Republican Nett gain 554!

Returns of votes from 102 towns, have been received, which are given above. It is a subject of joyous gratulation to our republican friends, that notwithstanding the persevering efforts of faction, Gov. PLUMER will be re-elected by a very large and encreased majority; and it may safely be asserted that every branch of our state government for the ensuing year will be decidedly republican. The votes for Dr. Bartlett will not probably exceed 300 thro' the state, and of this number about one half are supposed to be thrown by federalists.--Should

the remaining towns come in as favorably as those already received, Gov. Plumer's majority will not fall much short of FOUR THOUSAND VOTES.

We have contrasted with last Spring election—and have placed against Gov. Plumer's votes, all those given in for Messrs. Sheafe, Mason, Bartlett, and the scattering, added together. Allowing all these votes to belong to Mr. Sheafe, there appears to be a nett republican gain of FIVE HUNDRED AND FIFTY-FOUR, since the last election,

We have heard of several changes of Representatives, a majority of which are in favor of the Republicans. We shall give a statement of them in our next. The majority in the House and Senate, will undoubtedly be increased.
