ELECTION NEWS.
A review Of the battle thus far will show
that if it has not been Leipsic or a " ater-
loo to our opponents, It has been at least an
! Eylau, or a Friedland. The victorious ca
recr in which for ten years past they have
swept over the States has been checked
and cut short Leipsic and Waterloo,
dreadful r0ut and total overthrow, in due
time will follow.
Elections have taken place this fall in
the following States, viz: Maine, Vermont,
Rhode Island, New Jetsey, Pennsylvania
Maryland, Forth Carolina, South Carolina,
Georgia, Alabama, Louisiana, Missouri,
Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and Ohio.
In MAINE, we have lost the Governor,
one member Of Congress, and the lower
house of tho State Legislature.
In VERMONT, VIC have elected our Gov
ernor, and have an increased majority in
both branches Of the Legislature, which Sc
cures the reelection of Wing u S Sen
al0., and three members of Congress
There is no election in one district.
IN RHODE ISLAND, we have retained by
increased maioriles both branches of the
General Assembly, which ensures the re-
election oil Wing O. s. Senator.
In New JERLEY, according to decisive
accounts by the last mail, we havo retained
onr six members of Congress, and carried
both branches Of the State Legislature,
| which ensures the reelection of Wing u.
| s. Senator.
In PENNSYLVANIA, after most desper-
ate struggle, in which the Loco Focos have
,osorted to means of the most disgraceful
character, Governor Ritncr has been de-.
! faated by nominal and fraudulent major
| ity Of Gre,or sic thousand. Vote larger than
ever thrown in the State before. In conse-
quence Of this defeat, large number Of
State officers have become prisoners in the
hands Of the Loco Eocos and are threaten
ed with a speedy and indiscriminato nassa-
Gre. But1there is fairsprospect that the
amendments 70 the constitution, which were
referred on this occasion to the people have
been adopted; in which case the State OK
ecutivo will be shorn Of its power, aud the
Loco Focos will lose the principal antieipa-
led fruits Of their victory.
The Wings have lost the Governor, but
they have carried both branches of the Leg
islatrre, e thing aoAichttey hare nepsr done
before. ct theopening of the session, the
Senate will stand 10 Wings to IA Tories.
The same as last year. The seats Of thrce
Tories will be contested and probably with
success. The seats oft the tvO Wings from
Philadelphia County will also be contested !:
but the probability is without success, so
that before the end of the session, the SEN
ate will stand ilDeniy-t,oo Wings 10 eleven
Torres. In The House the Wings have
! fnv -t,co including the eight Philadelphia
! County lncmbers) and the Tories forty
eigit, being majority of fonr for the Wings,
The seats of the eight Wing Philadelphia
County members will be contested but
certainly without success.
In MARYLAND, we have lost our Cover
nor, but have carried both branches of the
State Legislature, which ensures the re-
election of Wing u. S. Senator

umphantly carried the Governor. and both
branches Of the State Legislature, which

Wy FIRE 10 the shape of instructions and

it very difficult to Withstand.
