The House OF Representatives is still in doubt.
We received Yesterday morning no Democratic
papers. Tie Tropic, (WEig,l claims out Of The
GO members IS known 10 be elected as Wings
and expects nine more, making Wing majority
in the House. On comparing some OF lis returns
with those found in other Wing papers, We find
that the Tropic has incorrectly placed some

AS to the election for President in November
that is in the hands oi Providence, and The good
people of The Stale We doubt not that il will bc
a glorious triumph for the Democracy. II is the
game of the Wings TO brag-bui neither bras nor
