upwards Of 5000, and forming themselves
into procession with torches, transparencies |
hammers, flags, &c, marched through the |

The Late Election.
From the official returns of the recent cleo

for Governor was 23,747, Of which John r.

1929. The total vste for Representative in !
Congress was %, ,s56, Of which 1852 were 1
east for Jas. Williams, Esq, and II ,024 for g
Hon. Jas. R. Lofand. From this it appears
there were 81 votes more poled for Governor i
than for Congressman, yet so unpopular was l.
Major Loaand, perhaps on account Of his c
rourse in regard to the Civil Rights bill, that 8
his competitors majority over him was 379 :
votes greater than Mr.. Cochran's over DR..
