Such does not appear to be the case with either Everett or Morton, (though the latter is several hundred votes ahead,) so that by pro vision of law, the election devolves on the Legislature. The composition of that body, too* is rather uncertain, each party claiming a majority. Mississippi. The two administration can didates are elected tto Congress. * Condensed statement of the condition of tbe Banks of South Carolina, at returned to his Excellency the Governor, November, 1839.
