We had no farther retu,ns by the southern
Mail Yesterday. As will be seen below, there IS
some probability that mistake had been ioade

We are somewhat surprised at the peTtinac'ty
with which our Loco Foco contemporaries o0''-
,inue tn claim majority both OF the Legislature
and Convention in face OF returns which lead to
directly opposi,e conclusion. BOTH the Courier

facts nor fiou-es Justify and which rests soe':

With respect to the Convention, there IS almost
as little doubt that the Wigs will have MAJOR
