Local politics and election echoes amid turmoil
Taylor's administration faces a backlash from four expelled Locofoco members amid ongoing probes. The Northwest district race between Dr. Fitch and W. Wright remains tight, with Wright holding a slight edge and a potential Whig gain if he wins. Kentucky and Louisville results show Whig majorities in city and congressional contests, while Jefferson County reports mixed party gains including Democrats and an Emancipation Whig.
