 Contrary to confident expectations, this state, which only three months ago eecteda Whig Governor by 5000 majority. has fear given her electoral vote to Mir. Van Buren, All the returns are not yet receiv ed but % far they have come in they show tory gain of about 4OOO and about 90OO majority. which apprehend will not be overcome by the counties to be heard from We therefore place her in the ranks with other large states. Pennsylvania. Virginia, &c There not, in consequence of the weather 90 many votes boiled by many thousands either side as at the Au- gust election but the greatest falling of on the whg side. "Oh Rip it seems only walked up from her sumbers to sink back to her characteristic topdity
 is disgraceul to her. and mortifying to the whg par ty, that when she had the power completely in her hands to defeat Mr. Van Burens election, sAe should from sheer inertness have given herself up an easy prey to the "spoilers."
 GEORGIA.
 In Georgia, far the returns look favorable to the Whigs. there having been gain of about enough to balance the majority against them in October. About half the state has been heard from. If there should therefore be any gain in the remaining counties, the ~hig electoral ticket will prevail A few days will determine.

 TRUTH IS MIGHTY AND WILL PREVAIL!
 We are informed by booksellers and others that not withstandng the fears and preiudices of many good people, We6sters edition of the Bible s fast gaining ground in public estimation. We hear no material objections to the manner in which the cancellations are made, but great appreciation Tho .sense of the common version is retained as is the body of the a- gage, but the alterations are deemed real and vaua- ble Improvements. Ungrammatical phrases are cor rected and obscure passages rendered clear and intel gibc; offensive words and phrases rejected, and their places supplied with others, which can be read in families without exciting blush even in females, and disturbing the solemntes of devotion. There noth ing sectaran in the alterations and wish has alrea dy been expressed that this edition may be used in the pulpit, The friends of religion will do well to at tend to this subject, for certain it is that whatever in the language of the Bible tends to excite disgust or rdicule must lessen the reverence due uU the sacred oracles. ..~..,
 The editor. of newspapers will probably do an ae- ceptabe service to many of their readers by extend ing the circulation of this notice. 25

 This good old democratic state-she very home of the "JIack aud te candidate for the Vice Presiden- cy, Johnsen-has given great majority for Harrison.
