| County by about 100 majority.
The locos have carried two Counties in
which the Wings elected their Senators last
Vear-COledonia and Bcnningtun-both of
which are usually nearly balanced, but are
! Wing upon full vote and when foreign qucs-
tions are not brought in to disturb the harmony
ofpoltical action
The House, it will be seen, is clearly Wing
over all, and the joint ballot will be amply
| large.
Upon the adoption by the people of the IL
cense law, passed last year by the vote of all
parties, the locos (some of them) declared it
would revolutonize the State; and so far as
our information extends they set about the
matter in eaEnest-sccretly organizing the par
! ty-and by doing they have brought out
their strength more fully than the Wings
who by the way, have done less this year than
they have done for any past year. The wings
| have had no organization, and if any State or
County Committee has lifted a finger in order
to get out a full vote, we have not heard of it
AS consequence Our vote is light, that of
the locos FULL made so in part by the aid they
were enabled to secure upon the license uues.

doing any thing they most surely can do the
next thing to annihilating them by a decent
effort.
Vermont is wing, and there is no use in
dsputing it. The Wings can, any day they
choose, lead the locofocos upon the popular
vote GoOO at least, and in Joint ballot of the

THE RAIL ROAD. We learn TIT the
Contractors on the Connecticut and Fna-
sumpsic Rivers Rail Road are now at work on
every section between White River and Wells
River, and that good degree OF progress has
been made at several important points. IF
forts are being made TO place in all the founda-
tons for Bridges the present autumn, that the
work may not be retarded another Spring by
the rise of water. Meantime the work ofgra-
ding is making steady progress and before the
setting in of winter several of the easy sections
will be nearly or quite completed
The amount of rock cutting has been found
much less than was anticipated, and US this
work need rot to be interrupted during the
winter, we look forward to the next mid-sum-
) mor as the time for laying the rails upon a
good portion of the first forty miles of OUR

, and that over $1500O0 has been added since
the letting ofthe contracts in May.
