of the 9th instant
Tnr EirerloNs The polls closed yesterday, after
the most animated contest we have ever witnessed ~
Both parties cxertcd themselves 10 the utmost. The
loco focos fought like dying tigers Aftcr preaching
the heinous immortality and cgality Of voting on
public land certificates they went to work and manu-
featured no less than 80 voters entries of United
States lands The loco-foco land register managed
to get their certificates ready by ten o'clock in the
morning, though, when applied TO by the Wings, he
positively refused stating that time dbl not allow nm
to copy all the contained IN the application
This i another specimen Of the equality and fairness
Of loco foco office holders.
By means of these new voters, the enemy had
decided majority on the last days poll--no large
enough however, To councrbalance the Wing majo-
rites of the two days preceding.
When we consider that al least 400 voters have left
the city that the judges were nncommonly strict in
cxaciing the requisite qualifications, and that the polls
of,wo municipalities were held al one, in consequence
of the sickness and absence Of of the presiding
Judges, every one will adm, tina, the vote has been
immense.
al We have heard flying reports from the ndja
cent parishes They augur iavoraby for the triumph
Of the Harrison ticket But we are unwilling TO give
publicity TO rumors, which the actual result may
contradict.
