THE QUESTION SRTTLKD.-Al the Summer and
Fall Elections (previous to the Presidential con-
test) are now over-with the exception OF South
Carolina and Arkansas, which, as Overwhelmingly
Democratic. OF course, are immaterial to our pre-
sent purpose. The time has now, therefore, arri-
we'd for making general recapitulalion Of the
whole, to exhibit an unanswerable proof Of the d.
rection and sweeping force of the political tide
The present article, by the way, was prepared for
yesterdays Ne,rs. The Journal Of Commerce of
Yesterday, went partly over the same ground, bur
in differeut manner, and in some respects less
fully.


The following are the States which have held
elections since the making up of the great issue be-
tween the parties, by the nominations of their
pective Presidential tickets Louisiana, North
Carolina, Alabama, Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky,
Missouri, Vermont, Maine, Delaware, Maryland,
New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Ohio. We
present in tabular form the comparative results OF
these elections, and Of the contest in l840o which
few preliminary remarks alone are necessary.


In Louisiana, the democratic majority Of l 900 is
a very low estimate There was only partial con-
test at the last election, no opposition being made
to the democratic tickets in two of the dstrlcts.
Itwould be nearer the truth to set it down at 1000


In Missouri, the actual majority of Edwards, the
"Hard" candidate, was 665l The allowance OF
1900 "Soit" democratic votes to allow, is undeni-
ably far below the truth-all which are Polk and
Dallas votes. This makes difference in majority
Of 4 600, making the actual democratic majority
about stated below.


In New Jersey, we ser down the popular vote as
about balanced, It being now ascertained that
Thomson was defea ated only on local and personal
grounds, causing him to behind his ticket, there
being an actual democratic majority on the Council
tickets.


In Pennsylvania, we deduct the accidental and
temporary apparent whlg majority in the city and
county of Philadelphia, which no honest reasoDer
will pretend to regard as any party test In lS4O,
they gave small majority for Mr.. Van Buren.
