ty for Governor is three thousand ono hundred
and sixty. The remaining counties, il is thought,

The whole majority in The State upwards Of 1000.
This is very gratifying result, in view OF The
humbug cry Of "censure OF Gen. Taylor" raised
by The Wings. Bealen on all their professed prin-
ciples, they were forced in desperation 10 resort
10 misrep reservations Of The war and the assumed
"censure" oil the Democrats Of Congress towards
Gen. Taylor. To show how little the great is
sues of the two parties had TO do with the late
election in Alabama, il is only necessary 10 refer
to The fact thai, Of the Two Wings elected 10 Con-
gross, one of them voted for The Democratic Ia
riff OF 1876, and is thoroughly opposed 10 "pro-
lection," and both OF them are for vigorous pro-
scculion Of The war.

elected in The Mobile District over Taylor, D., by
$50; Hlliard, Free Trade Wing, without oppo.
sition; Harris, D., by large majority over
Mudd, W., and Walker, Ind Democrat; Inge,
D., by lGs over Murphy, w; This district
was warmly contested, and confidently claimed
by the Wings. Mr.. lnee is represented as gen.

While The Wings are boaslins Of their heavy
gains in some OF The districts, il is but lair 10 re-
fer TO The extraordinary changes in favor Of The
Democratic parry in some OF The districts, con-
necled with The course Of The Wings on The war
and other causes. In The second Henderson
district, TWO year, ago. McHenry, Wing, had a
majority Of 685-nOv, Pey'on. Dem., is said, upon
good authority, to he elected over WaddlI, w.
So, in the third (Banen) district, Orders (Whg)
majority, Two years ago, was l,l73-now. ii is
thought that Clarke, DEM, is elected over Todd,
Wing.
