lativc hocus po< us, could relieve the distress of th country, and nothing hut a return to old fashion., economy, active, persevering industry, and a resolu lion against creating debt could remedy the evil- Yet the imposition was perseveringly palmeil upon the people, that the Legislature could do it if they pleased, and if it were not done, it would be because the majority was democratic. This snake game was played in forty one, in forty two, but the Whig player neglected to tell the peo pie, that they, (the Whigs) had cleaned out the state' ‘reastuy, during the session of fe rty, and left their successors an empty purse to hold—the reproaches then heaped on the majorities of the two last sessions are about as honest and reasonable, as it would be for those who had bound a man hand and foot, to abuse him for not while in that condition, running races, or dancing hornpipes. There was one point in wlrich the democrats did not follow their whig predecessors—when the people asked relief, their democratic legislature did not em bitter its reply, that “it could not "' by the taunting in solence, that it “ought net, or would not if it coulJ,’ we trust by our fellow eitixecs who love their coun try, better than Federalism disgmisid as Wbiggery, it will not be forgotten that the democratic majority most sincerely desired, and boaestly endeavored to benefit the State and gratify their constituents, we cannot doubt —thattkej will continue to do so, we cannot doubt —dot the people vote for their Represen tatives, nut because they are their neighbors, or favor ites, but because they have a standing for integrity, greod sense, and requisite information—the legislation .of itie State wiU be improved in proportion—hut ne ver can be wise or reputable to the character of the State, till a salutary reduction is effected in the num ber both es Senators and Representatives. Crowds •cannot deliberate. NEW PAPER. We have received the first number of the ‘Vedette,’ anew paper, published weekly in Savannah, by Mr. E. J. Purse,under the direction of the executive Com mittee, of the Young Men’s Democratic Association of Chatham County. We extend the right hand of fellowship to our friends, the “ Young Deinocracie” of Chatham, and congratulate them and the party generally, in the eastern, middle, and seaboard coun ties, upon the appearance of this new sentinel in our ranks. The Vedette is beautifully printed, its edito rials are well written, and it promises to he an able and worthy auxiliary with the Democratic press of Georgia, in the spread of sound republican principles. We wish it success. SUPERB PENMANSHIP. We have within a day or two, been favored with the examination of two specimens of the graphic art, surpassing in skill, taste and beauty of execution, any thing of the kind we had before witnessed. The first contains the title of a series of maps, rep resenting with scientific accuracy, the counties tra versed by the Central Rail Road, also the course of the road through those counties with the most srtis faetory minuteness. The '2d is a map on a scale of extraordinary magnitude, being dilineateil on the largest sized elephant paper. The artist, Mr. O'Con ner, is not a mere draftsman, but a regularly trained practical engineer, possessing at tire same time, exten sive scientific acquirements. Those acquainted with Mm s|H>ak of him as a gentleman of unusual modesty and absence of pretension in bis de|Kirtment. The specimens may be seen at the Book-Store of Mr. Jackson Barnes, Mulberry si., who, we are sure will take pleasure in gratifying those who call, with a sight of them. The New York Journal of Commerce, (Whig,) after publishing Mr. Calhoun’s letter to the Editors of the National Intelligencer, makes the following just and liberal remarks : Always manly in foeling and powerful in intellect, once the idol of the nation, beyond any other man since the days of Washington—Mr.Calhonn has been trea ted, for some years past, by the [tresses of the North, with marked neglect, and worse than that, marked misrepresenta tion. He might have been President af ter Gen. Jackson if he would have stoop ed to little things, and those not so little or so mean as politicians are acoustomed to resort to. His virtues have always drawn out the enthusiastic admiration and love of his friends. “Tell me,” said a leading whig of this city, some months ago in conver sation with Mr. Senator Preston, “tell me sir, what is the secret of Mr. Calhoun’s wonderful popularity at the South ?” “It is the purity of his character,” replied Mr. Preston; “no man ever becomes ac quainted with him who does not love him.” This was generous praise from a generous opponent. Mr. C.’s noble stand last year in favor of law and order in Rhode Island, when some other interests in the democratic party were meanly and wickedly urging on the dogs of civil war, has done something to soften the preju dices against him which the tariff con troversy had engendered. He is again brought forward as a candidate for the presidency. His consistent, moral and religious character, his great talents as a statesman, and his life of manly patrio tism, will ensure him a host of ardent friends, so long as there are men i:i the republic to admire these qualities. The letter which we print to-day, is a speci men of the man. He does not disguise that his opinion have somewhat changed since his entrance on public life. Whose opinions have not changed in thrity years ? Most of onr prominent states men have boxed round the Compass in that time. Not one of them has changed less than Mr. Calhoun. We agree with the Journal of Commerce. Mr. Calhoun his been treated by a portion of the pr ss at the North "with neglect, and worse than that, with marked representation.” But the North is not the only section of the country in wlrich that great than has heen treated unfairly by the public press.— from a portion of the Whig press, we have not ex. pf-cted anything manly or liberal towards Mr. Cal houn—but we did expect for that gentlcmsn fair rfoatment at the hands of every- liberal and generous oppenent, however widely gentlemen may differ in ! opinion alrout men or measures. We envy not the feeling* of that man, who seeks to blacken the fame of such men as Mr. Calhoun —be they Whig or De nocrat, we care not—it is enough for us to know that they arc Americans; pariots, who have illustra ted our glorious free institutions, and whose fame will n all after times have no limits but the boundaries of iheral principles,and enlightened civilization through iut the old world. We care not to which great po litical division they belong at the present day—or whether they are known hv the name of Cai.hocn, Jlay, Wkbsteb, Bancroft or Everett, as Amer icans we honor them. CONNECTICUT. We take the following cheering intelligence from the Correspondence of the Charleston Mercury, of the 17th. The following is from a very intelli gent merchant, who promised us, when going North on his travels, a month or two since, to inquire and write to us the state of public opinion in New England, in reference to the Presidential Election. He is a IVbig, but like all intellige .t Southern Whigs, goes for Mr. Calhoun after Mr. Clay. VVe have abundant rea son to believe that the representation" he makes of the state of popular sentiment in New England is entirely correct. No sort of political jockey ism can make Mr. Van Burfen the choice of the Democracy of New England. Let the managers shuffle and cut as they please, the voters, after all, are the people, and will be given to suit themselves. Stratford, (Conn.) Aug. 8,1843. My hear &ir : —On our way down from Columbia to Charleston, I told you I would drop you a line in regard to the feeling of the Yankees towards your great man John Caldwell Calhoun. 1 am truly glad to have it in my power to say, with out any doubt , (although my first choice is Harry of the West,) that Mr. Calhoun will get the vote of Connecticut, and the the majority of the New England States. I have conversed with some of the lead ing men in this State, particularly of the Bar, and they say, with a few exceptions, they are alt for Calhoun. Out of the members elect to Congress,—all but one are Calhoun men —no mistake. T. who holds an office in in this State, (Conn-) under the administration, is quite a poli tician and a sincere friend of Mr. Tyler, but after him goes the whole figure for Calhoun, and by the by he used to live in Newberry, (S. C..) at which place he became acquainted with Mr. Calhoun. One thing you may depend on, in the event Mr. Tyler dors not get the nomina tion, (and we all know he cannot,] T. and atl his connexions, which are nume rous and as respectable as any other fam ily in the State, will all go for Mr. Cal houn, and use their united influence in promoting his interests. For some few weeks, I have heen prowling over the country, and talking with the"small far mers, who govern the polls, aqd I do as sure you, that 7 out of 10 are for Mr. C., and say (hey would far prefer Mr. C. to Mr. Van Buren. 1 speak of Whigs and Democrats, promiscuously. The Whigs say if there is no chance for Clay, they go for Calhoun. I repeat it, ihat Mr. Cal hyun is gaining ground daily, there can be no mistake, and I firmly believe he can be elected on his own hook, without being nom.nated by any Convention. MR. CALHOUN IN MAINE. We subjoin tire following, from the Portland A merican, and will only remark in passing that, that gentleman is bpyond doubt, lire first choice of the Democracy of that State, as well as of New Hamp shire. Such a man as Mr. Calhoun cannot fail to be appreciated by the descendants of the pilgrim founders of New England—they are a noble race— and ihe stern virtues, commanding talents, undoubt ed patriotism, and long public service of the great Car olinian, cannot fail to meet with cordial, general and enthusiastic response in the bosom of every Demo cratic New Englander—all we ask for him is a fair field and fair play—give him that - ml we are willing to leave the issue with our countrymen. YORK DISTRICT CONVENTION. We h ave received a private letter from a delegate to this Convention, front which we take the following facts. Joshua Herrick, Esq., was nominated as the democratic candidate for Congress. His principal competitor was Hon. Na than L. Clifford, present member from that district. Mr. Herrick is a whole souled demo crat, and his nomination will be received ' by the people with acclamation. Old York will give him a good old fashioned majority. Charles N. Cogswell, Esq., was cho sen delegate to the Naiional Convention. Our correspondent says “ Both these gentlemen are suspected of Calhounism. Cogswell is openly denounced as such here this morning, and probably not without sufficient reason. I have suffi cient knowledge of Herrick to satisfy me.” Though these gentlemen voted for the Van Buren resolution at the State Con vention, we understand that subsequent reflection has satisfied them that Mr. Cal houn is the first choice of the State.— That gentleman will without doubt have the first vote of York. The Essex Ring.—A correspondent requests that we will give publicity to the following explanation, which is called for, in consequence of an advertisement stating the “Essex Ring” to be on sale. It is very possible that the trinket in question may be one of the many gifts whiclt the partiality of his royal mistress lavished on the Earl of Essex, but the ring, to which, an historical and roman tic recoid is attached as |a token, (the sight of which, rec riling her tenderest feelings, was to act wiih talismanic pow* er on the Queen, and to insure her as sent to any request it accompanied) is an heir loom in the “Warner” family, anJ is in the possession of Col. Edward War ner, the representative of theelderbranch. This rii r is formed of a single diamond, cat in the shape of a heart, and bears an additional interest as having been the gift of the unfortunate Mary. Queen of Scotland to Queen Elizabeth at the peri od of her marriage with Lord Darnley, in 1564, when she sent it to her royal ri val, together with the following lines written by Buchanan : “This gem behold, the emblem of my heart From which my cousin’s image ne’er shall part, Clear in its lustre, spotless docs it shine, As clear, as spotless, as this heart of mine ; What though the stone a greater hardness wears, Superior firmness itill the figure bears.” The fact of Lady Nottingham’s treach erous concealing of the ring, confided to her by the condemned Essex, with his pleading for life from his offended sove reign, is too well known to require repe- I tition, as well as that the Queen’s anguish at Lady No tingham’s death-bed confes ! sion led her to immediate dissolution- The ring then fell into the possession of King James 1., who gave it to Capt. War. ner, together with other marks of distinc tion, in remuneration of his extensive discoveries in the West Indies, by which three of our most valuable colonies were added to the Bafesh dominions. In 1629, Cajii. WaluCT was knighted by King Charles 1., a dignity at that period highly considered. The royal patents and doc umentary proofs of the foregoing facts are to F be found in the Royal College of Arms, and in the possession of the repre sentative of the family.— London paper. FOR THE AMERICAN DEMOCRAT. Mr. Editor: ln writing uiy article published in the Telegraph of August 1, 1 hail nu idea of entering into a newspaper war with the contractor of the Poor House, and was in hopes on account of all concerned, that an explanation of the matter might be given sat isfactory to all. But 1 find the community is still greatly excited on the subject, being justly indignant that their interests should he abused as well as their understanding insulted. The contractor has accused me of publishing a falsehood—it becomes my duty as well as my right to ex|tose the weakness and folly of the latne defence set up by him. He says I do not stand on an equal footing in so ciety with him, —upon this subject I do not join issue with him, as it is his public conduct which is the sub ject of investigation. In reply to the bullying threats of executing vengeance on any one who dares to write upon this subject, I cannot be deterred from asking questions of a public servant, relative to bis du'.ies, or investigating any matter of public interest touching my rights as a citizen. 1 will now proceed to examine his certificates, and first No. 7: No. 7. Georgia, Bibb County. 1 certify that Mr. Tysrer,who lived in an old kitchen, near the old Grave Yard, a short time since, and wt.o is the individual alluded to by “B.” in the last Tel egraph, is now in the Hospital with his family, and was, some days previous to the publication of the last Telegraph ; and was accompanied by David Reed. lam the Steward of the Hospital; and 1 un derstood that he had a written permission to enter the Hospital, with his family, f r some months; and he was prev ailed upon by Dr. Parsons and myself, to go with his family, to the Hospital for months past. Aug. 2, 1843. Z. B. WADE. Now the public will sec in a moment, that this certificate proves exactly what was stated by “B.” in his article, viz ; that this poor man Tiger had called again and again on the contractor until he had des paired of relief, and was each time told to gel a con veyance, to curry his family to the Poor House, which he was entirely unable to do, but as soon as a conveyance was offered by some charitable individu als, they were ready and did go. For any assistance rendered by the contractor or commissioners, this family might hace suffered on until death released them. Whose duty is it to take helpless paupers to the Poor House 1 know not, but 1 know there has been agf ss direlection of duty somewhere. Who does not blush for |ioor human nature, when such certificates as this are resorted to, to appease the gnawings of a guilty conscience. Certificate No. 3. , Macon, August 2, 1343. | We, the undersigned, Judges of the Inferior Court of Bibb county, ceriify that the statement made by a writer in the last Telegraph, signed “Justice, (I. S,)” and “B.” in which is charged, that the Contrac tor or keeping the Poor House for the present year, offered either of us $l3O not to bid for the contract, and B>'o to report favorably, the condition of the House, is false, utterly false. r. b. Washington, j. i. c. JEHU CAMPBELL, J. I. C. W. H. CALHOUN, J. I. C. JOHN H. BRANTLEY, J. I. C. Now gentlemen, please to look again and s»e what it is that you heve pronounced false. Did “Justice, (L. S.)” and “B.” say that either of you were offered a bribe of $l5O not to bill for the contract, and SSO to make a favorable re|toit on the job every week T No. he did not —he simply a died why did the con tractor offer one of the Court $l5O not to bid, and $52 more to make a favorable report—and the con-, tractor himself udmits what you have pronounced fdse, for although the contractor denies that he offer ed $52 [ter year, he states that he did offer s'l per week. I should like to kn nv what rule of Aritlune- ; tick the gentlemen calculates by. I leave these facts for the consideration of a candid public, and proceed to tile consideration of another point. The contrac tor admits that he did offer a bribe to one of the j Judges &$l5O not to bid for the contract,ami claims it as his right. Now I think I can prove that the con- j tiactor is entirely mistaken upon this [mint, and that | it is a gross violation of law, and for that purpose j quote from Princes Digest, page 638. “Bribery is giving or receiving any undue reward to influence the behavior of the person receiving such reward, in the discharge of his duty in a ty of fice of Government or of Justice.” Again, “If any person shall directly or indirectly give, or offer to give, any money, goods, or other bribe, pres ent or reward; or give or make any promise, con tract or agreement for the payment, delivery or ale niaiion ot any mom y, goods, lands, or other bribe ; or use any promises, threats, persuasions, or other like sinister, unfair or fraudulent practices in order to obtain ot influence the opinion, judgement, de cree, or behavior "f any member of the general as sembly, or any officer of this State, judge, justice, referee or arbitrator in any discussion, debate, ac tion, suit, complaint, indictment, controversy, miner, or cause depending, or which shall depend before him or them, such person shall on conviction, be punished by imprisonment and labor in the peniten tiary for any timi. not less than oue year, nor longer than five years.” This is the law upon the subject, and I am per fectly willing he shoulJ enjoy all the rights ami priv ileges in this matter guaranteed to him by the laws of our State. , ~ t I should like to know what was his object in offering $l5O if it was not that he might make a much largar sun o\t[ pf the citizens of this county, who have ever been willing to contribute freely to t!>e support of the poor, hut‘are not willing to have the public money squandered in this manner, and are indignant that insult should be added to injury. The following certificate will jirove what I have asserted, in regard to the neatness of the Poor House, and the half has not yet been told. JUSTICE, (L. S.) AND B. We, the undersigned, actuated from f clings of j humanity, did on the 30tlt day of last mouth, [ luly] procure a hor e and waggon atlJ niov e .| Mr. Tiger and his family to the Poor House, and we do certify that we found it in a most filthy condition. In the room that the family was put into, the bedstead, and 1 tedding, was taken possession of by bed bugs, and the ticking was too dirty to lie used, even by a dog to sleep or rest on. In making the above statements we have no personal feyling* (o gratify—only to state what we know and have seen personally. DAVID REED, E. C. GRANNISS, H WORTHINGTON, J. W. CLARK, HENRY N. ELLS. {communicated.] . To the Editor of the American Democrat : I was pleased to see in last week’s Messenger, that the. Editor had found something to be amused at, and as this feeling is contagions, it naturally excited somewhat similar feelings in me, and as nothing should be suffered to escape that might excite a smile in these “ piping times of peace,” l thought I would trans cribe them for the benefit of all con cerned. .. It i amusing to witness the noncha lance with - which the Whigpapers ascribe to the Democratic press, the course that they themselves ar. pursuing, and the easy impudence with which they charge upon others, the hide and seek policy they follow with such fidelity themselves. I say, sir, it is amusing to see them reso lutely avoid every question at issue be tween the two great parties, which divide the country, and at the same time falsely accuse the democratic party of the same contemptible policy. Ask them if Henry ('lay is in favor of a Protective Tariff, they evade the question by telling you that he is a compromise man, while he solemnly affirms before the Nation that he has lived and will die an advocate of a Protective Tariff. Ask them if the Whig party of Georgia advocate it, and they will answer you, Oh, no ! That’s not the true issue. Ask them if they want another Nick Biddle Bank to regu late the currency, they will answer you that’snot the true issue, and soon through the long list of federal heresies, termina ting in the Assumption of State Debts, which I solemnly believe the Whigs will effect if Henry Clay is elected President. It is amusing to witness the pure and unsophisticated affection that some of the Whigs are suddenly stricken with, for some portions of the Democratic party and the officious zeal with which they seek to inflict their unsolicited defence upon those who need it not. Democrats beware of the embrace of Judas. It is amusing to hear them describe the President whom they elected them selves, as the most infamous and degra ded of mankind, although they eulogised him in 1840 as one of the greatest living patriots and statesman, and Tyler too. It is amusing to see them, while claiming to have all the decency, assail the highest functionaries of the Govern ment (elected by themselves,) and indeed every body who differs from them, with a violent licentiousness of abuse never equalled in the political history of this or any other country. It would be amusing v it were not contemptible to see them assume, the “ Ercles” vein and attempt the same bul lying and intimidating game played in 1840. It is amusing very, to hear some im maculate Whig editors croak about cor ruption, licentiousness, <fce. I say it is amusing to see them claim that respect which is due to COMSIST ENT politicians. De SOTO. From the Federal Union. WILL ANY DEMOCRAT VOTE FOR CRAW FORD ? Is there a Democrat in Georgia who is prepared to see George W. Crawford made Governor ? Let those who have felt disappointine:.t,and in some instances dissatisfaciion, over the nomination of Major Cooper, by the Democratic Con vention, calmly answer the question : What, suppose we have objections to Mr. (’ooper’s nomination and might have pre ferred another as the standard bearer of onr principles, by the support of whom for Governor, we hoped to maintain the power and ascendency of Democratic rule in Georgia / Is there a Democrat so recreant to the support of his principles, as to suffer himself to be idle in this con test, and rendering a lukewarm, or no support at all, to the candidate of his own ; party —Williirir to fold his arms and per mit George W. Crawford, the bitierest of our most, bitter and uncompromising en etnies to ho placed at the head of the af fairs of the State ? We trust not one can he found. Have we not a candidate of ! our own in whom we can confide to ad minister the Government upon Demo cratic principles—one who acts with uS, feels with us, and avows himself a Dem ocrat ? If so, why will any one of the party from any cause whateAer, content himself in a crisis like the present, to re main neutral between Major Cooper and Mr. Crawford ? Is he not fully identified with our measures ? . Was he not with us in defeat and should he not he in tri umph ? Will not his success triumphant ly vindicate the democratic supremacy? Was he not, and the party through him, made the victims of fraud and falsehood in 1840—and is it more than sheer jus tice with him to scourge fraud and false hood back again to obscurity ? Is not Mr. Crawford also a tried and true man to his party? Is he not fully identified with their measures? lias he not been with them uncompromising in defeat,and will they not, in his success, equally as triumphantly vindicate the supremacy of modern Clay Wbiggery in Georgia? Should any Democrat hesitate which to choose of the two ? Should "any one, be so lost to a sense of duty as .either te vote for Crawford or neglect to yofo Cooper? ..Which ,do we choosq-yrwho do we supftbrt for Governor,' or' Crawford ?is the question. There is no half way, this or that, in it. The one is a Democrat who, perhaps we may not like so well as we do others of our party, and the other a Whig—a supporter of Clay and his measuras—a bitter enemy of all our men and measures, from whom we have nothing to expect but the most violent persecutions of our party, and our principles. We avow publicly our pref ference for Major Cooper to any whig, and especially to Mr. Crawford ; and in good feeling to all, anxious above all else, for the harnony of our party and the tri umph of it?/ measures and principles, without disrespect to any who may differ with us, if such there can possibly be, we declare our utter inability to find a reason why any Democrat should for a moment think of withdrawing his support, his zealous support from Major Cooper in a contest with George W. Crawfotd for Governor. We again ask, is there any Democrat prepared to see George W, Crawford elected Governor, and that too, without exerting his aid, his talents,, and his most active influence to prevent it? and we again answer —No ! there cannot be a single one. From the Charleston Mercury. ELECTIONS. North Carolina. We have at length complete returns, and the result is that five Democrats and four Whigs are re turned to Congress. In the first District the contest was be tween Graham &. Clingman,both whigs. Clingraan is elected by a considerable majority, and no doubt, had the support of the whole Democratic party. In the 2d District, Barringer, Whig, is elected oyer Craige, Dem.—niaj. 339. In the 3d, Reed, Dem., is elected over Mitchell, Whig, by a majority of 356. In the 4th the contest was lietween two Whigs, Deberry and Mendenhall. The former is elected, but the precise majority is not knowd. In the sth Saunders, Dem., is elected by a majority of 141 over Miller, Whig, In the 6th, McKay, Dem., is elected without serious opposition. In the 7th, Daniel, Dem., is elected over Nash, Whig, by 159 majority. In the Bth, Arrington, Dem., is elected over the ‘gallant Stanley, by 548 maj. In the 9th, Rayner, Whig, is elected over Moore, Dem., by a majority of about 850. In the aggregate popular vote, the Whigs have a considerable majority, though the exact amount of it cannot be stated, because in three Congressional Districts—two Whigs and one Democrat —there was no regular party opposition. Indiana. —The Cincinnatti Gazette, Whig, of the lith inst. says that in 20 counties from which the vote for Govern or has been received, the Democrats have made a nett gain of more than 4000 over the vote of 1840, when Bigger, Whig, was elected Governor by 8500 majority. These twenty counties embrace about one fourth 6i the State. There is little doubt therefore of the Democratic suc cess. We have seen nothing to warrant an opinion as to the state of parties in the Legislature. For Congress, it is believed that 'hree Democrats are chosen in the only three Districts heard from, viz. R. Dale Owen in the First, Thos. J. Henly in the Second, and Smith in the Third. Kentucky. —The Clay party in this State are in a peck of trouble. From the returns received from the Lexington Congressional District and the four ad joining Districts, it is believed there is an aggregate majority against Clay. Two of the candidates are Wickliffe and Pope, bitterly Hostile to Clay. It is admitted by the Whigs that probably four Demo crats are elect'd to Congress from the State, but the returns are not yet suffi ciently complete to justify a statement Tenn. ssße. —The Globe of Monday evening has the following remarks : The returns for Governor from twenty nine counties in Middle and West Ten nessee, which embrace about one-half the voters in the State, are taken from the | Nashville Banner, Whig, which says that Jones, the Whig candidate for Governor, has gained 1,230 compared with the elec tion of 1841, when he succeeded by 3,200 majority. For the State Legislature, the Whigs have gained one member in Bedford, and lost one in Lawrence, and one in Hum phreys and Benton. If there shall be no other loss or gain, or the loss, and gain shall be equal, in the balance of the State, the Legislature will be “tied.” Our accounts by way of New Orleans from the Memphis District, leave little doubt that the Whig candidate is elected there, and consequently the majority of of the Congressional delegation are Whigs. Postcript. —We hava, at last, papers from Tennessee, the first we have seen since the election. The Knoxville Ar gus of ,the 9th, gives nearly complete returns of the vote in East Tennessee.— Jones’ majority over Polk, for Governor, in that part of the State is 25 less than it was in 1741. East Tennessee has three members of Congress, In the first Dis trict, Cave Johnson., is elected over Ai ken, Whig, by 500 majority. In the 2d District, Senter, Whi, is elec ted over Wallace, Dem., by 2000 maj. In the 3d District, Blackwell, Dem., is elected over T. J. Campbell, Whig,about 100 majority., * For .the State Senate the Whigs have elected 5, aDd the Democrats 3 members. For the House, the Whigs have 10, and the Democrats 10, the latter having lost a Senator and two Representatives by local divisions. We fear much that the Legislature of Tennessee is Whig.
