The States of Alabama, Kentucky, Tenn

Congress on the first Monday of August
next. In North Carolina, if we are not
mistaken. Hawkins District, and five out of
the six counties of Stanley's CTyrrcl Co.
not voting till August eth,) voted on the
last Thursday of this month. Shepard
and part of Bynum's, vote on the first
Thursday in August, and the remainder of
the state on the second Thursday in Au-
gust. These elections generally excite
considerable interest, from the circumstance
of their occurring about the same period !;
and, from the number of members TO be
elected, they are generally decisive of the
political complexion of the House of Rep
rescntatives. This year the probability of
an Opposition majority in the House, and
the necessity ola considerable gain in the
above States, on the part of the Adminstra-
ton, to enable il to acquire majority have
rendered them cause of much anxiety to
politicians Of both parties. Ten days will
tell the story.-Uermonter
