nominee, in order to break up the or
ganization OF the Union party. we
have given greatly reduced vote:
There was but little interest manifested
by the Union men in the election;
Doddridge will do better another time
The election returns of Morgan coun-
~ show that the Union ticket is elected.
For State Senator, John Dawson has
I72 majority; for Delegate, J. Rufus
Smith has % majority; for Superin-
tendent OF Free Schools, j. Rufus
Smith Jhas majority.
The following is the vote in Jefferson
county: For Senate, Hon. Joseph a.
Chapline, Republican nominee, re-
ceived 10 votes Reed, Democrat, 100.
House, Billmyer, (R.) l5e; Chambers,
(R.) 100; Spangler, Ind) l09; Wilson
(Ind.) $50.
1t seems by the returns from Hamp-
shire that the Union party has gained
a member of the House from that coun-
ty. The whole vote cast was $40, of
which Mr.. Largent received 30 and
Mr.. Pownall the balance OF the re-
suit the Romney Intelligence, tDem)
says:
"Our readers generally are probably
advised already that the election for
the Legislature, in this county, has re-
suited in favor Of John Largent, over
A. II. PownalI, by fair majority. 1t
is well known that the vote OF the Rad
icals (proper) was cast for Largent,
while the Conservatives generally voted
for Pownall. But the writer of this
paper, Filling the Editors chair during
his respected friend and neighbours alb
sence,j is not prepared to give John
I,arGent to the Radicals, regarding him
as a man tar TOO rational and prudent
to support extreme and violent opin-
ions, such as the leaders Of that party
dUoiC No, we have reason to hope
that, in the Legislature, our member
elect Will form opinions on public q ues-
tious, as deliberately as he Will express
them tempeTdtciy, while, on questions
touching the interests of Old Hamp-
shire, he will serve her as II best be-
co mes IA true and faithful son of hers
toIdo.
The foregoing may be considered as
graceful acknowledgment of defeat.
Evidently Mr.. Largent was not the
choice of those who voted for Pownall,
owing, perhaps. to his being such
man as the Unionists were willing to
vote for.
From the Kanawha Valley we have
very little news. The -Kauawha Jour
nal of the 3Oth. six days after the cleo
ton, is to hand. but with no returns
from Mason, jackson, Clay, Nicholas,
Monroe or Greenbrier. 1t seems that
Mcwhorter (Union,) and Cole (Dem.,)
are elected to the House from Kanawha
county. The vote is materially less
than last year. 1t stands for McWhor-
ter 6I5, and for Cole 593. The latter has
3 majority over Cunningham, the other
Union candidate.
AS already stated, James II. Fergu-
son is returned 10 the House from the
delegate district composed OF the coun-
ties of Cabell and Lincoln. His major
ity in the two counties is ~, over Lewis
Hinchman Qnd.)
The Journal comedies the election OF
Bumgarner CDem..) over Dix lUnion,)
to the Senate in that lthe 7th) district.
The counties composing the district are
Mason, Putnam, KanAwha, Clay and
Nicholas. Speaking of the small vote
cast in Kanawha county, it says:
The official vote, which we give in
another column, shows that not less
than $50 Union men, who voted Tor
foreman last fall, stayed away from the
polls Mt the election on last Thursday.
The Conservatives, by painting oil
quasi Union men on their ticket, and
by other devices, among which WAS the
secu ring of the registration of number
OF persons who served in the rebel
army, and the irrepressible cry of mig
II 4
votes than were given for Colonel Ben.
Smith last fall. So the Union men OF
KHnHwha have themselves TO blame for
sending a Conservative Delegate in
place OF Cunningham, and for securing
the election OF Bumgarner instead of
d. Ii. X. Dix.
The Elizabeth (Wirt county, Gazette
says:
The Democrats gained delegate in
this county, and also one in Brooke,
both OF which have elected Democratic
Delegates for the first time. Wood and
Jackson counties each, gave Foster,
Republican, for State Senate, a MAORI
ty Of a about 500. The other counties of
the District we have not yet heard from.
The Fairmont Yedette says that 1.-THE
Conservatives got ashamed of their
name, and headed their ticket the
'Irrus Union ticket" They ought to be
ashamed OF themselves.
The Berkeley Union, speaking of the
defeat OF DIR. Dorsey in Marion county.
says:
We are very sorry to hear OF the de-
feat of our friend, DR.. Dorsey, the regu-
lar Union candidate in Marion county.
The Doctor would have made very
able delegate. He is Il fast friend of
progress; perhaps little Hhend of even
our most radical in politics, aud in ev-
cry sense a most excellent and worthy
gentleman.
The Wellsburg Herald has long
article on the result in Brooke county.
1t says:
circumstances were against us; they
may not be next time. Our opponents
were Jealous and heartily in earnest.
A good many of them had private
spites 10 avenge in II public way
Every Democrat who was sent to Camp
Chase, every one who was warned 10
behave himself or he would go, every
Young Democrat who fled to Canada,
and every old Democrat who paid his
war tax with Erumbling, that saved
his progeny from the draft every civil
ian who wanted an office and didn't
get ii, or having gotten that, didn't get
IA better one; every returned soldier
who was not promoted as high as he
expected; every man whose vote was
put in peril by the Registration law;
every man whose pride was humbled
by the low estimation in which reb
els were held hereabOutS, and who,
during the war, Stunned the polls and
the company OF loyal people; every one
OF this disgruntled. oppressed, down.
irodden mass of Democrats and rene:
gade Republicans, had a personal feel
! ing in the matter and they labored and
spent themselves with an aSsiduity and
| devotion worthy OF good cause. On
