CHITTENDEN COUNTY Erect. 1t gives
us pleasure to announce to our readers that
Chittenden County is politically regenera-
ted, and that i'll this town, we have given
our State, Congressional, and Senate tickets,
handsome majoritcs. This is the first in
stance, we believe, that our State ticket
has received u majority in this town. Last
year Bradey's majority was mr. Now
Jenison has majority for Governor, Al
len SO majority for Congress, and Van
Sicken majority of So for the Senate.
Last year Mr. llaswell was elected by Il
majority of SO votes. He is this year re-
elected by nominal mujortyIof tico votes.
His seat will, however, be contested. 1t
will thus be seen that although we have
been defrauded out of our representative,
we have achieved glorious triumph, and
have abundant cause for congratuIaiion.
In the county, there was last year IL ma
jority Of four against us. This year quitting
Mansfield to the new county,) there will be
majority of ttOo in our favor thus return
ing the political power where the nulneri-
cal strength of the county has attcays been.
