Gen. c. NJ. Avery, Disunionist, elected by 36 ma
iority. friend who sends US the result reminds
us that Mr. Avery claimed in the Senate that three
fourths of his constituents were for disunion.-

ty, and that while the Union candidate was confined
to his bed by sickness for the greater portion Of the

majority, and we have no doubt Mcdowell has also
voted for the Union. Mr.. Avery has, therefore,
been repudiated by his own constituents.
