The License Election.

The License Election.
From all quarters we hear Of the triumph Of the
friends of Rum in the late License Election. With
few exceptions, the towns, so far as heard from,
have gone for License, showing great revolution
since last year. Our returns generally do not ena'
BILE us to compare the votes Of the present with
those of last year, and therefore we do not give
them in the tabular form.

A correspondent writes:
This result Is attributable In part to the inactivity Of
the Temperance folks and In part to an extraordinary
effort of the rum selling and rum-drinking community.
Ali the refuse of the Locos-Gog and Magog-were
gathered together presenting something like that
described by the Evangelist in the Apocalypse II was
extremely interesting to view the contrast between the
two parties"

A correspondent at Blooming Grove writes,
Although there appears a great change in the vote
during the year there have been very few votes changed
The voters from the different gangs upon the Newiork
and Erie Railroad make the dterence-for the greatest
proportion OF License votes are foreigners, The secur
w felt for the Temperance ticket was afraid would
ruin IT,
Another correspondent, writing from Cornwall,
says:
In the morning we were carrying everything before
u.s. being something like sixty in advance but about
noon a perfect avalanche OF RUNNERS overwhemed
us and scattered fond hopes to the winds The very
dregs of society the filth of the gutter and kennel seem
ed scraped up for the occasion. Every corner was ran
sacked outof,he way places explored; and every h's
bearing the image of man however vile, base and de-
graded was brought to the polls fast as crazy wagons
and isied horses could fetch them-t being out OF the
question for many Of the fraternity to aik At every
arrival there was a great hurrshng, waving Of hats
and noisy manifestation of delight the part Of the
drunken crowd They were 80 nspirissd. Nor the
Temperance party entirely inactive In their attempts to
,em the torrent, As the various wagons approached
far AZ you could zee them you could tell the character Of
Il. voter, Appearances being in this very seldom
other side of the mountsns"-ss we call ibid very
much better than we did up this way. They sent up
slooposd Of voters numbering 100, Of which 90 voted
No License Their organization was altogether better
than and the resul, has put quite to the blush As
we feel we have nobody blame but ourselves. As 1t
Is we must acknowledge beat and hope for better
things next Spring.
