VERMONT ELECTION.

The papers from Vermont, give us the
Official proceedings of the legislature of that
state, with respect to its organization. BY
these it appears, that the hon. ISAAC
TICHENOR, federal candidate, has been
elected governor PAUL BRIGHAM,
esq, democratic candidate lieutenant go
vernon BENJAMIN SWAN, esq. treasurer ];
I, DUDLEY CHASE, esq. democratic candidate,
speaker; TEoAAs LEvERETr, esq. secre-
tavy Of state; and MARTIN PORT, esq. de-
rnecratic candidate, clerk Of the house.
The federal ticket for. connseilors prevailed
BY a majority Of 500 votes. In the house
there IS d small democratic majority. The
Hanover Gazette In rea1arking on the cleo
t On, h,s The following statement:
6 NJ. Eiehenor's majority over Mr..
Smith, was =357 voice. VIM. PAGE, esq. is
appointed by MS excsllency, secretaryto the
governor and council. IN our next we shall
be abieso give q statenlentofyotes tor mem
bes-s OF congress, in that state. It has been
mater of acep regret, that general Nor
RS. aatt some ether federal members were
absent, az this important crisis. Had they
been present, we have little doubt but there
woui1, nave been a federal majority ii the
house. It's also unfortunate that FOUR OF
the most powerful members Of the house on
the federal side were elected into the coun-
elk Otherwise, it is presumed the joint
ballot would have still stood IN our favor.
NAY, we hope it will yet. Contrast this e.
lection with that Of last year, and We shall
see a astonishing change of public senti-
nentiments in favor Of Washington and re-
pub.icanisIn."
