THE WESTERN ELECTIONS

 even exceed ree will be supporters of the mischiev- ous measures of Van Buren against the currency and the best interests of the nation. But let us go little into particulars. KENTUcKY.-The returns from this State are not entirely complete. Sufficient however is known to warrant the opinion that twelve whigs are elected cer tain, and it is hoped that the only remaining one the thirteenth, is also chosen. This is the district lately represented by Lynn Boyd But the greatest triumph is in Col. Tecumseh Vice President Johnson's district Last fall the majority here for Van Buren was more than l4O0-now MT. Souhgates (whig) is 33O. In Johnson's own county (ScotD whig representative to the legislature is seected-the first time almost since the memory of man. So far as returns are received for the legislature, there B whigs elected, and Vanites Henry Clay J. 'son of old Harry" is cho- sen to the legislature from Fayette county. The fol- lowing are the Representatives to Congress-ALL WHlGS, sound in the faith

The only district from which decisive returns not received that lately represented by Raiff Boone, and the chances are in favor of the whg candidate there. Here follow the names of the Representatives eect-AIL WHIGs.
 George H. Dunn, William Herrod
 John Ewing, James Rariden,
 William Graham, Albert s. White. TENNEssEE.-Here again, and more particularly, have the Wings to raise the glad shout of VIC TORY! Here is the home of the author and cause of 
 the greatest part of the mischief under which our country has for the last six months groaned and is still grooming. Here is the home of Gen. Jackson, who believed his inyincible-who threatened on his leaving Washington last winter that "he would drive Bell and Peyton and White from the course," and "srag ghten the politics of Tennessee" so that she should follow in the support of Van Buren, as she had followed i'm Vain and insoent threat! She has mo- ply thrown off the trammels of Jackson and Van Bu- rcnsm and now stands erect in manly pride" Col. Newton Cannon, her whig Governor, has been re-e- lected by tremendous maiorty-not probably short of2O0OO. Returns so far give Cannon 37,27O-Arm- strong V B. 2l,523. IeM of thirteen of her Con- gressmen whgs, and her legislature will also be whig. GLORY ENOUGH FOR ONE ELECTION! Here are the names of her Congressional delegation:

 ALABAMA.-This State will stand probably as here tofore-two Whig and three Van Buren Congrcssmen though have not received full returns. We haze received sufficient to ascertain that we cannot now be worse of than before.

 Michigan holds her election this week. and Rhode Island the next. These close up the elections, and decide the political complexion of Congress for the next two years.
 DT It was remarked in our paper few weeks since that there to be elected to the Congress which convenes month 66 Representatives and that to give the whig party the preponderance in that body it necessary for them choose 5l of that number. We are free to acknowledge that, however much we might have desired it, had expectation that it would be the case, though some whg editors pretend ed to argue themselves into the belief it would be done. These members were to be elected from the States following From Maine l, Rhode Island 2, Maryland & North Carolina l3, Alabama 5, Missis- sppi Tennessee l3 Kentucky l3 Indiana !, Arkan- sas l, and Michigan ]. The elections have now been held in all except Rhode Island and Michigan in both of which we calculate the tories will succeed, though in the former the contest will be spirited and cose From the other states we have pretty near complete returns and they present the following results, which is doing quite well for the whigs, except in Mary land and Mississippi, as we could have anticipated We subjoin the same states in the last Congress:
