The results of tlicf-reoent elections in the South, North and West, ?how that the great contest in behalf of constitutional right, and Conservatism is to be fought in the border States of the Union. Tho elections in Maine and Vermont have settled the question of Lincoln's 6utcc88 in the New England Stato>, whilst tho demonstrations in the great West have been equally encouraging to the Republican party. Tho result -of tho battle in the Presidential contest is thus made to depend upon the ac'.ion of New York, New Jersey and Penusylvauia, where the great issue is to be met and decided. Accordintr to statement* trivon v? c D "J ?? York Herald, tbo element* of Opposition strength in those States, is largely in tho ascanJeney,Sand by proper concentration could easily elect a fusion ticket. In the Presidential contest of 1850, the Opposition numbered three fifths of the popular voto, and in New York alone, its majority was 45,000 over the Republican voto. The recent elections in the extreme Northern and Western States, where Republicanism is most iu tho ascendant, show that it ha? gained nothing there upon tho voto of 185(5, and thero is reason to believe that tho relative strength of parties has not been materially changed in llie border States, since 1856. Tlio 'iB8ue"-*of the presidential contest depends then upon a Bell, Douglas and Breckinridge union electoral ticket being run to secure tlio Oppoiilion strength in these States. Can the union bo effected? In Pennsylvania a fusion seems to be now 1 !.. :? ~ .... v. uic tjumivu, xne jjougias men have rejected all terms of uuion and have nominated a etiict Douglas ticket. In New York tbe issue is still doubtful. Tbe State Committee of tbe Douglas party in New York met in that cit3- on Friday laBt, and by a vote of *7 to 3 rdecided to reject the terms proposed by the .Breckinridge State Committee for the Un on of ^'c fcjvo parties upon a single electoral ticket. Another proposal was however received from n ?*'? * ? ,?.u..u6t .jjyttm/.<iuuu Known bh the ; "National Volunteers," that the Douglas party adopt on their ticket ten names of prominent merchants of New York, who are known to favor Breckinridge. A sub-committee has been appointed to consider this proposition, and fully authorised to carry it into effct Upon the action of this committee, probably j depends the result in New York, and the issue | of the Presidential contest.

THE STEAMBOAT DISASTER. ^Ttie Jury impanneled at Chicago^to inqftire the causa of the4 recent terrible disaster on Lake Michigan, commenced their labors on Wedpesday. Several persons who were on board the ill-fated steamer were examined, aud their tfttimony tends to thro# the blame for the occurrence, if any, upon the Bchooner Augusta, and the testimony of t(ie two mates of the schooner leads to the same conclusion. The steamer's lights, it seems, were discovered at least ten miuutea before the collision took place which was certainly time sufficient to hav? enabled those on board thb Aiigutta to take every -pre?al>tion against accident. Forty bodies had been recovered up to Wednesday morning, most of them from Milwaukee. Tm Pn/v?? TU ?me paper puoiitnea by o?(, this evening, vilk the above title, will coporaaod general ,jg!$entioD.
