The Liberty vote in ihis State in 1840 u-as 159, in 1341. 527. in 1842," it was 931, in 1343 it was 1,954. ' We have received only partial returns of the recent election: but f rom these t appears that the Liberty vote of one Congressional District is greater than the vote of the whole State last ycar! We gather Ihe following iteras from the Western Citizen: Liberiy. Wlñg Dem. Cook County, 27ö 793 1.738 Dupage, " 145 317 519 Kane, 284 547 850 KendaM, v 143 ' 287 - 457 Putnam, 55 237 191 LaSalle, . 150 444 1077 Wil]. " 230 Vermillion " 50 Boono, 47 280 354 The vote for Henderson, Lib. candidate for the JFourth Congressional Dis, trict, as far Èk heard from, is 1413. The Citizen sqg of this District: "We. are assuredthat our vote wiïl fall little ifV-iny short of doubling. Mfiny of the Liberty men slaid" away from the polls, as they were busily engaged in their harvest fields. Tiie hope of clectiiig their cid not inspire tliem lo nctiviiy - though the prospect oï success sliould have done it, as success ahvays attendsa Liberty vote. Wentworth in tlie üurth District is elected by a large majority over the Whig candidate. Thcre is apparently a great increase of the Democratie vote, but when the aggregate of the vote is given tliere will not be found but little if any actual increase, the larger majorities being inconsequence of the greut falling off of the Wljig vote and the large increase of the Liberty vote."
