khe old town ot LltchheId has done nobly. Her Whig and Conservative soldiers have branded the reyers of the gallant HARRISON as they deserve to be branded. The sting of defeat at the ballot box is upon them in legble chaEacters--9l distinct stripes In the county town, and the residence of the candi- date of the loco focos for Hector the whgs have in. crO"sed their whg majority of last spring 79 votes more than twice as much as any otier town in the county.

Watertown then comes along . with her strong team-93 majory-a handsome in- crease since the spring election. Litchfeld comes close 10 Wa,ertown and Gnshen, though not in their proportionate majority. Barkhamsted and Harwin- Ton too deserve high praise. Nor should Kent e un. semembered-from a majority against the wligs three or four years since about equal to her entire whig vote, the whigs have gained the ascendancy, and now stand proudly erect-l5 ahead.
