ELECTIONS.
Vermont.—In the first congressional dis
trict the Hon. HilandHall (W.) is elected. Tn
the second district the Hon. Wm. Slade {W.)
is re-elected by a majority, according
to the Vorgennes Vermonter, of at least 3000.
In the 4th district were three candidates in
the field, two of whom were Whigs, it is
probable that there is no election in this dis
trict. From the districts at present represent
ed by Messrs. Everett (Whig.) and Fletcher,
(Loco Foco,) no definite returns have been
received. In the counties heard from there
is a large majority for Silas H. Jenison, the
Whig gubernatorial candidate.
The following will show the relative
strenth of the parties in the legislature. in the

ILLINOIS.
The Teona Register of the 25th says, "it
is yet unknown how the election has resulted
in the Third Congressional District." Of Mr.
Carlin's election as Governor, there is no
longera doubt. The same paper remarks in
reference to the state of parties in the Legis
lature, that "if the three counties to hear
from do notvary from the last year, the two
parties if there be but ono member from
Lawrence, will he equally divided, and the
conservatives will hold the balance of power."
PUBLIC PLUNDER.
Mr. Croswell, or some other Albanian of the
Regency School, once said, "the public is a
goose and he is a fool toat does not pluck a
leather."
This adage is beautifully illustrated by the
facts stated below by the Albany F.vening
Journal.
TO BE REMEMBERED.
"In November 1837, William L. Marcy,
Azariah G. Flagg, Samuel Beardsley and John
\. Dix, the Governor Comptroller, Attorney
General and Secretary of State, purchased by
Eclwid Croswell, the State Printer, a'Dwc ling
House, avowedly js an Executive Mansion, for
which they paid the State Printer NINETEEN
THOUSAND DOLLARS FROM THE
STATE!
Let it be remembered —That tbis money
was advanced to Edwin Croswell at a time when
money was worth twelve or fourteen per cent
interest previous to the conveyance of the pro
perty and six months before the State Printer
was required to give the State possession of its
Mansion!
Let it be remembered —That nearly ten
months have elapsed since the purchase of that
House, and that instead of being occupied by
the Goveruor, Vjroswell has received his 819,
00 and keeps possession of the House !
