The Philadelphia papers of Thursday give
hl accounts Of the late Elections in that city
The FIRST and third Congressional Districts,
he only question was Fsdsrahist or Democratic
and the Democratic licked succeeded, u. B.
Sutherland for the first District, and Danl. H.
Miller for the third. In the second District,

Of The Administration, each run candidate
IN this district were t,co elections for Congress SIS,
one for a member of the nineteenth Congress
n6ll the vacancy occasioned by the resigna-
ton Of Joseph Hemphill, Esq. and the other
hramember Of the Goth Congress. For the
nineteenth Congress, the candidates were Dir
Eiua Federalist, unpledged as TO the Presi-
DENTAL Election, and Mr.. Horn, Democrat
and ayowed General Jackson man. Mr.. Kite
IA received 1899 votes, and Mr.. Horn 1901
For the 10th Congress, the candidates were
Henry Horn. for Jackson; John Sergeant, for
'ne Administration; and Thomas Kitlera, for
The federalists. Horn and Sergeant received
zach 1897 votes, and Kittera 1891, hence a new
'ec'lon must take place, when no doubt re-
mans that Mr.. Sergeant will succeed by the
anne majority that was given to Kittera over
