The following summing mp OF the re-
suits of recent Elections in the different
States, appeared in the New-York Cou-
rier s. Enquirer previous to the cleo
ton in that State. Adding that, to-
gether with Massachusetts, which have
just taken place, to the account, and
we think the whole pretty conclusively
shows the supremacy ofthe Wing cause
in almost every section of the country.
RESULTS sOrRECENT ELECTIONS.
The Loco Focos are coming to their SEN
Sos, and find that they have not quite 60
much reason for rejoicing over the recent
elections rs they at one time supposed. In
spite of all their infamous frauds in Pcnnsyl-
vania and New Jersey-and in spite Of the
British influence and British gold, which
they have brought to bear on the border
counties of Maine-they find themselves in a
very poor way, after aIl-and though they
may shout little to keep up their spirits,
they know that the political days Of Mr.. VAN
BunEN are numbered, and that they will soon
be finished.
The first of our Fall Elections took place
in LouIsIANA.-The vote was the heaviest
ever thrown in tho State; and the Wing
majority for Governor was S35 votes-on all
the other tickets much larger. The Wings
elected their Governor, three Monrbers OF
Congress, thirty one Members to nineteen in
the House Of Representatives, and eight to
eight in the Senate. The result, as far as it
affects the Federal Administration, gives us
a gain ofone Member of Congress.
In NoRrm CAROLINA, we have elected
Wing Governor by majority Of more than
10000 votes, and Whig majority of ten in the
Commons and four in the Senate. Messrs.
Strange and Bro,cn---the latter having three
years. Of his Senatorial term unexpired, and
the former five, will probably be instructed
out Of their places-if not for their course on
the Sub-Treasury question, at least on some
other Of the many measures which have made
them justly odious to their constituents
The doctrine of instruction being recognized
in their State, and these gentlemen being its
especial advocates, we hope that they will
suffer the application of the doctrine, in their
own instance, with good grace.
In Missouri, the Tories carried the day
az usual-electing nojoritsey, although Sc
riously diminished, in both branches of the
Legislature. Since Mr.. Benion proposed in
Congress, through his Divorce and Hard
Moncy,.o transfer tho commercial sovereignty
from New York to st. Louis, we cannot be
surprized that the people of his own State
are willing to lend him hand in effec,ing
this consummation. They have gained moth.
ing, however, by carrying Missouri.
Ia INDIANA we have again carried both
branches Of the Legislature by an increased
minority; the members s,arFding in joint bal
lot 30 Vines against So Van Buren, men,
Conservatives, and men Of doubtful or un.
known politics. As Mr.. Senator Ttpion's
term expires on the next fourth Of March,
this Legislature will elect a Wing Senator
in his ploce-insuring q gain Of one in the
United States Senate.
In AIAsAAA things are as they always
have bcen-,he Tories having both branches
of the Legislature.
In ILLINOIS we have achieved most I'm
portant victory-having elected two members
of Congress, and majority Of both branches
Of the Legislature. Two years ago the Van
Buren majority was about l2:0CO, aud such
was the state Of parties during Gen. JACK
sons administration, that there was hardly an
effort nt opposition. The majority in the
Legislature secures the election Of a Whig
Senator for 1910 and We have gained one
member in the United States House Of Rep.
