ii'?i in tn r- i i ii? THE GAZETTE. &&3MSW. WEDNESDAY MORNING, OCT. 21. The Pee Dee Agricultural Society In 1J i's aeminnnual meeting on Friday of lust week. The attendance of members was good but there were few competitors for premiums. If planter? wish to give interest nnd spirt to the meeting* tlioy must tnkr pains t? prepare for the exhibitions. 01 hog* only three were exhibited; but these were worth exhibiting nnd would have be-n admired even in Albany. They were a Berkshire boar by Maj. \V. T. Ellerbe, and n sow of the same breed, by Col. D. S. liar" ll'i', with a sliole from her first litter of pigs by tl?c her si le. Being without coinpetition th-y of course took the premiums. - Col. Marshall took the premium for the best milch cow ; but without competition.? Ho also took the premium last fall, and in both instances with cows from the North apparently of the Devonshire stock. Had some of his last year's competitois brought forward tin sime cows again, they might perhaps now have been more successful; that is, unless, their rows were starved or frozen to death Inst winter. The Secretary, we suppose, will in due time, furnish us with an official report of proceedings. We shall not further anticipate him. Aft r the exhibition of stock, a lot of rat. tie sent down from York district were off rtil for sal?-f and brought what wo considered good price*. Among tl cm were threenulcli cow* wi:h an A\res?1iiro cross from nn importation, wV'Tal years sine*4, by the late (Jen. I) ivi?*. These biowght 31, 37 and 60 dollar?, without their calves. The one which brought $50 was 1 o years old; but site was a b autiful cow and an extraordinary milk- r. I was our fortune to procure the most deeply crossed with the A \ resh re. Tlic Hist milk we had drawn froin her when skimmed, after, standing 18 houn, resembled in appearance and taste, more a mixture of fresh milk and cream than skimmed ni ik. We have a half Durham, a good milker; but her yield is mere milk and waltr compared with that of the Ayreshir**. If Ayrshire* generally ire like this, we advise the lovers of rich milk to supply theinst-lvcs 'rom that s'ock. Four half Durham calves, of the snme ttock, aged from 6 to 9 or 10 months, were sold at prices from $30 to $70. One af llvw, a heifer Calf, 6 or 6 months old, brought $50. They were splendid calves, for their age. Two s:eers tliiee years old, unbroken, brought $91.? Alter this sale, a beautiful bull, with a deep eross of the Devonshire, was sold by f'oiv Mai shall and Dubose, to close a partnership in him and was bought by ono of the partners at $50. The best bargain of Ire day. ? ELECTION RETURNS. Chesterfield.?liooec of Representatives; J. \V. Blakcney and???Jackson. Marlborough.?House of Representatives: CW. Dudlry, Win. T. Ellerhe.

Election.?In District there were two sots of os,njVKp^y<tr 'the Husk of Reoreacntatircs *?Jthe contest was as anima i it is not known for whom they wero cast. 1' the same candidates arc still the highest on the W, they are entitled to a decision in llicir favor; J or if only a put of them arc still highest, the I decision must be in favor of these. So oric is | to be a lowed to take a seat as a representative of the pcopla who<e election could possibly Irav.e . been effected by votes known^and proved to'be (illega1. And on the other hand, no one elected ' by the people to represent them, is tb be dchareil 1 I from his seat, merely because illegal* Votes were j cast, when it w evident that if the jllrg il votes . had not been cast, he would still have bach elected by votes not called in question. Sow, in tl.e i case b< fore us, if the 17 illegal voles be tikrn i 'I from the highest on the list, thut is fiorn the; ! Whig candidates, counting still (or the Adminit- | , tration candidates all the votes cast for them, the j numbers will stand thus; , Whigs GO 3, GO 2, CO I, f>92 Administration G03, 596, 596, 336 the four highost being three on the Whig ticket, and one on the Administration ticket. It is . ' | therefore manifest that if the 17 illegal votes had j ! not been cast, tho three highest candidates on ; the Wing ticket n>Us>t have been elected by votes j not now called in question ; and the managers ' ought therefore, most u iiquet.tioiiabIy.lo have so ! i declared. B c use tlie rights of legal Voters are ' net invalidated by the fact that a few men ! destitute of prmc p!o li tppan to voto tho i j same ticket they do. Suppose that the majority ! of the three highest on the list, had been 500, j < would their (.lection be invalid on account of the 1 | ! 17 illegal vot>s? Certainly not. And why I I should it when the majority is smaller, so long j 1 us it is greater than the whole number of ille gal j i votes? For u fiir majority <?f one vole cast for a j candidate is as complete and unquestionable an j election as a majority of ono thousand votes, j Is Col. Elmore entitled to a neat as the fourth I # ' * representative of Richland? If it can be proved j that the 17 ilirgil votes wcro cist on the Whig side, ho is us much so as Gen. Adams the high- j est on the Whig list; for he received the same J number of legal votes. But inasmuch an it is] uncertain on which side tho illegal voles were j cast there is just as much reaton for deducing , thein from tho number received bv Col. Elmore as from the number received by Mr. Wade; and I J-J.. ?I .1 f U...U \V J UUUUCUIIg U1UI1I UUVII| ICUIV9 .VII* v* I MHWUU and Col. Elmore behind all the Whig candidal 8. The uncort&inty on which wide the illegal votes j wore cast renders it uncerta n whother it was Col. Elmore or Mr. Wade who received the | greater number of legal votes. U.doss therefore, further discovery is mado in regard to the ill gal votes, a new election ought to be ordered . to choose a fmrlh representative by the district. * Georgia Ej kctio.n.?Returns from 61 counties give the Whig Ticket for Congress a majorii ty of more than four thousand.

Accounts have \ reached us from 11 outof 13 counties, wln< h ' g've the Whigs n gain of 3 Council incn and j 8 Assembly men. The Whig gain in the the aggregate vote, since the Congression al election in lft33 is 945. Tho Whigs are very confident of carrying the slate for Harrison in November. 'The Democrats" ay thoy shall have a race for it. J i Saice the above was in typo we have fu'l J returns from N. Jersey. The State of parties in tho Legislature tho same ns above. The eggngate Whig majority 1115. Eh c'ions were held last week in Pennsylvania, N. Jersey and Ohio. The-*? have j' commonly been put down among the doubt- | ful States. The following is a statement * of the strength of parties four years ago and since. Ohio.?At the Presid< n ial e lection in 1838, Ohio gave the Wing Electoral ticket a majority ol 8457. In Ooctober of ifie { same year, Vance (Whig) was elected . Govemer by r niHjority of 601G. In 1838, Wilson Shannon (V. B.) was elected Gov. ernor by a majori y of573S ove r Vance.? The Leg slature chosen in 183G was Van Buren by a majority of 2 in the Senate and i 4 in the House, In 1837 the tables were i turned, the Whigs having a majority of 4 ; in the Senate and 8 in the House. In 1838 [ the V. Buren men again came into power, . having a majority ol 2 in the Scna'c and 4 ? in the House. In 1833 they carried a mai jority of 14 in the Senate and 24 in the . House. The general impression is, that, a great change bus taken place in the politi. ( cal views of the Ohio tns since the date of the l ist election. The Cincinnaiti Gazelle cla'msa Whig majority, in the S ate, of ( over 20,000. But it is not best to be loo sanguine. The Senate consists of3G member*,'?House 72. ?

The common, and evidently the correct rtilI in deciding contested elections, is to deduct j from the highest on the iist, the whole number of ; j illegal votes proved to have been given, when _ P chosen Governor by a majority of 9228.? rhe Legislature in 1836 comprise*! h innjority o' 49 Van Huron men in joint hallo*. In '837, the VY bigs gained the Senate by 4 while in tlie House there was n V. B. majority of 12. In 1838 the VVIrgi bad a majority in'both Houses;' in the Senate 13.?in Assembly 4. Last year the e was a V. B. majority ot one in tlie Senate, and 33intiio.llou.se. Tt?u S -nato consists of 33 members,?House 100. New Jersey:?In 1836 New Jersey chose Whig Kloctors of President, by h ma. jority of 545. In 1838, occurred the disputed Congressional election which has created so much discussion in and out of Congress. One Whip was admitted to he c t o elected: while on the otht r hand it was claimed by the Van Buren inen that five of iheir candidates were elected. Congress, it is well known, dec d'-d in favor of this claim. The vo!e however may he sei down as about a tie. Last year, in several <>f the counties, there was no conies'. The Legislature in 183G comprised a V. B. majority of 12; in 1837 n Whig of 23; in 1838, u Whig majority of 12; in 1839, a Whig majority of 16. The Council consists of IS members; the Assembly, of 53. Each, county elects one Council.man, and po more, whatcveer may be i'x population. S pee the last election Hudson Qounty, comprising Jersey Ci v and Bergen.: township, has been set olF from Bergen County, it sends one Assemblyman; Bergen County two. Befora the division, Bergen sent three Assembly.men. Maryland Election.?The W'liigs have CO i?i the House of Delegates and 15 in the Senate; whib tho Van Burcn party have 1) in the firmer, and 6 in t'<e latter; making a majority for tho Whigs, of 51, on joint ballot. Tho aggregate popular >oto gave the Van Huron party a majority of 912 at the Congressional election las* | year, whi'st the aggregate popular vote at the recent election- gave the Whigs a majority of 2357, being a gain of 31G3.

This information wp obtain from an Extra Pennsylvanian, V. B. paper, which gives all the details. The vo'o of Piiilml-lphia City for Gov. j iernor in 1833, was 7603 for Rimer, and ; 3156 for Porter. Whig majority, then, f 4^)47. At the Preside tv in I ?'let>tion' in 1836, ihe Whig majority was 2719. The V. B. majority in the Sfate in 1838 was 9228; in 1836, 4364. CONGRESSMEN ELECTED.
