The ELECTIONS, THUS FAR.-The N

lowing very satisfactory analysis Of the
recent State Elections; which presents
the results very fairly.

anti Texas with the State Districted

is the most remarkable Political revolu-
ton of our day, and bids fair to be en-
during.

gresham as before another defeated

votes.
Missouri and Arkansas-Loco, with no
serious effort by the Wings; Wing gain
in the Arkansas Legislature.
Wisconsin-The delegates thus far
known TO be elected to the Territorial
Convention of Wisconsin are said to be
8 Wings and 80 Democrats.
Louisiana as it had been for
some years Governor and Legislature
carried by an increased majority.
North Caroiina-Whig all over, elect
ing Wing Governor by double Mr..

1000 agains, the regular Loco candidate,
who had 1000 last year Legislature
still doubtful. Last year strongly against

ized or obviously on The point Of be-
coming SO.
The choice oftwo Wings in Portland
to the Maine Legislature, on the second
trial, and two in Bangor, makes the re-
turn of representatives, SO far us receiv-
ed present nearly an even balance be.
tween the parties. The result of the
elections to be held hereafter will be
looked for with much interest.

MOVEMENTS OF GEN. TAYLoR.-By
the latest accounts received from the
South, Gen. Taylor appeared to have been
m full march for Monterey, with an army
of about 1000 and would probably reach
that city by the 2Sth ult. A battle with
the large Mexican force arrayed IN de-
fence ofthat city seems almost inevitable.
The arrival of the next steamer at New
Orleans, will without doubt, give the re-
suit.
