the Whigs 30 much tha prophecy now list ua look at the fulfillment. In Indiana there an seven Congressional districts. In the first district, Ratliff Boone, (Dem-ocratj was elected in 1837, by a majority 57 tee. The whole district has not yet been beard from; but in all the counties from which wa have returns, Robert Dale Owen, the Democratic can. didate, has gained largely upon the vote of Boone in 1837, and his election is certain.

In the second district Ewing, (federal,) in 1837, beat John Law, (Democrat,) 641, Now Ewing is beaten by J. W. Davis, (Dent.) more than 500. Democratic gain, about 1200. In tbe third district, in 1837, Graham, the federal candidate, waa elected by a majority of 1327-Now Graham is beaten by Carr, the democratic candidate, at least 1900.

Democratic gain, at least 3200. i In the fourth district, in 1837, the federal candidate, Dunn, received a majority of 1034- Now hs is beaten by the Democratic candidate, Thomas Smith, 750 votes. Democratic gain, 1684. In the fifth district, James Rariden the federal candidate, waa elected by si majority of I960. Thia year he is supposed to1 be re-elected, by a very small majority though his election is yet by no means certain.

If be is, ha stand solitary and aloneY tbs sol a representative of Indiana wniggery Democratic gain, certainly over one thousand In tbe sixth district Herod, tbe federal candidate, in 1837, beat James Brown Ray, (democrat 3747. Here, tlie iederaliste felt, sure of victory and laughed at the idea of defeat et Herod is beaten by Wick, tho democratic candidate upward of 800. Democratic gain, 4500 But the seventh district! Surely if there be a spot on earth where whiggery is safe, it is this it is this. Ip 1837, the federalists had a majority in each of the 16 counties which compose the disfriet scarcely a grease spot left of the Democratic candidate Albert S. Waite, federal candidate waelected by a majority of 7368.

Well notwithstanding all thiB, the hoosier dem-ocrate had the impudence to take the field this year, and the glorious result has been the total overthrow of federalism in her strongest hold, and the election of Howard, the democratic candidate, by a majority of 1256.

ROBERT J. FISIIER, Chairman of the Democratic Standing Committee for York County. York, Aug. 20, 1839. Lancaster Examiner, after telling its readers the bed news, goes on to give up a good deal more than its parti has lost it says that the leeo focoe bare elected their Governor iu Indiana! The Editor probably thinka, that, having lost a leg and an arm, one might ae well threw away the head also; The truth is, that if thera had been a Governor! elegtion in Indiana at the late trial of strength, there is very little doubt that the Democrats would ha vs served their opponents aa they did in Ohio, or as they served the federal boo-siers In the Congressional elections.

The sober second thought of the people is never wrong, and always efficient BUCKSHOT BALL ILTWe have the gratification thin week of an- the bright record KENTUCKY. The last Congressional dele gation from Old Kalmuck waa composed of twelve federalists and one democrat. The returns so far of the late election show that we shall certainly have two, if not three Democratic members From the Baltimore Sun of yesterday. Great Excitement. Attempt of a Carmelite Nan to Escapf Yesterday morning about twelre o-clock.

Sister Isabella, one of the nuns in the Carmelite convent, in Aisqnith street, escaped from the convent and ran to several houses in the neighborhood, attempting to gain admission. She did not succeed in some and was repulsed from others, anti! finally she succeeded In gaining an entrance to tho house of Mr. Wilcox, (one of the deputy wardens of the jail) in Aisquith street, near the she begged protection, and it waa very properly granted. novel sight of a female dressed in monastic costume running through the streets soon attracted a great crowd, and I the excitement being fomented by the hints anti inuendoesof those who live by plunder and revel in a riot, soon became intense. His honor the mayor was sent for and promptly repaired to the spot, and lent a messenger for Mr.

Jeffers and the police, which summons was obeyed on the instant. The mayor appealed to the good sense of tbe crowd, and after urging upon them the duty they owed to society by a preservation of the peace, asked if she should be sent to the Hospital. No, cried a few icattering voices. Shall she be sent to the Alins House! No, no, no send her to the Washington College. The hint was acted on, and she was accordingly, after the excitement had become somewhat allayed, placed in a hack, and under the escort of the mayor carried to that institution, where she has been placed in comfortable quarters.

The only cause she would assign for her conduct was that she wanted to get out, though she acknowledged she was well treated in the institution. From what we can learn, Sister Isabella is a lady of from 23 to 25 years of age. Her family name is Sarah Neal, and she is from Georgetown, D. where her family, which ia 'of the highest respectability, resides. For many yeats she has exhibited symptoms of insanity, a malady that one of her brothers is now laboring under, and after the admission into the convent the evidence of an alienation of reason became stronger, until she became so eccentric that at the advice of the physician of the institution she was withdrawn from the school-room and allowed to indulge in the solitude she seemed desirous to court.

Her malady, we are informed, grew upon her until she conceived that it was her duty to abstain totally from all nourishment of the usual kind. When pressed by the mother to partake of some nourishment, she refused and beggad to be allowed to eat peach leaves, grass and other articles not edible for a human being. Yesterday morning she was persuaded by the attending physician to eat a hearty meal, and she revived considerably. The dinner hour is about half-past eleven, and sister Isabella, at the table, seemed more than usually rational. With the cunning of tbe insane, she requested to be allowed to go into the kitchen and attend to the culinary affaira, which request was granted by the Superior, and she descended to the lower atory.

There is a window in the kitchen about six feet from the ground, without blinds or bars, and out of thia window sbe leaped, a tew minutes after she had been in the apartment, and rushed into the street as before described. She has frequently before expressed a desire to leave tbe institution, and enter that of the sisters of charity; but it was incompatible with their vows and the regulations of the contract into which she had voluntary entered when she became a member of the order. Sueh are the facts as we ascertained them from an authentic source. During yesterday afternoon, up to tlie time of closing this article, crowds continued to collect in the neighborhood of the nunnery, but we believe principally through curiosity. The arrangements made by the mayor are such as we have every reason to believe will preserve the peace, should there be any ruffians found in this community dastards enough to imitate the Boston mob and attack a household of weak females.

In the morning there were some seen busy sowing tbe seeds of riot, but the blackguard and the villian were so indelibly stamped upon their countenances, that they were treated with the contempt they deserve. If there is any thing wrong in that convent, there is a tribunal to which the conductors of it are as amenable as is the humblest individual in the land, and a proper investigation will elicit the truth ofthe matter.

of Congress from thia state. This important gain in the state that is said to belong to Harry of the West," indicates that some of his subjects are becoming refractory. In the district opposite Cincinnati, represented by Southgate in the last Congress, Col. Butler, a Democrat, has been elected. It is now stated positively that a Democrat has succeeded in Menifee district.

This statement is, however, as positively contradicted by. the same mails. Amidst the conflicting accounts that reach us from various parte of the state, we think we can aee very clearly that the federalists havrf lost at least two members of Congress. Wa may be mistaken, however and will, look about when the smoke is blown away. NORTH CAROLINA.

In thia state the Democrats have elected eight and life federalists Jive member of Congress. In tbe laBt Congress the Democrats bad butter and the federalists eight! The results at the two elections are very much alike, particularly that of the late elections ALABAMA! -Democratic Governor elected without opposition Senate, Democratic House of Repreaentives, Democratic Congress, three Democrats, two federalists. TENNESSEE The result in this state is most extraordinary. Tho reaction in favor of Democratic principles has keen tremendous. At the last Congressional election, the federalists e-lected nine out of thirteen members of Congress with an aggregate majority of 29,449, and at the the same tune elected their Governor, Cannon, by a majority of 20,000.

At the election which has just closed, JAMES K. POLK, late Speaker of the U. S. House of Representatives, was taken up by tho Democrats of Tennessee. His chance appeared hopeless, as he had a majority of twenty thousand to overcome, and to contend with those who had the whole power of the slate in their hands.

He had to take the field Wittj nine Congressional district against him, in which were a hostile majority of nearly thirty thousand, and at a time when, from the heat of the contest it waa known that tho entire strength of the federal par. ty would be brought into action. Ho nevertheless stood the hazard of the die, and has gloriously triumphed! Tbe majority of 20,000 has been overcome, and JAMES POLK ascends the gubernatorial chair, by a majority of from 3 to 5000 votes! The Legislature is also thoroughly Democratic, and the federalists have lost two members of Congress So much for the influence of White and Bell! So much for the promises ol the latter to sweep every vestige of Democracy from the soil of Tennessee So much for the efforts of the immaculate White to hand over the Hermitage state bound hand and foot to the blue lights of Eastern Federalism! Tennessee has rebuked the traitor and shamed the apostate in the face of the whole country, and held them up as examples of the punishment that awaits thur kindred spirits in the Empire State and the Old? Dominion. Let Tallmadge and Rivet prepare for a similar fate! INDIANA. The most brilliant light of all bursts upon us from Indiana.

Here, where Democracy bad but one little spot of earth upon which to place her foot, she has achieved a victory almost unparallelled in the annals of political warfare. At the last Congressional election, the whig swept the state, electing six out of seven members of Congress by large majorities, leaving us but one member, tbe Hun- Ratliff Boone, who was elected by a meagre majority of 57. At tbe last presidential election, Harrison received a majority ol 9000. And to show what tbe federalists expected at the late election, we give below tho prediction of a feds rot prophet! From the Indianapolis Journal. Congressional Elections, We bare heretofore refrained from speaking of the probable result of the election in tbe different Congressional districts, except in ibis.

We bare been waiting for the de-relopement of public sentiment with much anxiety and -solicitude and it is with no small degree of joy that we are enabled to say with confidence to our friends, at home and abroad, that the prospect, is cheering that the political armament is bright and clbudless but alls, Indiana will be represented Baltimore Market.

Since Tuesday the supplies have been rather short, and within a day or two the demand has exceeded the supply, in coAsequence of orders to buy for eastern markets.

There has consequently been an improvement inprices, and sales of prime reds have been made yesterday and to-day at 0 1,15 cash. Sales of prime family flour white wheat were made early in the week at $1,15, cash, and to-day a cargo of the same description was sold at $1,20 cash.

JOHN THOMPSON," Secretary. August 20, 1839, Wa decline the publication of tbe communication relative io the next Sheriffs Election. We have been requested to announce BENJAMIN ZIEGLER ae a candidate lor Clerk ot the several couits of York Count, subject to a decision ot tbe count Convention.

We have been requeited to announce GEO. A. BARNITZ, ae a candidate for Clerk of the several courts of York Count, subject to a decision of lbs Count Convention. The Delegate Elections. We hope that the delegate elections on tbe last Saturday of this month will be fully attended, 1 and that the detegatee witl in reality represent the feelings and execute the wishes of a majority the DoMocmtio party.

Tbe delegate system i an excellent one lull and fairly carried at -by the party that i called upon to vote a leket, are enabled to frame it in accordance with their views of right. The system, however, tike many other of the moot excellent things, has its abuse si tad so bad a uso has sometimes been made of it, that we hire often heard the best, oldest and most consistent Democrats declare in an. ger their readiness to abandon it altogether. We never accorded with them, though perfectly a-wars of the abuses that had disgusted them in all the misuse that we perceived, we saw nothing radically wrong in the system, noaevil that could ettw corrected by the people. The-great evil is th paucity ol attendance at the delegate elec, kon frequently, districts polling several hundred votes at the general election, do not at their delegate elections poll more than a dozen or a cor.

Thia, of course, enablea a pitiful minority to send, aa delegatee to a County convention, men Who differ in acnliment tola eoelo from nine kntlis of the voters of the district they represent. This it it, that enables men without merit men of shorn the party would never have dfeamed in emnexiun with office, to foist themselves upon the ticket, to the deep mortification oi those who are Democrats in heart and in principle. Ilia tell known, that those having the least worth, are act unfrequently the meet clamorous for pubic honors; they are the very men who can and do take advantage of the evil we complain of end the aupfnencss of our friends throws the door ol office wide open to such men. Instead of guarding the entrance with untiring vigilance, they stand aloof with folded arms, sutler the igno-lant pretender, the unprincipled intriguer and mdtaerving demagogue to pass on unquestioned, and afterward wonder how As got in! An old gentleman, one of the moat worthy men in 1 ork county, came to ua few years ago, immediately after our county ticket woe formed, end complained moat bitterly of the nomination ef a certain individual irom bis district. How did your delegates vote?" we enquired.

1 He replied that they had voted for the obnoxious individual, and that they had been elected for that very purpose! Thee a majority of our friends in your district prefer thia man?" Oh no! The individual and five or aix ot his friends got together and selected two delegatee to auit themselves! Do you know that a great major it of jour neighbors ara opposed to this man?" Yes, Ido knew that he is less esteemed and has fewer (tends than probably any other man in tbe district; and ye he has been forced upon ua by this Vile delegate Hold! bold! my friend! li hare were your neighbor on tho day of tho delegate elections?
