The Buffalo Commercial Advertiser of Saturday says—
The following returns from three of the Northern counties of Indiana, were endorsed on a way bill received at the Post Office this morning:
St. Joseph county 170 Whig.
Laporte 50
Elkhart 150
These returns may be correct, but we suspect Elkhart should be set down in the locofoco column. It gave 175 majority that way last year.
So far as heard from, 21 Whigs and 10 Locos are elected to the Legislature. Whig gain of 2. Senate—Whigs 19, Locos 15. Whig gain 4.
