.Messrs, Editor&-The great battle is fought,
the conservative Constellation lost, and the radi.
Gals have the State, The smoke of the contest
having cleared away, and the killed and wound
ed being disposed of, it may be interesting to re-
view the field, and notice some Of the local Skin
finishes, where the Colonies, Corporals, and non-
commissioned officers figured, not Immediately
under the Generals eve. One of these Skin.
snishes came off in QUO good town in this wise
Several weeks since, on examining the political
barometer, it was found that a new and unheard
of Coalition was to be formed, and two men,
called Colonies, one Wing and one Democrat
were to beour next representatives. Accordingly,
to secure this result both Of the gallant warriors
mounted that same old hobby that has been so
long and furiously ridden in Fiiehbuts-the new
County and the Hoosac Tunnei-and claimed by
themselves or friends, that thew were the men,
and only men for the crisis. II was by them
that one took himself off, and the other was left
of, from the Senatorial ticket. because of their
devotion TO these interests. This martyrdom
should have reused the righteous Indignation Of
our citizens, and induced them to elect these gen
tlemen out Of spite; but, strange say, it did not
and no one but the victims themselves seemed 10
be aware Of their consequence, or that they had
been sacrificed upon this altar.
Caucus night came. The Wing Colonel was
nominated, ofcourse, by his party and the Dem
ocrat Colonel by his. The usual arrangements
for coalition of the Democrats and Free Soters
were made, but the nominee of the Free Soil par
ty was Objectionable to the Democrats, and the
Colonel was equally Objectionable to the Free
Soilers. The latter party proposed 10 drop both
candidates, and select others, but not so the
Democrats. The Colonel must not be dropped,
for this would prevent the Wing coalition,
cordlng tcithe secret programme. Thus, eachlpary
went into the contest, on Monday, with their
own candidates. During the day, however, the
Democratic Colone's name was found printed on
a ticket with Wing, and freely circulated by one
Of the Reviler's men. The result was no election.
Caucusses of all parties were held IN the evening,
when the coalition ofihe Wings and Democrats
was formed, by the former nominating, lorm-
ally, in well lighted room, Col. lvers Phillips,
Democrat, or said TO be-and Col. Alvah Crock
er, Wing, as candidates TO be supported by the
Wing party. Think of that and then remember
that the SIM rose the next morning, as usual, and
shone directly into the office of the ReuiIer!!
The Democrats and Free Sellers nominated ~
Wood, and L. R. Ware, Esqs., in opposition to
the Wing coalition. The consequence was,
disastrous defeat of the Wing party with both
their Colonies. Thus ended the battle; and now
the question, in Fitchburg, is, ''did the WhigS
form coalition, or did Col. Phillips change
to Wing, sometime between Monday night and
Tuesday morning?" Who can answer? And
when that question is answered, will somebody
tell to what party the Colonel now belongs!
CONSERVATIVE.
