Every mail from Tennessee brings further and more
gratifying evidences Of democratic success The congress
sional delegation viii probably stand as follows:
!. Watkins, and-know-nothing whig.
g. Sneed know-nothing.
3. Smith, democrat
A. Savage, democrat
8. Ready, know-nothing
@. Jones, democrat
/. Wright democrat
8. ZolIicofer, know-nothing

-Four democrats, one anh-hnow-nothing wbig and five
w-nothings The last delegation stood, four demo-
Gratis and six wings hastily summing up the result of
the recent election in Tennessee the Nashville Union OF the
9th instant says:
Tbc legislature is still in doubt. In the last Legislature
there was wing majority OF t,pelue joint ballot As far
as heard FROM the democrats have gained nine and lost
fournet gain Ifhere other changes the know
nothngs will have majority in the next legsature-ten
less than the whigs were able to elect
soyernor Johnsons majority win not be much less than
two thousand votes and the remaining counties may IN
crease Il to about his former majority
High- minded wings who despse know nothingsm even
while they voted for its candidates, will find it no very
pleasant reflection that the wing party could have come
quite as beating the democracy as this knownothng
party has Such wings now see that they have
their old party organization TO be nsupea py a
in politics. who have neither the ability TO manage
canvass successfully the dignity to give organiza
| ton respectabiity.
Taking all the into consderation-cireum-
stances which shall hereafter review at lenghthere mas
been as great triumph achieved by any party IN this
State as that over which the democracy now rejoice
The Raleigh North Carolina) Standard of last Satur-
av mornings issue gives the result of the election in that
| State as follows:

The aggregate popular majority for the democrats
not be less than SEVEN THOUSAND! This result is a
stern and blasting rebuke of the dark ORDER and of the
prncped denagogues who have been conspicuous in the
midnight plot obtain the control of the Of the
State ally people with the abolition ownoth
and gratifying evidence of confidence the part Of the
people of the State in the administration of Franklin Pierce
We have nothing further from Alabama By telegraph.
The result of the election in Dowdes district is thus
nounced in the Montgomery Advertiser:
'The Of victory in this congressional district
be judged from the results of previous elections In 1910
the wing majority in the five counties 1857 in
eleven hundred and sixty nine and in 1885, twensx hun
dred and sixty In 1852 Pierce obtained majority of the
cast but the wings did not bring their organization
bear in favor of Scott. The democrats have always
conceded hg majority in the district of not less than
| thousand"
The latest well the most reliable intelligence from
Kentucky contained in the following from the Cncn-
natl Enquirer of Saturday morning last

knownothng candidate for governor, is $685. The official
county shows majority for Harris for Con
gress sl2 instead Of lio reported Trimbe county

Harris by several hundred majority The Louisville
Journal gives returns from counties in the fourth dis
trct, which give Talbot, antiknownothng 400 majority.

doubt elected Our from the sixth district meage
and favor of Elliott democrat The democrats have

1t has been asserted by the New York Herald and other
know-nohing organs that at the late election in Virginia
Mr. Wise ran two thousand behind his ticket
AS the assertion has been repeatedly used Of late show
Mr. Wses alleged want of strength with his political
socates hasten to impression injurious
him it is unjust the democratic party of Virginia
According to the official table published in the Richmond
Enquirer of the 9Th instant the columns foot up rs fol-
lows:
WISE democrat s3s2
Flournoy, know nothing 1874
For Lieutenant Governor
4 McComas, democrat SO Oss
/ Beale, know nothing II, $50
For Attorney General.
| Bocock, democrat 1871
Patton, know nothing 71,6I3
1t will be from the above recapulaton that while
Mr. Wise falls short of the democratic candidate for attor-
ney general 307 votes he ahead of the democratic
candidate for lieutenant governor 1856 voteswhich would
| make the average slightly in his favor
