TENNESSEE ELECTION.
We have returns from 81 counties IN Tennessee.
They present the following results. lin many Of them
the mnjorifcs onl, being embraced in the aggregated
of The Governors election:
For James *. Polk. (Loeo) 20,1s5
For Newton Cannon. (Whie) 19.462-ma. 723
In the same counties in 1887, thevo,e stood
For Cannon, (Whg) 29.7s4
For Armstrong. tLooo) 22,2A3-maj 7.541
Loco Foco gain s,264
IL addition to the foregoing. we have the votes Of
three counties, Campbell, Meigs and B,adey,)
which do not appear in the returns OF 1887, being
counties presume, formed ont OF the Chero-
kec couniry which give for Polk 1243. FOR Cannon
204-makng Folks majority in the 80 counties,
! 1862. There yet 30 counties to be heard from
II the change in them has been greater than in
the counties heard from, Cannon would still be elect
ed BY small majority, though it would be
uncertain mode e calculation, under existing cir
cumslances. 10 judge of one from the other.
The Western Way bill 100. received on Tuesday
night. states that Polk is elected, by majority of
! or 5000 This, ifrue, is most extraordinary and
unlocked for result. 1t is that antic pated
very considerable reduction of Cannons majority Of
/ 1887. Then, the contest was between White and
/ Fan Buren, and of course the latter went 10 the
wall though supported by the extraordinary in.
lucnce Of Gen. Jackson: Nor, the contest is be.
tween Clay and Gen. Jackson's appointed successor
and the most indeiarigable, and Unexpectedly sue
cessful eloits hise been made TO re- kndle the old
and violent prejndices agaiost Mr.. G. growing ont of
his frequent and fierce controversies with Gen. Jack
son.
And wuhal Gov. Cannon moi the man for the
crisis. Unpopular with large body of the Wings
with some personally and with Others on account
OF his views upon certain questions Estate policy,-
he was reluctantly supported by many, and falls we
have no doubt, greatly below the Wing Strength
And even II he had not been thus unpopular he
unable 10 cope with James X. Polk, before the peo
pie, even had not his official duties confined him at
Nashville. whIle his competitor twice t,aversed The
State Sout'7e at almost every step, and distributing
party documents with prodiga band John Bell
ought 10 have been IN the feld--to scatter Folks
sophstry TO the wnds-to reiute his bold assertions
to expose the deliDqnencies and corruptions If
The government, plaStered owe, by its missonary-
and 10 paint James X. Polk in his own proper
ooors. as The INSCRIPTIONS minion and tool ofpow-
er. But must reserve further remark.
Tie loss in the GuLernatoria election has been of
eoutse felt TO some extent IN the Congressional can
v4ss The following are the results, as far as they
have reached u.s.
In the LIST district VIM. b. Carter (Whig) is re-
elected ~ majority of abou, 1900 owe, Joseph
Powell loco Foco.)
In the ID, Ab,am Mcclellan (Loco) is re elected
by a large majority over J. A. Mckinney, (W.)

In the Slh, NJ. p. Gentry (Whie) is elected by
majority of about ESQ over Childrcss T.oco)
Inthe oh, (Polks old disrric,.) Harry NJ. Wat
'erson tLoco) beat Gen. d. l.. Barringer tWhg)
1000 votes.
In he lllh, the Nashville Wing says tive fear
Cave johnson Loco) is elected. His gain over
, Chealha'n, Che late member) since S37. in Die
son is l25 there is also reported falling off in
Chealhams najorities in Robertson and Mont
gomery."
The retntns for the STATE Legislature are yet too
imperfect TO admit Of any conjecture as to the pro.
babe compecrion ofthal body.
But, result rs the election may have, done we do
not despair of Tennessee. As the Knoxville Regis.
ter says-"We feel confident that Tennessee never
will vote for Van Buren,. if properly Informed in re-
ation 10 the great ISSUE the election I'm
enlightened public sentiment may be often wrong
hut when the true issues are fairly brought before
the minds Of the people, and presented in their true
colors. we cannot for moment doubt that the yer.
dict OF Tennessee will be against the principles of
the present administration"
