We all know the of an election in the city but
we are all acquainted with the nature OF an election
in the country. Herethe excitement is partial There

lation care not two saws who is elected; there the
interest Of decided nature and the opposing parties
divide upon the combat with all the ervor Recommending
enemies--and war to the knife, is the motto.
In no part OF the state has greater enthusiasm been
occasioned than in Little York, Frogs county There
we're bat parties here, and they designated,

elaborate researches, account for these desgna

as it might be- but they could in wise answer where
fore they were called. Beginning at the beginning,
referred ihe creation OF the worldso on to Moses
down TO the Jews in William and Wall streets, and
we have come the conclusion that Measures can
be applied to those who have a full measure Of the
good things Of this world their adhcrens and followers;
and who feel all the inherent dignity which initiate

Previous the election in Little York, meetings were
called by the Measures and the Men. The Men
held their meetings at Gammony and the Measures at
Hoaxie Hall They both well attended The
meeting at Hoaxie Hall addressed by Mr.. Hogbone

Mr. BOBBY Streamet then and proposed the
following preamble and resolution -
That it universally adned that China

Woolsey, it the opinion Of this meeting that
Measures were infinitely better than Men.
Resolved, therefore that this meeting use every en-
deavor to elect the superfne China Saxony measures
and let the DELPHI Linsey Woolsey men 60 TO the

The meeting then broke up.
