ELECTION NEWS.


MIssoUm.-We have no news from this
State later than that published in our last.


ILLrNoIs.-The returns from this State
have come in very slowly, and as yet we
have heard from but eight counties, which
show very considerable Wing gain.


INDIANA.-We have heard from ffty-one
counties in this State, including most of the
large counties-and so far the Wings have
a majority of twenty-five on joint ballot
This majority will, perhaps, be slightly de-
creased by the counties yet to be heard
from, but there can be no doubt that the
Wings will be able to elect United States
Senator by very handsome majority.


NoRTm CARoLNA.-We have returns
from IA counties in this State, from which
it appears that the Wings have gained S
members in the Legislative body. The
gain in favor ofthe Wing candidate for Go
vernon, thus far, is nearly 2OO0 votes.

returns from % counties. The Wings
have elected 80 members to the Legislature,
and the Locos IA.


ALABAMA.-The Whig candidate for
]


Congress in the late Mr.. Lawer's distrc',
is no doubt elected by majority of from G
to 500 votes.

A stockholdcr in steam boats lets his OPT
mon out through the Vicksburg Sentinel.
He is opposed to the late law of Congress.
He wishes it repealed--and to accomplish
that end advises the propriety of having a
convention Of steam boat owners, to meet at
Louisville, Ky. on the LIST day of October,
as that is the time the law takes effect. He
proposes to raise the price of freight and
make an additional charge on passengers

lature has not been negligent in giving each
community the power to guard its own right,
and secure the peace of its citizens.
