lii ll0lisc, tho Representative from |
lho.r Statcs were divided INTO thirty he
'"oor,tr and seven opposition, that
Americans.
Alabama was aolidly Democratic in the
last Congress, and will be so in this
showing a personal change only, we be
lieve. in two members of the delegation.
Opposition candidates were run in some !
of the districts, but the votes Were prob |
ably rather scarce
In the last Congress, Kentucky had
eight Administration to two opposition
Congressman. Our last dispatches an
nounce that four opposition are certainly
elected and in one district there is a tie.
Tennessee, which stood Democrats to
3 opposition in the last Congress, will
now be one better for the opposition, at
least, aud possibly thee better We re-
greet 20 learn thar Emerson Etheridge is
defeated he is worthy Of better fate in
these times, But he made gallant fig ht
as indeed did the whole opposition party
of Tennessee. Unlike the opposition Of
Kentucky. they fought the campaign upon
sincere, conservative, patriotic grounds,
and they have. their reward IN II good
measure of success.
North Carolina had among her eight
Representative in the last Congress, two
opposition members, John A. Gilmer and
H. b Vance Gimera election, hv an
increased majority is announced, and
Vance is probably reelected. In the first
district, Smith, the opposition candidate
is elected ever Shaw, who had but SO
majority AT the last election. In the
sixth district it IL thought that Leach, op.
position, had been elected. These are
opposition gains, and will make the dele
cation stand 4 opposition and admins
tration.
Texas will have. ns before two Demo.
Gratis. One of them, Reagan, has been
supported by the friends of Sam Honsron
on the anti-slave trade issue
! II will thus be seen that our data is yet
Insult tent for giving the aggrt gate polit-
/ icai results OF these Congressional cleo.
tons The returns come in very slowly
and in some districts the vote is close.
Perhaps, however, we may not err much
if, from present indications, we estimate
the delegations Of the several States as
follows Alabama, Administration /;
Kentucky. 6 Administration and Oppo-
sition Tennessee, 6 Administration and
4 Opposition North Carolina, Ad.
ministration and 4 Opposition Texas, .
Notwithstanding in the aggregate
25 Administration to IL Opposition. This
would be gain Of three to the Opposi-
ton ranks. Whether these may prove
the right figures or not, it is manifest that
the Southern Democratic strength in Con-
gross is losing rather than gaining, in
passing from the Both to the Seth Con,
