The KENTUCKY ELECTION AND TINS Days
ELECTION IN TENNEssEE.-The returns thus far

Indeed, the defeat of Goggin in Virginia, with
somewhat convincing array of the election re

attempting to cut under the democracy as the
champion of slavery. In the border slave States
the people are not disposed to follow Southern

fanaticism
