"Sir-Our election in the south part OF
the State has gone for the wings by in
creased moiorities. But in the north part
lof the State our friends have done nobly.
John Smith, Esq, of St. Alban', is elected
to Congress over II. Allen, by two or three
hundred majority. General Isaac Fletcher,
of Lyndon, is also reelected by large ma
lioriiy. Although our number in the house
will be somewhat reduced, we feel fully
compensated in the election Of Mr. Smith"

twill be seen from the foregoing that
the democratic party in Vermont have gain
ed one member Of Congress in Mr.. Smith.
We shall therefore have a representation of
two from Vermont, in the place Of one, in
the next Congress. General Fletcher, in
the present Congress, has done well, and
we are glad to learn that he will have a
colleague of The right stamp to commune
with in his fature labors.-Erg. Post.
The representation in the mex. Congress
will be two democratic--thrce Federal.

ILLINors.-TEa second postscript of
the Chicago Democrat of tho 25,h ult.,
seven hours later than any thing before re-
ceived, says that it is now certain that Mr..
Doug glass is elected by over 100 majority.
We presume this will prove to be rua."

The election in Maine took place on
Monday. We expect to have pleasing in
telligencc from thence to communicate next
week. The contest has no doubt been a
severe one as the feds. feel that a defeat
IN Maine, at the present moment, will be
but prelude to the pros,ralion Of all their
hopes Of victory in Pennsylvania and New
York-hopes which will prove rs 'baseless
us the fabric Of dream The federal pam
ic has passed away, the people can nov
see clearly, and we have no fears for the
result.
For the purpose Of influencing the elec.
,ions in Vermont and Maine, the leading
federal whig pnpers have msrepresen,ed
the results of the recent elections at the
West-psrtlcularly in Illinois. They now,
or many of them, acknowledge that we have
carried the day in that state. The demo-
cratic Governor, 1t. Governor, and all three
Congressman nrc positively elected. Thus
passeih away the Glory" Of the Wings,
in the shade of their departed panic.

papers to the l4lh Of August have been re-
ceived. The results of the emancipation
constitute the principal topic Of discussion
as we'll as Of statement in these papers,
The Despatch gives melancholy accounts,
no doubt highly colored by the feelings and
opinions of the editor, who has all along
opposed the emancipation with great zeal
and constsncy. The morning Journal and
other papers, give different account, and
say that the lst Of August passed off quiet
ly, aud that there are no disturbances, ouly
disputes about wages. In short (says one
of the papers,) it is evident enough that
the great work Of emancipation has been
effected with as little trouble or evil consc-
quence Of any kind as could reasonably be
expected.
