SlSSlppl,

ELECTIoNs.-The returns from Pennsyl.
vania show democratic loss of four Con.
gressional districts, and a gain of one.-
The federal candidate for Canal Commits
sloner is elected by the popular vote of the
State, and that party has the ascendancy
in both branches of the Legislature. MIR.
Wiimot, the only democrat in the last
Congress from that State W no voted for the
democratic Tariff bill, is reelected in his
district. This is triumph almost atoning
for the loss of the State, and proves that
when the issue is fairly met in the Kew
stone State, without equivocation or dou-
BILE dealing, truth will triumph, and her
stern Democracy repudiate the sophistries
of the recipients OF protective plunder.
In Ohio, there is an apparent wing gain
in the Congressional returns, but this is
caused by the alteration of the districts by
the last wing legislature. The democrats
fully hold their own IN the State.
The increase OF the Abolition vote in
Maine prevents choice by the people for
Governor. The Legislature is democratic.
In Florida, the contest for Representa-
tive is very cose-tull returns not yeti
received.
The Congressional election in Texas
took place on Monday last.

But The course of the Administration,

the President has had evil suggestions of
party expedl ency whispered into his ear,
but we also know that he has regarded
