The State election of Monday last
has resulted, as was anticipated, in
"a large majority for Helm and those
associated with him on the Demo

elect was, during the entire war of

alton for.the national triumph.

Governor, has uniformly adhered to

O. Breckinridge. His fealty to the
lost cause is beyond question. 4: .t

in the Confederate cause. gs.glsaj
