WI. What now becomes 1.-THE ssWhig''
shouts, and h, ovw Ark1nassp We
have before ~ the Little Rack Banner Of
the 10th instant, from which Re get The
following glorious news:
1--WE have heard from some twenty odd
counties, embracing those in which the
wings are supposed to have most strength.
And, % far, the result is much more favor
able to our cause, than we anticipated
That Arkansas was democratic, and would
elect democratic Governor, Congress
man, and Legislature, we never entertain
ed doubt; but We have sometimes appre-
hended that our nssjosities might NOT, owing
TO- peculiar circumstances, prove to Be
very large. The result has far exceeded
our highest expectations, and rebuked our
Temporary and partial distrust Of the peo-
pie.
TO sum up our estimates, from sone-
what imperfect, yet substantially correct,
returns, IRON the counties above alluded
@-Yeil's majority over Wslksr, is 1850
votes. Drew's majority over Gibson, il
$50. And Byrd's entire vote is 600. We
now entertain little or no doubt, that the
remaining counties will increase Yell's
majority to near 1000, and Drew 8 to some
thing like $500; while Byrd will receive
altogether, between 1000, and 1900 votes.
The State Senate consists Of Is men,
bers, Of which, we are of opinion, Fl are
democrats. The House Of Representa-
tlves, consisting Of IS members, viii stand
about IS democrats, and IL wings; giving
us majority Of GO on joint ballot.
Ifthese results do not make up elori-
Gus triumph, and furnish guaranty d
what we can and will do, for Polk and
Dallas, in November, then we never ex-
pect to witness . triumph, and have nc
judgment Of the strength of parties. Re-
lieved, as our Presidential election will
be, from local prejudices, and personal
feeling, we have little hesitation in setting
down Arkansas, for Polk and Dallas, BY .
majority Of at least 5000 votes.
sYell is the democratic candidate fol
Congress, and Drew the democratic candi.

j The managers met this morning to coun
the votes; and, from the large number o
split tickets in the different wards Of III,

with the counting until late this evening
The entire Democratic ticket is, electet
