THE ELECTIONS.

TIE ELEC HUNS.
GLoRIous!l The returns from the Con-
gressional elections at the West are cheering
indeed, and encourage us 10 hope that the ad-
ministraton will be found in the minority in
the House of Representatives; all agree that
their majority at the best will be reduced to
10Y! and thus their power to do any serious
mischief, will be taken away.

The CONGRESSIONAL ELEcTIoNs.
liz KENTUcKY.-Rcturns have at last reach
ed us from the only doubtful District in this
State, being that last represented by Mr.
Boyd, (Adnlin.) In that District, a Wing
(Mr. CampbelD has been elected though there
were two Wing candidate running at once a.
gainst the Administration candidate.
Kentucky thus presents an undivided front;
and tho electing her Representatives by Dis
tricts, has chosen Wings in every District,
thirteen in number. lin the last Congress,
nine only of the thirteen were Whigs1
In lsDIASA.-RatIif Boon, the remaining
representative Of Gen. Jackson in this State is
defeated, and Wing elected in his place.
Indiana also, therefore, has chosen an entire
Wing representation in Congress.
The majority against Mr.. Lane (the late
administration representative from this state)
was ,07s votes.
The whole result in the following States is a.
follows: The Wings have gained in North
Carolina, 1; in Tennessee, L; in Kentucky, 4;
Indiana 5; alabama, no loss or gain so far
Whoie Whig gain thus far Eleven.
There are three districts in Alabama which
have not yet been heard from, as also the States
Of Rhode Island and Michigan. In Rhode
Island, the election takes place on the 29th inst
In Michigan on the 2lst, and will be continued
the following day.
The state of parties in the House of Repre-
sentatives as far as returns have been received,
will be as follows: Wigs li6 Tories 100.
Six members yet to be chosen. If they are all
tories, the administration will have the lean
majority of ten in house of 242, and where
for the last two or three sessions they have had
an overwhelming majority. Many of the adj
ministration members il may be presumed, will
have sense and patriotism enough to act on the
currency question for the best interests of the
country, so that we trust we may look for
REFORM. The people have spoken loudly
and il new and general election Of the whole
Congress could be had, we have no doubt the
result would be, the return Of tremendous
Wing majority.
90 Let Vermont noW speak in her state
election. The Whigs cfhe Union erpeet the
Wigs Of Vermont TO do their duty.
Kentucky Legislature far as heard from,
the members elected to the House Of Represent
tatives of KY. are, Wings hirty-three; Van
Buren, FOUR!
ave have gain of one member of Con-
gress, and a very large majority of the peoples
votes has sustained our principles, and put the
seal Of their condemnation on the administra-
ton of Jackson and Van Buren,, and along
with it, on the Expunging Scene, and our
Senators who participated in the infection of
that blow upon the Constitution.
