tor.
In PENNSYLVANIA, after most des-
perate struggle, in which the Loco Flo.
cos have resorIed TO means of the most
disgraceful character, Gov. Rtner has
been defeated by nominal and fraud
ulent majority of some fee or SIR thou
sand, in a vote mani thousands larger
than was ever thrown in the State be-
fore. In consequence of this defeat. a
large number of State officers have
become prisoners in the hands of the
Loco Focos, and are threatened with a
speedy and indiscriminate massacre.
But there is fair prospect that the
amendments to the Constitution, which
were referred on this occasion to the
People, have been adopted; IN which
case the State Executive will be shorn
of its power, and the Loco Focos will
lose the principal anticipated fruits Of
their victory.
The Wings have lost the Governor,
but they have carried both branches oil
the Leg stature, a thing uhich they hare
ncuer done Jefore. AT the opening of
the session the Senate will stand nine
teen Wings to fourteen Tories. The
same as last year. The seats Of three
Tories will be contested, and probably
with success. The seats OF the two
Wings from Philadelphia county will
also be contested, but the probability
is without success SO that, before the
end of the session, the Senate Will stand
irenty-two Wings TO eleren Tories.
In the House the Wings have .fhy.fDo,
INCLUDING the eight Philadelphia coun.
ty members,) and the Tories forty
eight, being a majority Of four Tor the
Wings.

In MARYLAND, we have los, our Co

ofthe State Legislature, which ensures
the reelection Of Wing U. ). Sena-
tor.
In Nonru CAROLINA, we have most
triumphanlly carried the Governor
and both branches OF the State Legs
lature. which exposes those Tory Stna-
tors. Brown and Strange, proicssed m
structlonists, to u heavy fire in the
shane of instructions and Legislative
resolutions, which they will ind II
very difficult to withstand.
Ia SouTH CAROLINA, we have TIT
umphantly reelected Thompson and
Campbell. In the other seven districts
Sub Treasury Van Buren, NullIilca,lon
members have been elected. The Lee
oislature is also Of the same stamp.
So il was last year. We hold our own
and have lost nothing.
In GEORGIA. we have made glorl-
Gus gain of eight members OF Congress-
the Whole zine members being Wings.
In the present Congress one wing.
We have also carried both branches OF
