HIGHLY IMPORTANT VICTORYi
Extraordinary Gain. = The Caucus Defetted
Our election IS over, and we have abundan cause
for rejoicing. We have forever FRUSTRATED the Can
Gus In this city, and have crippled i/throughou
the country, that it will never dar stand another con
test. The GAIN for CLAY and the AMERICAN
system is no less cheering nan extraordinary. In
THE CITY, the PEOPLE S TfCKET carried
EVERY ONE of the Candidates by handsome
majorities. Mr.. Benham, he CLAY Candidate. has
run much nearer his opponent Gen. Findav than
his most sanguine friends had expected We have
not received the full returns from his county nor anv
from Clermont. Gen. Frndlay goes out of this conn
ty with majority of about thousand votes and i,
is confidently expected MIR. Benham's majority in
Clermont VIII not be less than five hundred, probably
six or seven hundred This will give Gen. Findlay
the Jackson Candidate, a majority of about five
hundred votes. AT the last election he succeeded
against the Adams candidate by majority of ONE
THOUSAND SIX HUNDRED AND SIXTY
-FOUR, making LOSS since the last election of
about TWELVE HUNDRED VOTES It is.
however, no less than fair state that MIR Benham
received large number of votes from Jackson men
and was warmly supported by number of liberal
political opponents. 1t is however no less true
that he was vehementy opposed by some of our most
ardent Clay men. He had rendered himself unpop-
uar with large portion of he Clay party by some
expressions made of in his address the electors
and consequently large majority of those who even
voted for him were iukewarm IN their supporl Had
the friends of Mr.. Clay nobly united upon Mr. he
would undoubtedly have been elected We know
personally that many OF our political friends voted for
Gen. Findlay. He IS very old settler here, and
his personal popularity is perhaps greater than any
mans in this Congressional District. The vote for
congressman, therefore, cannot be considered fair
criterion to Judge of the strength of parties here.
But the poll for Governor, may be SAID to be
lar test, and we have trlumphed gloriuu4ly Enough
is ascertained to know that DUNCAN McAR
THUR, the Clay and American System candidate
has ad in hy
MAJORITY. At the last election for Governor
the Jackson candidate had majority tins county
Of FIFTEEN HUNDRED AND SIXTY votes
now the majority is on our side, making a GAIN
of about TWO THOUSAND VOTES General
Macarthur will doubr less be elected Governor by
majority of from TEN to FIF rEEN THOU
SAND. DAN. STONE. ardent friend of Mr.
Clay and the American System; is elected to the Lee
gislature by the HIGHEST vote but one. The eau
Gus party made desperate push against him, and
exerted every nerve to defeat his election He
was violently denounced by the Jackson papers in
this city warm Clay man, and for being one of
the most oficlous individuals in getting Up the Bar
ton dinner. This IS glorious victory! l. proves
that Hamilton county heretofore of the strongest
jackson counties in the State regenerated and has
shaken off PRESCRIPTION" s.VETOES" and
ssINDIAN BILLS" She is true to the tariff and
Internal Improvement. Doubtless there were mauv
liberal Jacksonans who voted for Mr.. Stone but
they are such ia cksonians deprecae the Presi-
dents course towards the Indians and the American
System. ALL the Representatives elected last yea,
were caucus Jacksonians
We have not received full returns but it is believed
enough is ascertaned to know that Mr.. Reese is
the only one of the candidates for the LegIs
lature that is elected. and he was pushed in very
many instances by his friends on the ticket of MI
Stone.
The great contest, and the one that excited the
most interest, lay in the SheriGNS election des
perate effort made against the caucus candidate
and our personal friendship for him makes deeply
regret thai he was so sadly beaten. Mr. EBENEzEH
HULsE is the successful candidate. The vote be-
tween him and Major Oliver is a very close one, and
1T Is generally believed that If the friends of Colonel
Maefarland had not persisted in pushing him when
there was no probability of success, MAJOR Oliver
would have been the Sheriff. WE have DELAYED orr
paper to late hour to give much Of the returns as
possible, and it is probable we shall be able before
our paper goes to press, to give the full returns
of this county.
We publish euoDgh, however, to know that we
nave gained glorious victory. and our ffieude
6road may rest perfectly satisfied that OHIO Is
REDEEMED. She has noby followed in the train
OF LOUISIANA, ILLINOIS, Missouri, KENTUCKY, INDr-
ANA ana MARYLAND, and generous and intelligent
as she Is she will give HENRY CLAY and THE
1AapmEhlChN SYSTEM, d FIRM AND UN-
OHIo.-The returns from his State, as far as they
90 look favorable for he Regeneration of the Sta
and the dlseBthralmeD of the Union: and rive pro
mise that this powerful State will ro,r, ss,, NJ
land, to her first love.
