We here met The enemy and they arc ours.
The election for u Member OF Congress TO I'LL Tie
vacancy created by the resignation of hr. wilkins
came of Yesterday and, notwithstanding the extra
ordinary bad state OF the roads and the rain, the
people turned out nobly. The result is abundanitl
announced in the motto at the head OF this letter
You know how sadly we were beaten last election
all to be sure by the sheer folly Of disunon. Well
Yesterday was the first chance the united forces OF
the Anti-Locos had 10 show their strength since
their cordial union and healing Of old sores. The
upshotis, that CoRSELIus DARRAGH is strumpbanty
elected over Gazzam by majority Of from SUI to
900. The desperate state of the roads has pre-
vented the receipt OF intelligence from all the town
ships: but enough is known justify the belett that
the Wing majority viii not fall much short OF ,o''
The Liberty party did their utmost 10 defeat Oar
ragh's election They hit upon the extraordinary
expedient of nominating Neville B. Craig, Esq
formerly the great Lion OF Antimasonry, in hopes OF
seducing many eli the old Antimasons from voting
Tor principles TO voting for man but it sad
uistake-he people stuck TO principle, and MI
Craig and his new found Liberty friends ere in bad
case. The conduct OF the Liberty party was very
extraordinary. Nlr. G.. is not known as Liberty

the Colonization Society," and if he resigned it is not
sonal ends, nominated and supported him Precious
consistency this Their modification at his petty
vote is excessive. This is great triumph over Lo-
cos Political Abolition and Dsorganizers. IT Is A
GREAT yICToRY-lt carries dismay into the ranks ol
our opponents--it will he thunderholt at Washing

prodigiousl y-and finally it is absolute pledge OF
a more glorious triumph III October with Nlarkle and
Harry OF the Vest.

wear ago-how disheartened were-how many
difficulties have been conended ugainst-yOu can

night as one after another came in from the several
districts and announced the results. Cheers, cen

Be sure the genuine spirit of 1910 is boiling up

things from us in the Fall. Returns continue to
come in slowly-the majority for Darraghis already
500.
