Glorious Old Addison.

Speaking of the result of the late election in
Addison County, the .Nidilebury Gaiary holds
the following pleasant language. We commend
10 our excellent friends of the Van Buren, Cour-
Ter the observations below touching the repre-
.en,atiyes elect from Monkton and Starksboro.
We knew both gentlemen, last fall, at Montpe-
lier: and no better anti Van Buren, Wings were
in the House. We recommend that " free

whether they can lie relied upon for Mr. Sub

1t will be seen that cold Addison" maintains
an unbroken front. IN Mddebury the focal
point of the great Free Soil' operation, where
the coalition was first formed, aud where too of
the great lights of Free Democracy" (beng
ves,dents) have exerted the full extent OF their
influence there is, il will be seen, an increase of
the Wing vote from last year In Cornwall,
where William Slade made a special effort, Just
before the election there is gain OF % wing
votes. Salisbury, we understand, elected It's
Representative with but one dissenting vote -
In Vergenncs, on the Representative vote, a
Wing gain Of l6 is reported. From the reports
respecting the city, put in circulation by our
"Free Soil " neghbors, we had calculated on
quite a different result. in Whiting staunch
