Our extracts from the Whig Presses of Ohio, published to-day, and which form but amoeilyof what we have on hand, lead us to suspect that Ohio is as good a Whig State as any in the Union, IF WHIO ACTION COULD ONLY BE CONCENTRATED.We have suffered from three main operating causes: 1st. Local questions, in relation to county seats and county boundaries. 2d. The introduction of collateral and subsidiary topics, both moral, political, and sectional. 3d. The want of some determinate Presidential candidato, under whose flag to rally, and the want of unanimity in regard to the claims and prospects of Gen. Harrison. We are cautious in what we are now saying. Many of the Whig Presses of the State speak of the apathy and inaction of the Whigs. It is all a mistake. Give the Whigs of Ohio a fixed object, and they will approacli it as fearlessly and as compactly as the bravest and best disciplined of their opponents. But they cannot and will not act when the result of their action appears evasive. In all those counties, where the question of Harrison and Clay was mooted, the Van Burenitcs have triumphed, almost without opposition. Cuyohoga was nearly lost and would have been lost, had not the Whig editors there possessed as much good sense as talent. They dropped this vexatious and injurious discussion, and saved their county. In Hamilton, the Whig editors preferred a war with their brethren about problematical chances and conventional predilections to the main object of redeeming theircoun ty and the consequence was, that the Van Bu-ren party walked over them like a tornado. The Cincinnati Gazette we except from this censure, but it was culpably apathetic in not attempting to bring the county, that claims Gen. Harrison as its citizen, into the fold of the true political faith, One truth is now manifest we are sorry it was not equally manifest three years ago that had the flag of Gen. Harrison been kept flying over the Whig party of the Union, from 1830 un til this time, tho Whigs of Ohio would not now be lamenting their defeat. We have no disposl tion either to scold or to fret. If the error is past remedy, our regrets cannot correct it, and an ex pression of acrimony will only render it less re trievable. To the Whig Press of Ohio we look for a dis passionate index to the course we ought now to pursue. The character of dictator we abjure and abhor. It is not our wish to be even supposed of sufficient importance to give cither tone or character to Ohio Whigism but wo will say this much "Wk shall continue to oppose the ADMINISTRATION OP MARTIN VAN BuREN WHILE WE HAVE A SHOT IN THE LOCKER ! " perpetrated by the men in power, in openUny, would not have change! the vote of the State, after having once given it under circumstances that appealed most sensibly to every man of sense. It appeared to us, useless to struggle against the torrent, unless we could oe oeiier organized, ana command means, nnu pince our power in the same concentrated channel that our enemies have done. We, however, are prepared, whether our Whig brethren fight or not, to die with our harness on. We will fight as the old man did in the revolution, "on our own hook." We will quarrel with the measures of the parly, and if the Nation al Convention thinks proper, and can, unite our forces make them effective, we will fight too, in the line. But we do not intend to try and bring up one column of our forces while the other is falling back into another channel and endeavoring to effect another object. If the Whig torce can be brought to bear upon Mon- fMav. nnnn flan. Harrison, nnon nnv man. and if hey will all go into it with a wilt, as one man, neith- regarding money nor time in the encounter, until Ihey produce the desired reform, until they destroy every vestige of Van Burenism and sow ashes on the walls of their strong holds, we are with mom; we ill labor with them unto Ihe death, but we are urea of such policy as has been practiced when the welfare of a great nation is at stake. BANK SUSPENSION. Since the suspension of the Philadelphia and Baltimore Banks, the example has been follow ed by all the Cincinnati Banks, except the Commercial, which, probably, is too well fortified by its resources to resort to the expedient for some weeks. The Dayton Bank suspended contem poraneously with tho Cincinnati Banks, and the Urbana Bank, although it has not exactly suspen ded, has restricted its specie payments to some considerable extent. The Franklin and Clinton Banks of Columbus both continue to pay specie, and do not intend to suspend. The Franklin Bank, we understand, has addressed a circular to the stockholders on the subject of winding up its concerns. We should be pleased to have a copy of that same circular for publication. Perhaps some one of the officers of the Franklin might oblige THE TIMES AND PROSPECTS. There are seasons for reflection in politics, as well as in matters of graver import It was with a deep and abiding faith in the truth of this proposition, modern though it be, that we penned our editorial, a week since, under the caption of "Cal Reflection." The Whigs of Ohio have been routed thoroughly routed by their opponents. There must have been a competent cause for this result. To investigate this cause, "calm reflection," unaided by declamation and unattended by those rhetorical flights which appeal only to the passions, must be adopted. Our friend, Wharton, of the Wheeling Times a man whose heart we revere for its honesty, and whose talents we admire for their brilliancy has taken one of our remarks for a text, and has giv en us, in a short but comprehensive sermon, summary view of the matter, to which we sub scribe at once. Our remarks, we must confess, were thrown out as a feeler. The Whigs, as general mlo, are rather too easily dispirited. They look upon a political reverse as a thorough and irretrievable defeat. This is wrong. But it requires more address than we possess, and moro eloquence than has evor boon at our commnnd to make litem scnsiblo of a fault so inimical to their interests and so lilllo complimentary to the pride. For ourself, we are determined to see the end of die campaign. No bribes can buy us into tame subservience to the rtgimt of Van Uuren and threats we despise. All we ask, is, tin those who warred by our side during the recent struggle in Ohio, shall remain firm in their prin ciples. If they quail, we shall be left powerless We cannot promise victory but we can promise consistency of action and rectitude of motive, But to our friond Wharton. He sets out by copying from onr remarks of Friday. "It serins like madness to contend against an over whelming fate against a tores thai is sure to eruth us, What, ihen, shall we do! bhall we cease ill oppnti tion to the common enemy, and sit down in inactio and dcapalil Cin the operation of a Whin National Convention give a new imprlua to our exertions or in dicate any iresn prospect or ultimate success ITv future looks dark enough, Heaven knows! and vU our Whin colemporarirs join us, we shall go on with the war caring neither (or the Jihea and jeers of our enemies, nor disheartened by the luke-warmness of our friends. What says the Whig prrss of Ohio and of the Uniout Khali we slack our aims and surrender at discretion or slull ws "die wilh harness ou our backs!" Ohio Stale Journal. The Ohio State Journal now occupies the same position we have done since the commencement of the Ohio canvass, nay, since the elections in Ohio and Pennsylvania last year. We do not prelcnd to prophecy, but the defeat in Ohio was evident, from the time of the election last year. If the people of the 8tal, would, in the fats of the evidences ofmal-ad-minisirtlion, then evident to all, give Ihe Slate into Ihe hands of the Administration, they would do it again. Nothing has occurred, or was likely to occur, to change ihe politics nf ihe Slate before ihe present election. No crime, no baseness, no Incompetency could hava changed that volt. Ths veriest Ylllany We are not the champion of the Banks. We regard these institutions in precisely the same light with which we view our flouring mills, our cloth manufactories, our mercantile establish ments, and our blacksmith shops. As long as they conduce to tho public interest, we shall not consent to stand by, the silent witness of their destruction. When they forget their obligations to the public, we shall be the first to hold the rod of chastisement over their faults. As matters now stand, the duty of the Banks to the public is plainly indicated. THEY OUGHT TO SUS PEND. A fictitious and a senseless war has been waged against them by a class of men who never understood, and whose brains never were constituted to understand, the first principles in the rudiments of finance. The Banks must bow before the prowess of their enemies that must be their fate but, in making their surrender, they must be cautious not to make their own defeat a curse to the general public. We ask them to regard our admonitions wilh respect. but for a mistake in selecting a candidate for Sheriff, would have earried every office in the county except Commissioner. This result is not owing to the strength of our opponents, but want of union among ourselves. Wo have again and again warned our Whig friends of the consequences that must inevitably result from opposition to the regular nominations. The experiment has been made; and we apprehend the let-ton will not soon be forgotten. ASHTABULA COUNTY. There are two good Whig papers in Ashtabula the Conneaut Gazette and the Ashtabula Sentinel. There appears to have been a family quarrel between them on the subject of Abolition. We forbear to copy from either, and content ourself by copying the following letter from an intelligent Whig of that county which, without pretending to endorse all its sentiments, we presume will show why Ashtabula has teemed to j depart from the true political faith : Ashtabula County, October 12, 1839. Gen. Allen Sir: The result of the election in this county will doubtless surprise those who are unacquainted with the causes which have produced this nnatural state ol things, rorthetirst time in ten ears. An Administration man has been elected a mem ber of the legislature from this eounly; and I trust it may be the last. If you ask the cause of this unexpected result, Ihe answer is, that it was political aboli tion. Abolition, that rock upon which it is greatly to be feared Ihe Whig party is destined to be shipwrecked, has been for several years silently, but persevering-ly at work in this county; and the party, as it became strengthened, became bolder, until at length, it stole into, and controled our conventions, and bore away in triumph our good old Whig banner. There are in this county about 5000 voters the Van Buren party numbering about 800, the abolitionists from 600 to 800, and the balance are true, genuine Whigs. Our nominations are made by conventions, and the prima ry meetings lor the choice of delegates are generally but thinly attended. The 800 abolitionists, scattered over the county, have thus been enabled, through the apathy of the Whigs, and their own false professions and unparalleled exertions, to obtain a majority in our conventions. Last year, the Whigs forbore, and permitted them to guide the ship, (rusting that another year would una them less proscripttve, but In this we were mistaken; for, encouraged by their former sucj cess, they took a position, which rendered it absolutely necessary for the Whigs to submit, and thus to unite abolition and Whigism in this county, or to fight a party which was sailing under their own flair. We chose was di Dr. Aquilla Toland is the delegate from this (the 8 ill) Congressional District of Ohio to the National Whig Convention at Harrisburgh. In eonscquence of a typographical error in the art! cle which appeared in last Friday's papor, in reference to the credit of Macomb County Bank notes, which materially alters the meaning of the writer, we repub lish it to-day. 7b Me Editor of the Ohio Slate Journali Sir: It may be interesting to some of your readers to know how the credit of the Bank of Macomb County, Michigan, about which several articles have been written, both in your paper and the statesman, calcu lated and intended to depreciate its paper and injurs its circulation, stands In some ol tho Eastern and Northern cities. The following is from the Herald and t-taxette, ot Lleveland: "Macomb County Bank. via are informed that the notes of this bank are received on deposile, and in payment of debts, by the banks of this city, same as Ohio bank notes." The Patriot, printed at Mount Clemens, where the bank is located, has the following: " ' Bills of the Macomb County Hank continue to be redeemed at 3 per cent, discount.' " " 1 he above is from ths Hntl.ilo Commercial Ad vertiser, of September 3. Mr. Kmerson, the Cashier, who has had ths management or the attain or that in-stilution, is richly deserving of much oredil for the manner (alike honorable to himself, and honestly towards the public) he has performed his various duiies. The Macomb County Dank is undoubtedly as solvent as any hank in the Slate." The New York Herald, of the 20th September, says: "The bills of the Macomb County Dank are redeemed at Ihe office of D. Franklin li Co., W all-street, at 5 per cent." The banks of Ohio are redeemed in New-York at from Gj to 7 per cent. Thus it will be seen thai (ha notes of the Bank of Macomb County are belter by 1) to 8 per cent., in that city, than those of Columbus. A writer in Ihe Statesman, over the signature of "A Real Cilizon," quotes a loiter, purporting to be written from Detroit, in which it is stated that Ihe officers of the bank themselves procured an injunction, and then refused depositors their deposilos. I know not whether that letter was really written in Detroit, or manufactured for the occasion, to suit the purposes of the writer; but I am persuaded Ihe author, in view of the fnclt in tho case, would be very unwilling to publish his name wilh the statements made in the letter, or to attempt any satisfactory proof. The injunction was not procured by the officers of the Bank of Macomb County, nor was it procured by fair meant; and I challenge "A Heat Citizen" to prove Ihe contrary. But my object was not so much to expose Ihe false statements of that writer, as to show your resders that these notes, however much they may be discredited by Ihe banks of Ihis city, have as lair a credit in the e. , I. - .

Wo promised, last Tuesday, to give the opinions of our colcniporaris of the Ohio Whig Press to-day. We now proceed with our task first soliciting the attention of our readers to the extracts that follow: ATHENS COUNTY, from the Athens Osteite, Oct. 12. By reference to Ihe abstract of voles given on Tuesday Inst, it will be seen thai Ihe Whig candidates for Senator and Representative have succeeded in Ihis county by sn average majority of 183. The Van Iiuren party have elected ths Treasurer and Coroner, and not to submit, but in the mode of fighting there fiiculty. By the management of the Central Committee, the convention was postponed until Ihe very eve ot the election; thus preventing us Irom cal ing another convention, and forcing us to amalgamate wilh the Administration party. Wilh three weeks' time, we could have carried an independent Whig tic ket triumphantly, and thus have avoided Ihe necessity of electing a Van Burenile, but it was not allowed us. The compromise did not extend to Senator, and the defeat of Mr. Wade is but another evidence of Ihe uncompromising hostility of Ihe Whigs of these two counties to political abolition. Air. Wade, perhaps, is1 not a political aboimonial, but he was so closely identified with them, that il caused his defeat. Respectfully, Your obedient servant. BELMONT COUNTY. From the St. Clslrsrllls Chronicle, Oct. 15. The election is over, and we, the Whigs, are again most shamefully bealen. We can attribute it to no olhor cause than an almost criminal supineness on the pari ot tne vvnigs. it will be seen by an examination of the official returns that some three or four of Ihe strongest Whig townships in the county have not, by almost a fourth, turned out their usual strength. Thus it is that we are defeated. And thus it will always be until we learn to practice upon the precept of Gen. Harrison, that, "in order to preserve our liberties, we must do our own voting as well as our own fighting." we entertain hopes that the Whtgsot Uelinont will profit by Ihe past, bear in mind the advice of the veteran soldier snd hero of Tipacanoe and Thames, and at the Presidential election, turn out in their full strength, one and all, to reward and honor the author. according to his merits. BUTLER COUNTY. From ths llsmllloa Intelligencer, Oct. 10. Thi Eliction. Messrs. Cameron and Wilson are elected by from four to six hundred. It is plain In see from the smallness or the vote given that the Whigs in general left the whole matter lo lha demo crats. We have learned nothing from any other county. We anticipate a small majority in the next Legislature rsvorable to Ihe Administration. Clay is yet too prom, inent in the field for Ohio to redeem herself. CARROLL COUNTY. From the Carroll Fns Frees, October 11. The election on Tuesday last resulted in the dfest of the entire Whig ticket, by a majority of something nruro Mian aiyuvjr euiei. no wuuio euro ponea on Tuesday lasl, is less by at least one hundred and twen ty-Jive than that pulled lasl fall lha Whig vole being one hundred and eight leu, and the Van Buren vole terenleen or eighteen less lhan at the previous annual election. We are unable to sceount salisfaclorilv for Ihis falling off, or indilference of a portion of our Whig mends. Many ol them, we know, are weary ol poll' tical excitement; and consequently they hava refused to go to the pons. COLUMBIANA COUNTY. From tin New Lisbon rtlladhim, October II The election on Tuesday last in this eounty was a very lams elfair, Ihe Tories having the thing all their owu way. The Whigs hsd no ticket In the field, hut some of them voted for the Independent Democratic ticket, which, however, was defeated hy a large ma, jority and hence Ihe " ultra Looofoco" is elected to the Mate henate over air. bwing, oonlrary to our wishes and the best interests of Ihe rounly. Mr. t.w- ing, we learn, beat Mr. Thompson In Carroll about forty votes Thompson beat Ewing in this eounly nhout one thousand. We also understand that the Tories in Carroll elected their whole coumy ticket by majorities of from 3 lo 5 votes! Some of Ihe Whigs no doubl had a few oats to thrash, or some manure to haul, and thus staid al home, and lost the election, and it may be Ihe Stale! CHAMPAIGN COUNTY. From Ihe Western Cltlsen, October 15. To-day we give our readers Ihe Official Abstraot of votes polled in the several townships of this oounty, from which it will be seen that the Whigs hava ear ned their entire I ickel save the Uommissiuner and he was doubtless elected by Whig votes. This result is the more gratifying lo the ftie mis of correct principles, In consequence or the swaggering and boasting of lha leaders of Ihe parly, that 1'iey would carry Ihe coumy tuts lun; ami to accomplish that oh' led they labored hard, and, (as we predicted.) resort' ea to an sons oi hicks sou nes. n is not necessary that wa should recapitulate them here suffice il lo say, that their conduct in Ihis eounly and district, in Ihe belter days or the Kepublic, would have stamped ihe pariy anil its leaders with disgrace and Infamy. Their labors, however, have been in vain. Victory has sgain percneu upon tne vt nig banner; and il the are but true lo inomseives and tne principles they vocale, Old Champaign will be among the last coun ties of the Slato, to surrender to the enemy. Ths Whigs of tho dilTerenl townships have done nobly; but Wayne township particularly is entitled lo much praise for the noble stand she has lakvn in the cause ol correct principles. We hops aha will main' tain nor integrity. CLERMONT COUNTY. From ths Clermont Couilsr, Oct. 12, Il will be seen from Ihe official returns, in another psrt of our paper, thai Ihe entire Caucus ticket has succeeded in this county, with the exception of the oherllt. Although this result is tar Irom being in accordance, with our wishes, yet we must say that it is quite as favorable as we could have reasonably anticipated. With a majority of four hundred against us, we have done well in not losing all. The vote is smaller by 296 lhan that of lasl year. CLINTON COUNTY. From Ihe Wilmington Whbj, Oct. II. Thi Election is over, and Ihe result has surprised us. We merely saved our " bacon" wilh Ihe eounty officers. We wero sanguine of success, and perhaps too much sn, but we had no idea that the result would turn out as it has. We were oonfident that Mr. Morris's majority would be between three and four hundred. We have more than that much of a majority in the county, but circumstances over which the Whigs had no control, have operated powerfully against us, and reduced our majority to a mere nothing. We do not wish to make excuses for the sake of palavering Ihe matter over, but we do say, and we can prove it to be a tact, that our opponents took every advantage of us. Some of the Van Buren men went through the county and told the people that the election would not bo made a party question and in some of the townships where there are no abolitionists, they staled that lbs question was not Whig and Van Buren, but abolition and anti-abolition. Thoy played Ihe game in an admirable manner to effect their ends. Willi those who are violently opposed to the abolitionists, this question wss put: " can you support an abolitionistl" telling the voters at the same lime that Morris was an abolitionist; and they would sacrifice every principle before they would vote for a Whig if he was represented to be an abolitionist. Where there were abolitionists, these eery tamitlent and "democratic" men told the abolitionists that Morris was a slavery man, "for," said they, " he voted in favor of slavery in the last Legislature.." So soon as this false, hood was circulated among the anti-slavery men, they resolved to vote against morns, and support Ins opponent. The course the Van Buren men pursued to defeat the election of Mr. Morris, operated against all the vv lug candidates. We have lost at least Irom one hundred to one hun dred and fifty votes by the Friends attending (he yearly meeting in Indiana. And we have lost at least two hundred votes by the (armors remaining al home. All these things combined, we have lost our Sonator, but we are not disheartened. Ws will watch our insidious enemy hereafter. COSHOCTON COUNTY. From the Coshocton Spy, October 9. The election in Ihis county " came off" agreeably to the proclamation of our excellent Sheriff, in such cases made and provided, and, as usual, our Van Buren friends have given the Whigs a brushing. They have carried their ticket from head to tail, and we are left to turn up our eyes like ducks in a thunder-storm, and be thankful that it is no worse. No worse ! yes, no worse for, although defeated, we are still in good spirits, and kicking. The Whigs of this county nave more lives than a cat (no mistake in this.) They know how to die, but they do not know how lo resignsurrender, we mean ask pardon fur the error. What we wish to notice more particularly is the fact, that, though we ire beaten, it is by an exceedingly reduced majority.' As an honest Hibernian remarked yesterday, "Ihe Vas Buren majority in this county, this year, is twice as small as it was lasl; and the idea is literally true. Lasl year, we were beaten between 600 and 700 votes this year, a trifle over 800 ! Now, should tho Van Uuren majority continue to decrease unng Ihe ensuing year in the same proportion, their majority next fall will be like the Irishman's flea, when he put his tttjger on it, It was nl there. There are several facts connected with the election calcula ted to afford much encouragement to ihe Whigs. CUYAHOGA COUNTY. From IbsClerelend Herald, Oct. IX We have examined lha returns for this county wilh attention, and compared Ihe vole with that of last year. It may be worm ths reader s while to examine results. n boih contests, Incil and personal feelings have op erated, and it is difficult to select candidates in either election, whose votes shall afford a fair test of the rel ative strength of parlies. We have selected ths votes for Commissioners as giving probably the nearest ap proximation to parly strength last year and Ihis: Messrs. llark,(Whig) and Hell, (Loco) were candi dates last year, and Messrs. Jewell, (Whig) and Ca- noon, (Loco) were Ihe candidates this year. The remarks and comparisons below are based upon the voles for those men. It is known that the aggregate vote of this year is ess than that ol lasl year. The total given for Com missioners this year is 3788. Total last year 4067, railing on this year, 879. The total Whig vote in 1838 was 9376 In 1839, .... 8071 Falling off of W big votes, 305 1 his, it will be observed, is more thin the fallim off in the total vole, by 86.

Our op ponents, as will be seen below, have earried every thing beiora them, and elected ineir enure ticket hy a large msjorily. This result was altogether unanticl- paled, and equally surprised lha W hlgs and Iheir opponents. When it was announced that Mr. Patterson was elected by over 300 m.ijority, and the balance of inv ucaer, oy an average majnrny oi more man xuu, we were so astounded at a result so disastrous and un expected, that we did not slop locxamine the returns lo Inquire whether there had been a Inrgn or small vole given a lull turn out or both Whirrs and Democrats, and a fair expression of ths voice of old Dolaware.' All we knew on the subject we gathered Irom ihe ex ulling boasts of our opponents and the desponding looks of our friends. Wa supposed there had been a general turn-out, and that the emigration into the courtly had added some three hundred voters lo the demo. cratlc forces, or that a Isrge number of W lugs had renounced Iheir long cherished principles and gone over to the enemy and in either case we were almost wil ling lo acknowledge that we were fairly beaten, used up, and exterminated as a parly, with little if anv hope of recovery, and, with many others, disposed lo lei the democracy have full swing, and quietly suhmil lo whal wa eould not help, lleing anxious, however. lo lay the result before our readers, we yeslerdnv eve ning repaired to the Clerk's office fur Ihe purpose nf procuring a correct statement of the votes cast fur each esndidate, Wa compared il with the result of lasl year, and we then for Ihe first tuna dicovered the true cause of our defeat. I he comparison showed that while Ihe Democrats pulled iheiriiW forte, some THREE OK FOUR HUNDRED WIIHiS did not attend the poltt! HIGHLAND COUNTY. From the IlllUboruufh Ntws, Oct.

And (he plain reason why we have not succeeded in this county the present year is, because Ihe Whigt are in Ihe minority; we have not the timber! This appears to be the English of the whole matter.

From a review of the retorns, it seems the Whigs of this county may as well hang up their harps upon the willows. , And so we may say of the State and the Union! JEFFERSON COUNTY. From the flleubenville Hsrsld, Oct. 16. The Democratic Whig party of Jefferson county, believing that the public mind had been poisoned to such a degree last yeat, as not yet to have arrived at a healthy state, made no nomination of a ticket. It is true, that some two or three Whigs presented themselves before the people of the county, but there was no such concert of sclion in their favor as to give them any prospect of success. It was believed by some, that a majority of the voters would have so far regarded their own interests, as at least to have retained those excellent and unexceptionable officers, the Attorney for ihe Slate and the Treasurer hut they had to yield to the violence and malignity of party spirit. As to the senior editor of this paper, who was a volunteer candidate for the assembly, he had no spe cial claims upon the public; but he determined that bulk the Mitchells should not go to Ihe Legislature without opposition. He pitied himself against the most popular of the two, hoping that some Whig might be found patriotic enough to do bat.te against Ihe other. And he is now inclined to the belief that had ths Whigs ran a full ticket, a portion of it, per haps the whole, would have succeeded. LOGAN COUNTY. From the BellsfoaUin Gssetle, October 12. The Whigs of Logan eounty have again met the enemy, and defeated them. Their majority, it will be seen, is not materially changed from whal it was last year. Perhaps it may be useful to take a brief review ol onr past history for the pnrpose of ascertaining our present condition. The Assessor's returns in the spring of 1833, gave a little over 8000 voters in Logan county. In Ihe fall of 1835, 1123 votes only were polled, of which 746 were for the Whig ticket, snd 376 for the Jackson ticket, making a Whig majority of 370 votes. In the fall of 1839, 1CG3 votes were polled for the office of Governor, of which Joseph vance received iihu and r.ll Baldwin 4B1, making a Whig majority of 701. Thus it will be seen that when Ihe entire vote of the eounly was increased 541 voles, Ihe Whig vote was increased 436 and the Jackson vote only 105 votes. At Ihe Presidential election in November, 1836, Ihe whole number of votes given was about 8000, and ths Whig majority was 770. 1 his was the largest vote evor polled in the county, and of course is the best lest of the strength of par ties. In the tall ol 1837, 1706 votes were polled, or which Ihe two Whig candidates for Representative re ceived 1045 voles, and Ihe Van Buren candidate 661. At thai time there was at least 8500 voters in the county, which would leave nearly 800 votes not polled. At the annual elecuon In lrKftf, just l'JOO votes were polled. Of these, Gen. Vance reoeived 1150 and v ilson Shannon 750. r rom the returns of the As sessor, in Ihe spring of 1839, there must have been at least 8700 voles in the eounly at that time, which would sun leave about uo votes not at lha polls. At Ihe same election, Mr, Cassad'a majority over Dr. Crew wss 805 voles. By the returns of the Assessor of Logan county last spring, there was then 3784 voters in the eounly. Al lb is time ws may safely eall it 3800. At Ihis election we have polled 1780 votes, al least 1000 voles less than the entire strength of the county. Of the votes polled, the Whig ticket will average ibnnt 1050 votes, and the Van Buren ticket about 700, making a Whig msjorily of about 350 votes. How far the reaull would hava been changed hid a full vote been polled, we can only judge by comparing it wilh the result in former years when a full vole has been polled. Kelerence lo the vote In a lew ot Ihe townshipa this year and last, will shew that where Ihe Vans hsvs polled their entire strength, lha Whig vote has fallen short from 30 to 40 votes. Ws hava always been oonfident that there was no change in Logan county. They have) done all that was necessary tor them to do. Ihey hava elected lha whole Whig ticket by handsome majorities. This is all thsy wished or expected lo do. "Why should the ocean be into tempsst tossed, To waft a fesiher or to drown a Ay." Whenever a President is to be made, Logaa eounty may be relied on fur a majority of 800 votes, and more especially It Urn. Harrison should be the candidate. MIAMI COUNTY. From His Troy Times, Oct. 16. Thi Lati Ei.ictio.vs. As far aa our information extends, the result of ihe late eleetions are any thing uul lavorable tc Ihe Whig causa. In counties hither to acknowledged Whig, some have gone the entire van uuren ticket, and In others our majorities sre greatly decreased. In Miami eounly, although we carried all onr rouuly offioers, yet there has been a great falling off from Ihe vole of lasl year, whilst the Democratic vols has rather gained.

MORO AN COUNTY. From ths MrCennelkvllle Standard, Oct. 11 The Whigs of Morgan eounty, much lo our regret, oncluded lo lay on their oars this senson; not because hey esteemed the principles of iheir opponents any ugner man usual, nut oerause they deemed success n' 'ond Iheir reach, Ws do not, nor did ws agree wilh hem, but thai is neither here nor there.

From the Ohio RenuMkan, Orlobar It Our Elttlion. The Whigs of old Muskingum bare gain, after a severs contest, beaten their Tory enno-enls by majorities varying from 150 lo 600. I he ole it small, compared wilh thalol lust full, and the reatesl deficiency is on the side of lha Whig votes, s usual. Ths Locos, nearly lo a man, mustering and oting their ticket.

Ths ticket would have had a much larger majority if there had not been so many hands at work on tha Zanenille and Mavsville Turnpike in Newton, num bers on the Canal, in Salt Creek and Wayne, and some eighteen or twenty who were busilv emoloved on the National toad in Perry. The two first townships named, would have given the Whig ticket handsome majorities; the majority in the third, wonld have bees handsomely increased: and that of the last much redu ced. We bail Ihis as a most glorious triumrjh. and ws know not, when we observsd tka Locos with such f;rievous, melancholy, long looking races may they oog enjoy them. All parts of the State were looking forward to this comity. The Tories bad produced an impression that oh) Muakingam would be theirs, and the eandidates had so often repeated it, tbat they re ally began to think it was theirs; but their disappoint ment was sad, not a solitary candidate elected strong horse Cassidy and all defeated. May they alwaya meet wilh such a result until Ihey change their policy. PORTAGE COUNTY. From ths Ravanna Star, Oct 10. The election in this county has resulted in the tri umph of the whole Whig ticket, except our Representatives. Owing to the defection, or rather tha treachery of Western new County Wbigs, our whole ticket was endangered, and our Representatives de feated. I his trick of our western mends U) produces. as might have been expected, (he highest Indignation in those who, acting in good! faith themselves, have thus been deceived and betrayed. PREBLE COUNTY. From thi Eatea Register, October tot It is evident that the late election exhibited no test as to the strength of the two political parties in this county. A vast number of the Whigs did not vols at all; and many that did, voted for their political opponents some for one reason, and some for another. The Presidential election will elicit a different rote, and show an overwhelming majority in favor of tha Whig candidate that might be nominated by tha National Convention. There Is no mistake in this. RICHLAND COUNTY. From ths Manefleld JerTersonlan.Oct. 10. In this county but a very small number of votes wss polled. Only one ticket, Locofoco, was run, which of course was elected. ROSS COUNTY. From ths Scioto G little, Oct. IT. The apathy which was apparent hereabout, seems to have pervaded the whole State, in reference lo the result of Ihe late elections for members of the Legislature,The re-apportionment of the State into Legislative districts, is a measure which will be likely to require for its lust execution Ihe conservative influence of a justice-loving parly. Reserving this, it may seem appropriate that the Bank Reformers have a majority in the State councils. A crisis is fast coming, in which it will be necessary for our Legislature to do something towards nurturing the best interests of this enterprising and growing State, which tha party in power naa been so long striving to cripple and destroy. When the turning point shall be gained, it is proper that the party which has pulled down nntil there is but little lelt to erase, should ba made to shoulder Ihe responsibility and provide iheirsubsti-lutes. As to Bank Reform, they will have an unobstructed field before them they can " finish the work" in any , manner tuey please. Let the people hold them to Iheir pledges and if they do not dodge the question, nd adopt expedients which they eondemsd when in i minority, Ihey will earn a belter title to coniiittncu lhan Ihey now enjoy. In regard to Penitentiary La- or, too, let the mechanics watch the movements and onus of the.maiontv. Thev will han full nowsr to make any alterations in tha laws affecting that ob ject that may be demanded. Touching sundry other leading topics, which we may recur to al a fit season, Ihe conclusion may be safely arrived at, that tha dominant party in our next Legislature will occupy, for them, a most unenviable position. SCIOTO COUNTY. From ths Portsmouth Tribune, Oct 11. It will be seen that, by superior activity of tha Lo. cofocos, and tha usual apathy of the Whigs, ourma- oruy is again diminished anolher nundrad or two. By a singular, but not unexpected movement, a portion of the Whigs, governed by local and personal considerations, supported the Loco candidate for Senator. In addition to this, il is now apparent that our over proportion of the addition of voters by Immigra tion tor a year or two put, has swelled their minority. The embarrassment thrown around our movements by the ouirageoua tolly ol aoms of our friends in Brown oounly, would alone be sufficient to account for our de- leat. We hava now, however, no reproaches to make, nor homilies to read. Wa are again most decidedly routed, a condition which will not ba quits unsupported le, having heretofore had some experience) of Us effects. Locofoco domination and misrule has probably run its utmost length. Perhaps no other mora egregious blunders in policy and lugiilalion ean ba psrp. I rated lhan they hava already tried. When steeped in unmitigated deatrucliveness, bloated with spoils snd satiated with tha exercise of a relentless tyranny ano proscription, their work must eessa lor want or victims. There will lhan be at least lha sullen calm of triumphant despotism. STARK COUNTY. From ths Hsaallloa Oaseue, Oct- II. This eounty, of course, sleeted lha whole Loeofoaa ticket, there being no opposition. Mr. Bryea waa brought out by some of the disalfec(cd for Prosecuting Attorney, to oppose Samuel Lahm, and received four hundred votes. In this eounty only about one third of ths voles were given; in all about 1700. From ths Csnloa lepoeltorgi, Oct. 10. On Tuesday last the annual election for countv offi cers took place in tha several counties of this Sure. we have not yet even received the returns of this county. As the Whigs mads no opposition, of course Dr. James Welch and John Smith are elected Representatives Daniel Rafiemperger, re-elected Sheriff; William Dunbar, ra-eleoted Treasurer; Peter Slimmsll and John Breii, Commissioners; Michael Slump, Nurvnyori and Samuel Lahm, Prosecuting Attorney. Compared wilh last year, so far as beard from, tha vole was small : showing conclusively that the appeal of lha Democrat to rally ihe party, on the falsa pretence that tha W higs would hava a ticksl, had not tha desired effect. UNION COUNTY. From ths Msrynllle Star, October 10. "I Umion tiiibi is STarnoTR." vfnofin Croon there r's union. Wa Slid soma time since, when chsnging the title of our paper, and adopting our motto, "that in Union eounly there was soms strength;" and, fellow cititens, yon have borna as out in the assertion you have acquitted yon lika men, and Ilia poll books tell Ihe result and wa have but to aay, Union haa dona well, and for Ihis wa think you. Tha result of the election is with us, from ill but one township, and the Whigs have elected every county officer, and sent l.iwrenca and Qodmsn out of lha county wilh something rising of 300 roles msjorily over Strong and noun. nir. uoumsn, the wmg candidate lor Marlon county, will be but vary few votes behind Mr. Law rence in our own county; and Mr. Worth, tha Van Huron candidate In Crawford eonnly, will probably ha a Hula ahead of Mr. Strong: so that the parties in Union county hava a clear conscience, as to honest dealing towards the other counties. WASHINOTON COUNTY. From ths Mirletta lnUIIIeiKsr, Oct. 10. The result of the election might have been changed by ths vote of Marietta. There are in Ihis township shout 650 voters. On Ihe day of elecuon, shout 60 voles wars given by persons from lha country, who were detained hers at Court. Had all tha voters attended the polls, tha vols in this town would hava bean about 7U0, or 1000 mora lhan it was. In this 1000 votes, tha Whig msjorily would undoubtedly have been sulficisnl lo hava secured the election of our same ticket, with lha exception, psihips, of Auditor.
