Elections for Members of the General Assembly and for Members of Congress, were held in this State during the first three days of last week.—Though our exact returns are not so numerous as we expected they would be by this time—many gentleman on whom we thought we might depend for information designed for the public, notwithstanding the reign of terror in the Post Office Department, having disappointed us—yet we have enough to show that the Jackson party in this State is completely defeated,—routed "horse, foot and dragoon" overthrown, never to rise again, unless it rise, as before, under a new organization, with a new party name. "Jackson and Reform" has become, even now, almost as ungrateful to the ear as the sound of the words Relief and New Court, and the time is at hand when we shall only hear of "Jackson and Reform," as we hear the howling of the hungry wolves—far off in the hills and swamps.—Frankfort Commentator.
