Have you listened to the thunder of the
town elections! / know you are not accus-
toned to give much weight to those local
contests; but you are wrong. In this IN
stance, however, there can be no mistake
The route is unparalleled. To say nothing
of Wing counties, where all is right as mat

which, you know, gave Van Buren, his strong

by the head in Herkimer, which has been in
the deepest darkness hitherto, and never

We have just received accounts of the sue
cess of our friends in Lewis county, electing
five of the eight supervisors, where our vote
has rarely been one third of the whole four
years, and our folks have rarely taken the
trouble to run a ticket. There is scarcely
an exception to the general demonstration of
hatred to loco focoism. In all the large
towns our success is signal. Norwich, in
Cher ango county, gives US supervisor by
| 8 votes, where the Regency have had an av-
erage of 200 for fifteen years. Otsego,
(Cooperstown,) which you know to have
been strongly against us, gives us part of the
ticket, losing the rest by dozen votes; and
