Our Congressional Election.

Upton CoUNTY.-The returns from Upton are not
yet in; but we look for our usual majority-say 20
to 80
HAMILToN.-In this county we are accustomed to
small wing majorities; and on this occasion we were
appised. beforehand that Mr. McCarty had contract
for the abolition VOTE We rather thought there might
be little shriakGge on that point, and though we
have not seen the returns, opine that the more
thorough liberty men voted for their own candi-
date especially such as were formerly democrats
We had any confidence in the professed aboIi-
ton principles of great portion of the Quakers call

MADrsoN.-In this county Mr.. McCafty's majority

Indianapos,) just about 100 democrats have turned
wings since last year, were snapped off, or are
against the war, got their politics and business
