"Judging from the few returns which had then
in, few days since informed you that the Democratic
majority on the Congressional vote would I've between
nnent returns have disappointed me, and that the mao
rity will not exceed twenty five hundred, it, indeed
reaches that number The falling off has arisen from
ties for seats in The Legislature, and from conidercr
in our strength in others, which induced many voters
to stay at home The aggregate vote will be some
thousands shor. CT that last year. cannot be msia
ken that we shall shew stronger majority against M
Clay two years hence.
