R "TEE CAUTION.
 The New Haven Mass Convention as we gather from the papers, was all such gatherings of late have been, exceedingly well attended The hardy yeomanry from all the neiehboring towns focked into the city, accompanied with banners and mottos appropriate to the occasion. The manufacturers and mechanics there in large masses--and as the whole procession, some to aO0 strong, passed thro the streets, they were warmly applaudeG by the as- semlled citizens and ladies who did not join in the procession. The procession was formed on the Green fronting the Tontine, and proceeded through the principal streets of the city, thence to the platform near the State House, where the exercises were held H'r. SAMUEL A. Foor presided assisted by six Vice Presidents. The meeting then addressed by Hon. Philip Hone, Aaron Clark, and Ogden Hoffman, A New York.

 loco loco pap"r published in Fairfield cotlhtt. last week. the 7,h instant contained the following paragraph. It is positively the wholesale lying we have ever seen. There he no doubt, # he receives single paper in exchange. that he must have had returns of the election. There is moi man among all his readers. the most ignorant. but knew something of the election.

 GEORGlA-The election for Members of Con- gress and the Legislature took place in this state Monday the 5lh. We have always looked upon this state g very doubtful one; knew the locos were as confident of obtainna il almost any state in the IInion-the party pi'hin he equally confident; and thoneh the whqs there were appa- renily sangnne, they were not so saneuine as their opponents-:hcy did not boast much, {" cro,p" handIy. A portion of the elected whg members of Congress had gone to the enemy. and thus it supposed had strengthened the party considerahly.- ln addition to all these things the ocos had the past year chosen their Governor by 1927 majority. Well, under such circumstances the campaign opened, and has been prosecuted with unexampled pcrtinacity- the whigs insisting that lhey could only neutralize the vote ofiast year. they could carry the for Harrison in November by handsome majority.
 Monday night we began to receive returns-and though they yet hu' few and very imperfect. they show that the wings are gaining. The returns now received are from the most favorable parts of the state, and from the 2i counties. imperfect, show whig majority of about 400O-and whig gain of about 75O This proportionate gain throughout the state would carry in the whig candidates by 4 ol 800 majority. But may turn ont that in the strong loco counties there may be loco eain proportiOnats to lhe whg gain in the whig counties. So, until get further returns, shall venture crow" very loudly If we get any thing more decisive before go ing to press, we will add Postscript.
