MIssoURI.--Air Hammond, Editor of the Gin
cinnat Gazette, the quondam .ituperator and now
the bosom friend Of Mr. Clay, takes his most anus
ing pencil and sketches the following account OF
the election IN this State:
The election for Congress in Missouri is a
warmly contested one, and has been attended by
some singular circumstances. Three Jackson
candidates took the field, MIR. Lane and Mr. " ellis
and Mr.. Pettis. The contest between their re.
spective friends high. Mr.. Lane and Mr.
Neis, made various efforts to effect compromise.
Mr.. Pettis evaded or declined them all insisn
upon his own superior popularity. At length tn e
jackson corresponding committee for the county
OF ST Louis published an expose, not very accep
table to Mr.. Petts. He published reply in no
temperate mood, and the committee responded with
increased severity declaring, amongst other things
that weighed against MIR. Bates Mr.. Lane Mr..
Pettis was but dust in the balance, and closing
with the declaration that certain statements made
by MIR. Pettis was " TOTALLY VOID OF
TRUTH AND F0UN DAiION." Matters were
in this predicamcn, when Mr.. Senator Benton
presented himself at ST. Louis. He was constit,l-
ted Umpire between the parties, and forthwith de-
cidcd III favor OF the prtensons of Mr.. Pettis who
IS now the Jackson candid ite. Though branded
by his Jackson brethren, but few DAYS before
with the character OF weakness and want OF vera
city, he was suddenly transmitted in an honora-
Die and an intelligent man. by the dictaion Olsen
atoT Benton, and il became their duty TO support
him as such. Under such circumstances should
-'Ifr. Peths, be elected over m Bates, tOe may
rest assured that Missouri goes f0r The Hero
These are circumstances which seem 10 forbid any
hope OF Pctlis's success He has to stem power
tul torrent; and nothing but the strength of his
cause can carry him through.-We deem II highly
improbable, therefore, that he should succe ID; hui
IT he should win the victory we shall hold Nj.
Hammond TO his bond. " We may rest assured
;hat Missourigoes for the Hero" The paragraph
in the N. inteIligencer of the 22d looks rather
squay 6 Our private information is uniavora-
BILE to the reelection Of Mr.. Bates as Represents
tive TO Congress from Missouri. In the vicinity
in which he lives from which returns have reach
ed us, he received majority OF several hundred
votes"
ILLINoIs.- Sufficient returns have not been
received TO pronounce the result The Illinois
Corrector stated, few days before the election
that local politics and personal feelings would
iningle in the contest. Governor Edwards is said
10 have taken an active part i'm opposition To Gen.
Duncan Ghe Jackson candidate.) fhe principal
subjects controverted ia the papers are the public
lands and the location Of Pcntentihry Should
iie be elected in face of this oppo-ion, " we NAV
rest assured that Illinois goes fOT the HerO." May
we not, MIR. Hammond? But Mr. Furuuer may he
elected, ." though the State" is decidedly for Jack
son.--The returns from Is counties allow Duncan
1912 votes, and Forquer 554-Present majority
