ELECTED TO THE CONTENTION!
We have the qualification to announce TO our read
ers, that the election of yesterday has resulted in
glorious victory of the friends of Constitutional
form-and in the utter and unexampied defeat Of the
Wing party. Our returns do not cover the whole
Commonwealth but they are sufficient to show that
the reformers have sweptthe State like whirlwind.
We doubt if the Wings have chosen one hundred
delegates to the Convention. In word, they are

This most consoling popular verdict against the
Tories of this State, is douhly refreshing at this
time, from the recent revolutionary anarchy at the
State House-sometmes dignifed by the name OF
Wing administration Ii is gratifying to have the
fundamental question of Reformed Constitution de-
cided by tribunal from which there is no appeal.
But it affords US great pleasure to that the peC
pie OF Massachusetts are awake to the recent Wing
outrages on public liberty, and have consigned their
authors to the fate they deserved.
For more than Two years, the Wing party have re-
solved to kill the Constitutional Convention. No
stone has been left unturned effect result which
they deemed, and think justly deemed, essential
TO their existence. Defeated at every point-re-
pulsed in every atiack-and smaring in every fibre,
from the lash Of popular scorn, they were at last
driven to frenzy; and their action in the present
Leg islature has been the compound, pretty equal
proportions, Of madness and idocy, Rolling up
their eyes in holy horror the sacriege of their OPP
ponents, in touching the Constituton-and full of
pretended alteration of law and orderthey went in-
to the State House and deliberately trampled under
foot all law, all order, all consttulons-and dared
to call on the people to atfy these Jacobnica abom.

ship with tremendous alacriiy; and Edward Everett
and R. C. Winthrop managed to leave the old hulk
yesterday morning, when her decks were just level
with the water.
1t adds to the pleasure of this great victory that
among the majority which the Coalition has obtain
ed in the Convention, are many of the most dstin'
guished members cf the two Democratic parties, to
whom the high and unprecedented compliment has
been passed Of electing them from towns in which
they do not reside. Among these announce with
satisfaction that Henry Wilson has been elected not
only by his town of Natick, but by the town of
Berlin. Whiting Griswold, Of Greenfield is elected
by the Town of Erying. d. w. Alvord, also of
Greenfield, and one of the abIest and sagacous
men in the ranks of the Free Democracy, is elected
by the town Of Montague. Arson Burlngame, too,
is elected from Northboro'.
Benjamin F Hallett, Of Boston, is elected by the
town of Gill. Richard H Dana, Jr, is elected by
the town Of Manchester, And TO crown all. the

We earnestly hope to hear that Hon Charles

We regret that Governor Boutwell, is defeated in

whole thing may be summed up in one word, VIC
