TENNESSEE LAVE ELECTION.

TENNESSEE Polk Is certainly elected Governor,
but by what majority, we are unable 10 say. Seven
Wings and six Loco-iocos are elected 70 Congress,
and majorityof both branches Of the. Legislature
are Locofocos.
INpiAsA--The result In this State is not quite so
bad as at first appIehended Three Wings and -four
Locofocos have been elected TO Congress, TO viz
Rayiden, Profit and Wick (W) Wickis SET down
as Clay man In the Indiana papers, which we take
10 be the very best evidence Of his adherence 70 true
Wing principles.
KENTUcxY--The delegation from Kentucky will
stand, eleven w higs, Loco foco and district
10 hear from The only Loco-foco so far elected Is
Col. Butler in Souihgate's district. Ia Menifec's
old district ANDREWS, wing, has succeeded. In the
district hear from the First II doubtful whether
Loco TOGO has been chosen or not The district Is
decidedly Loco-foco, but as there were two candt-
dates Of that party running against one Wing Il Is
not impossible that the Wing may have succeeded,
though the chances are that il is not so.
NoRrn CAnoLINA.--W We yesterday received returns
from LEWIS WILLIAMS district, announcing his re-
election This concludes the contest In the old North
State and the final result is that six Wings and Sc
ven Loco-focos, have been delegated 70 express the
desires Of that State in the next Congress. The
Wings in the aggregate have neither gained nor
lost any thing since the closing Of the last session Of
Congress.
ALAB.MA.-The only additional intelligence we
have from this State is confirmation Of the report
ed election Of Gen. CaABB (Whig,) in the third
district.

# there were not thousand political
reasons why the party in power should be
oyerthrown, a sufficient cause would appear
in the moral obliquity that is eyinced in the
appointment Of persons to places Of trust and
emolument, whose disregard Of religion and
moral obligations is so open and manifest. 1t
was only the other day that several persons
in New York we're found to have committed
perjury in relation to entries at the Custom
House. the most Of whpm have since fled to
Europe. What better Gan be expected, when
we fad a party openly sustaining immortality
by appointing infdels b Office, and warmly
advocating the election IF others to the legis-
htve branch of the government! Can It be
supposed, that the sacrGness Of an oath will
be regarded by the mas, when persons are
selected for high PLACES by the dominant
party, who scott at Goean religion?
