rLoRaDA ELEcTloN AGAIN.

Well it does really seem that We are nevel
to know with any thing like certainty. wheth'
er the Wing (Cabell,) or the Democratic
(Brockenbrough,) candidate for Congress Is
elected. A few weeks ago our opponents
were growing over triumph; then the tables
seemed to have turned, and we were eqnally
certain that the Democrat was elected; then
again, for some days past, it has been mat
ter of doubt which was the man. In the
Charleston Mercury of the 18th inst. we fnd
the following paragraph, which would put the
matter at rest, were it not that we learn that
peterborough intends to contest the seat al
the meeting of the House of Representatives.
He aIledges that he has been unfairly deals
with:
CAT last we have got out of the woods
CabeIl, the Wing candidate, has received the
Governors certificate as member elect TO Con-
press. His official majority is 81 votes
Several small election districts have made nc
returns. If the vote of these can be taken in
to account IN the House Of Representatives.
:hey may ultimately give the seat to Broken
broug h."
"Hon. John c. CaNoun.-Various rumors
have gone abroad as to the probabilities of
this distinguished statesman again taking a
seat in the u. S. Senate. Every where, and
from all parties, we hear an expression of
qualification at the prospect Of his great mind
being again brought into requisltion in our ma
lonal councils. We know that the inforlna-
ton will be received with general appreciation
that he is to return to the Senatorial station
during the ensuing session of Congress, Judge
Huger, the present Senator from this State,
having finally determined to carry out his
long desired wish Of retiring from office, held,
for some time past, only at the especial de-
sire Of his constituents. We have this infor-
nation from source which can be relied on -
The above paragraph is from the Charles
ton Courier Of Monday last, and we know that
the information it conveys will be hailed with
extreme qualification by our readers. For
ourself, we are much pleased. The approach
ing session Of Congress will be one Of deep
interest 10 the country. The great questions
Of domestic policy, which, for years past, have
been agitating the country, will be once more
brought before the collective wisdom Of the
nation. for its solemn, and we trust, final ar.
bitrament. The great battle will be once more
waged with all its ferceness, on the floors OF
Congress. In word, all the great issues
which divide the republican and the federal
parties, will be subjects of debate and legisla.
ton during the coming session. Add to this
the subject Of our foreign relations, growing
out of the Oregon question. and it must ap.
pear at glance that the Goth Congress is des
tined to be one Of the most important, in the
consequences Of its deliberations, which has
convened since the constitution was ratified
How important then is it, that tie wises
heads and most patriotic hearts should be
members of that body. Amongst these, Johr
C.. Calhoun ranks second to none in the coun.
try. What food of light will his gigantic
intellect throw over the complicated questions
upon which he will be called TO deliberate
How particularly serviceable will his grea
abilities be to the interests Of the South, espe
cially when the subject of the tariff comes up
for discussion. We trust that the Courier's
information may be correct, and that we viii
see the Palmetto State cnce more represented
by her two gifted sons, Calhoun and Nc
Dufie.
