ment in relation to that election In thi.
town, We can speak with certainty of the
movements Of the opposition, for we attend
ed the polls during the day. We assert the
fact without the least fear Of contradict ion
that not one Of the gentlemen who made il
their business to spread proxies, was 50 unskii.
.fui in his occupation, or had even the boldness
(and they were as bold as lions) 10 say to any
freeman to whom they offered proxies, "thio
is q Jackson Ticket" No--but on the con-
trary, they invariably said "this is the real
administration Ticket" Yes, they unhesi-
tatingiy said the same Of all three Of their
prexes.
There was another thing that operated in
| some parts of the state very iniuriously a.
gainst the election of Gen. W-we mean
pamphlet written by pretended "Farmor." ,"
The sole object of that pamphlet was to Gre
ate and excite the feelings Of the farmers a
gainst the other great interests Of the com.
munity II had much effect. If we were
called upon to sentence the WRITER'S to
their merited punishment for their wicked at.

sentiments among the different classes of So

"Let the fellows be cropped-lct mark with
a hot iron be put upon each of their foreheads
let tread mill be built large enough to con-
tain all four Of them, and let them trot there.
in chained together, and bear headed, the res
idue Of their lives"
We will not say as the Hon. Mr.. Durfee
did in the Convention in January last, that
there are not ten Jackson men in this state
But this much we will and do say, that when
ever the question shall be directly and tairty
put to the people wh.ther they prefer Mr.
Adams to Gen. Jackson, We will beat them
not only ten but fifty 10 one. We will not
fret ourselves about the result of the recent.
election, for We have done our duty, and all
the senate are with US, save ono Brown. We
had rather it should have been George Fi5It,
instead Of Brown, because he is an open, a.
vowed and an honest Jackson man--but the
writer's OF tho pamphlet dared not 10 offer Mr..
Field to the froemen.

PPerhaps many of our readers will ex.
pect to find in this paper, an account Of the
number of votes polled in the several towns
at the late election. We would willingly rive
them that information if it were possible 20

are SO dssimilar, that we think proper to de

more officially authenticated As il stands
