HEAR YE!
Those of our patrons who do not doubt that
the Laborer is acortiy of his hire" are remind
ed that we have labored for them near a year
and half, without any substantial token that
they sincerely believe the above truth. 1t is
the corner stone Of our hopes, and should be
that Of their practice. If this is their view OF
the matter, will they make it manifest
The ELECTION. We have not yet obtained
returns from all the towns The vote for Gov
error will probably exhibit majority for Jenison
somewhat larger than last wear. There has heen
very general increase in his majority, except in
the " infected district -.tere there will proba-
bly, be found some little diminution. The result
in the 4th district provesrery much as we stated
last week. The St. Adams Messenger states
thai Mr. Smith, the vsaaturen candidate wants
some Is votes of majority, as the returns have
been stated. Probably a full return of the scat
terng votes will increase the number to near 100.
The Wigs hove gained from 80 to 40 in the
House. The Senate remains 20 to 1O-the same
as last year. Mr.. Hall is excited to Congress
from the first dsrrict.b by about 1000 majority MIR.
Slade, from the second, by about 2OOO and Mr..
Everett, from the third, by $500 majority In
the fifth district, the majority of MIR. Fletcher is
about 300.
On the whole, the result has met the most
sanguine expectations of the advocates Of true
republican principles. Two TO one ia the House,
two to one in the Senate, and FIVE to one in our
Congressional delegation, is enough in all con-
science. More than this would be " monopoly"
II the Wings in other states do not give a full
" three times three" for the Green Mountain
State, we hope it will be because they are deter
mined to do better themselves
MAINE. The election in Maine took place on
Monday Of last week. Full returns have not
been received but the Locofocos claim ma ;ori-
ty, and we see no ground for doubling that they
haYe it. We give it up for the present, at least.
We can almost rejoice to see them have one more
opportunity to shout a glorious rictory And if
they can find any satisfaction in comparing their
present majority ofsome three thousand with the
ten or twelve thouFaEa+hey had in Maine year
or two ago, we hope they Ii be permitted 10
enjoy it undisturbed. We shall say nothing to
blunt their relish for this last meagre morsel of
glory as it is more than questionable whether
they ever roll another upon their tongues. Go
it, gentlemen, and we will help you. Hurrah for
Maine and irocs1os.sstjss u41urta.-sOr tine ten
thousand majority of ls36t-and double hurrah
for the three thousand yet left
THREE CHEERSi-We acknowledge with
much pleasure, the reception of the Buffalo Daily
Journal, containing intelligence that our friend
JEwgTr late editor ofshe Free Press has become
jcint proprietor and editor of that very valuable
and popular WING paper. May he prosper as
he deserves, and prove as effeclual laborer in
The Wing cause in New-York as be was in that
of anti-masonry in Vermont.
THE B asToN TMEs.-We very much want to
ask the editor of this excellent and spirited little
Daily-advertised in another column whether
his name is Edward c. Purdy, once a Prentice
in the editorial corps of Vermont? If he answer
in the affirmative he may be assured we shall
like him enough better to pay him for his trouble
We remember him with peculiar regard for the
good blasts he used to give US through his far
famed ''Horn Of the Green Mountains
BARBER-us-The last Argus thinks the cleo
ton Of Representative in this town might be con.
tested We beg him 10 forbear
