took pace on Tuesday of the present week.
The Jackson party has been making loud boast
inys of the glorious prospects opening upon them
among the green Mountains. It affords US mex
pressibe regret, therefore, loving them as we do,

arrived in town this morning, informs that the
CLAY boys have utterly overthrown the Jackson
forces there. Judge Follett is elected to the Le'
gislature, in the room Of the Jackson representa-
tive, by sweeping majority.-N. Z. CON- 'a@0'
