Peace Party every zohcre Iriumfhaat.
In Massachusetts Trey have elected
their Governar by majority offonrteen
thousand, gaining, since the last election
for, chief magistrate, upwards OF 900
votes. They ,i,aye also elected their Sc.
nate by a great majority, in spite OF tho
mean and infamous article, employed by
Governor Gefry when in power, which,
by running the district line in every T-
regular direction, obtained last year a
majority OF he war party, against the
voice of more than Ave thousand free>
holders ;. as shewn by the votes given
IN. They do not choose their lower
branch OF the legislature till some time
in May, but already The war newspapers
confess they are ready to abandon the
contest
In Wez. Hamhsiire they have succeed
ed in turning opt Govef nos Piumer, al
apostate fedeFalist ard once even iede-
raj U. S. Senator; in turning out war
Senate, in turning out war council and
in turning cat war assembly.
Ii Connecticut they have elected IN
their assembly 1853 peace candidates and
81 war n4en !; they never had a War 60
vernon ror a Madison governor nor
democratic governor and SO they could
Turn more out, but they htve elected tor
governor man who united with the de-
ceased patriot and statesman governor
Gfiswoid, and even fovk part III the
correspondence in tie governors ab-
scnce on the great and interesting
question which last summer aglisted
New England: viz. Whether the mi
litia Of state must be surrendered up
at the command Of the President, when
ever he chuses to call for them, put un-
der officers Of his own appointment, apd
narehed out of the State to any place lac
may designate; o. whether the constl.
tuition of The United States had not pIac-
ed them under TIC protecting arm of
the Cnief ma gistrate of their ewn State /?
This great onestion he correctly, nobly.
boldly decided in favor Of the liberty Of
The Citizens of Connecticut, (blessed be

IN Rhode Llana, as we arc Informed,
in the last Rhode lsiand American, the
state election has just taken place for
that state ; and the Peace Ticket has
prevailed hy an unaxamp}ed majority.
/" In fact, (says that papcr) so completely
have the honest and independent yeo-
n,anry OF this state become convinced
of the ruiDous consequences OF this IN
necessary war, and OF the pertdy and
corruption of the rulers Of the nation,
that the leaders Of democracy dared net
venture an opposition, but III isniien
pride left the field uRcontested, and we
hope will abandon their fallen CAUSE
In many towns net vote was given IN
AGAINST the Peace Ticket, which must
convince the friends OF peace through
out the Union, as well as the adninIs-
tration, that the voice of Rhode Island
is not for var.
Lastly. and with rather llnping pace
comes Vermont. An election Tor CEN
sors has been held, which it seems in
the opinion of ell, tried pretty etfcctual-
ly the strength of party. Returns have
been received from cniy about halt the
towns. but thus fer the peace gain stands
upwards OF $3.50. So that unless some
plaguy county Of Chttenden should un-
expectedly sleep ON its post at this crl-
teal moment and fell altogether ei It's
duty, the war or Madison party, must
even there " bite the dust"
We trust New York will now shew
that in Interests, feelings and action she
is fifth New England, commercial
state.
