THE ELECTIONS.

TENNESSEE. This State cast her vote for
Gen. Taylor by 6O0o majority. The slovocrutic
locos have now elected their Governor by about
5000, and gained two members Of Congress
Why? Here are the sole reasons and let the
facts ring through every free State The locofocos
took The Calhoun and MULTIPLICATION PRO.
SLAVERY GROUND and accused The Admin
isiration of ABOLITIoNISM: The Whigs repu-
dated Notification, p,an(uily duotoed The ANTI
VETO POLICY Of Gen. Taylor on This subject,
and asserted THAT HE OUGHT TO SIGN
THE WTLMOT PROvISO If passed BY Con-
gress. Free soilcrs of Vermont will you join
the slauocraiic legions of Tennessee iocotocos a.
gainst the administration, or will you act rather
with those noble Wings of the South who repu
diate the slavocratic test? Judge ye.
KENTUCKY Here, too, the savocratlc test
has been earnestly pushed by the locofocos.-
Wherever a Wing candidate was known to be
favorable to Freedom, pro slavery men have been
arrayed against him. AS a consequence we
have to record the loss of one Wing member of
Congress Major Gaines is beaten by Stanton, a
locofoco slavocrat. This district gave Taylor
300 majority, and has elected Stanton by 400 {:
thus proving that slavocratic Wings have joined
the opposition to the administration. Let the
free soil Wings of Vermont accept the challenge
and rally to the support of that administration
which slavocrats oppose. The Wings have a
majority in the Legislature. The Convention is
nearly equally divided between Wings and 10.
cos, but is largely pro slavery, -slavocrats of
both parties having loved slavery more than po-
liticul preferences.
INDIANA. Locofoco as usual. Probably two
Wing members of Congress lost The Legsla-
turc is loco by small majority.
NoRTH CAROLINA. Still Wing glorious
Wing, in spite of the slavocracy. Stanly was
hard pushed, because he has always voted a.
gainst the gag-rule &c. For this reason, he has
lost about 500 votes, but still he succeeds by
from 80 to 100 majority.
The New York Tribune says:
We have rarely felt greater pleasure in recor-
ding the election OF any one Member of Con-
gress than we now have in announcing that Ed
wnrd Stanlv is chosen to represent the With
District of North Carolina by above one hun.
dred majority. True, that is much less than the
righlfnl Wing majority in the District, but we
could not and did not ask for more han his bare
election. He had M chance 10 bring out the
whole Wing strength Another candidate had
originally been nominated, but was prevented
from canvassing by illness, leaving the field
completely to his Lrco Foco competitor. Final
ly, Mr.. Bryan declined. his health sul failing,
aud Mr.. Slanly was nominated in his stead
| Mr.. Lanes start of several weeks was Il great
advantage; but that would have been easily o.
vercome but for the cry OF Abolition and trail
tor to the South raised against Mr. Stunly be-
cause he had repeatedly, when before in Con-
gresS, voted against Gag-Laws and other ultra
Slavery measures THIS cry was not started
without pretext nor raised without effect. Mr.
Stany has p ob1by lost five hundred votes by
it, but lie has enough left He will be enthusi-
asically W. lcpred back to Congress by Wings
from all sections of the Union.
NORTH Carolina has thus exceed our esti
mate, electing six Wings 10 three Loco Focos
to The next House-as follows:
