7 am harry TO inform you, that the election m M,

\. maioriy Of 205 votes. The number of VOC.
,.ten in the county this spring somewhat smoIte,

The whole ofthe Wing party given their votes Capt.
Chea,ham's majority would have been al the loves,
Ejaculation, 800. Capt. Cheatham became n candi
dale some ten twelve days before the election and
ar cou,se had net sufficient time to visit all his
friends in tie county. This was owing TO The cir.
rums,ance that Col Staples iron the strenuous on
posiiron Of his family 10 his being cand laiel de
rlned running only short lime before the election:
and then the grand Fan Buren, Caucus was held at
our Courhonsr, for the pup ,se OF nominating u
candidate TO oppose him, and brought out the old

Coalition 8. Co.," Standing Atmes, and every thing
else. II IS said by great many intelligent gentle
men, that General Harrison will certainly get more
votes next November than Capt. Chtaiham did Al
this election; so that you may certainly set down
Parti,k for old TIP.
Il may be proper to state that Col. William Ayres
tLocoloco) dccIar, i himself candidate before the
Jecluation Of Col. Staples, aud still persisie in
spite OF the nomination Of Mr.. Adams, who, finding
that Col. A. was fixed in his determination. declined
also. and the contest was then narrowed down be-
tween Chealam aud Ayres. Mr. Ruchie's appeal
to Mr.. Adams has been in vain. aud | assert, without
fear Of contradiction. that Col Ayres is now, aud
was before The election, mere popular man Than
Mr. Adams, and thar was the reason the latter decu-
