FLORIDA.

Cabeil, Wing, is elected to Congress IN this
State, over Kahn, Dem. In speaking of the
result of the election in this State, the Talla-
hassee Foridsan, of the'17th inst, holds the
following language:-
"The full returns of the election have not
been received, but sufficient we believe to Sc
cure the election of Mr. Cabell, the whig can
didate for Congress. From the best informa-
ton we have been able to obtain, we are sat-
isfed there will be democratic majority in
both branches of the Legislature.
Whatever may be the causes which have
led to- hissTesult, we think it unnecessary to
dilateS upolN hem at present We know many
and further. we say that, although defeated
in the Congressional ticket, we have not the
less confidence in the Democracy of the State.
Florida is Democratic State, and will hereaf.
ter prove herself such.
"The result so far as heard from gives Ca
bell from 100 to 200 majority. The official
feturns when received may show little Diff
ference, but not sufficient to make any deci-
ded change.
"The reports are so contradictory that we do
not dare to give them, but hope we shall be a.
bic in our next to give something reliable"
