In this district tho Democrats have lost their

by v 1190; jn Westmoreland the'Democratic
candidate for Congress is defeated; in the
Schuylkill district the' regular Democratic
hdmihed for Congress-is defeated; the Whig
nominee-for Congress in Chester and Delaware
is defeated by a Democrat, &o. In Adams the
pemperita have elected a member of Assembly;
