Elections for Members OF the General Assembly
and for Members ofCongrcss, were held IN this State
during the first three days of last week. Though
our exact returns are not so numerous as We cxpcc-
ted they would be by tlis tirne-many gentlemen on
whom we thought we might dep end. for information
designed for He Pubijc, Notwithstanding the rcign OF
terror IN the Post Office Department, having disap -
pointed ns-yet we have enough To show that the
Jackson party IN this State is completely defeated
routed horse, foot and thrown new
or to rise again. unless il be, as before, under a new
organization, with n new party name. ...'lukxot and
REFORM has become, even now, almost as nnrratclul
to the ear as the sound Of the words Refer nnd .Nctr
Curt, and the time is at hand when we shall only
hear of"Jackson dad Reform, - as we hear the h.yi
ing OF the hungry w~Olvcs-flr off n the hills and
swumps.
la the Congressional election. it is true. we hnvo
not much To boast of. The truth Is, the Jackson par.
" had secured an on. flowing majority in CONGRESS-
which this state, even it unanimous, could not cianre.
The people exhibited much apathy upon this part of
the election. In some districts no OPPOSITE ION was
made, in others personal and sectional predictions
prevailed over party principles. and no union O. a
party could he effected. In the Mercer distric,.
however, the friends OF the late administration, and
OF Mr.. Clay, have enjoyed q signal and remarkable
triumpli not by clecting any man OF their own vnr-
~, but by seeing the facE-soG p1rty. the instructed ot
