from 100 to $50 majority in Susquehanna. Result
doubtful in the district. WIlmot 10 the only men,

Luzerne belongs to the district from which we have
the vote in 10 townships which are reported have

GEs. FosrER's DIsrRIor.-Job Mann, the demo-
cratic candidate, in Westmoreland and Bedford
counties, is no doubt elected, as we learn that he

STATE LEGIsLATURE. The democrats lose an ad.
ditional member of the Legislature in Northumber-
and and we fear two more in Bedford.
Speaking Of the result in Northampton county,
the Easton Argus says:
"This result is entirely different from what we
anticipated, and far from what we hoped for and
expected. And we can account for It IN other
way than that the tremendous rain storm, and wind
which lasted all day, prevented the democratic
voters from going to the polls. While the mass

ships, and are obliged to travel a considerable
distance to the polls, remained at home, the
wings, (who generally live in the more thckly pop
ulated districts, in small towns, &C. turned out
strong enough to elect portion Of their ticket
aided by few stubborn democrats Ii was the
smmest vote ever polled in Northampton county,
and had the day been fair one, not too extremely
unpleasant for the democratic farmers to venture
from their homes, the whole regular ticket would
have been elected. There were over -FOUR THOU.
HUNDRED less votes polled at this election
than at the presidential election Of lS44 Of Vhich
over TWO THOUSAND NINE HUNDRED were democratic
votes, and about seventeen hundred wings. The
regular democratic assembly ticket is elected, Mon
roe county having given them good majority"
BE NOT DIscoURAeEp-We hope the result of
the election will not discourage a single dem
ocrat in our county. Had the day been a fair one,
the whole democratic ticket from stem to stern
would have prevailed. The stormy weather pre-
vented our men from coming put to the polls. This
will not always be the case, add next year we can
bring matters all right. Let US not forsake our
usages or principles, nominate strong and good
ticket Of entirely and talented men next year,
and we can and must succeed. We lost but two of
our on the ticket, this year, and next year we
must elect the whole Of them. Be Of good cheer,
and the good old democratic ship will soon again
steer safely into port"
