Full returns from the six States where elecüons. were held the fitst week in August have not been received. Th ree of them were Whig in 1840, and three were Democratie. It was supposed that their political character would not be altered at these e]ections. We shall have full returns next week. It is estimated that the Whig majority in North Carolina will be about 5,000. Harrison's majority in that State in 1840 was 12,000. The following items from the Western Citizen will show that the Liberty men of Illinois are NOT ALL TURNED TO CLAY. THE ELECTION. We have received hut kw returns of the election. Next week we shall probably be able to give nearly all of the returns for the fourth district. A few returns have come in Lcom the country. Tbey turn out well. If the whole district does as well as those preeincts from which we have heard, we shall have 2,500 or 3.000 votes in this .district. COOK COUNTY. The Liberty vote in Chicago is about 200. In the county as far as heard from, about 70. The Liberty vote will be doubled in this county since the election last year. We ought to have done more than that, and should ii we had had meetings in this city, and attendod to the ' ness properly. r r j ,Wentworth has a majority of over five liimdred in the city. The whole Democratie ticket for the county is elected. LAKE COUNTY. Middlesex Precinct. - The following is the result of the election in this Precict: LIBERTY TICKET.

B The proslavery parties voted one ticket . for Precinct officers - and were more or ■ less split up in voting for the variouscandidates of their respective parties. Both parties were effectually whipped out in this precinct, and the Wlugs most desperately. Burlington Precinct.- Take courage Friend Eastman, and put on the steam, the waves will soon roll over, and the storm be past, and a calm will follow; when Liberty shall triumph, and plant her banner in every State of this Union, and this world, for her success is certain. Last year was cast the first vote for Liberty in this Precinct; we had seven, and we concluded to drop the doublé system and go farther yesterday. We had 18, and I believe if all the Liberty votes belonging to this Precinct, had been polled here, we should come up to treble, in one year.KANE COUNTY. Sí.

Warrenville,- Lib. 67; Dem. 79; Whig 43.
