The Elections.
NORTH CAROLll\'A.—- Contrary to our expre-
tation, and the tenor ofthe news last week, our
opponents have carried the 3d district. Tlicy
therefore stand five to our four.
Ti-:N.\'E-:sr:E.-—Complete returns front this
State, with the exception of the vote for Gov-
ernor in Morgan Co. which will not vary the
result more tliati 30 or 4.0 votes,show the grand
result to be a Whig Governor by 4200, and a
Whig Legislature in both branches, with a
majority on joint ballot of 8.
ALABAMA.-—'1‘lie whole Congressional dele-
gation in this State are, scarcely without at;
exception, Calliotin locus. There are seven
districts iii the State. and three of the number
are represented by members ofthe last House.
KEl\"1‘UCKY —-ln the Xtli, filaysville district,
at loco has beeti elected by 361 niijority. He
avows liimselfa tariff man, a sort of a Batik
man, and is pledged to vote for Clay in the
House, sliottld the electioti go there and his
District vote that way, as it is certain to do by
a heavy majority. He was elected by disaf-
fection with the VV1iig nomination and the great
number of his influential kinsnicn in the district
all \Vhigs. In much the saute way Judge
French has beaten Hon. S. J. Andrews, while
the. other locofocos, Stone and Caldwell, have
Slipped tn between two Whig candidates. So
the delegation is evenly divided, unless Willi-
Green is beaten in the lid District, which is
notclaitricd. The delegation stands five Whig
and the same tiumber of locus.
The Legislature is Whig in both branches,
by a l11E)j<)t‘lly increased from last year.
1LLl1\‘UlS.--T1'1C Chicago Democrat of the
19th instant, says that \Valker, \Vliig, is defeat-
ed in the Gib district, and that Huge, L. is elect_
ed. in spite of the t\1ormon vote against liiiii.—
11 this is true, the \Vhigs have carried only one
ofthe seven districts, viz; the 7th in which
Harding is elected.

Holly last i\ei.k published No. 1 of a series of

already stated, that the editor of the Advocate
excelled in altnost everything, but -we never
thouglit ul'takii:gprcuc/ting into the aceourit.—-
As Mac does not allow liimselfto be much out-
done, we shall not be surprised to hear of his
asst. ming the robes too.
Tun Niziv SUB'CRlP1‘l0t\'. —'1‘lie. last. Stami-
ard informs us, that the new subscription is
likely to prove a failure. The amount on the
books is some $150,000—-a large sum surely,
but not large enough, by cotisiderabie. No
fttrtlter efforts will probably be niade—iri other
words, it is Utlt1..'t‘Sl0t)L1 that the Road is to be
sold in December.

who has been in oliice nineteen years and a
lizilf, and received during that time $76,000 of
the people's money, or a little over 9,000 a
year. and yet was never known to make any
sacrifices for the public good, or to devise any
measure of acknowledgedibenefitto the country.
Not satisfied with the honors and cmoltimcnts
he has received, he wants the people to give
him four years more of oli"ice,and $100,000
front the public treasury. Before theygeonclude
to do so, they would like to know- on what
ground he asks for their confidence or favor.-
Unless satisfied on this point, they will proba-
bly prefer some one who has claims to their
support.
The citizens ofStamford, are going it in the
concert line. They have just got through with
a vocal entertainment from Madam Sutton and
daughter, under the direction of Proftssor Bar
low, which is spoken of by the Advocate in
terms of highest. praise. On Friday evening
last a second peiforniance of this kind was to
come off. The performers on Friday evening
were from the New York boards.
Rev. B. G. Noble proposes to establish an
Agricultural Institution in the vicinity of
Bridgeport. _
~Stcal1'.ng a Horse and li'agorr.—-A couple of
our citizens hired ti ‘horse and wagon cn
‘Wednesday evening last, at the stable of
Stevens & Grifiith, to go to New Canaan. On
their arrival the horse was hitched to a post in
’ the usual manner, and left until the gentlemen
should be ready to return. After spendingtlie
evening and getting ready (‘or a start homeward,
they found the horse and wagon missing, and
themselves driven to the consoling alternative
The next day runners were
sent out by our horse thief society to find the
stolen property, but no traces of it could be
found, ttntil Friday afternoon, when it was dis-
covered in the town of \VesIon.
It appears the thief, who belonged in New
Canaan, in a drunken spree, had conceived the
idea either ofstealing the property, or oflrcating
himselfto a ride, perhaps not knowing exactly
which. After. driving all night, he became
somewhat sobered, and began to reflect upon
the nature of his adventure. I1e made up his
mind to abandon the enterprise, and securing
the reins, left the horse to the enjoyment of his
largest liberty, while he (the tliief)availed him-
self of the same privilege. The horse and
wagon were soon picked tip and found as above,
in sound condition. The chap. it is supposed.
is under way yet, as nothing has been heard of
him.
Since writing the above,thc thief. whose
name is Thomas Cunningham, Iias been ar-
rested and placed in limbo. In appearance he
is a strippling with a larger share oftlionghtless-
ness and ignorance in his making up,..'.1tau of
deliberate wickedness..
The Commencement Exercises of,Ya1e Col-
lege last week, are well spoken of. Those of
the graduating class were rather above mediocre.
so we are told. The oration of M r. Bushnell,
before the alumni, was _an effort which l'ia.s
elicited the highest degree ofpraise for its pow-
er of conception. That of Dr. Sprttgue of
Albany, before the Phi Beta Kappa Society.
was highly creditable to its distinguished au-
tlior, bttt as we are informed, partook more of
the character ofa popular address.
The gradttating class consisted of 95 young
men. Amongthe uumlrer, we notice the names
ofCliarlcs Joties, and Lewis Raymoiid lltirl-
burt, of tittr worthy and somewliat distingttislied
towusliip--VViltoti, and Mr. Franklin Taylor
of \Vestport. Mr. H tirlburt took the second
honor ofthe class.
The degree ofA B. was conferred in course
on 96 individuals; that. ofA. VI, in course on
38. ad llelltlt-‘tn or) 2. and honary on Rev. Jos.
Gzeenwood of New Millliirtl, and John Tl'otrip—
