On Monday the eth Of August, Elections will be
held in five States OF our Union as follows
Keatucly--Governor, L. and Legislature
Acknowledgements only
Ilia0is-Govornor Menbs. Congress and Legislature
Nssowt-Gov. Membs Congress and Legislature
I0cd-Nembs Congress and Legislature
Alabama holds her State Election the same day
but bienially-none this year
Norm Caroline elects Governor and Legislature on
the first Thursday 80 Of August and s Of course the
first 10 be heard from Tennessee also holds her state
Election on the first Thursday in August but benniay
not this year
United States Sea0tors for six years from next
month depend on the complexion OF the Legisls-
lures now to be chosen as follows;
Kswueky, VI e John ]. Crittenden, Wig
North Carolina vice Geo. l.. Badger do
Indiana vice Edward A. flanagan, Loco.
Missouri, vice David X. Atchison, do.
Hlis0is vice Sidney Breese, do.
Iopo both-none having yet been chosen
Alabama has also a Senator TO choose, but by
the existing (Loco-Foco) Legislature.
In Kentucky, the contest for Governor is very
spirited, the candidates being John j. Crittenden,
Wing, and Lazarus w Powell, Loco. The friends
OF the latter cherish hopes that Crittenden may
be beaten, through the influence OF dsahecton TO-
ward him ON the part of Mr.. Clay ardent friends
Mr.. Crttenden having been very influential in
procuring Gen. Tsylors nomination Mr.. Critten
den suffers also for having refused 10 vote last
year for the Constitutional Convention which is
very popular We should not be astonshed TO
hear of his defeat, though it is not probable The
Legislature will almost inevitably be Wing.
81,
nor Charles Manly, Wing, by a strong majority
over David s. Reid, Loco. Legislature probably
Wing also.
Indiana we don't pretend to see through. There
are a good many Free Soil revolters against
Gen. Taylor among the Wings, and probably some
gain to him from the Locos, but how either party
will be affected in the State Election we do not
guess Call il about
Iora is another close fit at present Gen. Tay-
Iors nomination pas to sweep everything there
and insure two Wing U. S. Senators. We hope
it will, but the latest advices do not talk conf
IDENTIFY.
Illinois and Missouri will doubtless elect Loco
Foco Governors and Lieutenants, the Wings hav-
ing settled on no candidates in the former aud the
latter being, as we all know, Missouri and moth
ing else. Illinois, however, is the theater OF some
pretty spirited csnvassng for Congress, especially
toward the North end. The Wing candidates so
far as we have noted, are
Dist. II .SAnL ID MARSHALL, now MClernsnd Loco.
Ill. .GEoRoE NJ HANSON, now Ficklin Loco
vi. YouNG ScAMMos, now Wentworth, Loco.
vi. Col EDWARD ID. BAKER, now Turner, Loco.
VII. STEPHEN T LOGAN, now Lincoln, Wing.
We confidently expect the election OF Logan,
and hope for that of Baker and Scammon. Col.
Bakers district is naturally close one, only lost
two years since by the vote of the Mormons at
Nauvoo who have since left Col. h took hand
in the Monterey campaign, and probably made
some friends among the Volunteers, OF whom
Illinois furnished her full quota MIR. Scammon is
eminently esteemed as lawyer and beloved as
n man, and has fair chance to run in between
Wentworth and Thomas, rival Loco-Foco candi-
dates We believe Mr. 5. is now canvassing the
district, which is very large one. Ii Wings sup
port him as he deserves he must be successful
We should have stated that the Liberty
Party have candidates for Congress. VIZ
