Election Results.

Our readers will pardon usfor the meagre
returns with which they have been supplied
by the Reporter. One aud the most important
reason consists in the want of reliability 10 be
placed, as general thing on the non official
results We have therefore preferred to wait
until we can obtain of the Secretary OF State,
the full and official returns, which we shall
probably be enabled to do by next week at the
farthest, and at She same time, furnish list OF
the members of tue next General Assembly
and the complexion they wear.
At latest advices, the Senate stood Is Wings
to Is Democrats, and one District composed OF
Polk and other counties to be heard from, rem.
dering whig majority Of one not at all i'm
probable.
The HOUSE will undoubtedly have r.ajori
ty Of half dozen and rising.
"Oh! Jordan am hard road IT, trabbel belsbe"
Hampstead is detected and Hall, more fortu-
nate. elected probably by TIE skin Of his teeth.
ou. State ticket, We yet hope. may come out
triumphant. although there is some doubt as I'd
the Authorship and Sonnet will run Cloud
pretty close for the Attorney Generalship. The
Hon. Mr. Sharp was In town last week and is
fully aware ofthe position in which he has beer

no weyer to his fate, II fated to defeat the same
with us. and derives the same encouragement
for the future from the quicksand nature of the
grounds which our opposition have assumed
with euccsss this time, but will never find ten
able again.

have the original for voucher Of our honesty
1t is decidedly rich.
All we ask is,to what weight is the construc.
ton entitled, which men of like ilk with the
authors of this call, would put upon the Ne.
braska or any other Bill What rational view
Of the consttutionaity Of the "slavery clause,
would aman be apt 10 take, whose common
sense, however devoid of discipline or cult
walton, would permit him to spell purpose
"perpes 7" Yet the voice of such and similar, is
proclaimed as the outraged sentiment Of Iowa
denouncing the greatest "iniquity" Of the age.
What has triumphed then in the late election?
Coalition Whiggery and intelligence like the
following are now the socks Of the walk
they have .riumphed, and the adherents of the
constitution and the administration, have fall
len temporarily before :raitorous combinations,
and issues as novel as they arc little compre-
hended, or where comprehended, respected
But read gentlemen. you may take the head!
