We confess that, when We read The above
gloomy remarks of the Mobile Register, we felt
liule alarmed for The Democracy OF State,
which has always been true. But the Charles
ION Mercury OF Wednesday relieved all doubt, by
stating that, in thty.four counties heard from,
the majority for Chapman, (ihe Democratic can
ddae for Governor is 42l5 and he will be elected
by majority oil at least 7,00o-a very decided
victory after all. II seems that The Northern
counties, the "Tenlh Legion" Of Alabama, pour
ed in their avalanche" OF Democracy Qhough
the vote is somewhat diminished) and oyerpower-
ed Whisgery.
For Congress, Gayle is elected in the Mobile
district over J. T. Taylor by about 400-a Wing
gain. billiard, (Whig, who voted for The Ia
rifl OF ls4G,) reelected without opposilion.-
Sampson w. Harris, Democrat, elected 10 sue
coed Coltrell, Democrat. w. r. w. Cobb, De
mccrat, elected from the Huntsville district, over
William Acklen and b T. Pope, all Democrats.
Inge, Democrat, elected over Murphy, Wing,
and 10 succeed w. w. Payne. (The Wings
were confident Of this dislricl) George S. Hous-
ION, Democrat reelected from the Florence dis
trict over David Hubbard, Democrat. Bowden,
Democrat, reelected over Rice, independent
Taylor DEMOCRACY Phillips and Garrett, all De-
mocrals. In the Legislature The House will be
largely Democratic.
The result in Alabama will be Democratic
Governor, Democratic Legislature, and five cut
Of seven Democratic members OF Congress.
TENNESSEE.
The Nashville Wing states that the gain OF The
Wing candidate for Governor in the counties Of
Sumner, Davidson Rutherford, Bedford, Robert
son and Williamson, as compared with the last
Governors election, when The present Democrat
ic incumbent was elected BY l54I majority is
about 3i6 votes.
The Knoxville Register claims Wing gain
OF 202 n Knox counly-and in Hamilton coun-
ty we hear Of Democratic gain Of l25; making
melt Wing gain OF 4lo in eight counties.
The Baltimore American says that the Demo
erals have elected four members Of Congress;
viz: D. Peyton, B. L. Clarke, Judge Richard
French and Lynn Boyd. This is nett Demo-
cratic gain of one.
NORTH CAROLINA.
In the Raleigh DISTRICT. R. ]. Daniel, Dem,
reelected by SOB majority over Arlington Onde-
pendent Democra) and Toole, (Taylor Demo-
crat)
In the Caswell district, A. w. Venable, DEM,
elected by Ill majority over Kerr, Wig. The
Wings fondly counted on success.
In the seventh disrict,J. J. Mckay, DEM, re-
elected over Bryan, D., and Hall, w.
The other six districts have, we presume, cleo
ted Wings under the odious Rayncrmander.-
They will be in the Isl, Clingman or Bynum; in
The Cd, Boyden or Boyle; in The Sd, D. M. Bar
ringer; in the 4th, A. Fl. Shepherd, opposed by ].
L. Clemmons in the 9Th, Richard S. Donnell,
Though The Raleigh Standard has some ground
for hoping for the success of VIM. X. Lane, D.;
and in The 9th, David Outlaw, beating Colonel
Biggs, Dem.
Upon The whole, the Democrats have done as
well as we expected better than the Wings
calculated.
KENTUCKY
From The HopkinsuHic Free Press, dug. 5
The figures from Muhenburg Henderson,
and the result in this county, together with The
best calculations we can make, give US full hope
that we have carried this congressional district
by a majority not much short of 800 for DR..
Peylon. We most anxiously look for full re-
turns confidently expecting 10 cry the note Of lri.
umph in our next issue.
The Wings 10 The Russellvie district give up
,ha. Clark is elected.
Boyd Peyton and Clarke congressional dele
gates from the Green river county. GloIyi-
This wonld be triumph indeed.
TopD -Consress:-Clark d. 400
Todd (W) S75.
ClaTks election, we conceive is certain. His
majority in Todd al the close Of The polls was Is.
Todd acknowledged at Elkton yesterday that he
was defeated, unless Todd county gave him $50
majority.
Barren counfy-Clarke 2s6 head.
The Bowling Green Argus of The 18th Au-
gust says that from The very bes! advices, we
have very little doubt OF the election Of B. L.
CLARK, Esq, the Democratic candidate. II this
shall prove TO be The result, il may be attributable
Justly TO two main causes-lhe unpopularity OF
Colonel Todd, and the Wing course on the Mexi-
can war question.
The best information we have been able TO
gather from the diferen, counties of the district,
induces the belief, that Clark is elected by l39
majority.
Rumors are aHoat that Clark's majority in
Monroe is 800 II so, Clark's majority will be
sweled 10 about 289.
Second District-The best and most reliable
news we have, is favorable 10 the success Of DR..
Peyton ID over WaddiI (W.)
INDIANA.
Owen is defeated by local causes Henley,
Robinson, Dobson, Wick, Petit, (by 300 majo.
rlly,) and Calhcarl, Democrats. and Smith and
Thompson, Wings, are elected. We have not
full returns from The 10Th district, but we pre-
sumo there is no doubt Of the election Of Rock
hill, Democrat.
The n. Y. Express gives an Interesting sketch
of debate in the British House OF Commons on
the subject oflhc African slave-trade. The impor,
lant fact was elected, that under The very expensive
treaty between Great Britain The United States and
France, 10 keep squadron on The coast of Africa
10 watch and capture slavers, the Ubiquitous traffic
still continues with undated vigor. The evil, con-
tends the Express, can never be remedied, as long
as The erea, demand for slaves in Cuba and Bra
I'll is allowed TO be supplied. These are The Two
great slave markets. Check Tie current OF traffic
10 these two points and The atrocious evil will die
out
