 At the election in this town, oui Monday last, the highest number of votes boiled 1t any one ballot was for first assessor, when there were 287 for Tomnson Wells, 2S7fof Samuel Blel, 2 and 2scatternge z A to ; tal 5l6a less number by about 27O or more than one third, than town cast last spring for first Repre- sentative. The number of votes continued to lessen on almost every successive baot until the vote for Town Clerk. when both parties made another rallv and the vote stood thus-For S F. Boles 234, for I. Lawrence 2l0 It should however be stated taaf the first attempt to rally the voters against MT Boes fRho had been previously nominated by both partes} uro ceeded from few of the runners of the Jackson par fy, and that MT.

 COnsoliag. Though the whg partyon Monday last failed of carrying in single candidate nominated ex- clusively by them, yet many seem to find consolation in this fact. They have found out that they can be beaten and not be cast down-and they think that as they are now in the minority, they can hereafter rally their forces with confident hope of snceess! We have little doubt that if to-day every whg and every tory vote in the town conld be can vassed, there would be a clear majority of whes- We now say to our friends, never despair! stick to the ship as long there is n plank left. Our whig forefathers met with many and severe reverses but victory finally crowded their efforts with liberty and independence "NI despenandam!'f ; u-'

 Our town election yesterday resulted in the entire prostration of the loco ocos by maores varying from l5, to 50. The ticket which was carried So trium- phantly was not composed of Wings, exclusively, but Of men of all parties who opposed the degrading principles which mark the character and conduct of certain wouldbe great who affect to direct the meetings of the democracy among us. To keep up their falling fortunes they have Of late been making an effort to introduce among us and to make inhab- tans oQur town, between twenty and thirty transient persons inhabitants of other States who happen now to sojourn among It was first attempted to bring ths about though the instrumentay of the Civil Au- thority and Select-Me majority of which board it was supposed was in favor of the measure. Two at- sempts were made to warn meeting of the board for the purpose aforesaid both of which failed through the papable ignorance of those members of the board who undertook to give the call. Being baf1ed thus far, they next appealed to the town where they have fort number of years past carried every measure by deci- ded majorites and nominated their twenty foreign CTS for tytl6ng-men This daring outrage upon the rghts or citizens called up the feelings of the can did men & all parties, and the result has been an en. tire change of the board of Town Officers! sLet po ieal desperadoes learn from ts that honesty is the best policy, and that sooner laer their hypocr.ical petensioas will be detected and punshed' It ought to have been stated that the meeting yesterday was the lasySt town meeting that was ever convened in this town there being more than 20 votes given for first selcct-naan %
