Elections in Kentucky, Texas, Missouri, Ala
. hama and Tennessee. as..
The House Of Representatives OF Kentucky nil
be Democratic, but the Senate will be tied, owing
to the fact that several K. N. Senators hold over
under former elections.
The majority for Mr.. Garrard, the Democratic
Candidate for State Treasurer will be 900.
The Democrats have carried eight out of the ten
members of Congress.
In Texas the Democratic majority will be from
twelve to fifteen thousand. Runnels has defeated
Houston for Governor, and this, we presume, places
the latter in private life for the remainder of his
days. He deserted the old jackson party, and
"verily he hath his reward" All the members
elected to the Legislature are Democrats Texas
has two United States Senators to elect 1t is ru-
mored that Maj Ben. McCulloch will be one of
them.
The Washington Union thus sums up the result
in Tennessee:
"We had counted largely upon the generous and
enthusiastic democracy of Tennessee, but the result
thus far of their indomitabe efforts far exceeds our
most sanguine expectations. The indications are
that Notwithstanding the success which attended the
gerrymanderng efforts of the know nothings few
years ago. the democrats have carried both branches
of the State legislature by decided majorties thus
securing the election of too United States senator's
1t is believed that the majority for Gen. Harris the
democratic candidate for governor, will exceed ten
thousand.
The delegation to the next Congress will probably
stand seven democrats to three know nothings-a
democratic gain of two"
The Democrats have swept every thing in Ala
bama They have elected every member of Con-
gress. Even the City of Mobile, heretofore one of
the K. N. strongholds, has given majority of 400
for the Democrats
1t was thought at one time, that Rollins, the K.
N. and black Republican, had carried Missouri over
the Democratic candidate for Governor; but later
returns have placed the result in doubt. The
Western counties of the State bordering on Kansas
had not all been heard FROM They are largely
Democratic. Two years ago they saved the election
of Gov. Polk, after many of his friends had given it
up. The chances are now in favor of the Demo.

To give our readers some idea of the combinations
formed against the Democracy in Missouri Pennsyl-
vania, and other States We copy the following from
the Philadelphia San of Monday last The Sun
supports Wilmot for Governor, and Millward once
national X. N, for Canal Commissioner of Penn
sylvania. Black Republicanism, it seems has taken
firm hold in slaveholding State, and saveholding
K. Ms have bargained with and joined it in the
hope of defeating the Democracy! The San says
appealing to the straight Americans of Pennsy-
vania:
do you ever read the Ledger? You know it is a
Locofoco sheet, which always, in a covert way,
fights the battles of the pro-savery foreign party
Did you observe its quiet chuckle last Saturday
over the late democratic victories in the South?
You noticed that in speaking of Missouri the Ledger
said, the Republican element and the american
party scere arrayed against Ste,cart, Democrat for
| Gocernor." In the slaveholding State of Missouri
| the Americans and Republicans coalesced The
American candidate for Governor, Major Rollins,
| avowed Freesoil sentiments. This brought to his
support the rapidly growing Emancipation or Free
Labor party of Missouri The result that Missouri
| is almost redeemed. few more battles and Mis-

| State!
| Now, oh ye suky, cross grained brethren. don't
We rejoice at this result? In spite of your llhumor
don't We feel instnctively like throwing up your hats
| and hurraing for Missouri? 1t don't hurt you, does
| it, that Freesoil" helped Amercanism? That
| Freeso was its ally?
Well, now you don't live in Slave State. You
| are not Southern men, If then, your American
brethren in the South coalesced with and gladly
took the aid of the Republicans, why can't you do
| it here in Pennsylvania? Are you better Southern
| men, more national" than the American party of
the Slave State of Missouri? Why. bless your souls
| the Republicans don't want to hurt you. They
want to deal with you just they dealt with your
brethren in Mssouri-to help you to uistory! Come
now, get out of your sulks! You are good fellows
only you soon't breathe enough Of Pennsylvania
country air. Look at your brethren all over the
State-your thousands of brethren in this city, who
go strong and earnest for Union, Wilmot and Vic.
