"Tke Little ToSUn Meetnsgs."-We have accounts
in the Hartford and New@fEaven papers of elections
in various towns for Town Officers held on Monday
Of last week. but they Of 30 conflicting charac
ter that we cannot place much dependence on them
The bad weather and the snow seem to have pre-
vailed throughout the state and in some places the
wings attribute their defeat to this cause-sO on the
reversein few towns the locos plead that as their
excuse for being beaten. All agree, however, that
the vote was a very small one-not half and in many
cases not quarter, Of the voters were out. Under
these circumstances, though We are willing to con.
cede that the wings have for the time being lost some
towns, do not consider these elections as BY any
means a test Of party strength. 1t will have, never
theess, the effect to stimulate the ocofocos for the
spring election and we trust will also induce the
wings to more united and concentrated action They
must in the meantime prepare for tho campaign, or
they are destined to an gnominious defeat. They
must give up minor differences, and labor for the
common good
The Hartford Courant gives returns from 60 towns
in 30 of which the ocos succeeded, the wings in 81
and were divided The Register, per contra, pre-.
tends to have accounts from IS towns, in which it
takes for the locos 42-gives the wings only l7-and
puts down as divided In some Of them ,re knosO i,
errs-and it probably does in great many Others
for that print is serupulous in its election re-
turns-sves the favorable md omts or misrepresents
the unfavorabe. The Times too, and we suppose its
tender The Eagle, make considerable display. five
ever get the correct returns, will endeavor give
as usual the truth.
Maryland Election-LOcofoco triumph maryland
has followed in the wake Of Maine-gone over to the
locofocos. The election for Governor and members
of.he lower house Of the legislature held Thurs
day last. Returns are received from all except two
counties, and the result. lie that Francis Thomas now
n loco member Of congress- is chosen over VIM. Cost
Johnson, wing, also member Of congress. The vote
Of the ocos is about the as last fail, while the
wing has fallen off very greatly. Thomas majo
riiy will be from to 800. In Baltimore, last fall the
loco majority was 3l-now l0i9-and We. their entire
vote increased only 100, The House Of Delegates
will also he loco by about 40 to 81. The Senate here.
tofore chosen is now wing, and we believe nearly all
wing.
Georgia.-We have few returns from this state
but not enough to know how it has gone. The con-
test is between the present Governor, Mcdonald, To-
CO, and VIM. c. Dawson, wing member Of congress
So far the relative vote between them is about the
same as at the election last fall Chatham county. in
which 10 Savannah, has for the first time many
years given a wing majority; while we perceive
that in Richmond, in which Augusta is situated, not.
whstandng Dawson gets nearly twothirds Of The
votes t726 to 372 the locos havs chosen two Of the
Ave representatives-andi in Augusta, where the wings
had 2lo majority the loco representative was chosen
Such is Southern politics

expect will re-elect Porter for Governor, and
loco legislature From the latter hope for better
things, though no Governor is to be chosen.
