The Transcript Again.

The "guten'' organ founders about terribly in
consequence Of the CONCLUSIVE manner in which It's
fasehoods in relation to Mr. Gross, havev been
nailed to the counter No stale courezan ever made
fuss at having her virtue called in question.
In attempting escape from lis position, it falls into
the usual course of fasiGers, by forging new false
heeaa, sustain that already told and, in series
Of shutting prevarications, which would be scandal.
ousy disgraceful to any concern, having the SEM
bance Of respectability, occupies nearly two Of its
columns on Friday last.
We shall not follow the gingerbread Rheet''
through its long article for much Of it has reie
vancy to the question at issue, but shall conine
remarks to some Of It's more prominent falseheods.
Our readers will recoIect that first notice Of this
matter, was the 9th instant. We then stated,
that, in consequence Of some remarks made in an
address before a Sabbath School, ]" story had
gone abroad, that Mr.. Cross had gone from the
Free Soil ranks, and would vote for Winthrop at the
mex. election" We then made can unqualified
denial'' Of the truth Of the story, and suboined
statement of what Mr.. Cross himself had said in re-
iston to IL, as reported to us by gentleman Of un-
questioned integrity, who took down the words on
he sp OF.
In this article, no reference 70 the Transcript
made or intended. We did not have il in view at
the time but referred to a story, which as we had
been informed, was currently reported by the Wings
Of West Boylston, and which we were assured had
been widely circulated in the neighboring towns.
Yet the Transcript in iir fury Of Friday, says that
in our article we sought "io make us 1.-The Tran
script appear having published faIre report Of
Mir. Cross's remarks" and again il says, the Spy
abused us by is futile effort 70 make il appear that

TI.e L.est e,laance.

The Elections which are 10 take place on Mon
day next, will decide the political character of
the government of the State for the next year.
The Wings have majority of ID, in the towns
that have already chosen representatives, and
hope, by dint Of management and extraordinary
effort, to maintain majority, although the popu-
lar vote is against them in four fihs of the towns
which are yet to choose. This, they openly
avow, and, Judging from the past, we are to look
for the employment of the most INSCRIPTIONS
means to effect the object. The question, then,
to tEetbwns which have the right to elect, is
this; Will you suffer party in minority of ten
thousand, to control, absolutely, the government
OF the State, and do it by means of a system
which deprives a majority of the towns in the
State Of the right of annual representation. Will
you permit the city interest aud city fuence TO
get the entire ascendency over the country in
terest, and that by your own supineness, or dis
regard Of your own rights and interests! If you
sutferh noac, in yeal when you have the right
OF vote in the Legislature, and prevent it,
you must not think it strange if your interests are
neglected and trampled under foot in subsequent
years, when your right of represention shall have
been exhausted, and when the city and CONNER
have every thing its ewn way.
The Free Sellers and Democrats can choose
respectable majority of the legislature if they
will; but 1t can be done only by energy, decision,
determination, and cordial cooperation. The
towns which have the right to elect, in Worcester
county alone can overcome the present Wing ma
jorlty, and leave TO the rest of the State the duty
OF securing good working MAJORITY 1t would,
be shameful for them, if they should not do it, and
1t almost seems work of supcrerogation to urge
the matter upon the voters of any of the towns.
Yet we have seen the Wings, by dint Of great
effort, and by sowing dissentions among their OPP
ponents, elect their representative in Barre,
town which has been against them time out Of
mind, and in other towns of like character. We
have seen them, in like manner, defeat choice
IN several towns where there were large major
tiles against them. There is, therefore, cause
for alarm and necessity for work and for unity
of action, if we would succeed, although the pop
ular majority is SO strongly with in a large
portion Of the towns which have not yet elected.
Up, then, and to the work! Let nothing be
omitted that shall be necessary TO secure re-
form government, which shall carry on and perfect
the good work, so well begun last year. And,
especially, let every town in old Worcester coun-
ty do its duty, and It's whole duty, so that what
a ~ n
blame and self regrets in the premises. We
promise our friends that the city Of Worcester
will do its share Of the good work, and send five
representatives on the side of freedom and re
form.

important from Mexico.

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 18th.
The steamship Fanny has arrived with late and
important news from the Rio Grande Col Cara.
vaja had been compelled to raise the siege of Mata-
moras. He held out for time, in hopes of
daily receiving reinforcements; but being disap-
pointed, was compelled in consequence of the want
of artillery TO beat retreat. The Mexicans then
sailed ont Of the town and routed the insurgents,
who suffered an i'm nense loss. Caravait succeeded
in reaching Rynosa, at which place he collected his
forces, and about returning to Matamoras to re-
new the attack An extra from the office of the
Rio Bravo, giving still later accounts, says that
Caravaja was daily receiving large reinforcements,
aud had commenced his march for Maamoras, at
which place Gen. Canales had arrived with 300 of
the National Gnards. Gen. Urega was momentari.
y expected with 800 regulars to assist in the defence
of Matamoras. Receiving officers had been de-
spached by Caravajal to the U. s., and it was re-
ported that he had also issued declaration of Jude
pendence.

A BEAR STORY. A correspondent of the
Traveller relates the following story of the cap
ture of ''huge black bear.''
"Mr. Emerson Shaw, of Quincy, has in his
possession huge black bear, weighing nearly
400 pounds, and wild and ferocious as any
OF the bear kind ever seen in this vicinity The
capture of this bear was in this WISE Six men
belonging TO Quincy made hunting excursion 10
the vicinity oil Moosehead Lake. After several
days chase in search game, they at last came in
sight OF this bear, and Immediately started in
pusuit, determined to take him alive. They sue
ceeded after long struggle in driving him into
the Mooseamagunda Lake.
Two boats were then procured and poor Bruin
was beseiged so that he could not escape He
did not seem disposed TO yield, however, and for
over forty hours the men could not make the
least attemp, 10 confne HIM. AT last poor Brun
became fatigued, and was taken In tow. With
witch hazle, his legs were tied, and on reach
ing shore, witch hazle basket was made and
string on poles, and in this the bear was borne.
on the shoulders Of the hunters, seven miles. A
wagon was procured, and his bearship was
conveyed to Duck6eld, and thence by railroad to
Boston.
The bear is now alive, and is at the residence
of Mr.. Shaw Of Quincy. The battle fought in
order to capture him was very severe, and two
ct the hunters stood in the water three hours be-
fore he could be securely bound -

LOOK OUT!--It has leaked out that the game Of
the Wbgs, in the towns where there is any chance
for the election, Representatives, Of Free Soier
or Democrat is to their forces, the opening
Of the town meeting and carry to dissolve the
meeting before the other parties shall come in, as
to defeat the election. A certain ex.oficia is very
buny in the matter The only way TO guard against
the tricks of our adversaries is have every man
at the polls, as the meeting is opened, and to
keep them there till an election is effected.
Our opponents making most desperate effort
to "redeem the Stdte," by the taking the govern.
ment from the hands Of the majority, and putting it
into those Of the minority, and fraud. deceit, and
every interruptions device, will be rerorted to, to
compass their ends. Be on the alert, then, and as
earnest and energetic for the right, they for
the wrong, and the result will be glorious for the
cause Of Freedom and reform.

DUTIES OF PRESIDING OFFICERS. = We
are informed that in some instances, at the late
election, the officers presiding at the meetings
threw out some Of the ballots, because it was
found, on opening the envelopes, that there were
some in which the sealing did not adhere This,
the officers had no right 10 do. The presumption
of law Is, that when the envelopes are deposited
in the ballot box, they sealed; and the officers
have no right TO throw out any ballots, unless it
can be conclusively shown and proved, that the
envelope was unsealed and open when it was
deposited.

CONVICTION OF MISUNDERSTANDING Lopez
was convicted at New York on Monday, after a
long trial. ofthe murder Of Michael Foster. Tie
Tribune. in noticing the conviction. says:
II is fact full Of terror and gloom when an
ordinance Of society takes away the life of hu-
man being, which the united wisdom and strength
and might Of all mankind, from the first to the
last Of the world, could neither give nor restore.
1t is in circumstances such as this, where least
can be said for the entity one, that this terrible
punishment presents the most revolving features.
The sacrifice ofthis mans life will not atone for
the blood ofthe murdered officer; it will uot help
to clothe or feed or succor his widow or orphans;
1t will satisfy no end or aim Of justice on earth,
and we shudder if it be intimated that it will ia
any way appease the wrath Of God.

How OLD BEN HARDIN GOT HIS WIFE
Romance is sometimes embodied in fact six
inches long An instance of this may be found
In the rich and funny stratagem by which Old
Ben Hardin of Kentucky got his wife, of which
we have this account:
In the days of his young manhood, he was n
workman on the farm of wealthy landhoder in
that State, and there sprung up between the Young
iaDorer and the old mans daughter, what ia often
called /" secret attachment
by the bye, though, attachments are generally
secret. Well, Ben and his Dulcinea made ont
matters IN proper time, without the knowledge or
consent of his intended father-in-law. Indeed.
the old man had never suspected that the aspra-
tons of the youth were tending towards an alli
ance with his family, and if it had ever occurred
TO him, he would have spurned the thought Ben
was aware of his aristocralc notions, and of the
existence of almost insurnountable objections TO
the match. So one day, consulting the ingenuity
oil his nature, he devised ways and means to
bring it about.
Going TO the old man, he told him that unfor-
tunaiely he had conceived liking for the da ugh
ter OF wealthy farmer in the neighborhood-
that il was impossible to gain the consent of the
girls father that he loved her and she loved
him: and asked what course he would advise him
10 pursue.
"Won't she run away with you % said the old
mani
'She might" answered Ben, +" If I could
make the arrangements. DO you think it would
be honorable for me to take advantage of such a
thingl"
Certainly" replied the originator Of the plot
there would be nothing wrong"
Ben so enlisted the old man in his favor, that
ne made him tender of his horse and buggy,
and few dimes TO carry out the elopement.
The place Of meeting was arranged, and, reader,
you know the rest. Ben ran of with the old
mans daughter, fact which the old man snufIed
~ with the next mornings breeze, and one which
chagrlned him not little Winding up as novels
DOZEN and bis wife were forgiven.
