The Third District.
We give 10 day the table of the Congressional
vote in The third district. and they elect the Re-
publican candidate, E. B. French. Our oppo-
nents, the friends of Mr.. johnson, have con.
tested this district in every possible shape, and
swore terribly, like the army in Flanders, that
Johnson could not be counted to less than
twenty-five majority. But they have been com.
pelled 10 give up (; and now they are proving
about the district to hunt up, if possible, any
case Of nformsliiy or illegaEty in the separate
votes So much money has already been
spent by the opposition to elect johnson, that
they are disposed to spend something mere, in
order 10 defeat Mr.. French. Our request of
every Repu blcan in the third district is, that
they be vigiaut in looking into every case of
illegal voting, and bear the case in mind, and
be prepared to have it thorou ghly investigated.
The majority for Mr.. French is ffty.six.
The Sixth Congressional District
We have carefully arranged the vote of the
sxh district, and given all the claimed and
reported votes for Bradbury, and still Foster is
elected. AS a specimen of what we have ad
mit:ed TO our table, we would refer to the plant

elect him; and still Foster leads the majority
by nearly two hundred, and is elected.
Senator Clay, of Alabama, lately addressed
letter 20 his constituents, closing lugubrious-
~, as follows:
" | apprehend it will require greater unanim-
ity IN the South than has characterize ed our
past political struggles, to save her from gross
wrong by the next Congress, or from the tri-
umph of Black Republicsnism in the next
Presidential contest. The sectional battles
about Kansas will be renewed, probably at the
next session of Congress-when application
for her admission as non-slaveholdiDg State
will be made-snd will be continued until she
is added to the already preponderant North

George Washington, Thomas Jefferson,
John Jay of New York, and Henry Clay, were
all shareholders; they were all advocates of
emancipation, and would all be hypocrites, &C.
cording to the legic of the Hegro Democracy
OF the day. The truth is, that emancipation is
urged BY some from religious and conscientious
sctuples on the subject of slaveholding, by
others from considerations of economy, and by
others again from political considerations. All
OF these different views were well worthy of
beng weighed, and, as they all tend to the same
object, cannot see why those who urge eman-
clpalon on one ground should take issue with
those who advocate it from other motives. For
my part, have alweys given greater weight to

iuons, holding as | do that the institution is
