A CHALLENGE.--The Bellows Falls Gazette

A safe challenge friend Moore. Though our wing
farmers have had to suffer with others by the exper-
imens' of the national administration upon the cur
rency we doubt whether any other state has suffer
ell less. True, wool growers have suffered much.
But since the defeat of that notorious scheme-the
Sub Ireasury-in the last Congress, by the Wings
and conservatives confidence is Observation-Disclosures
has revived, the Agricultural, Manufacturing and
Commercial interests are going on prosperously

TRUTH AND FALSEHOOD.
There's a tuneful river
In Erins Isle,
Where the sunbeams quiyer
In silvery smile,
Where the leaves that fall
Grow sunlike all,
And never die.
And such is the stream 10y truth enlightened,
That leaves tho breast 10y wisdom frightened;
Where even the Joys that the storms discover,
Are tuned to gems that flow forever.
There's gushing tide
In the Indian cline,
BY whose herbless side
There S a sulphury slime
To the flower that touches,
A scorching wave
To the bird that approaches,
A wclterng grave.
And such are the waters of bitterness rising
In the desart bosom of dark Disgusting;
And the birds of Joy and the flowers of feeling
Must perish wherever that wave is dealing.

STATE ELECTIONS.

Two years ago the elections in the States oiks

five Van Buren, members elected 10 the 25th ID

cause other, the two latter States have performs
a wonderful somerset.
Tennessee, has probably elected her Adminiss

New York Elections.

Every account we have seen from this State
concur in according success to the wings Re-
turns are not complete, but the general result is
sufficiently known. The wings willhave small
naiorities in both branches of the Legislature
the ascendancy in the Senate for the first time
The city of New York went in favor of the ad-
miuistration with an increased majority, while
Albany went in favor of the wings with an in
creased majority, and the interior remains but
very little changed. We find the following in
the National Gazette:
tits now apparent from the returns of the
New York election, that the Wings have COM
plelely iriumphed When it is remembered
that while the destructive measures pursued by
the federal government were concealed by the
veil of promised reform its majority in New
York was Sky thousand, it may well be con-
ceiyed how odious the rule has become which
has absolutely lost popular confldence-and is
defeated in spite ofall its influence and exer-
tions. The Albany Argus, which -gives the
latest news from the interior, state that in the
Assembly iflv-nine Van Buren members and
sixlv-one Wings have been elected.
The Journal of Commerce says that no rea-
sonable doubt can be entertained that the wings
have majority 1t is presumed it will be al
least twelve on joint ballot.
