OHIO ELECTION

By the officisl returns Of the elections for
members of Congress in Ohio, which are pub
lished in the Xenia Press, it appears that the
eight members of Congress, who voted for Mr..
Adams, and who were reelected, viz. BARLEY,
Beecher, Vance, Sloane, Vinton, Whittlsey,
M'Lean, and Wright, received 2s.4ss votes,
being about l l 900 more than General Jackson
received for President in the whole State. 1t
also appears that the Administration candi-
dates for Congress in the whole Stale, received
$3.50 votes, being more than three times as
many as Gen. Jackson received at the Presi-
Dental election. The proportion Of votes Civ
en- for the Adminisuatio candidates TO that
given for the Jackson men, is greater than the
proportion of the votes for Adams and Clay,
combined, was to those given for Jackson; SO
i, appears that the friends OF both Adams and
Clay fully supper, the Administration, & that
those people who did not vote at all at the pres
idential election, also generally support it.
