House of Delegates.—Democrats 64,—Federalists 67.—And several contested elections.
Senate.—Democrats 16,—Federalists 16. Popular, or aggregate vote—a clear Democratic majority of four thousand, and which, in November, will be increased to six thousand the vain boasting of the Federal Whiggery to the contrary, notwithstanding.
If justice be done in the contested elections, the Democratic majority in the House of Delegates will be three.
Virginia is for Van Buren, and no mistake.
So much for "Whig" pageants, and "hard cider" triumphs.—Raleigh N. C. Standard.
