henfuckg The Wing victory is confirmed.
The jackson party has been completely routed.
correspondent of the National Intelligencer
from Jefferson (Ky.) says:
"Out Of one hundred me mbers 10 our
house of represent atives, they will not re-
turn, think, more than twenty, if they
exceed fifteen. This election gives US

Jefferson. Built, Oldba m, adjoining
counties hitherto Jackson have to the
great astonishment of the "collar" men,
returned wing members. Henry county,
the residence of Mr. Lecompte, has re-
turned two wings by a large majority. 1t
does indeed seem that Jacksonism is up
rooted and extermin ated in the state.
Those who live to see the next election
OF members to congress from this state
will live to see The ,cnole delegation WINGS.
We consider the triumph complete;
and it would seem that in Indiana, too
the jackson party are signally beaten.

We have given up large share Of this DAY.
Mass and in Philadelphia, and have thereb y
excluded much other matter prepared for our col.
umns.
Lawless violence aud reckless iusurbordinatiou
seem to be contagious. Like the Asiatic plague
they spread from city to city, leaving simila
wrecks and devastation behind them. Tho
scenes which have been acted at New York.
Philadelphia and Charlestown, are disgracefu,
10 the country, and injurious to the character Of
our free institutions. The scoffers against the
liberty which we enjoy, may now point the fin
ger at u.s. and repeat the oft asserted objection to
rational freedom, that it tends 10 licentouspess.

source Of great apprehension for the future

sive. Checked TO day, it may burst out again
hereafter, and on every occasion of public excite.
ment, call for repression and punishment.
The affair at Charlestown was most diabolical
caused by stupid and besotted delusiou. II is
a sad proof that as with the elements, so with
the passions Of men, a small spark may kindle
an overwhelming conhagration-that the small.
lest spark of error, famed by prejudice, may, e.
ven in this enlightened country, be converted in
to the instrument Of wide spread devastation.
Several persons have been arrested unde r
suspicion of having been engaged in the riot al

Fears were entertained yesterday tina
there would be fresh disturbances las
evening. 1t was reported that the Irish la
borers on the Worcester, Lowell and Pro
violence rail roads were on their way &c
the city in numbers, for the purpose o.
aiding their Irish brethren in avenginp
the insult that was offered to them by the
destruction Of the Catholic Seminary Al
Charlestown. II is true, we believe, tina
Sc, eral hundred ofthese laborers arrived
in the city last evening, but we have heard
of no acts Of violence on their part, OIL
from any other quarter. The evening
passed off quietly at least so far as this
city is concerned, although the streets
were thronged until late hour, We
have rarely seen so many people abroad
as there were last evening.
Much credit ir due to Bishop Fenwick
for the exertions he made to dissuade the
Catholics from all acts Of retallatory VIC
lehce. He dispatched FIVE or six priests
IN different directions, during the afternoon
to intercept the laborers who were known
to be on their way to Boston, and to in
struct them not to raise a fingerin defence
OF what they consider their violated rights
