After the most exciting and turbulent election ever
held in this town, the Wings on Monday last came
elOriousy out Of the contest The most foul and base
means were resorted to BY the loco iOcOs-eUen brute
JOrce-to intmidate and hrowbeat some Of the cleo

sound judgment, yet have the wings carried hand
some majority on every branch OF their ticket. At
the close of such an exciting contest in which we ac-
knowledge that personally are almost much used
Up as our adversares are politically we do not feel

place, but may take another opportunity tomake
observations respecting the manner in which our OPP

What does this Mean 1.-The Madisonan Of Tues
day, while discussing some Of the parliamentary prac
tces of the Senate, INDUCES in the following extraor
binary paragraph:
lille on the subject, we should feel that we had
not quite discharged our duty, were not to notice
another circumstance which we regard as more dis
gushing than the Others. We have an undyng hor-
ror Of drunkenness 1t is vulgar beastiness, in VIC.
ation Of the laws Of nature, and the ordinances of
Heaven; We regard il SIN against oneself against
society and against decency. 1t is disgusting and af
hcting enough in the utmost retirement Of private life
but when it invades the national Legislature, and
reels, and fumes, and slobbers, in that high place.
before the gaze Of the world, we regard it really and
sincerely, in moral point Of view, as public crime
and one which derives additional turpitde from the
fact ofs imposing its responsibility in some sortupon
the public, of its endangerne the public trusts and OF
s setting an eminent example of debanchery 10 the
millions Of people who look to the Legislature for the
deni'ies, The prophecies in word for the depor'ment
Of citizenship. We forbear to develope farther the
scene vet vivid in our mind"
We should rather take this article to be an insinua-
tion, as the man said when he was called living
sconndrel; or hint, another remarked when kick
ed down stairs.-Ne,C- York Com, Ado.
