The House stands 178 Whigsto 174 Democrats. It is gaid tho Sécate stands 15 Democrate to 10 Whiga, Icaviiig imeen vacancies to be filled. The iiiial result is unccrtam. We copicd from the Tocsin. he announcement tkat William Jackson waa eiected to Congrcas from tho ninth District. Tliis is a mistak e. Mr. Jackson is the Liberty candid ale, and was taken up by the Whigs, aftcr lliey found by the first trial they could nol elect a man of their own. But part of the WhigB backed out, and ningnnnimously threw away their votes, and thus tlefcated the election. We mentioacd last week the drawing iots for Represcntatives in Townshend, by the two parties, to sec wliich candidate both partie6 should unite upon, so as to defeat the Liberty candidate. The Emancipator remarks: Tho following parngraph, from the Concord Frceman, may !iow to what expedienté we may yet drive the pro-slavery pardea. Only tliink ol' Whigs nnd Demócrata drmchig Iots, to eee which slmü govern the State, rather than elect a genuinc Liberty man. Wonder if they would not draw lots between Henry Clay and John C. Calhoun, the unconvicted murdercr and unpunishcd traitor, rather than sce Birncy, the Just, eeatt-'d in the presuletuial cliair.
