The EXPRESS gives the following summary for
members of Congress: Old, or 3lst Congress- 81
Whigs, Democrat Freesoiler; new or 52d Con-
qress. IS Wings, 16 Democrats, and Freesoer.
The Democrats have therefore gained Is members.
The Whigs sad have maorities IN both branches
of the Legislature
We shall give the names of the members elect in
our next with some reflections the result.
New JERSEY. The Democrats have elected their
candidate for Governor (Mr. For) in this State, by
1000 majority, and secured majority in both branch
es of the Legislature. They have also gained four
members Of Congress. The names of the members
elect are Nathan h Sratton, Charles Shelton, Isaac
Wildrick, X. NJ. Price, Democrats, and G. H. Brown,
Wing.
WISCONSIN. Charles Durkee, Abolitionist, has
been reelected from the Ist District, by $500 ma
iority. The Democrats generally voted for A. +.
Elmore Democrat, and the Wings for Mr.. Durkee. |
In the ID District Eastman, Democrat, is elected and
in the Sd District James D. Doty independent Dem
ocrat,) is reelected. Mr.. Doy voteI against the |
Fugitive Slave I.aw-the Democrats of his District
called Convention and ruled him off nominating
sound man in his stead but he has beaten the reg
ular nominee 1000 votes!
The Legislature of Wisconsin is largely Demo-
cratic.
MICHIGAN. E. ]. Penniman and James L. Conger,
Abolition Wings, have been elected to Congress from
the LIST and Sd Districts. by large majorities-the I'd
District in doubt. Penniman, who is vile Adolf !
tionist has beaten Mr. Buell., Democrat, who voted |
for the Fugitive Slave Law. Our Democratic friends
in Michigan generally stood up for the Fugitive Slave
Law, but they have fallen before the tide Of Adolf
tionism. Gen. Cass exerted himself manlully, and
his organ, the Detroit Free Press, put forth all its
energies for the Constitution and the law but all
this was of no avail.
These returns, for the most part, of the most
gloomy character. New York, Wisconsin, and
Michigan may be set down opposed to the Fugitive
Slave Law. Nine-tenths of the members from these
States will no doubt vote for its repeal. |
Massachusetts voted Monday last for State Off
GERS and members of Congress. The test in that
that law has no doubt carried every thing before it.
EPfscoPAL CONVENTION. We see it stated that
special meeting of the Protestant Episcopal Conven-
ton of the New York diocese is called for the 9th
OF November, in st. Johns Chapel in New York
city, to take into consideration the canon pa ssed by
the late General Convention, authorizing the election
OF provisional Bishop where the regular Bi shop of
the diocese is indefinitely suspended.
AMIN BEv HIS MARRIAGE RELATIONS. 1t has
beenvery generally stated that Amin Bey the Turkish
Envoy, now on visit to this country, had sic wives
plurality of wives being allowed by the laws of
his native country. He has, however, requested the
editor of the Christian Wachnan to correct the state
ment, and to say that he has but one wife,
Some of the papers of Middle Tennessee think
the price of corn in that region will be from 90 to 25
cents per bushel. The Louisville Journal of the
22d ultimo, quotes new corn al 35 to 40 cents per
bushel. They must have made pretty good crops in
those " settlements"
