The New-Haven Register, and other prints, before the election, Pretended to make the people believe ahaI the Jackson party would go 10 the Connecticut river with least 1000 majority. How s the predic ton fulfilled Lisch6ed county has given 300 major. ri'y the other sCoy, and New-Haveu 4OO-maki0g clear difference (ncludng Hartford aad Faireld) of at least lSOO. You must make better calculations Oe'ghbor JOsey give up your claim to the charac- ter of prophet.
 Lich6eld County, said the New-Haven Register before the election, will give large ,ncjOrity for the Jackson candidates for Congress Look at the fig ures, sir. and you will that have 28O ma Jori'y now 'ha" n the spring. Llch6eId county in the hour of trial and of peril is almost always be found on the side of the constitution, good order, and the laws-and she is now.
 Though old Connecticut has been rem;ss ia duty this fall, and suffered the enemy steal upon and almost deprive Ot portion of in Congress, have the pleasure this day of recording most signal victories achieved n Maryland, Delaware sc. Even tue city of Baltimore, the strong hold of Jacksonism, has thrown of the yoke of vnssaage aad come to the rescue of the country. When the trial for Congressman comes on, the Whigs will be found a' their post battling against the minions of power- The" will Mr. McKn, the slave of party, have leave to peddle his Jacksonism a, home alone.
 The Baltimore Chronicle of the 7,h, in remarking "po" the election, says" Yesterday will ever be re- membered as a glorious epoch in the history of our city. The bone and sinew of our population-,he working men, the source of our prosperity tn peace, and our bulwark in war-he merchant, the patriotic advocate of our Constitution and laws-rallied, one and all, at the polls. They met the enemy, and vc,o. ry perched on our standard. The hickory was plant. ed, but it would take It was not wa.ered by the peoples will Our good city stands redeemed and regeneraed. The o( deluson is past, and it only remains or he wOrshippers of the idol join in one faierna symphony, and sympalhze over disappointed hopes, and the prospect of eeclon from office by the fiat of the peoples will To the Young Whigs of Baltimore are we principally indebted for this triumph Never did witness der or greater exertions lha" they exhibiled-.and they deserve the hearty thanks of,her elders for their nde efforts in the great cause.'
