eignty eupporter of Mr. Linooln. , For the re*

Bythe Anglo Saxon which-, arrived at Qaebeo

We have advices from Paraguay, to September
1, but they, oontain no important news. Every

custom-house receipts at Asuncion for the month
of July show a difference of $109,421 in favor of

Railroad and other public works were being carried
on vigorously. It was expeeted that the United

Files of Haytien papers to .the 13th utt. have

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*

much doing in ceffee^.
Wo hare details uf Utah news to Oct. 12. 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.

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.

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. The prooosaion went down Chestnnt as far
as the Continental Hold, wbon they were again as
sailed by a party standing upon tho pavement. The
exoitemont was intense Tho streets were absolutely
impassable. From side to sldo dense meases
mon wedged in tbo whole avonua fiQm Third to
Tonth streets. A hundrod sorimtpaflea were pro
gressing at one tlmo, and tho enthusiasm of the
Republicans know no bounds. News arrived at a
late hour in the evening that Alderman William
MoMullen, of the Fourth ward, who wont to New
York yesterday, had been shot in the left shoul
dor. This was received with shouts of delight
from his political opponents. After diligent in
quiry, wo learned that n despatch had been re
ceived from New York to the effeot that he had
boon shot whilo walking ia the Tenth ward, about
eix o elocit last evening, but woro unable to learn
whether suoh was really tho oose.
Aho stroots, after mid-night, woro recouant with
musio. In every direotion the olubs wero march
ing, and tbe mon seemed wild with sucoofs Wo
mado inquiries of several olubs as to the disposi
tion of their organization. Ihoy 'deolared their
intention to keep together and drill persistently
until the inauguration of Mr. Linooln is consum
mated. They will go to Washington from this
oity to tho number of 3 00(L Tbe scenes in the
streets at this Iste hour we cannot farther describe.
Tbo night wa3 not one of sleep. 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. Patties in need of do
meatios, &0., can be directed at this office of the
whereabouts of suoh parties.

man, but not succeeding, they marohed their prl,-.
Boner rS to the Twentieth-ward sUtion-hoase,

Pine streets, between a party of mon and boys.
John Toner, aged sixteen years, residing in that
vicinity, was stabbed in tbe left breast with a
knife in the hands of a boy aged about fifteen.
Tho wound penetrated ono of his lungs, and pro
duced a wound which will doubtless cause his
death. The unfortunate boy was removed to the
Pennsylvania Hospital, and at a late bear last eve
ning no hopes were entertained of his recovery.
William Mealy, aged twenty-four years, was
stabbed in tbo left arm and on his back, by David
