ven yesterday. Az the first buainess after the organ
izaIiOn, will be choose a Governor, and NJ the,
choice will most unquesiiOnaby Call upon Mr. Foot,
who 10 now at Washington, is probable very little
business will be transacted duving the first week.
VTngiui0 E1ectiOn.-The later returns from the Old
Dominion do not come in quite favorable for the
Wings 40 the first ones. Little dOuht remains, how
ever that there is unfavOrabe change 10 the whole
Legislature from what it was last wnIer. There will
he majority at any rate against returning Nj. Rvea
to the U. S. Senate represent Jackson Van Buren-
ism in thai body, and 10 favor Of the continuance OF
Mr. Leigh. This Of itself much any Of tie

an entire revOlssion in one year, The Richmond En-.

thus sespOndiOgy, The returns were coming in:
