GEN. GREEN: We take great pleasure in ac-
quainting you Of the triumph of jackson and Re-
form in this benighted district, SO long misrepre.
sented by Mr.. Newton. After the sharpest con-
test ever known, the polls closed last evening
and it is true that Mr.. Newton will be the re-
turned member, by Jotu teen votes over Mr. Low
ALL But the seat win be contested upon the law
OF Virginia, relative to certain votes illegally ia
ken in the county, which were only valid in the
borough, and which amount TO more than Mr.. MS
majority. OF this there cannot be a moments
doubt, and the next Congress will have to decide.
whether MIR. Newton or Mr.. Loyal, is our repre-
sentative. " g are satisfied to rest our claims uu-
on that decision.
We hail the triumph with reclamation and ioy.
