The election in this Congressional Dis tricu still affords matter lor remaik, even in this state, to printers, and otheis. who look to the Indianapolis papers, or the Wabash Teh graph, tor correct intelligence upon that subject. The 1 imes, printed at Centtrvil.e, on the 5th ot i his inst. aftei quoting Irom both the Indianapolis papers, & tliu Wabash Teiigraph, says " Later accounts make Biake's election certain, by 33 votes. ol. Boon is a candidate tor elector, on the Jacks n ticket,

and coi 13: ike die member who tlvc.ared in!

congress, that he was v illing to sink or sw tin with the present administration " By reler ence to my paper of the 23d ult. they will find a correct table of the whole vote of this District, least I believe so) and will see that Mr Boon is elected by a clear majoiity of ninety -two votes lVabazh Telegraph This paper actually mad- i s appearance agiin on the I 1th inst. lis appearance should have b.cn noticed in my paper ol the I 2ih, had it came to hand befo'eihat paper was in press.
