THE ELECTIONS.

Yesterday, the battle between the two
policaI parties in this State was decided;
the contest was a severe one, particularly
in this section--lhe whole forces OF either
party were brought out, trained ,marshalled,
and supposed to be in perfect preparation
for the onslaught. The polls opened al
O'Clock, A. H., and from that hour ill 4
O'Clock, p. NJ, the Meeting house was
thronged by citizens eager TO discharge
the responsible duties of freemen, TO Their
country, in a conscientious and faithful
manner 1t would be as impossible TO de-
pici the enthusiasm and excitement which
pervaded the mass there assembled, as il
would be ungenerous TO suppose that any
other motives than those OF the purest
patriotism, the most unfinching attach
ment and devotion 90 the best interests Of
their native or adopted country, operated
on any individual who yesterday deposited
his ballot for the highest officers of the
Stale, in the exercise of the most impor-
tant privileges that Americans are blessed
with. The entertainment Of such sus-
pIcion pre-supposes doubt Of the ability
Of the people TO govern themselves, a mis-
trust OF mans political and moral integrity,
and is echoing the thousand and one cal
umnes which the enemies of Liberty and
Of the race have circulated to impede the
development OF American institutions here,
anil prevent their Introduction elsewhere.
Never let it be supposed, never, we re-
peat, should it be circulated that mans in
tegrity is insufficient 10 Withstand the temp
iaiions, which I" flesh is heir to."-Such
assertions would strengthen The power of
monsrchists and rivet their influence over
the mass, and in the same proportion
would it repress and discourage the efforts
Of these enslaved people TO throw off their
shackles, aud stand erect in the full stature
Of Natures nobility. II the people err or
miscalc alate, il is their want OF intel
iigence we should lament, and that can
only be remedied by placing before them
correct Information we may then conf
csntiy rely on their good sense and their
love Of virtue 10 dictate the proper course
--otherwise--lct their own experience be |
their tutors. Information obtained in this |
way will never be forgotten. and will eyer |
exert beneficial, influence over their pol |
iiieal conduct.
The contest between the two powerful
parties was entirely unconnecied [ai least
10 ihis section OF the stsie) with any other
interest or question which might distract
Their councils or tend 10 divide their ranks.
Neither Canadian patriotism. Abolition
Ism, nor any other ISM MAS adopted as a

The unfinching patriot, w. l.. Mac
kenzie has written long letter in the
Rochester Daily .4drertiser, from which
we copy the following passage:
6" respectfully request my worthy
friend Capt. Ryan, OF the North Ameri-
can, to return my grateful acknowledge
ments to Messrs Fletcher and Smith, for
their unwearied exertions in Congress on
behalf of Canada, and their powerful aid
in securing my liberation"
1t is with pleasure that we join with
Mr.. Mackenzie in rendering our sincere
thanks TO Messrs. Fletcher and Smith for
their unwearied erertions in Congress on
behalf Of Canada, and their powerful aid
in procuring the liberation of that injured
man, whose imprisonment was disgrace
10 the American nation. AS the cleo
ton for Congressman in the Districts TO
which these two gentlemen belong, is now
passed, we hope we shall not offend the
party BY discharging duty i'm
posed upon US as the Editor OF patriot
paper, who. although attached TO neither
of the political parties of this Union, is YET
obliged to praise or to censure, now and
then, some OF their adherenrs.
Had every member Of Congress, Ike
the Honorables Smith and Fletcher, fol-
lowed the noble example set by Messrs.
Gushing and Norvell, they would have
done Justice 10 the patriots, honor 10 the
American name, and good service 10 their
country.

10 America things cannot be carried 90

Between twelve and one O'Clock vester-

TO Madame DE Salaberry. standing within
so rods of the Dragon barracks at Cham

military were instantly called out, but all
their efforts to exiinguish the flames were
useless. About an hour or SO afterwards.
and before the flames from this barn had
subsidized, the bugle sounded another alarm
and il was discovered that the barn III Mr.

In the History of Lower Canada pub
Ished in this number, our readers will find
an interesting account Of McLane's execu-
ton, which took place in July 1871, for the
pretended crime Of High Treason. II will
he seen that even as far back as that period
American citizens were hung for High
Treason, which involves a breach Of allie
glance TO Crown TO which they did not
belong. Such was the case with DR.. F.. A.
Theller at Toronto. He also was senten-
ced TO be hung for High Treason, although
he was a citizen Of these United States.
McLane's murder is one Of the loulest
crimes which blot the annals Of Lower
Canada. But fortunately the British
Government alone has rendered itself gull
ty of that innocent mans death.
