Georgia Election. The returns from this State are favorable to the Whigs. A slip from the Milledgeville Record says there is but little doubt of the re-election of Gov. Crawford by from 1000 to 1500, and that the Whigs will have a sufficient majority in the house of delegates to overbalance the senate, where it is thought the Democrats will be in a small majority.

The following is the result for Governor in 65 counties, compared with the Presidential vote, when Mr. Polk carried the State by 2019.
Crawford. McAllister. Clay. Polk.
65 Counties, 17,359 15,609 31,469 18,531
Crawford's maj. 1,750 Polk's maj. 1,065
This shows a whig gain of 2810. There are 103 counties in the State.
