THE ELECTION.--LowNDEs CouNTT.
We give below the official returns for the cleo
ton OF State and County officers held on Mon
d1y and Tuesday last. twill be seen that We
have achieved a glorious victory. McNutt has a
maiority of l79, ard we have elected our Seua-
tor, and three good democrats to the House Of
representatives. We think that the federal
party may give up Lowpdes county They have
always rua under great Advantages here, and have
always been beaten, badly beaien.--Col Estes,
their candidate for Senator, is gentleman of
high standing, aud is personally, dese9yed'y pop
ular; Mr.. PEBBLES, who led the van on the ieder
al ticket for the House is also man of much
worth and intelligence, and so they are all honor
able, high minded gentlemen; better selection
the federal party 1--WE mean TO coll them by their
correct nancy could not have made. We think
ii utterly useless for them to try again-lIow-
ever, we shall always be willing and ready to
meet them in fair field.
NrNut's majority would have been greater
bat Cor the fact that there were many federal
votes given in the county by gentlemen from 9TH
cf parts of the State. Such we are informed was
the case. In the election for Sheriff. the most
important county officer, we were divded-the
opposing candidates being both good democrats
Mr.. James III. Tuner is a most worthy aud es-
Unable gentleman, and would have beaten any
other man in the county except Col Byrn, who
is decidedly one of The most efficient and indie
ntigoble pablo officers we have ever known.
Upon the whole, we have great reason TO ex-
ult at the result ofths election. 1t is the first
general one that has taken place in the South
west, since the special session--and so far as
Iowndes county is concerned, it fixes the seal of
appreciation on all the measures recommended
by Mr.. Van Buren, in his late noble message,
every important officer elected in the county be-
ing decided padwam supporters Of that docu-
ment.

% A friend Of Judge Trotter has furnished
us with evidence in relation to the charges The
Argus made short time since about his poltica
course, which completely overthrows the purl'
assaults Of the editor upon the Judge. We shall
