ELECTlON NEWS.
New YoRK.-All the counties, except Kings,
have at length been officially heard from and The
summing up leaves Mr.. Hunt majority OF three
hundred and fifty votes. He is elected. Some of
the Wing candidates for other State Offices on the
same ticket fell short of an election.
MAssAcHUsETTs.-The vote for Governor in
3OS towns is: Briggs, Wing, SO, 9S3 Boutwell,,
DEM, 35.454; Phillips, Free-Soil, 27,3s9. The
vote for Mr.. Briggs is already within two or three
hundred OF his entire vote in the whole State last
year. There is, however, an increase of 1000 in
the Democratic vote, and Of 1900 in that of the
FreeSoers. II is this fact which presents so great
an apparent Wing loss.
The people having failed to elect Governor,
the duty of making the selection will be devolved
on the Senate, in which, we regret to say, by
means OF coalition between the Democrats and
Free-Sollers, the Opposition has already obtained
a majority. We apprehend also that the political
complexion of the House is somewhat doubtful.
Some OF the papers state that it is understood
between the Coalition Senators that they are to
divide the fruits of their victory by electing the
Democratic candidate Governor, and eecting the
Free-Soil candidate to the United States Senate in
place of Mr. WINTHROP.
Only three Representatives to Congress have
MANN, and ORIN FOWLER, none of them Demo-
Gratis. In the I'd, Sd, 4th, 5.h 9th, 7,h, and 10Th
districts there is no choice.
New JERSEY ELEcTIoN.-The Trenton State
Gazette brings the gratifying intelligence that
the official returns from Burlington county elect the
whole Whig Assembly ticket. Also that the hg
member is elected in Morris county. The Gazette
says aThese changes will reduce the majority oi
our opponents in the Assembly to four; or if Mr.
Hoxsey, of Passaic, be counted in the minority,
the majority is reduced to two. In the Senate there
/ is tie."
/ VERMONT SPECIAL ELEcTIoN.-Full returns of
the second trial 70 choose a member of Congress
in the southern district Of Vermont prove the
success Of AHIM4N l.. MINER, Whg. The contest
was between him and Mr.. LYMAN, also Whig-a
plurality electing The Democratic candidate fell
1000 below either of them. Mr.. Miners plu-
rality in the whdle district is 247.
WIscoNsIN.-+In the second district Of this State
BENJAMIN G. EASTMAN (Dem.) is elected. Ii is
now represented by Mr.. Cole, (Whig) In the
other two districts, Messrs. DURKEE and DoTY are
elected as heretofore stated The Democrats
will have twenty majority in the State Legislature,
securing to the party the United States Senator in
the place Of Mr.. DoDeE, (Dem.) whose term will
expire in March next.
DELAWARE AS we apprehended, the Demo-
Gratis, aided by the Temperance ticket, have car
ried the Stale Of Delaware. They have elected
their Governor, Member of Congress, and ma
orily of the State Legislature which will give them
also United States Senator.
Their majority for Governor is seventeen votes.
The majority for Mr.. RIDDLE, for Congress, is
100. The temperance vote in Newcastle county
was about three hundred to which is attributed the
defeat of the Wing ticket. Is it not strange iha.
the Wings will permit themselves to be duped by
every third party that is brought to bear upon an
election?
ILLINoIs.-Six Democrats and one Whg have
been elected to Congress in Illinois-the same as
in the presenl Congress.
