Dear Sir: Our election is over, and Col Nc
Leod is beaten for the Senate by Dc votes, and
Johnston county has gone for the democrats by 81

ciples The following is the state of the poll

Senators as follows

Rhode Island, do Missouri do
New Jersey, do

All these are certain. To the Wing column
may also, in ali probability, be added Senator
fiom Virginia, TO succeed Mr.. Rives there being
Wing majority of two on joint ballot in the
Legislature. This would be enough, if the poll
tics of all the members were rs decided as most of
them are For instance, the Richmond Enquirer,
in recording the results of the election, expressed
"grcat doubts' about the propricty ofclassing the
member from Logan county as whig. although
he is counted as such when we say there is a
Whig majority of two On the other hand the
election of the two members from Pendleton and
Bath counties will be contested by their Wing op-
poncnts. We say then it is probable Virginia
will eIecta Whig Senator. This is as far as we
can go at present. In such case, the Wings will
have ccisely half of the Senate, from the mem
bers who hold over and those to be elected by
Legislatures already chosen. Legislatures yet TO
be chosen will elect-
