The Arkansas Advocate

According to present appearances, there will be, in the next Legislature, about 60 Whigs and 40 administration men--or a Whig majority of 20. Some of the strongest Whig counties have elected Jackson Representatives, partly because our opponents raised the universal cry of no party, and partly because our friends felt little or no excitement, quieting themselves with the confident assurance, that a Tory majority in the Legislature of Kentucky was a thing altogether beyond the bounds of possibility: The Jackson papers themselves, especially the Advertiser of this city, averred that their party had no expectation of Legislative ascendency, and, that they were laboring for no such vain and hopeless object. Had party lines been rigidly drawn, the Whigs, instead of electing merely three fifths of the members of the Legislature as they have now done, would have elected more than three-fourths of them.
