Inc wings appear to be triumphant in Philadel-
phla, and they have favorable intelligence from
other parts OF the State. correspondent writes to
US as follows.-
~, PHILADELPHIA, Oct. III, lS43
We have just concluded an eventful election-the
result OF which has been perfect of the loco
tocos-horse, foot, and dragons The papers of
this morning could not publish the news, so will
give you an abstract.
In the first district, Z. Joy Morris has been elect
ed. He Is wing OF the tariff Clay stamp, and was
elected by split between the locos. In the second
by tall majority. Our Mayor ditto; and the new
Sheriff. Morton McMichael, has gone in with
swinging majority. In the third distr, John T.
Smith, name that has been heard of before. is
yer Oldschool." In the fourth district, c. j. IDger-
soil, "he gentleman of large conversation" is
elected by small majority. The wings did not
know their strength, or they would have beaten
him. The news from the counties surrounding US
Is great for the wings, and some OF them, | am
afraid, will go of half cooked, if they not look
ed after. Yours in haste,
LlpDY PECK.
From the Philadelphia Gazette we copy the fol-
lowing exultlng language =
The election which was held in Philadelphia yes
terday terminated In complete overthrow Of the
harmonious democracy in the city, and the loss of
more than one OF their best leaders in the county
So entirely does the victory exceed all the ancipa
tons of the wings themselves, that i is difficult to
refer to 1t in the moderate terms we are wont to
use. The majority on the Mayors ticket is tremen-
Cous-two thousand six hundred and nine which is
more than four times the average majority for the
Councils last year.
The Gazette says of the Congressional election:-
In the First Congressional District, Mr. Edward Joy
Morris, most worthy wing, is elected. He had
two opponents from the locoioco ranks-one, Mr.
McCully, of the Tyler, Porter school, and the other
OF the old school OF patent democracy The eectonof
Mr. Morris is realtrlumph, as it is gain Of wing
member Of Congress in the very hot bed of demo-
crazy.
In the Second Disrict-the city proper-our able
and favorite whig representative ia the last Con-
gress, Mr. ]. n. ngerso, lis reelected by brilliant
majority-iar above his former majority.
In the Fourth District, Mr.. Charles Ingerso
the democratic" representative of the district in
the last Congress, is also reelected and doubtless
by strong majority-which however We have not
as yet learned.
In the Third District, Mr. John T. Smith Demo
cra is also elected, but his majority is not ascer-
tanned. We may remind our distant readers that
those tour Districts compose Philadelphia county.
The delegation is thus divided between the par
ties
Ofthe Sheriff and others it says: Mr. McMiclael's
majority In the city, about $500, far surpasses the
highest hopes of his most sangulne friends He is
undoubtedly elected by at least 800 majority.
The Wing Treasurer, Penrose Ash, the Auditor,
Henry d. Steever, and the County Commissioner,
Philip Justus, have maortes also, exceeding three
thousand three four hundred in the city, and their
election is a certainty.
