 NOrsk CarOEina-The elections in q few counties of this State took place several days nce Governor Speight, tthe incumbent is the Van Buren candidate for Governor, and Gen. Dudley, the Whig. In hthese few counties both parties claim that their candidate received . larger vote than was anticipated though the Van Burenites acknowledge loss of one or two members of the legislature. The remaining parts of the State have now voted and shah probably get the returns in few days.

 Ind;an0.-We have a few scattering returns from this state. They look favorable but are not enough to warrant any opinion as so the general result. B
 Discrepancy.-Th elections in Kentucky have just taken place and t would be really amusing wereit not too fying rthe character Of hcnewspaper pres to read the different statements of the results as they come in. Van Buren paper. instance, hears of a "victory" in one county, and immediately an- nounces it as something great and glorious. Anon, whig paper conses to hand, and contains similar ebuIon of feeling from another county. and perhaps different section of the state; and both hail the;r victory as the harbinger of success throughout the state. We were particularly struck with this fact on opening one of our New-York papers of satnraay- Thus-the Washington Globe, the organ of the powers that be- and the "dandy pes'' successor, in giving letter from Kentucky, heads glorious victory, and the letter says
 "The election is over, and gives us the first victory
 recolect for the last twelve years. At the close ot every Gubernatoral election, the opposition have claimed success. and enjoyed it for several days; put of Fayette. Clarke. Madison, Ganard Shelby, Bour- bon, and Mason, have done for them well as in 2s and 32 except Madison; and this falling off produces the panic among the enemy, and is cheering to our friends" ~ '' t
 In another part of the same N. Y paper is an ex- tract from Kentucky (whig) paper at Louisville, which says +N
 "Vanous rurnors have reached us from the neigh. boring counties in regard to the Gubernatoria and Le gisative elections They are of the most cheering Messs Clark and Wekiifs viii in ali probability as. tonish the Whigs themselves. Our opponents win long ae the fatuity, which induced them to nominate a candidate for the office of Governor"
 And these reports continue to fill our ears for sev- eral days, and sometimes weeks, until we get wearied of the very sound At this dstanee tis next impos sbe to get at the true result of the western elections until some test arises to shew the strength.
