THE RESULT OF OUR ELECTION.
SPLENDID TRIUMPH

We are able to present to-day returns of the vote
for Governor ia all The towns Of the Common ealth
but about twenty EDWARD EVERETT has been re-
elected by more than TEN THOUSAND majority.
Considering the division in our ranks produced by
the license law, this result may be considered a
splendid triumph. So deep and so strong was The
excitement in every part of the state respecting this
law, that large number of Wings went against he
Governor because he signed the bill, not rejecting
that he could not have done otherwise, carried
through both houses of the Legislature rs il was
by overw Inning majorities-each political party
striving TO Guido the other in tho popular branch in
Jealous efforts 10 accomplish lis passage.
Tha great trial of strength between the Wings
and the Loco Focos in the state has been in the
contest for members of Congress. Two years ago
the Wings elected ten and the Loco Focos two
members. Mr. Borden was chosen in the Bristol
district and Mr. Parmenter in the Middesex district
10y The Loco Foco party AT the recent election
the Wings have carried ten and the Loco Focos but
one. In the Middlesex district there is no choice
and not doubt is entertained Of the success Of
the Wing candidate on the next trial
The majorities on the Congress ticket through
out the state shows fully that there has been
diminution of The Wing strength since last year
When the votes officially promulgated, il will
appear that tho true Wing majority is no, less than
SIXTEEN THOUSAND. In he First district Honorable
RICHARD FLEroHER Isle elected by 2l93 majority
In The Second district, Hon LEvERETT SALToN-
STALL is chosen by l2 majority. In the Third
district Hon CALEB CUSHING has about 1900
minority. In the Fourth district there is no choice,
and we arrange the scattering votes about equally
between the two parties. In the Worcester district
there were two Wing candidates, and the aggre-
gate Wing majority is $500. In The franklin dis
trct the aggregate Wing majority is about 5000.
In the Seventh district, Hon GEORGE N. BRIaos
is elected by about 700 majority. In the Eighth
district, the Hon. WILLIAM b. CALHoUNs majority
is not far from 1900. In the Ninth district, Hon.
WILLIAM S. HASTINGS is returned by one thousand
majority. The Tenth district was carried by
thei Loco Focos as usual by about $50 votes
The Barnsable district has e.elected JoHN REED
by eight hundred majority. The majority for JOINS
@. ADAMS in the Plymouth district is a little owe,
one thousand
However correct the Loco Foco prints nj y have
been in their prophecies of election results in Tory
states, they have proved themselves miserable
managers and calculaors in Massachusetts. The
truth is--as appears most conclusively--the Wing
party never stood more firmly in Massachusett Than
it does at present We may be SAID to have swept
the state pretty clean. There cannot be more
than three Loco Focos in the Senate, aud itIs very
doubtful whether they have elected solitary one
The House of Representatives will have ms large a
Wbig majority as it had last year. so large thai we
predict the Loco Focos viii care to expose
their miserable numbers on the vote for Speaker
The victory is, therefore, splendid, complete and
overwh lining. Our friends in other states may vet
say that "THEY LOVE AND HONOR MAssAcHUsETTs |
BECAUSE SHE HAS NEVER BEEN CONQUERED" Bos. |
