THE GREA TEST POLITICAL VIC
TORY SINCE THE FLOOD !-FED-
ERALISM ANNLHILATED IN IT'S
STRONGEST HOLD !--LET ALL
CIR EATON REJOICE !--GLORY
ENOUGH FOR 100 YEARS.
D'Thc great contest in Clinton County be-
tween the friends Of the Constitution and Laws
on the one side, and the advocates of Europe
an dcspotisn and a Sub Treasury monarchy on
the other, has been fought, and the victory won!
The people have gloriously triumphed--we
" have met the enemy and they are ours!" A
Dfv1yE PROVIDENCE, who caused our ancestors
TO triumph on the battle fields Of the Revolution,
h,s smiled upon the efforts of the wings, and
crowned their ~cxertions with a signal riciory!
N,ver since the food has a more glorious po-
litical triumph been achievod-never since the
llth OF September, 1914, when the yco,nanry of
Old Clinton drove the combined forces of Great
Britain from our village, have they acquitted
themselves more honorably than they have on
the three days of Election just past. The far
IN ,rs and mechanics have nobly conc to the res
Gle of their liberties. They have defeated a
stan ling army stationed in Plattsbursh--.hey
are victorious over an armed force and a militia
RI despoiiSm! Thanks to their vigilance and
a ,tivity--ctcrnal honor and gratitude to their
Patriotism. In vain has a hired soldiery been
brought to the ballot box to trample under foot
their freedom-in vain has money been poured
forth like rivers Of water to bride the people
and in vain has the country been flooded with
fllsehoods from a pensioned press. To sum up
briefly, the result of the election in this county,
we would say that we have elected our whole
ticket by an average majority of
TWO HUNDRED!l
GEO. NJ BECKWITH Esq.

Sheriff,
JAMES s. SNEDDEN, Esq.
is also elected by a handsome majority. Oar
candidate for Congress,
THOMAS A. TOMLINSO.N, Esq.
will be elected by a majority Of about one thou

We cannot find language to express the graft.
~ticat;on We feel at this unexpected and glorious
result. Oar village last evening, was a scene
Of perfect jubilee. The wing houses were
brilliantly illuminated, while the cannon was
roaring, the boys were shouting, the GIRLS w-re
singing, and the Tippccano, Band playing
"uarrison's march" "lIail Columbia" "Yankce
Doodle" &c, in honor Of the brilliant victor,
achieved over the federal British Tories! Yut
