1852[Published on Page 4] Sufficient returns of the Elections held yesterday are received, to show that FRANKLIN PIERCE and WM. R. KING are to be the next President and Vice President of the United States. In this City, the Democratic Electoral Ticket has from ten to eleven thousand majority. Louisiana, Pennsylvania and Ohio look in the same direction, although in both the latter States the Whigs seem to have made large gains. The little-known Mr. Pierce’s landslide over Gen. Winfield Scott would signal the death knell for the Whig party, which was increasingly divided over the issue of slavery.
