E1rcrIoNs.--Tle last Argus says, "t the Wing
paln in Alabama is not very great He is mStak-
en- they have gained very great loss. The
Administration party viii have nearly twice as ma
nv members in the legislature as the whig party
will. if the statements, which we have seen, be cor
rect They viii certainly have much larger ma
outy than they had in the last legislature. We
shall, perhaps, be able to lay the ul returns before
our readers in our next. In the mean time, they
may be assured that Alabama is where she always
4 has been--or the democracy anG for the conslftu-
ton. Take one sample Of tie not very great whig
3 ran of tie Argus. la Mobile county, formerly
s one of their strong holds, they have been beaten
4 "horse, foot and Dragons" the Democrats having
succeeded in eccting their entire ticket by an aver
age majority of more than 200
From Illinois and Missouri, we have some par
ta returns favorable to the wings; but they are
from the river counties, which have been always
4 mostly devoted to the wMg cause. Both these
States have, we believe, gone for the administra-
ton by considerable majorities.
Il In North Carolina, so far as heard from, the pre-
sent whig Governor, and candidate for reelection
is far ahead of his opponent, Branch, who belongs
n to no party that we know Of The election of mem
bers to the legislature will be close, but we feel san
j guine that the democrats have carried the day.
In Kentucky, the wings arc ahead as usual
We shall have fuller and more correct returns in
few days, and will Cndeavor to lay them in detail
before our readers in our next. LC-Thc wings
have not fired gun SINCE the elections commenced
