THE TIDE TURNING.
The following notes oftriumph come to u.
from old Onondaga. They are premoni,or,
symptoms of the utter overthrow which awaits
the anti-improvementp party next fall.
SPLENDID VICTORY,
Locofoeoism routed, demolished, used up-Re
gency Legislation condemned-sStop La,cs'
passed npon--the TAX PARTY Re6uked
the Wings Of Syracuse inuinci5le-On
Onondaga sound at the core,
We have kept our sheet back until this NOR.
ming for the purpose of giving our readers the
result ofthe Charter Election, which took place
in this village yesterday. And we are happy
in being able TO state, that after stirring con.
test, the Wings have come out of the battle with
flying colors! The Tar Party, in Syracuse,
at least, is annihiated! The Pipe Layers for
the last six months have given the wings warn
ing, that our supremacy at the capitol of Cd
Onondaga was to end at the Charter Election
this Spring. Behold the result! The wings
have elected their whole ticket, with the excep-
ton of one police constable, 5y triumphant
majority. The trustees have an average ma
jority Of ONE HUNDRED AND TWELVE! The
average majority on the whole ticket is EIGHTY
NINE! Total number Of votes polled, 946.)
Onondaga is evidently preparing to take a
front rank among the redeemed counties at the
Governors election in the fall. Saina has
spoken virtually against the Tax Party. Sy-
racuse has repeated and doubled the DOSE
Wings of Onondaga heads up! A noble victo-
ry lies before you. Do your duty, and Onon-
daga will stand once more Redeemed!
There is tide in the affairs of men,
Which, taken at tho flood, leads on to vIeroaY,
The Strong Holds giving .oay.-The Char.
ter Election, at Salina, took place on the 2ls
ult, and resulted, after warm contest, for the
first time in the memory of man. in III, partial
success of the Whigs This is q fact,as strange
as it may seem. Thos. Caracher, good whig
was elected trustee, and Albert Freeman was
chosen for one of the constables, by about 25
majority. Three cheers for the indomitable
wings OF Salina mother trial, and even Sa.
lima will stand redeemed and disenthralled.'
CAPTAIN SCHINLEY AND MISS CRoGHAN-
A st. Louss paper, after alludng to the vast
amount of sympathy and Indignation that has
been launched out upon the abduction of Miss
Croghan, dIscourses as follows:
Hear the facts now. We have them from
a gentleman who is well acquainted with Col.
Croghan's family.
Miss Z. was at home sometime previous to
the marriage. During the whole of her stay
then, she was pensive, sad, and evidently loue'
sack. She was very retiring, would not 90
into company or receive the attentions of
young men, and often spoke of Cap. S. as Gear
sueet captivating Capt. S! She returned to
school, and in every letter that she wrote home
afterwards, had something to say about sweet
Captain S. In word, her friends had every
reason before her marriage, to believe that she
was deeply attached to him. The captain is
Just So; is hale, hearty, and handsome, fascin-
atlng and elegant in his manners, and might
easily pass for 40. There is no accounting
tor tastes, but the truth is, that the union was
FULLY as much desired by Miss c. as Captain
,. Miss Z. is more than Is, and many girls at
that age are fully ripe in their judgements and
feelings. She has written TO her father that
she is exceedingly happy. and should be per-
fectly so if her father will forgive her. This
he will probably do soon, according to accounts,
and the elegant captain will be saved from the
reported assassination, or horse whipping, and
received as the son-in-law of Col. c. And so
this terrible mischief will end.
