carried 49, and more than twofhrds Of the House Of
Representatives. Considering the character of the
foe we had to contend WITH what they had at stake,
and the means at their disposal we have achieved one
Of the greatest political triumphs ever known.
Connecticut has been looked to by her sister Wing
States as leading off in the great struggle against
misrule and coruption-their ewes have been turned
to her. and the result awaited with intense interest
She has not disappointed their hopes, but has taken
her stand foremost in the ranks, where we trust she
The importance Of the result was well understood
by the party IN power at Washington, and they made
desperate effort 70 recover their ground here Their
barefaced and wicked-and not only were those in
this state who were dependent upon them Tor office,
active and untinng in their exertions, but ocehod
ers from other states were sent among US to lecture
them how to vote This attempt at interference with
our opinions has met with most signal rebuke. As

TIE ELECTION, in this town, has rather disappoint-
ed our expectations. Notwithstanding the loud boast
ngs of our adversares and the desperate efforts they
were making, in all sorts Of uays, to carry the town,
we did not think they would be able to come near
doing it as they appear to have done. We were a.
ware that during the past year we had lost more by
death and removal than antagonists, but believed
that this loss would be more than made up by
siOns from other quarters. We were aware too that
the whole force Of the county was to be put in requi
siton to make an impression upon the wing strength
here. Thanks, however, TO the indomitabe energy
and spirit Of the whgs they not easily conquer
ed, and are not yet conquered and, by timely and
universal attendance upon the polls next Monday, we
shall still keep the flag floating over the nhg toun of
Litchfeld.
There were two ballotings had for first Represen.

meeting was adjourned to Monday next The follow
