Deaf Sirs ! hasten TO inform you ofthe re-
suit Of the late election in this State. We have
elected our Governor, and majority IN both
branches Of The Legislature of course the elec-
lion Of a Whig United Sales Senator in the place
Of Tsppan, Is secured Precise maioritIes are OF
course unknown, as the counties are not all 10,
but we know enough to satisfy Us Of the above
perfectly We know we have gained two Cons
gressmen and lost three; two Of these having
been elected last fall in decidedly Democratic dis
uc,s,. and now as The presidential election is de-
pending, The party lines have been dJawn-and
rhey are defeated For the two last days this city
has been in intense excitement in consequences

the vote for The congressional candidates /; c. j..

ton Of the Democratic party is entitled to credit,
inssmuch as they would not so far violate every
thing like corfec, principles as 10 vote for man
whose proaigacy and open defiance Of every
