GREAT AND GLORIOUS VICTORY!

and threaten the subversion of our free

enemy at the Polls; and the three days in
Paris in 1880, were not more signally
destructive to the aohiie flag of the Bour-

BRING OUT THEE BIG GUN.
Never within the last thirty years has
mere ever been so warm contest as that
which has just glorlously closed. The
vote polled has excee ded that of any OF her
ever gwen IN this city. Over FORTY
THOUSAND votes have been taken, which is
more than is given in several other States
Of the Union.
The Wings have had every thing to
contend against, viz: Patronage of the
General Government shameessly brought
into conflict with the freedom of Elections; :
powerful State Government also, and
hundreds and hundreds of illegal voters,
which have been thrown IN here from all
The adjoining States. Thanks, however,
TO the body of firm and vigllant Inspectors
the locomotive Loco Focos of the enemy
have been defeated, most signaIly defeated,
too. Money has been poured out like
water, but with no avail A hand of office.
