1--WE see it stated that the workmen on
the Central Rail Road between Montpelier g.
Burlington have been taken off and that oper-
atoms on that portion of the line have ceased
altogether. We have seen no reason assigned
for the movement, but presume it has refer
ence to more direct efforts to finish the line
from Windsor to Montpelier-which the Cor
poraton should have done from the begin
ninr.

ELECTIONS.

DELAWARE ERECT! For day or two
the Wing cause looked "squally" in little
Delaware, owing to a local question in regard
to the Wing candidate for Governor-the par
donng of forger. He would not pledge
himself to this, as did his opponent, and the
excitement was SUCH shat he lost lis election;
but the State is Whg-the Wings having c.
lected their Congress man, and majority in
both branches of the Legslature--thus sucur-
ing U. s. Senator for years from the 4th of
March next.
NEW YORK. We have received the OFF,
cial results in the two Congress Districts of
N. York, which have been regarded some
what doubtful. In Jefferson, JosEPH MULLIN,
Wing, is elected by A majority, and Tomp-
kins, Chemung and Yates, WILLIAM T. LAW
RENEE, Wing, is elected by "a majority.
The Wings have thus TwENTY-THREE
straight-out Wings elected to the next Con-
gress with three 'Old Hunkers' elected by
Wing votes, to eight regular Loco FOcos
MICHIGAN. The Loco Focos have car
ried all three Congress Districts and decided
majority of the Legislature, though the re-
turns show Wing gain in the House and on
the popular vote. This ensures the gain of
Loco Foco U. s. Senator for six years from
the 4th of March last, in place of Hon. VIM
Woodbridge The Wings might have carried
the State, but they thought they couldn't and
so didn't half try. We think they will hard
ly be so unbeleving again
MASSACHUSETTS The Wing triumph is
overwhelming. The Wing net gain for Gov
ernor from last year is lO,000-and Briggs ma
jority over all in all except two small towns, is
1898.
Senate--3l elected, and all Wings
House--IS0 Wings, IS Locos and 6 Liberty.
Congress-The 9th District-the only loco
District in the State-nnd which has bal
loted eight times TO elect member to the
present Congress-at this trial-the 9th-has
elected Hale, Wing, by 10 majority. This
makes 8 wings elected 10 Congress, one other
(King) probably elected, and the Wing in the
other Districts lacks about $50 of having a
majority over all. He will succeed at the
next trial, and Massachusetts will present a
clean Wing Delegation in Congress.
Efforts were made in Boston to defeat Win
throp because he voted for Army supplies but
they proved abortive. He succeeded by n ma
jority over three ouneI candidates of $3.50.
IOWA. The latest accounts of each party
claim the Legislature of this new State with e.
quail pertinacity. 1t may be as well to wait u
little, however, before being very positive a.
out it.
Two U. S. Senators are pending upon the
result of the Legislature. A letter in the
Tribune from Galena, I'M says:-The Wings
have carried the Legislature. From my own
data, believe this to be the true result, anG
if SO, we have "glcry enough for one day"
The Loco Foco State officers and Members
of Congress (for the coming session only are
doubtless elected.
p. S. Latest accounts say the Wings have
80 members of the Legislature, which, we be
lieve, gives them a majority

Labor's Thanksgiving Hymn.

BY MARY HowITT.
That must work thank thee, God!
/ know that hardship toll and pain,
Like rigorous winter in the sod
Which doth mature the hardy grain,
Call forth in man his noblest pOwers;-'
Therefore hold my head erect.
And, amid life Is severest hours,
Stand steadfast in my self-respect
| thank thee God, that must toll!
Yon crmined slave of lineage nigh,
The game-law lord who owns the soil,
Is not so free a man as L.
He wears the letters of his clan;
Wealth, birth and rank have hedged him I'M
| heed but this, that am MAN,
And to the great in mind akin!
Thank God, that like the mountain oak
My lot is with the storms oflife;
Strength grows from out the tempest's shock
And patience in the daily strife.
The horny hand, the furrowed brow,t
Degrade not, howe'er sloth may deem;
It's this degrndes-to criuge and bow,
And ape the vice we disesteem.
Thank God for toll, for hardship, whence
Come courage, patience, hurdihood,
And for that sad experience
Which leaves our bosoms flesh and Blood
Which leaves us tears for others woe!
Brother in toll, respect myself;
And let thy stendfast virtue show
That man is noblcr far than pelf!
Thank God for toll; nor fear the face
Of wealth nor rank fear only sin,
That blight which mars all outward grace,
And dims the light of peace within
Give me thy hand, my brother, give
Thy hard and toil-stained hand to mel
We are no dreamers, we shall live
A brighter, better day to see!

THE WAR. The result of the elections
seems to have n sensible effect upon the nd
ministration Within u few days the irdicn.
tons, 80 far as they are developed at Washing.
ton, are quite different from what they were
two or three weeks since. They indicate that
Polk is n little sick of the war for Texas, and
that there is to be no further important ag-
gressive steps taken till Congress comes to-
gether-to take share of the responsibility
of prosecuting the war. Three weeks ago it
was all war at Washington and our Army was
to be in the "Halls of the Montezumas" in no
time. Now, accounts say, that the army is TO
remain in its present quiet state awaiting the
assembling of our Congress and that of Mexi-
co.
The elections show that the war is unpopu-
lar-the free States will not countenance IA
war waged for Southern supremacy 81 aggran-
dzement, and Mr. Polk, no doubt, thus reads
their results. That which was to be the glory
of the administration is becoming n stencil in
the nostrils ofthe people, and reproach to the
administration throughout the whole north
in the minds of dcmented partiznns and treas
ury fed supporters of Polkism.
Folks Treasury.fed Patriot published at
Montpelier, appealed to the people TO GO for
Peck and the war The call fell like the chills
of death upon its party, and awoke no
new spirits from the "vusty deep" or from
Washington County, TO come to its help.
Our people, like one man, would rise up TO
defend the country or its honor; but when they
are called TO fight for conquest-for the extern
sion of the slave dominion--their sense of JUS
tice and mercy will not allow them TO obey the
cull--and they never will coolly sanction such
n war This is what the Administration
seem to have scented just now. Hence it hults
and stnggers.
NOMINATIONS FOR CoNGREss IN n. HAMP-
SHIRE. The Wings of New Hampshire have
completed their nominations for Congress in
the four Districts of the state They are as
follows:
No. !. lcHABoD GooDwrN, of Portsmouth
No. .. JOEL Eastman, of Conway.
No. 3. JAMES WmsoS, of Keene
No. 4. Henry A. BELLOWS, of Littleton
The first and third Districts gave heavy an
ti-radical maiorities at the last election, and in
both these Districts the Wing candidates will
be elected.
The second and fourth districts we believe
were carried by the Radicals at the last cleo
ton-the fourth, certainly, by SOHO 900 ma
jority. The last District embraces length
of territory extending from Charlestown,
(known as No. ~ to "Coos above the upper
Coos and is involved about as deep
ly in the darkness of Locofocosm as
ever sodom was in sin. With their excellent
candidate the Wings will do their duty and
deserve victory if they fail to win one.
The ticket is strong one, and there is not
man on it who does not possess more talents
than the whole ofthe present delegation, in
Congress, and whose election will not be hon
orable to the State.
