You will see that at the second balloting Smith
came within vote Of being elected, and the
scattering then given that of the recreant
Wing Senator above stated. The remaining
Wings, those who had been impracticables and
all, together with the Loco-Foco Senator from
Wayne, who was pledged to vote for Wing Sen
ator, all voted for Smith, and his election was de-
feated by this Kelso, representing q constituency
of 200 Whig majority. The faithful Loco Sena-
TOT from Wayne Co. which gives 1,600 Wing ma
ority became scared at the state of Smiths vote,
and went over nstanter to his Loco brethren; and
BY voting for and thus electing Hannegan on the
last ballot, very fairly redeems his Wing pledge,
and represents his constituents, who will doubt
less feel much pleased with his votes. You will
notice, also, that Hannegan was elected entirely
by accident; and if you had been present when
the voting on the sixth ballot was finished, (the
vote is ri1a Uoce,) you would have that the
applause of those Loco-Focos misrepresenting de-
cided and acknowledged Wing Counties was the
most tumultuous. You viii notice, further, that
had it not been for the high-handed and fragrant
act OF the Loco-Foco House in ejecting Beall, the
Whig Representative from Sieuhen and De kalb,
from his seat without hearing, and placing a Lo-
co-Foco in his stead, the reelection of Mr.. Smith
could not have been prevented, even with all the
treachery and misrepresentation which have been
exhibited to-day.


But we are beaten, and it is useless now to re-
pine. By The act of the House of Representa-
tves, and by the treachery of man elected as a
Wing, Indiana, Wing undenably as she is, viii be
represented for six long years in the Senate by a
Loco-Foco and thus is the Wing ascendancy in
that body, for two years at least, destroyed: The
news of this LocoFoco triumph will be dispiriting
in the extreme to the Wing party all over the
State, and measurably so through the Union, and
will have unproptious bearing on the contest
into which we have just entered.


Personally, Mr. Hannegau is the most accepta.
bic to the Wing party of all the LocoFocos in the
State. He is eloquent, but is not possessed of
that extensive and solid knowledge necessary for
a Senator. He endeayored to get the nomination
of Governor from his party the 9th inst but
failed receiving only 30 votes out of the i20 that
were cast in the Nominating Committee; and
now, by the fortunes of politics. and by good luck
for him, he is promoted to seat in the Senate,
while Howard, with whose name the Locos fought
the battle last summer, is for the third time con-
signed TO private life.


On the question of the Tariff Mr.. Hsnnegan is
nearer right than any of his Loco-Foco brethren
in the State, but not quite enough to suit the
Wings. He is friendly to the Sub-Treasury-fa-
vorable TO Mr.. Van Buren for the Presidency, and
will make at least an average Senator although in
politics he is a bitter partisan.


Yours, in haste, S. G.
