Recent Elections.

In Pennsylvania the election for State Off
GERS and Members of Congress took place on
Tuesday last. Though the official statement
OF the votes had not been published, The Tr7te
american states Sc Tie Federal Candidates for
Congress, in Philadelphia, are unique, tonaLly
elected. Truxlon and Elliot will be on the
return for Sheriff. The whole Federal Ticket
has succeeded in the city, by great major
ity."
In Delavare the Federal Candidate for
Governor, Col. John Clark, is elected. Mr..
M'Lean, iederalis., and Mr.. hall, a demo-
crat, as members OF Congress The federal-
ISIS SET up four candidates instead Of two to

The tree which put firth its barren limbs, wit on-
" scanty foliage nov presents us on their Iva ri-
ant branches tile richest fruit. The desert too
smiles paradise. AS ii conscious of the happy

They exuit at their new condition. Thus the bios

trophies of triumph over the gloomy severity Of
the winter. The same power when once created
the world is exerted in the new creation of man.
There is the same chaos in the heart, over which
the spirit moves. The same original darkness, in
which light is to be created. The several elements
which were iutermingled in perfect confusion, are
separated aud take their proper place. Thus the
baser passions, the creation, subsidG and The

its present sitGation is the influence of the spirit
continually necessary to the preservation OF the

John Low, jr. and Others against the votes from
the town OF Lyman, and also the memorials of the

ask leave respectfully to REPORT IN PART
That they have examined all the papers and doc

returned
In nearly hall of those returns the question which

perfectly or enormously stated.
very many OF the meetings appear TO have con

several towns certain descriptions of voters appear
TO have been excuded.--in this state of the votes
your Committee feel reluctsuce on the one hand
IN excluding the expressions of the opinions of any
portion OF their tellow-citi1ens, possibly correct
and on the other in admitting any return which
may be the result ofimpositon or fraud
Ii other considerations or views of the subject
can authorize them to dispense with strict or
rigorous scrutiny their inclinations urge them 10
the adoption of such course.
But inasmuch the memorial from John Low
jr. and others, relating TO the improper and unfair
sonduct in the officers and voters Of the town OF
Lyman, was specially referred to your committee,
they were obliged to give it their particular consid-
