We have been wuitiog br 8j;ne time to get the correct returna from ihis State. Botïi pnrtie as uuai, have shouted -'Glorious Victoiy!" The lollowing i the resul t aa far as w'é h;ive heard. Congres.

Slade aud-Cfiddings have been trying t serve ti pro-slavery party and the cnjise of Liberty at ihe same time. j.But theequilibrium ctihnot bc maintained. They mus', become thoroiígli Whigs. or thorough Liberty, men. The' lollowing extract from Mr. Sladc'a acceptance oí his nomination for Governor shows tliat even he'u not r.s intned to hold up Mr. Clay as an anti-slavery man! "I rcjoice to eoy that l lielieve Henry Clay has. ani wiLL do more to abolisk slnvery in titis Unioñ tk-in any oüitr man. Mr. Clay js a cilizen ot theöouib: the Souih know tliat hjs teelings and aympathies are with tfaem, and cunsequently are lesa ready to suspect the purity of lus motives upon this great quesuon. Living, as lie does, in the midst of these institutions. hie facilities are ore ampie for warring againsi them." Q-T" From the best evidence we can obioiri !t appears rhat Citarles Burchard, the renouncing Abolitontst, did vote (he Liberty ticket, or a portion of it last 6pring. We kuow nothing more cóncerning liim. The' laat Liberty Standard, of Maine, brings nè the le'.tcr 'oí Williain H. Hobbey. renouncing Whiggery. We might publish it as an oflset to that of Mr. Burchard, which is so extensively circulated omongthe Whigs. But each renunciation only provei that individuals alter their opiniqns. In the one caae, one Whig out of a mili ion and a quarter has left his party: in the other. oria'LÍBerty Tnari ' nmong 57,000 has concluded ag'atn to vote with his old party associates.

The eincority ot Henry Clny's letter on this l question, is very rnUch doubled by cenain well niforined whigs in thia part of the country.- Ali legan Record. We never hnve contended that C. M. CI;iy was "consisient" in sjpporting the great "De. fender of Negro Slnvery." We have ahvns . spiken of hia course na inconsistent with hie proi'essed principies. But we believc him honest nnu sincere in his opposition to the Annexation of Texas. In answer to the second inquirv, we reply. that, in our opinión, lhe election of Mr. Clny will be no security whatever against the Annexation of Texas. The Wliigs, as a party, have not token any ground ag.unst iuture annexaiion. It is let by ihem as nn open question, to be decided iiccording lo the circumstances which may arise. Should Mr. Clny be elected, we should think Annexation would probably take plnce. HU Gen. Jackson confirmsour account of the supremacy of the Slave Power over the Democratie party. Hear him, in a recent letter on Annexniion: "No one eouM erret more than I did, the pn. si:ion in which mffriend Mr. Vnn Buren placed himself by hie letter on the annexation of Texus Had he come out for irnmidtaü ann-xation.. Ac icovld have. reciiced tte unavimous rote of the cor.v?n;ionas n cunditatcfor ttieprcsvlency, and would have heen sdected by ihe soutk and west fit ticclamntion. Althoiigh I regret losing Mr. V. B. and the cause, yet 1 rejoice that ihe conveniion hnve made choice of those worthy demócrata, Polk and Dallas."
