REpablicar

A republican increase of six and a
federal decrease of the same number
ct votes has taken place, leaving a
nett republican gain of twelve votes.
And this is the subjec. of loud exulsa-
ton to the opposition party Really
that cause must have 8. a kind of alac-
rity at sinking" the depreciation Of
which, at the rate of only one third of
its whole weight, becomes a subject of
|rejoieing.
Bat It may be said that the result.
whichis considered so very fiasteriur
to federalism, is confined TO New
Hampshire and Rhod Island. The
same observation would still apply
with equal force; for although no
change has takea place in the repre-.
sentation to Congress, because the
election in both sfates is by general
ticket, and majority of Que or few
votes determines the election of the
whole delegation yer has material
favorable change taken place in the
public sentiment, as evinced by the
votes at The late election and at thae
which placed the members of the pre-
sent Congress i, the seats they hold.
At the Congressional election In the
Autumn CT 1908, the federal majority
IN New Hamps aire was upwards OF
three thousand it is now almost four
hundredapd fifty. AT the aame peri.
cd the majority in Rhode Island va
four hundred and fifty il is now two
hundred and forty. iffederalism ex-
ults at such increase: of strength, the
approaching annihiIatiou Of rs force
IN those states will but afryrd cause for
fresh congratulations.
Inc truth Is, that the VOICE OF
THE PEOPLE, as far as expressed, is
unequivocally with the administration.
fhe opposition Of determined enc
mics AMI the detection OF luke.warm
friends have proved equally futile as
means OF battering down or undermin-
ing the fortress of Repubiicansm.
inPregnabIe to open assault, division
alone, by weakening its forces, can exc
pose It to defeat. If uNfos be the
wasehword, it will forever bid defiance
20 its foes.

MERINO SHEEP.

The following facts relative to the
recent importation of Merino Sheer
at this place and New York, have
been communicated to US by gentle
man, whose sources of information are
entitled to perfect confidence.
The number of Merino Sheep i'm.
ported from Lisbon within the las,
month, may be justly considered as
matter of astonishmcnt, by those who
recollect the difficulties which were
stated to exist in procuring those ami
mails; it will therefore be gratifying
to be informed Of the fortunate event
which has been the cause of much
larger supply than the United States
could have expected, and than could
ever have been procured by the great
est exertions, il that event had not oc.
Cured. 1t will also be beneficial to
know what number may be relied on,
TO prevent erroneous calculations, by
those who are interested in the breed
ing of that most valuable animal.
