"From the foregoing results, Mr. Chambers
will, as calculated last spring at w Washington.
have from II to 1900 ma jority in the districts
and should it reach 1000 shall not be surprised"
The Baltimore Patriot says:
"FRANLIN ana ADAMS have acquitted them
selves noby in the struggle. The collar party
made tremendous effort to Dust Mr.. Cham
bers, who so ably represents this district in the
present Congress; but letters from Chambers
| burg assure us that ne has been elected by up
wards Of 100 majority. The wing ticket Tor

County by handsome majority, probably ooo
| In Adams County, the majority for McSherry
and Stevens, for the Legislature, is from three
to five hundred. Against the election OF the lat

member in the last Legislature, and by lar the
most efficient antagonist of Jacksonsm In that

lature. His defeat would have been calamity
| to the whig cause generally; and we rejoice that
the coalition Of the factions has failed in It's war
fare with that object"
| YoRK.-From York County, which forms
Congressional District by ITSELF and is at pre-
sent represented by c. A. Barnitz, Esq. we
learn that the Jackson men have succeeded by
about 700 majority Col Logan is elected to
Congress, and Snyder, Mcclellan and Brooks,
to the State Legislature This has always been
strong Jackson county, and on some occa-
sions has given more than double the above
majority.
| MoNTGoMERY.-W learn that Montgomery
gives the Jackson candidate Cor Congress ma
| jority of 627, and the legislative Jackson ticket
majority of about two hundred.
| BUcKs.-We learn by slip from the Doylcs-
town Intellgenccr office. and by a private let
ter to friend, that the whole whig ticket has
succeeded in Bucks County, Congressman and
all, by about 300. The present member was
elected as Jackson man. The Wings gain
here, by the election of Mr.. Morris the vote they
lose in the third (Watmough's) district.
NoRrHAMProN.-A friend thus writes to the
United States Gazette from Easton:
"The result Of the election in this district.
Easton, is, for Wagner ST. for Brown ll9,
ma iory 1872; about which the Jackson men are
making great hurrah firing cannons, &c: but
what have they to boast Of? In 1892, Wagner
beat lhre 29S in the same district, when Ihrie
was an avowed and open Jackson man, and
now they beat Brown. an open and avowed an
ti-Jackson man. only 1922 Okin, who was run
in 1892 as anti-Jackson, had not as many votes
in the county as Brown has in this district"

ter Record for an extra, and to the editor of
the Wing for letter, announcing that the whole
whig ticket excepting the sheriff. has succeed
