DAILY FNEE PRESS--TUESDAY.
THE ELECTION.
The rout Of The Allies :

So far as we can Judge, at the time Of going
to press the Wings of Vermont have achieved
their accustomed Victory. IF the result in
Burlington is any index the triumph is COM
plcte and overwhelming! We have but few
returns, but they appear to be decisive.
Burlington has covered herself with glory
We have not tn heart to stick stick into
Free Democracy" As friend at our side
suggests, the Leaders Of that unfortunate party
will have to "get out search warrant" to find
its "pald renlains!' Never was Bogus " or
ganization' SO utterly demolished Last year,
the Free Democracy candidate, who was elect
ed and set up, to represent the nnti-s'arery sem
tment of Burlington received 1i6 votes This
year, the candidate of that party, got % votes
--'co less than hn .fhe number giren 10 the can
didate orthat ercited and hopeful faction, a gear
ago!
We feel no disposition either to rejoice or
laugh! Free Democracy never had any claim
upon the confidence or respect of the People of
Vermont, and its death will be looked upon with
satisfaction i'll all quarters. 1t was born I'M
mitglted political iniquity nurscd in intrigue
AMI trickery, and has died premaurely for want
r of either responsibility or principle. In This
County its orr ginators absolutely smothcrcd it
by excessive dcviltry. 7 hey made themselves
deseredly odious by an open and barcfaccd at
tempt TO coalesce with the Old Line Dcmocra-
{ cy who utterly rcpulatcd and cast out the only
distinctive principle to which it lail claim; and
g
serving people, that its vote has dwinded down
to point TINT is harmless, at least, if not con-
temptbe! Never was popular condemnation
- more emphatic and decisive We record it
without the least disposition to indulge in en-
ultation or rdcuc.
So far as our returns GO, there is a clear in
. dcaton that parties are arranging themselves
once more upon the true and only ground Of
political antagonism-that Of well defined and
:" distinctive difference of political principle
y We hail the fact as good omen. We rejoice
in every instance where an Old Line Locofocc
is found to have succeeded a representative o
the Bogus stamp. We rejoice in it because
we like to know whom and what we are fight
'' ing. We hate to beat the air. We prefer al
open and manly foe to contend with and sucl
v is the " Democracy of the Old Organizations
In controversy with such an opponent victor,
is honorable ana defeat 10. disgrace iul- whit
there is neither onor nor glory in routing
party like the rlcuously misnaned Free De
mocracy, which h1s neither character nor repu
tation nothing but useless cXstence) to lose
,,-',o b.,o b,I tl,o Of
Democracy" have got lesson from the teemc
Of Chitenden County, this time, which we CON
~ mend to their sober study! They have manoeu
IN vcred quite flourishing party pretty much on
A of political existence, and We trust they una
a be able clearly to sec how they did it "
ro hope they will take notice that they cannc
or carry Yankees who profess to be anti SLAYER
3D. mon, into the support of men who deliberatel
declare that Slavery has nothing to do wit
our State Elections The next time Ere
ot Democracy" uniieS with anybody, we trust
IN will be with those who hold their principles
~ some decent respect!
