We have received the official returns from all tho Congressional districts in this St-ue save one. It will be een that the

politics of cur beloved sf.-Ue arc as thev

should be -whig up to the hub. The "eollar tr.an's lean majority of 57, con

trasted with 'he Avh-ig majorities as given

below, indicate that Indiana is redeemed,

Kentucky has done nobly. She sends 12 whigs and 1 Van lUircn man to the

next C ongress. - te i The elections in Tennessee are over

and the whigs have completely defeated

the Van lluren party. 1 hey have elected all tfie members of Congress but three.-

Tennessee has seen enough of Van Hu

renism to know that her interests arc not

promoted by that party even the inllurnce and popularity of the greatest and

best, and the (ranking ol extra (.lobes, and electioneering circular?, were not sufficient to turn the people from their republican principles, or to hitch them to Van Uurcn's car. Tennessee has shewn herself one of the first states in the Fniou for independent thinking, and noble spirits. Will the freemen of other states, now believe that (Jen. Jackson's friends ar not Martin Van Huron's or will thev still think that Jackson and Van f'lren are one? Those who ought to know (.en. Jackson, say not. Can the old Jackson j irty then support Martin Van Buret.. We belie e that those who acted from principle will not to a man.

Contrary to what was generally believRatlilT Boon is re-elected to Congress. Co shout and hiuza ye Van Buren followers claim great glory fur his election, for it is the list time you will have a chance to do so. 1 1 is election is the last effort of a dying party. He will be a dirly black spot on a white ground. Wa suppose that the next Sun will blazen forth the election of 1. Boon in capi

tals. l)o so neighbor he is so "solitary

and alone.''

The state will soon be altogether inh ibited by a population like yourselves, replete with habits of morality, ample means of education, and a vigorous and successful industry. The existing state of many grievances cannot therclore endure they have no claim to continuance when the basis upon which a domineering party made them to rest, has evidently failed. livery good citizen now feels that enough has been done for party pride and public favor it is hoped, will never again be squandered upon mere partisans. The currency, the public lands, the public money and the public interests generally, are well known

On board the ship Pilgrim, (command
