THE LATE ELECTIONS.

trhe result of the elections that came off last week in several Southern States is very gratifying, indicating that Democracy even in jits strongholds is tottering to its fall. Kentucky the Democrats have elected their Governor by 7,000 to 10,000 majority, and five Representatives to Congress; while thq Opposition have elected lour Congressmen, and one remains still in doubt. Two years ago the Congressional delegation stood—Democrats, eight; Opposition, two. Hijrrah for “Old Kaintucfc!” In Tennessee the Democrats elect their Gaverner by a reduced majority of 3,069. The Opposition gain one, and probably thtee Congressmen. Returns are not received from all the districts iu North Carolina, but it is ascertained th'at there is a gain of at least one Opposition Congressman. The news from the new State of Oregon isfalmost too cheering to be credited. If true, a Republican Congressman is elected, wje shall look for the next arrival with interest.
