BULLETIN OF THE CAMPAIGN THUS FAR.


away, that we are able To give pretty precise ac-
count Of the result Tins far far, ofthe fall elections;
and we are happy in being able to congratulate all
those of our friends, who have not been frightened
10 death during the lat week, by the wild shouts
and unbounded exultauons of the Loco Focos, re-
echoed in iimid dsconsolate croakings by some in
own rnnks,--we are happy, we say. to con-
graduate all those who have not been thus fright
ened to DEATH with the fair prospect before US OF
fgting many more battles, eq naIly desperate with
that IN which arc now engaged, and IN the end
Of driving the Loco Focos from the field
review of the battle thus far will show that if
it has not been Lepslc or a Waterloo to our OPP
ponents. it has been at least an Eylau, or Freid-
land. The victorious career in which for fen years
past they have swept over the States has been
checked and cut short f; Lepslc and Waterloo,
dreadful rout and total overthrow, IN due time will
follow.
Elections have taken place this fall in the fol-
lowing states, viz Maine, Vermont, Rhode
Island, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Mary land
North Carolina, Souih Carolina Georgia, Alabama
Louisiana, Missouri Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky and
Ohio. 4 '.' .... b.. .. .'t..'
In Marine, we have lest the Governor, one mem.
Der of Congress, and the lower house of the State
Legi.ature ... .r.
In TermOnt, have elected our Governor, and
have an increased majority in both branches of the
Legislature, which secures the reelection Of a
Wing u. S. Senator, and three members of Con-
gress. There is no election in one district.
In Rhode Island, we have retained by increased
maioriuos both branches of the General Assembly
which ensures the reelection Of Wing U. 5, SEN
ator. t.FFt ~ fs "a 1919.
In Neao Jersey, according to decisive accounts by
the last mail we have retained our six members of
Congress, and carried both branches of the Stale
Legislature, which ensures the reelection OF a
Wing u. S. Senator. r.R -seH-
In Pennsylvania, after most desperate struggle,
in which the Loco Foros have resorted to means of
the most disgraceful character, Governor Ritner
has been defeated by nominal and fraudulent ma
jority of some five or six thousand, in vote ma
ny thousands larger than was ever thrown IN the
state before. .r -........... .,...
The Wings have lost the Governor, but they
have carried both branches of the LegisIature,--a
thing which they hnye never done before. AT the
opening of the session, the Senate will stand ~
Wings to Id Tories The last year. The
seats of Tories will be contested, and probably
with success The seats of the 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 % Wings
TO u Tories. In the Hsuse the Wings have 81,
(includIng the eight PhdeIphia County members)
and the Tories IS, being majority OF Tor The

without success.

ted Thompson and Campbell, the only two Wigs
