got about $50 voters in town who go for wing priRc
Piles and wing measures and wing men, and nothing
can intimidate them. Though they may be occasion
ally beaten, they will rally again to the combat.
We are pleased to remark that the noisy, disgrace
full scenes which were enacted on the first day were
not witnessed on the second; but that every thing
went off quietly and in perfect order-excepting that
after Mr.. Bacon was declared elected, the boys got
the old swivel and burnt all the gunpowder they
could find.
The following is the state Of the vote:

NsU. Hartford held her adjourned election on Mon
day last, and made choice Of Abram Wilcox (whig)
for second Representative.
Norfolk held hers also, and for the same Office made
choice Of Hiram Gaylord (whig) ~
O. long poetical communication upon the sub
jec of the late election, in type, we are obliged to
postpone to next week to make room for advertise
mens received at late hour and which it is neces-
sary to publish forthwith.
An apology is due to our neighboring town Of Tor
ringfon for the position in which she was placed last
week with regard to majorites in this county. She
should have stood second only to New-Hartford. Go
shen always does SO we'll that we vnwuingly gave
her now the second rank in the county: but the fact
is she gave only go majority for Ellsworth, while Tor
rngton gave 95. Good-very good
Norfolk, too, deserves honorable mention for the
part she has done. With less than 300 votes she has
increased her wing majority of % last year to SO this
in proportion to the number Of votes than any
other town in the county. And yet neither Norfolk
nor New-Hartford were enabled on the first day to
elect them second representatives.
Sharon did about the best Of any town in the coun.
ry-for she redeemed herself and gave "a majority
for Ellsworth. But the most ludcrous of all things is
the reason that Cotton gives for the overthrow of loco
focoisnr. In grave document from the Town Com
mittee, he ascrbes his deeatnot to the fact that he
could not get votes enough-whichwoul be very well
but to the fact astonishing true that some Is
democrats left the loco ranks and deliberately and
with malice atorethought actually voted with the
wings! What naughty creatures these democrats
mist have been! don't you think 80, Cotton?
% Our southern (l6,h) district, we believe, is lost
Mr.. Potter suppose is chosen by some 2oor 80 ma
jority-how much we do not know with certainty
for we do not know how many votes from Bethlem
were cast in Woodbury. nor do we pretend to know
how the votes Of Woodbury. and Bethem should have
been kept separate, when those from Bethlem must
have been given in on certificate. Perhaps the Duke
Of Nonewaugs can make it all as "clear as mud"
P.S We learn that the number of votes given by
the Bethlem people at Woodbury.. and Kept in sepa-
box, for the wings g. for the ocos 64-which
gives Mr.. Potter ocoa majority in the district Of "a
or sc votes.
Ne,r-York City Charter Election last Tuesday,
From appearances, we should Judge that the Wings
were intending contend for the supremacy very
strongly. Mayor Varian is the loco candidate for re-
election, and J. Phillips Phoenix the wing candidate
Rhode Island held her state election yesterday
We anticipate little more wing "hai"
Virginia leads off next week on Thursday The
election will be holly contested as on the result of it
depends the choice of two U. States Senators-Mr
Roanes term expiring with the present Congress- and
Mr. Rives' having already expired, and two success
sve legislatures having failed to reflect him or choose
any one else. We look with no little solicitude for
the result, for if she goes against the Magician his
hopes euen are utterly blasted.
Death of Mr.. Bssts.-It will be seen by our proceed
ing columns that Hon. THADDEus Belts, one of our
Senators in Congress, expired at Washington last
week. His remains were brought to Norwalk for in
terment.
GLORIOUS TRIUMPH IN CINCINNATI!!!
Harrison at HOmc.--There were about 1900 votes
poed on yesterday, greater number, four recollec.
ton is right than ever given in this city BEFORE no. ex-
cepting the Presidential election Of 1896
We are that this election although of local
character has been looked to with intense interest," in
every part Of the Union, aording evidence Of
the popularity Of Gen. Harrison at home. The test
was reluctantly made, by the friends of Old Tippeca-
noe, because there were many candidates on the Van
Buren, ticket, that were unexceptonabe, to char
acter and qualifications for Office Party lines having
been drawn Of necessity large majority Of the friends
Of Gen. Harrison supported the regularly nominated
tickets Of the opponents Of the loco foco admnstra
tion and the result it, that the average majority for
"Old Tippscanoe" is 1868 in Cincinnati, being
nearly 700 more than he had for President, and $50
more than has been given any previous election for
the last seven years With the exception Of one con-
stable who is elected by 30 votes. there has been
clean ssDep Of the Tppeeanoe Broom; other but
Harrison men elected Cincinnati Ne'us. April7
A Ssox IN TExNEssEE.-A few days ago, ThOs. J.
Campbell the Wing candidate for eleesOF in tho 9th
district Of Tennessee, and Geo. w. Rice. the Loco
Foeo candidate. came in contact upon the stump
The diseOmfturs Of poor Rice was awful. The next
day he addressed latter 10 the Athens Courier with
