Missouri Election THE elections in this
State turned upon the re election Of the Hon
Darid Barton to the Senate of the u. Siatce:
ofcoarse the whole strength Of the jackson
Party was brought out M opposition TO those
Senators and Representatives. WHO were ia
sourahle. 20 sIr II 5 re election Returns
have been received from only one county st

II viii be seen, from the above, that Mr
BATES has been elected 20 the Senate by a
majority Of more than five hundred votes,
and that the whole Barton ticket has sue
ceedcd by large majority. The Missouri
Republican says:
-S@Ihe important influence which the el-c-
ton in st. Loais County win have upon the
pelitics'o of the State, has been we'll understood
by the jackson party, ard their exertions
have bern great, but without eject. The
people have no communion Of interests with
the present Jackson party.at least, in this
! County"
We think the result Of ths election in this
county .augurs unfavorably for the jackson
cause throughout the State When we re-
collect that St. Louis is the residrace Of Sc
major Benton, and may, on that account, he
regarded as strong hoiu for Jacksoajsm, We
cannot but regard the success OF the Baf.o'a
i ticket rs a triumph.
