ILLINOIS ELECTION.


We give below all the returns we have re-
ceived, from which it will be seen, that al
though we have lost the Legislature, we may
still have a small ma ority of the popular vote.
Should the majority, however, be not more
than one thousand against us, we may claim
the state as certain for Harrison in November,
as change of about six votes in each county
would give him the ma GRITTY Van Buren's
ma ority in 1886 was about 5000; so that if it
be now but 1000,-and we do not think it can
be morc,-wc shall, when the tremendous
power Of the general and state governments,
which we have had to contend against, added
to the vast number Of votes almost universally
cast against US by unnaturalized foreigners, is
duly estimated, have achieved Il REAL VICTORY
and given our friends abroad no reason to
charge us with dcrcliction of duty, or to
question the attachment of the substantial po-
pulation of Illinois to the brave old chief whom
she delights to honor.

Those States marked with Il star, choose

lots Tor President and V ice President.

We believe Or estimates in the counties not
heard from in the 10 Daviess district to be cor
rect; yet we may throw away one thousand,
and yet exceed the votes of the l2 southern
counties. Epery county in JoDauiess district is
,rhg: so that if the district had its full repre-.
sentation it would be entitled TO 5senators and
| IL representatives., the number allowed to the
lower counties. Nine more votes added to the
wing strength in the house Of representatives
and four in the senate would make a material
difference in the political complexion Of that
body.
| But this is not all. In this senatorial district
we have polled upwards of 5000 votes, four out
of the FIVE counties being whig, and the fifth
giving but 9 V. B. majority, and yet we have
but members q senator and representatives.
while according to the southern ratio we should
the adjoining district Of Knox, Warren and
Henry, which has but one senator and one re-
preventative and each county of which is also
strongly wing.
We are aware that what we have said of the
political complexion Of the three northern dis
tricts spoken of, may be met in some degree by
the strongly. B counties of La Sale, Will and
Cook, OH the line of the canal, which have not
now their full representation but these NAV
be offset by other whig counties in the north
not here enumerated; and our object is not to
show ho,0 much the north has lost by the in.
equality Of the ratio, but tG prove that the ra-
| tiofas become so unequal as to make the choice
T of members Of the legislature no test whatever
of the strength of parties in the state. The po-
pulur vote alone can afford the true criterion,
and this we shal give as fast as it reaches US.

The recent election in this state has resulted
in the choice Of an administration legislature
by very decided majority in each branch.
