The Elections.
KENTUCKY.

LOUISVILLE, Aug. s. l848.
A few more returns are received, which show
that the wings have done about as WELL thus far,
as in 1874, when Governor Owsley (whig) was
elected by 4,624 majority. There can be no doubt,
we think, from these indie tons, of Mr. Crltten-
denis election. He runs well in Green River dis
tlct.
LOUISVILLE, August 9-Midnight.
In Logan, Simpson, Monroe, Warren, and Har-
rlson counties, Crittenden (whig) has a majority
of 100.
1t is generally thought, that Crittenden's ma
jority will be about 1 200. There is no doubt of
his election by at least 5000 majority. ~
Benton county gives democratic majority of
400, and Boone wing majority of 40, which is
reported gain. Both of the above counties closed
their election to-day.

increase the same day of about 200.

complete; Powes majority, lSs.
ILLINOIS.
The principal interest in this election is re-
specting members of Congress. Returns show that
Baker Owing, and Mexican hero) is probably elect
ed in the Sangamon district, now represented by
Lincoln, (whig,) and that Logan (whg) has
fine prospect of success in the 10 Daviess dis
trict, now represented by democrat. There are
no returns of consequence from the other five
districts, which will probably elect democrats,
unless John Wentworth may be defeated IN the
Chicago district. Illinois, 1t Is well known, has
always been democratic, and no change is now
expected sufficient to change the Legislature,
which elects United States Senator
