ED UPON OUR BANNER!! The
great, the eventful contest which took
place yesterday between the Wings
ard the Administration, in the Third
Congressional District. has resulted
in Ire success Of Mr.. NAAiILOR, whose
majority over Mr.. Ingersoll will not
vary far from FOUR HUNDRED
VOTES. We cannot but exult, and
call upon the WINGS throughout the
United States to rejoice with US in this
defeat Of the tory candidate, aided, as
he was, by the money, the eloquence,
and the labors of the government Office
holders.
Every exertion was made, every
nerve strained, and every means resor-
ted to, to secure the election Of Mr.. In
gersoll but all would not do; the peo-
Die were too honest to be bought too
sagacious to be deceived, too patriotic
to support a party. which fattens upon
the spoils of office, and too staunch in
their devotion to the wing principles of
'76, to vote for one who had avowed
that had he lived in those days of dark
ness and trial, he would have been
