Hon. ALvAH SABINE, Wing, has, without doubt,
been elected to Congress from the Northern district
of Vermont, by large plurality At the Septem-
Der trial he failed of an election by want of ma
jority, having plurality of some fifteen hundred
over his highest opponent. So far as heard from,
he has gained over the previous votes, and plu-
rality elests at the second trial, there can be no
doubt he has been chosen Vermont, therefore,
sends an unbroken Wing delegation to the next
Congress.

Congress, Members of the State Legislature, &c.
took place in Massachusetts, yesterday The can
didates for Governor are, JOHN H. CLIFFORD,
Wing; HENRY W. Bishop, Dem. and HORACE

three parties in the field, the struggle in reality is
between the Wings and the combined forces of the
Democrats and Freesoilers, who, by a coalition
such as has existed for the last two years hope
maintain their ascendancy in the State Govern

with the contest, one of which is the Liquor

PRoGREss OF MArERIALIsM IN PHLosoPHY-
ANTIsELL's LECTURES ON GEoLoGY.-rhe leading
organs of all the "isms' Of the day-the Tribune
and the Itnes--publish notice, announcing the
commencement Of series Of lectures on geology
by Dr. Antisell, the first one to be given next
Wednesday evening, at Clinton Hail. These
lectures will number four in ALL and will develope
the new philosophy Of the creation, which has
grown to such lengths during the last thirty years
both in the Old and New Worlds, and which is so
well calculated to subvert all our old notions Of re-
ligion, springing from the Bible and Christianity.
These lectures will comprise the philosophical
description Of Tire condition of the GLOBE during
the primary and carly secondary periods, its vege-
ia,ion, and the formation of coal beds, volcanoes
and their forces, reptian and tertiary periods and
mcde IN agencies. These are curious, rem arkabe,
and wonderful Developments The enthusiasts
in geological science believe and declare that the
discoveries recently made in geology entirely
upset the history Of the creation fur aished to Us
in the Books of Moses, and lead the MIND conclu-
sively to mingled philosophy Of materialsm and
spIitualism, utterly hostile to Gil the principles
and views put forth by the Mosaic Christian dis
pensations. DR.. Antisell is, We believe, distin-
goished philosopher in tho new science, and hi, Ice
lures will undoubtedly create prodigious ssnsa-
ton among all the professors Of Christianity, as
represented in the religious press Of this city, well
as the advocates Of materiasm, Fourierism, so ,al-
lem, spirituaism, and al the other 'isms'' OF the
day, as represented by the Tribune and Times.
The differences drawn from the facts and pho-
sophy of these lectures will be leveled against the
Truth Of Christianity, as now taught and believed
in the hundred and fifty churches of this city, and
will create great curiosity, and mush excitement,
duting their progress. We shall report them with
fullress snd accuracy, beyond that Of any other
journal.
