"The smoke of another hard fought political battle has

"For the sake of the country, and for the covering Of
Martin Van Buren, with the Rocky Mountains, would
be glad to compromise effected this winter; but to
witness the tragic end of southern whgery, and the po

compromise last winter, could almost desire to see it
postponed One thing is certain. President Polk will
not sign their Wilmot Provso bills and the great proba

have been 500, instead of ai5. In 1914 we gave 1871
majority; this fall gave 345, making the wing gain
in the county Just 46. Please correct this This is a
glorious majority considering the 300 changes in favor
of Taylor which letter writers would have us believe
had taken place in the county The wing vote increased
le--not from ranks, but from increased wing
population about our towns. We failed to poll as many
democratic votes did in 1914. We remain firm

WIscossIN-The "Daily Wisconsin" of the 18th,
says:
"Tbe returns are sufficiently received to enable us to
state that of Wisconsin has been for Lewis

Triumph is the memorable in political history.

MrssIssTprI-The Mssissppan of the 18th instant
has an ominous giving cut:
ave have not sufficient official reported to
enable positively the result of the election in this

are led the conclusion that Mississippi has given hel
vote to TAYLOR and Fillmore. From the official
contained in table, it will be perceived that large and
Astounding have been made to the ranks of

showing that the wings have gained in every congress

the State is 2,972." ilas
ALABAMA-The New York Journal of Commerce says
that the majority for Cass is about 1919.
The New York Evening Post says that "ihe number
Of votes poled at the presidential election will probably
fall short of the vote Of 1874 by a large number
OF the popular vote which was cast, Taylor will fall
greatly short of majority. This fact should be warn
