and stripy which has borne sinoe October the motto of “ Viotory.” State after State thus answored. Simon Draper sent sevoral personal messages. The processions of Republicans from the several wards went by with shrieks of delight, which drowned the mnsio'of drums. Small parties ot inebriated Wide-Awakes began to sing that classio harmony of — “ We’re all Wide Awake—we’re all Wide Awake.” Cheers went up for every conceivable man. Good humor lulcd the hour, for all gratification is selfish; and thourohins whose throats oraoked with the ropoliiion of ‘ one, two, three, Wide Awake, Wide-Awake,” did not think of their silent and dejected political enemies, who threaded the crowds in tho street with quivering lips and melancholy eyes. “ LEFT TOR THE WHITE HOUSE.” A banner, with this motto, was borne by the Re publicans of the Fourth ward. It represented a log, in whioh two wedges were driven, drifting down a stream. The rider, f apposed to be Mr. Lincoln, was pot visible. He bad departed, as abovo. As this banner, sustained by fifteen men, passed Fifth and Chestnut streets, the Douglas men poured down the stairs leading to their head* quarters and charged on the canvas. In the snaoo of a few seconds tho Linoolnltes wore over powered, the transparency was torn to shreds, and about a dozen of their number wore in caro of the polico. A CRACKED BELL, SHROUDED IN CRAPE, was brought out at eleven o'olock, and tolled in a potutunt tone along Chestnut street. A transpa rency was borne in front, stattog that such sym bolized the “ 801 l that tolled the defeat of Repub licanism where Ever-ett goes ” This was one of the few processions that inarched with impunity. It was flanked by about a thousand roughs, who itched for a brawl. Some one in tbe throng fired a pistol in the air at Ninth street, which caused an immediate panio and scattering. THE ROOMS OP THE REPUBLICAN CLUB, at Scvonth and Chestnut streets, were besieged at an early hour. George I. Riche anceunoed the returns from the platform within the room, and a gentleman duplicated them to the immense crowd outside Fireworks went up from this corner repeatedly during the evening. A general feeling of satis faction pervaded nil attendant and when the re turns from New York State rendered Lincoln’s election oertain, the enthusiurm was boundless Wo bavo noyer witnessed, upon orr side st least, moro intenso and tremendous eleotion demonstra tions. We eaw in the surging masses, ready for any mischievous undertaking, a dare-devil spirit, whioh not all the nu liflcatlon of tho minority can resist. To oppose the election of Mr- Lincoln would have been last night a dangerous experi ment. SCENE AT THE CONTINENTAL HOTEL. The pavement of (his hotel was also filled with pooplo. The saloons, billiard room, etc , were moro animated than we usually find them. The Southerners were obiefly interested in their own States. Bullotins were printed and fixed on a desk outside the room of the telegraph operator. We saw no evidences of treason or secession in any di rection. THE NEWSPAPER OFFICES. Tho c-ffioes of the Evening Journal and Penn sylvatiian wero crowded with a silent and dis comfited party daring the evening. The North American was tho scene of exoitiog events. Early In the night, when the returns from New York indicated Lincoln’s sucoess, tbe letters of flame, “ Viotory,” were ligbtod, and the Cam paign Club, with Sheriff Kern at the head, marohod up Third street with a brass band, and serenaded tho Republican orators who crowded the room. Club after club of Wide-awakes marohed by, and oaoh club sent up tremendous cbeers. Speeches wero made by E. Ooy Morris, Judge Kelley, J. P. Verree, Morton MoMiohael, and Sheriff Kern. The Press office was orowded during the entire night. THE CENTRAL POLICE STATION was in the hands of the eurious. A party of poli ticians and reporters had a table in the operating room. The enormous gains for Linooln over Curtin in ail tho wards were reoeived with gratified si lonoo, and at ten o’olook Doteotive Officers Leman, Levy, and Ellis returned from New York etty, having in charge “ Scotty” and Thaokering, two “knuoks,” who went to that city from this early in tho morniDg By tho same train, we understand, wont two noted aldermon—one from the Fourth and ono from tho Seootid ward—a late defeated candidate for tho Legislature, and about a do2eu knuoks” of more or less note. The respectable parties, of course, had no oonneotion with the cri minals, although somo of the former stopped at the house of “Paddy” WHohestern,intba Sixth ward, New York. “ Scotty” and Thackering were re leased. Tho rumor oame in aboat the same time that Alderman MoMullen had been shot in New York oily. A DESPATCH PROM GOVERNOR WM. H. SSWiRD Was reoeivod in the city at ten o’olook, statiog that, from appearances, the State would give 60,000 majority for Lincoln. The despatoh was read si multaneously in many quarters of Ihe oity, and oroated great exoltement. SCENES AT TIIE BELL-ETERETT AND SRXCKINRIDGS HEADQUARTERS. At Tenth and Chestnut streets, on the opposite corners of whioh are located the headquarters of the Breckinridge and Bell-Everett men, there was but a eoanty attendance. In the early part of tho evening the rooms of the former looked rather cheerless. A fow men were stationed on the stair way debating upon the vain hope of New York casting her electoral vote for the Fu sion Ticket As despatoh ' after despatch was reoeivod, however, and the predicted majority of fifty thousand dwindled down to nearly half that amount, their last forlorn hope vanished, and the rooms presented a desolate and desertod ap pearance, strongly oontr&sting with the joyous shouts of their opponents, and the brilliant illumi nations at the Republio&n headquarters. The Bell-Everett headquarters wasorewded du ring the entire evening by men and boys—the lat ter to the number of several hundrod oooapylng tho speaker’s stand. Ono of the javeniles endea vored to make a speech, and encouraged his hear ers fb look for glorious results in the South, on ac count of the rumored triumph of Bell and Everett in Virginia. About eleven o’clock in the evening, a largo crowd colleoted in front of the building, and the confusion was increased by the arrival of deler Rations of Republicans from the Thirteenth and Twentieth wards, bearing torches and banners, and accompanied by adrum and fife. Several of the party appeared to be vory much intoxicated. The Bell men rushed down the stairway, and the Brock ioridgers also congregated on thecoraer of thestreet. A scene of great confusion now ensued. At this juncture the Eighteenth-ward Republican Club paradod up Chestnut street and mot their brethren. They bore banners, upon wbioh were painted the majorities given for Linooln by the several wardß Cheer after cheor rose up; men were observed to drop their lanterns and olasp eaoh other, though total strangers, around the neck. A great many boys followed In tho woke of each ward, bearing above their heads barrol-staves, long pieces o 7 hoop, and cudgels of every description. Those were waved in a wild manner, unearthly yells were sounded, and the whole affair reminded ns of tbe ancient London mobs, when tho cries of “olubs, clubs,” rose from he apprentices. A collision seemed imminent. The Bellmen upon the side walk hooted and hissed, whereupon the exhilarated Republicans rushed upon them Bumtn&rily and drove them in every direction. The Breckinridge men upoi the opposite corner, holng addicted to similar hoots, tho Republicans tnrned and ohased them up Tonth street As the former were proceeding down Chestnut the Bell mon rallied and succeeded in oaptaring a large lantern repre senting a very lean Mr. Linooln riding into the front door of a very dilapidated White House. Ino Ropublioans triod to recover the lantern, whioh j ®J ,OC6 odod.in doiDg after it was badly batter ed. Tho remains of tho pole and frame were then unceremoniously laid over the heads of the Bell men.

A struggle of many months had beon concluded, and fn the general hilarity all thought of danger to the Con federacy met only with a sneer. The Exodus of Negroes from South Carolina. THE REFUGEES IN PHILADELPHIA, We alluded, some days ago, to the arrival in Philadelphia of a large number of freo colored families from South Carolina. The ioqniries of many readers as to those persons, asd the curiosity of the great mats of citizens relative to their dls-. tresses, have induood us to state the causes which influenced their immigration and (he charsoterof the parties themselves In 1822, it appears, further emancipation in South Carolina- was for bidden. All slaveholders giving up the right-of ow ership thereafter were obliged to resign their “ people ” to the care of trustees, who vouched for their freedom, paid their personal taxes, and made legal disposition of thoir property. Any number of persons ap to twelve might thus be guardians of the emancipated, and a tax receipt, in the free nogro’s possession, was evidence of his disenthral* ment. The panio in £outh Carolina, consequent upon the John Brown raid, the disunion of tbe Democracy, tho elootion of Speaker Pennington, and the Chicago nominations, was marked In the month of August last by stringent legislative en aotments against tbe free people of oolor. Virtu ally, they were to be made slaves. A single man must become their guardian; they were to fee en tered in the assessments as his slaves, and must carry about them certain copper badges, where upon they were numbered. If found without a trustee, they were to be sold at the block; if fail ing to prooure badges of servitude, to undergo a fine of twenty dollars ; and if at any time desti tute of them, to fined or Imprisoned. No secu rity was thus afforded to the free man and woman. If their trustee were avarioioos, he could sell them with impunity, and their property was liable to summary wanton seizure. They were regarded as slaves by tho Jaw, and their fears magnified the existing oppressions ss initiatory to a series of outrages eventuating in their practical thraldom. Despairing, then, of justice Or mercy in the Pal metto State, those of them possessed of sufficient means to remove looked to the North as a refugo. Many wore assisted by conscientious guardians, and’ we have the best authority for the ctatement, that, up to November Ist, more than seven hun dred and ninety persons departed from the port of Charleston alone. It took all tbe resources of some to reach New York. Of the number named, about one hundred and fifty made Philadelphia their destination, and others, who contemplated a more Northern home, havo since removed to this city. We have visited about fifteen families ol these, and tho statements we have made are ga thered exclusively from their testimonies. Of tho ono hundred and fifty mentioned, two thirds arc tradespeople. Tho man are carpenters, tailors, shoemakers, and masons; the females, mantua makers, milliners, laundresses, and nurses We read a long list of certificates from white ladies of Charleston, stating that ono of these was an “ excellent and faithful nurse ” One testimonial was addressed “ to tbe ladies of the North,” and certified that the bearerhsd attended her through a “ long and dangerous sickness”—a faot whioh does not go far to show the gratitude of the recent Palmetto legislation. Another party, boro a certificate of his -profi ciency in plastering from ft master mason of Charleston. A handsome married woman, almost white, exhi- bited her “ badge,” or, as she facetiously termed it, her u putty goole watch.” It was a diamond shaped plate of copper, an inch square, bearing the inscription : “ Charleston. ISSO. Servant. 1213.” This delicate piece of jewelry wa3 punctured with a bole, and suspended thereby from a string. She had given $2 for it. Her husband had & sirni larone, labelled “ Porter,” for which he gaves4. The man and woman had been one day behind hand in “ taking out” these badges, and they were fined $4O for being dilatory. We asked the latter whether it was probable that others would leave Sonth Carolina. She said that most of thoSe possessing the means to emi grate bad alroady done so. We know one of enr colored residents who haa sent, at various times, to these needy people of his race, $BO for p&baage money. Many of the refugees parted with their property at ruinous rates, and many have still some effects in Charleston. The latter class made revelations of thoir difficulties with timidity, fear fal that their property would be jeopardised by undue complaint. We could see, however, that property considerations had little influence com pared to dearer relations. Many of these ebony Evangelines have left in their Southern Arcadia relatives and friends, . for whose safety their fears aro ceaseless. The mother of a yellow girl told us that her daugh ter had a “ young feller in do Soaf whose safety ’peered to weigh liko on her mind,” and as she said this, her son, a tall yonsg man, with glossy looks, was observed to wear an anxious look, as if he, too, had lost somebody In Carolina:' We wore told that one of the refugees had left ait aged mother in Charleston. The old lady, on being so licited to come away with the family, replied that she’had passed a lifetime in “ do Souf, and, please God, she wanted to die dar; nobody wanted to make a slave of de weakly ole ’oman.” The troubles of jhese ebony people will not be appreciated by the white masses. Parties incre dulous of tho sensitiveness of feeling existing among them should visit their humble boarding houses in this city. Many of them are almost white. Several purchased their own freedom some years ago. One woman was directed to leave the State by her trustee, who was fearful that at hie death cortain unprincipled members of bis family would attempt to coerce her into absolute slavery. Tbe refugees took passage in tho New York, steamers through white sponsors, who testified (o their freedom. Most of these unfortunates‘are destitnto of employment.
