the 'esnlt Of the late election in this town that they
cannot let the subject resi-; but like a" eel in the mud
though they may wrigge and twist, they cannot extr
cate ihemseves-ali their attempts to explain away
the majority, leaves them in still worse condition.
Not with claiming the vote for first seiecman
unjustly counted against them, they now Hy from
that vain and prOflefs and are attempting to shew
that poor fOrlOrn wings tried break into their
ranks to put down Deacon Pickett-a"d among other
wise things are attempting prove 10 horrible y that
ifWm. Harrison had got votes than the Dea
con, then the said Deacon would lin all probability
have been eIec,ed! They attempt 10 prove il some
thing after this Mr.. Dewey got 222 votes The did
no. however get bot 2O2) -Sedgwick 288. Then Har-
rison got 245, and Picket l90-majorily IS. Now if
Picket could have got 300 votes, the number claimed
for Dewey-and the number Of 80 had been taken from
Harrison and given to Picket-thus reducing Harri-
soos 2l3 and swelling Pickes to 222-in 9th
er words, If Harrison had not got many votes rs
the Deacon by nine, why-why-,he Deacon would
have been elected by majority Of nine! Reader, is
not this capital way Of consoIng ones self tor
defeat, and making out Jackson majority! The next
attempt we expect will he to slew tina, their candidate
Tor 9Th seleciman fairly dealt by-for he re-
ceived only "a votes, and Capt Russell 247-majoriy
l53-whereas, according TO this Sir Jack Fastaf
manner Of computation, the vote had been reversed,
their candidate would have been elected: Bot the
subject savors strongly Of the iincture Of "pond
wa,er'' to be pursued further.
Tpcrria-Aa we anticipated last week, the Union
party in Georgia, claimed the Jackson party, has
succeeded in the late election for Governor, and in
filing the vacancies in the congressional delegation,
tut by diminished majority. Another year, vine"
the name Of jackson be used sustain them,
the Van Buren, party will be oserhrown.
In Ohio the election for Members Of the Legisa-
sure, which was held few days ago, has in some
counties gone amos, y defauIt-'here being very little
contest II is apprehended that, 10 consequence. the
Wan Buren, party may obtain majority in the Legs
iature.
