When ii is con- sidered that this county has been regarded, by both Wings and Democrats, as the head quarters and stronghold, or, in the language of the Gazette, as '' the hcart of JFhggsfyn in Arkansas, and that the Whiga expecleasin the recent contest 10 carry itby o very large majority, at least q hundred or morc,-and when il is further considered that influences were brought to bear upon the election, by the Wings, such as have rarely been intro- duced in any canvass before, it would not be claiming too much to say that we have tri- umphed Even if the Wings have succeeded with their whole ticket, rhict is yet doaJ.Ial, the wonder may well he, not that we have failed, but that VIC ,lid SO we'll
