| The ELECTIONS Returns received up to The
present time of the recent elections by no means
complete neither can they be fully relied upon
The contest throughout appears to be entirely be.
tween the two old parties, wings and democrats
apparently no abolitionlsts stirring In the matera
| least none are recorded.
According TO present appearances the wings do
not roll such large a; the Presidential cleo
ton OF last fall; this may give the democrats some
llie advantage but otherwise the parties may stanc
very much they were previous to the present con
test.
For Kentucky last year the House of Representa-
tlves In Congress stood five wings and five demo
Gratis According to present appearances il will thi:
year stand the same, owing to the wings having
two candidates in one district, otherwise it woulc
stand six wings to four democrats-a gain of one
Indiana stood last year with eight democrats and
two wings; this year, after hard struggle on the
part of the wing party, they remain the same.
In North Carolina the election has resulted in the
choice of five democrats certain, and two others
ported to have been elected If the latter be correct
the present members will stand thus-Six democrats
to three wings, gain of one on the part of the de-
mocrats.
In Alabama there is an election for Governor and
other State officers, in addition members OF Con-
gress. For the former office there are two demo-
cratic candidates, who have very close race to-
geher, but the independent democratic candidate
CMartln,) has the majority, much owing 10 the
support he has received from the wing party -
The democratic ticket tar appears to prevail
throughout this S'atr, and the general impression
is that it will be successful. If so the
democrats will have gam of one the previous
House standing six democrats TO one wing
Tennessee is looked upon as the most important
OF the present elections 1t may be recolleced that
President Polk was defeated by the wings in this,
his native State, when candidate for Governor in
lS43, by about 400.votes; but at the Presidential
election OF 1874 that vote was much diminished,
Clay having only lib majority over Polk. There
fore, the present state of party feeling in this State
is looked to with considerable interest The cleo
ton TO commence on the 9TH inst, but up to
the present time no accounts have been received
from this quarter.
We have no returns from these States as to the
different Legislatures whereby TO form an opinion of
the future characte- Of the Senate of the United
States Indeed there appears to be general apathy
prevailing as to these returns, even in the immedi
ale scenes OF action, and among the Abotionists in
particular, as TO the result which cannot be readily
solved
