The Election in massach usetts.

The election in Massachusetts, resulted in the
election of Rantoul IF. 81 in the second dis
trict, by plurality of over thousand votes.
In the long contested Fourth, Thomson was
elected by about 100 plurality over Palfrey. In
the seventh, Goodrich was elected by about 400
plurality over Bishop, bunker dem. The success
of Rantoul on the free soil ticket, gives album
dant evidence that the RICH. state of feeling pre-
walls in that part of Massachusetts.
And the success of Goodrich, shows that the
sentiments of the working men, and farmers OF
Mass, are right on the question of human rights,
it shows further they were not disposed to be
deceised with the halt in joke, and half in earn
est pledges of Bishop, on the subject of the re.
peal of the Fugitive Slave Law. They did not
ask, nor care for his former politics, if he was
reliable and true on the only question that in fact
separates the parties. For everybody knows
that in Mass, as we'll as everywhere else, al
former political distinctions are forgotten, and the
issue is made up concisely, whethera man is fol
or against human Slavery. On this question the
next presidential campaign will be opened and
conducted, and all previous elections will, ant
should be, conducted with reference to that is
sue.
In the fourth district the battle was Tough
with great vigor, on the one hand was the indom
liable will of the free working men and on the
other were the aristocracy, and wealth Of Cam
bridge and Boston.
State street in profusion showered its gold
And gold, and cotton, prevailed against sinews
and blood, and brains and right. The closenes'
of the battle, showed hard labor, and well Tough
field. Webster whggery can bear but few
more such iriumphs in Massachusetts. 1t i:
safe 10 say that if Webster whiggery triumphet
but with 100 plurality in; this fourth district
there is not another area of 10 miles square
where it would not be routed horse and foot, gol,
and cotton, wine and women, and niggers com
| bined.
On the whole, the result is gratifying to ever,
friend of free soil for freemen.

On Saturday night last, an attempt was made
to break into the store of AIS. Powers, in this
city. The accomplished scamps broke in the
sash part Of thedoor and were unable, it seems.
to force the bolts, although they succeeded in
throwing back the bolt the lock. They were
probably frightened at something, or they would
believe, the only damages, were in breaking the
sash and glass.

destructive than the flood, in the towns of Paris
and Somers, few miles west of this, three or four
houses were blown away. One was raised
completely from the foundation, and carried a
distance of rods w hen the house struck the
ground it fell to pieces, severely injurng three
of the inmates, one man, a woman and child.
The name Of the familyis EGBERrs, the child
had its back broken. A house on the school
section, in the town Of Somers, was also blown
away, and the Inhabitants left on the floor, some
distance from whore they started. The tornado
swept through the woods, tearing down trees and
strewlng havoc and ruin in its course, in that
neighborhood. The food began to carry away
fences as far up as the farm of Mr.. LEE, then
sweeping HENRY JoHNsoN's farm, it washed
away over the widow TALCoTT's place, and rush
ed furously to the lake, over the lands of Dca

and fences, without number, till it mingled in
wild confusion with the storm-ashed waves OF
