We have not been able to complete the list of members of the two houses of the next legislature, from the returns before us; but the following estimate of the state of parties in the lower house will prove to be tolerably correct:

Administration, 51. Jackson, 34.

19th congress.
Lemuel Sawyer,
Willis Alton,
Richard Hines,
John H. Bryan,

20th congress.
Lemuel Sawyer.
Willis Alston.
Thomas Hall.

John Culpeper.
Daniel Turner.
Daniel L. Barringer.

Many letters and papers tion, 6. have lately passed through the press, and are still The result of the congressional elections in North Ca sing, whose peculiar character has made it difficult to de-rolina is given as follows: termine how to dispose of them. Some relate chiefly to things not previously noticed in the REGISTER,-and others, or parts of others, are calculated to induce ardent and long counter-statements. Our desire is, that this work should contain every thing of the kind which either interest the public feeling or guide the public judg-Gabriel Holmes, Arch'd McNeill, inent, and to record them, on both sides, without comments of our own, or of any other person, except those Weldon N. Edwards rendered parties to them; yet in certain cases to adopt Daniel L. Barringer, these without remarks, does not seem proper, and, in Romulus M. Saunders, others they may open the door to discussions neither the John Long temper or length of which shall be agreeable to us for H. W. Conner, S. P. Carson, the rule of this publication is, never to give a statement on Lewis Williams, one side without fairly presenting also an opposing one, if rightfully made out and properly tendered. In ordinary times our duty, as to selections, is an easy one-but in the now heated state of the public mind, there is much delicacy and difficulty in performing it, and an assurance of offending some though information, only, is designed to be given and equally to all. This, however, is the primary object of the REGISTER-to preserve articles that may be desired for reference, and we shall endeavor to accomplish it with impartiality. And, as this work has never yet passed into personal electioneering-though we have no hope of pleasing all parties to the present contest for president, we expect to preserve our character for consistency, and make out a claim on the people for fidelity in our proceedings. And ardent individuals should recollect, that though they themselves may be worked into a passion, the public remains cool and discriminating.

With these brief remarks we shall speedily insert several articles of the description referred to-to shew the spirit and the body of the times."

Chittenden Lyon,

The "National Intelligencer" says that Mr. Williams' majority was 1,500. Great exertions were made in his district. And adds-It will be seen that there have been but four changes in the representation of this state. We can speak of the political effect of but one of them. Mr. Culpeper, one of the new members, is a friend of the administration, and was the only member from the state who voted for Mr. Adams. The sentiments of the other three gentlemen, we do not know with certainty.

We are not imformed who has been chosen govenor of Tennessee. The contest between Messrs. Houston and Cannon appears to have been a warm one. The former, however appears to have been elected. We believe that no changes have been made in congress except in the places of Messrs. Cocke and Allen, who declined a poll. We shall give the particulars when they reach us."

A HARD FATE. Died at Bolton, Eng. June 26th, in the 74th year of his age, Mr. S. Crompton, who invented in 1780, the spinning machine called the mule, now so universally used by the cotton manufacturers. The inventor neglected to take out a patent; but he received re-two presents from the manufacturers, one of £100 and the other, (in 1800), of £400. In 1812 parliament granted him £5,000 upon a petition, which sum he unluckily lost in business. A second application to parliament failed. Mr. Crompton died in obscurity.

It is a matter of doubt whether the progress of scientific power may not be as productive of evil as of good, in lessening the value of manual labor; but whatever weight may be attached to the abstract proposition, it is entirely certain that the British nation acquired the immense power which it has exerted for many years past, chiefly through the application of machinery to the manufacture of goods-and those of cotton, in supplying the means, have accomplished more in battle, than all the Wellingtons who commanded; as without the profits o manufactures, the armies which they led could not have been raised and subsisted, or subsidized by Great Bri

Of the above list, says the Kentucky Gazette, seven are for Jackson, and five for Adams. The seven are Messrs. Daniel, Meflatton, Lecompte, Moore, Wick-tain: hence there was a debt owing to Mr. Crompton Tiffe, Yancey, and Lyon.

When the returns of the votes are all in, we shall present a detailed account of them, for present instruction and future use.
