List of votes for Governor.
12140 12176

Verbal information from different parts of the State (if correct) confirm the election of Mr. Langdon, by the People, to the office of Governor of the State of New-Hampshire Federal assertions to the contrary notwithstanding.
New-Hampshire Election.

Some of the Boston papers have mentioned the result of the votes for Governor in this state, which is said to comprise a list of 203 towns, taken from a New-Hampshire paper, and from these premises have proceeded to pronounce with a great degree of certainty on the final issue of the election. From whatever other source this information may have been derived, we are certain it was not taken from a New-Hampshire paper. We have every one of these before us, published since the election, from which this pretended information could have been received, and after the most careful examination of all of them, we can find the votes of only 186 towns--which gives Mr. Gilman 12155, and Mr. Langdon 12197

We have in preparing the above statement, been at considerable pains to make it as correct as the nature of the thing will admit. Having all the different statements before us, we have compared them with each other and taken those which appeared most likely to be correct. We have also carefully reviewed our own statements, and found several material errors in our former hasty addition: which will account for the different footing, now presented from that which was last given. On the whole, we think the result of the election extremely doubtful. When the votes are sorted and counted they may, and probably will differ considerably from the newspaper statements, as these are not generally from official sources. There are still a few towns in the upper part. of the State, from which we have not heard: and from most of which we probably never shall. Who will be our next governor must therefore remain uncertain till the first Wednesday of June next.--Farmers Cabinet.

We believe the above statement to be the most correct, of any that has come to hand.
