"Decr Si!sWe hasten to give yon the sesuit OF tho
election IN this county, without gong into dealls--he
Official returns not having becn received. Tcers
majority over Hubbard viii be between 60 and 20. The
Federal Wing county candidates, Fox and Drow1, are
elected by about Il % majority Clay. aud
about - 10 80 Jones, the Democratic candidates.
Had II been FOX the Congressional election, il is
my opinion that Clay ard J;aes woc.d have been
eected--ihey beng superior nen 10 the Wing candi'
