Three misunderstanding, the late Delegate
Ward, both Whgs-and David Levy, Democratic and
Anti Bank) The Tallahassee Floridian gives some
returns and afirms that "the Anti Bank Democracy
have obtained complete triumph. In despite of all
Inc ceseeking, Office holding influence conjoined
with that of all the Bank influence Of the Territory,
Mr. Ley is certainly elected" The Charleston Mer-
curry nclnes to the same opinion 1t says, that "ln
East Florida, the contest was almost wholly between
Downing and Levy, (Dem) A Wing gentleman d.
rect from that part informs that Levy leads Down

Downing has strength and there, so far as we have
heard, Levy is very little behind Ward Levy will
therefore be elected and probably by decisive majo
rity."

not decided by the last accounts.
The Secretary Of the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania
has issued proposals for loan of 1890 900, rate
not exceeding per cent. and rembursabe within FIVE
years. 1t is yet doubtful whether the State can OBJ
tain the money from the Banks. Some of them are
afraid of extending their negotiations far, notwh
standing the late Revenue Bill would exempt the
loaning bank for FIVE years from the penalties that
would otherwise attach to them for not paying spe-
