i whig Governor by the people.
f MISSISSIPPI.
Mississippi has elected the gallant Quit
man, Governor by an overwhelming ma
| jority. The Legislature is Democratic il
both branches and the last coon has beel
driven from his seat in Congress, and. tn
whole delegation is now Democratic. tN
MICHIGAN.
The Peninsular State, at the late elec
ton, was the scene of fierce and des
perate battle. The advocates of south
ern slavery united with professed fret
soilers for the sake Of the spoils, and botl
waged bitter war against the Democracy
:, and the allied forces sustained defea
which will teach them that honesty is the
best policy. Barry, Dem. is elected Gov.
ernor by four or five thousand majority
; and the Legislature is Democratic in both
branches. s' -' '7..e. sag t
LOUISIANA. ~"
| The State of Louisiana is the home o.
Gen. Taylor and gave him her electoral
vote in l848, by a large majority. Three
Democrats, to one whig, are elected to
Congress and the Democratic Governor is
elected by handsome majority, and from
the news received, the Legislature is Dem.
ocratic.
NEW YORK.
At the last Presidential election, Gen.
Taylor carried the Empire State by ma
|jority over Gen. Cass of 1O4,285-the
largest majority ever given in any State,
for Presidential candidate. One year
has rolled round, and that majority of over
one hundred thousand votes, has sunk to
aminority. Atthe late election, the Demo-
cracy have carried one-half of the State
ticket, and have decided majority in the
Legislature, and by another year, when the
union of the Democracy is perfected, they
will sweep the State of the last vestage of
Taylor whggery. The reputation of
promise-the high toned federal acts of
the Administration, has restored harmony
to the ranks Of the divided Democracy,
and whiggery sees the hand writing on the
wall, which tells it that it has been weigh
ed in the balance and found wanting.
NEW JERSEY.
The Jersey blues, too have come! At
the late election that State, in despite of
the Infamous gerrymander Of whiggery,
the Democracy have gained largelyin the
of members elected to the Legs-
lature, and on the popular vote the State is
decidedly Democratic.
The other States which have voted, Ken !
lucky, Tennessee, Pennsylvania, &c. &C.,
nave all shown that Taylor whiggery is in
l used up condition. Kentucky has elect.
I'd majority Of Democrats to her Consti-
utional Convention-Tennessee has elect
ID the gallant Trousdale Governor and
With him Congressional delegation of
even Democrats, to four wings, while
has elected her democratic
janal Commissioner by an overwhelming
Majority, and has gained Democratic
majority in both branches of the Legisla-
ure.
A little over eight months ago, Gen.
Taylor was inaugurated as President of
he United States, by large majority of
he popular vote, and a handsome ma or-
y Of the electoral vote. He is now in
eariul minority IN the Union, ana MS pros
ects Of regaining lost strength are grow
nc beautifully less every day. He made
for the sake Of votes, that he has
allied to redeem, and indecision, folly and
madness seems to govern his every act.
lc was unfit for the station, and he has
gathered around him, mere partisans who
o accomplish their own sinister ends, have
made the Administration the laughing stock
# its enemies, and caused the flush of
hame to crimson the cheek of its friends.
Never had a President brighter prospects
'efore him, but eight months has served to
how the folly and vileness Of whiggery,
md the people have already passed judg-
nent upon it, and so will it ever be, with
hose who gain power by fraud end false
lood, for "Truth is omnipotent end public
ustice certain. ."-Ohio Statesman.
