New York, November 10, 1866. 11.30 a.m. The election for Governor and other state officials in this State and for Congressmen came off on the 6th, and was most quietly and orderly conducted. Notwithstanding that this city gave fortyseven thousand majority for the democratic ticket, headed by John T. Hoffman, and the city of Brooklyn, just across the river, gave nine thousand majority for the same ticket, the returns from the rest of the Srate came along showing large Badical gains as compared with the vote of 1864, and the result is that the Eadical candidate for G-overnor, Eeuben E. Fenton, and the whole Eadical State ticket are elected by about twelve thousand majority. Every democratic crndidate for Congress in this City and in Brooklyn is elected by largely increased majorities, but otherwise the Congressional Delegation from this State in the next Congress will stand as it does in the present one. Elections for State officers and Con-gress-men were also held on the 6th inst in New Jersey, Illinois, Massachusetts, Michigan, Kansas, Missouri, Mennesota, and Nevada, in all of which the Eadicals were victorious, carrying everything before them. Elections were also held in Maryland and Delaware on the same day, aud these two States were carried by the democrats by large majorities. The result of these elections gives to the Eadicals an immense, majority in the next Congress. It is a full endorsement also of all the past action of. that body, and if the Eadical leaders live up to what they have been preaching for the last year they will certainly impeach the President, and thus in all likelihood bring on another civil war. It is hoped, however, that as they have full power to do exactly as they please, they will allow their passions and angry feelings against the people of the Southern States to cool, and acting in a statesmanlike and just manner, go earnestly to work to restore the TJnion, so that the country freed from inward dissension and political strife \

and discontent} may rise and gather new strength and energy, and go on and increase in wealth, happiness and prosperity,
