SPIRIT OF THE AGE.

THURSDAY, SEPT. IS. 1855.
The Election,

As we stated in our extra" Of last week,
Royce is reelected Governor by some 10000
maiority-perhOps little less figure, and
his associates, Fletcher and Bates, by some
thing over, as they were run upon some other
tickets besides the regular fusion" Fletcher
was, however, considerably scratched " in
various places where he was best known
In this town his name was erased from SO
Royce tickets, and in his own town, Caven-
dish, he was cut down about fifty by his APP
precia,ing townsmen.
The Senate, for aught we know to the
contrary, will be entirely fusion and know
nothing, and no democrat will be disgraced
by being presided over by Ryland Fletcher.
The House will contain about the usual num-
Der of democrats, who will keep good watch
over Hindooism, and oppose and expose
fusion iniquities. To the House are elected
some strong men, among whom are Thomas
Bartlett, jr,, of Lyndon, Geo. w. Grandy, of
Vergennes, Charles K. Field, Of Newiane,
and that sterling old democrat, Farmer
Brigham. of Fairfield Mr.. Grandy will,
Of course, again ill the Speakers chair, for
he has no superior as presiding officer, and
his political stripe can, no doubt. be found in
the backs of the majority.
As to the liquor law hobby, the nucleus
of which is the Standard Office, and the oracle
of which, in the legislature, will be Thomas
E. Powers-there is not so far as we are
acquainted, the least shadow of chance
to re-enact the wishes of the fanatics, Many
members who are set down in the list as
Temperance, we know to be decidedly
opposed to changing the present law, and
we do not believe over three votes can be
carried from this County for the repeal Of
the "Miner amendments. We think in this
controversy, the whole end and aim Of DR..
Powers mission to Montpelier, this fall, the
rum champion is doomed to cheat his head
against rock"
The State vote is yet incomplete, and we
defer publishing it by counties till it is re-
ceived entire, the general result being all
that the reader will feel any particular inter-
est in We give Windsor County complete,
with the politics ofthe members, placing under
the general head of ''fusion" such as have
no other distinctive mime.

900 bushels, which exceeds by 10, OOo bush
els the highest estimates made till within week
or two past. To show the character OF some
of the reports we receive, we give an example
or two.
A correspondent from middle Tennessee
writes that all through that section the wheat
crop is five time as great as ever before, and is
a drug at 80 cents per busheI. Corn, he says
cannot be contracted al 25cents busheI, where
three months ago it went quick at dollar
Till recently, the highest figure (Cist's) set
down against Wisconsin was II 100000 bush
els of wheat, but an enthusiastic editor Of a
journal in that State, says, Call upon Wiscon-
sin for 10000, 900 bushels, and she will honor
the draft"
These reports must, of course, be received
with due allowance, yet to such concurrence
of them from all parts of the country, we must
attach considerable degree of Importance
Our readers receive from week to week what
are our views Of the present and prospective
condition of the crop, and they must form their
own opinions as to the time and price at which
they will part with their hard-earned stores Of
grain.

How 1t Operates,

In looking over the returns from this
County we find one thing, in particular,
worthy of note. In the old democratic towns
Of Barnard and Bridgewater, the democrats
took decided stand against know-nothing-
ism, and fought the Hindoos at every corner
They have pursued this course with them
throughou the entire campaign. The result
is, in the former where there was no choice
Of Representative last year, good, thorough
going democrat is elected by 81 majority,
and in the latter democrat is elected by an
increased majority over last year In the
former, also, Clark's vote is increased six,
and in the latter two. This shows what a
direct fight will do--and is n noble example
for some other towns. In Barnard several
old wings were found confronting the mid
night marauders, on election day, and as the
animals are said to be very sick since the
result, it is suggested they would do well to
apply immediately to Dir, Aver, for he helped
TO gire 'em fits on Tuesday, and must know
how to cure them, as we believe the doctor
who started in life n wing, has proved himself
"death on fits" Of this description. The
democracy of Barnard and Bridgewater are
deserving much praise for the manner in which
they routed Hindooism.
In Hartford, we regret to say, different
policy has been pursued by some of our
democratic friends, and different result is
the consequence.
In this town, the iederais,s and their
equivalents have always held sway, but for
the last few years the democracy have been
gaining ground. Last year Clark received
1877 votes, a handsome increase of democratic
votes over any former year But this pros
perity was not sufficient, and several of our
very well-meaning democrats there thought

WHAT THE RUSSIANS SAY.-The offca
organ al ST, Petersburgh expresses the opinion
that the allies, by their inactivity and want
of enterprise, have allowed the opportunity
to slip by when SebastopoI nigh, have been
taken 1t now says the city is lmPregnable;
that it can replace one hundred dIsmounted
guns in night, or can exchange so 600
ftigucd troops against $4,000 fresh troops;
that the allies cannot, with double the force
they can dispose Of, cut off the communion
ton by Perekop; that the Russian army,
fighting for its country and its sovereign, is
animated BY better spirit than is the heter-
ogeneous mass Of French, English, Turks,
Egyptians, and Sardnians, contendiug for
nm abstract idea and confused Interpretation
Of the duties Of civilization. There Is some
force in these remarks, and the allies them
selves seem to be impressed with the same
idea, Tor the preparation of delonces they
are making at Kamiesch looks very like a
protection ia the event Of being compelled to
re-embark.

SOMETHING IN "TANGlBLE FoRM."-
Various persons have lately been bringing
to the Farmer office, for exhibition, stall
corn stalks, and some very asprsing speci-
mems have been found. But Farmer Gushing
of Sunny Side," thinks there has been
sufficient talk about Stalks, and brings forward
three, of much less pretcnsion as to height,
but containing, in all, seven ears of as per-
feet corn as ever grew. They are of the
"tweve-rowed" kind, perfectly hard, yellow
and beautiful, filled completely over the end
of the cob, and there would have been more
corn if the cob had been longer We are
assured this is only fair specimen of quite
a large field, but it beats all in the corn line
we have ever seen. Such "corn" will always
be "ocknowledged," even at the AGE office,
and specimens are respectfully solicited from
every farmer in Woodstock, not asking the
donors to be particular as to the number Of
ears: the large quantities being the most
acceptable, especially if it is not intended to
take them away.

falling off this year of the Royce vote Oil:
Clark $40
After all the buster about Nebraska, and the
intrigues of Hindooism, we think the delnoc-
racy have come out Of the contest remarkably
well and are IN good condition to renew the
fight, for another year.

Election Fraud In Cavendish-COntest
ed Seat.

A most singular case of political corrup-
ton and fraud is reported as having transpir-
ed in the town of Cavendish at the recent
election, relative to the choice Of town rep
resentative. The facts, which we have up
on the best authority, are us follows:-
On the first ballot for representative, the
vote was announced, Dean SO, Balcom So
Harlow 81. There being no choice Sec
ond ballot was called for, and after repeated
notices in the usual manner by the constable,
the "box was turned" the vote counted and
the following was the republican lO7, Bal
com &c. Harlow 2; making majority of
6 for Dean. After the result of this vote
was known, but before it had been announc-
ed, there was "noise and confusion" and
the voice of his semi-Excellency, Ryland
Fletcher was heard proclaiming that there
we're more votes to be offered for representa-
tive and demanded that they should be re-
ceived by the Constable. In the mean time
a vote had already been offered for Mr..
Dean and refused as it should have been.
Ryland strenuously persisted that the addi-
tonal votes should be received, and forget
ting his official dignity bawled very much af-
ter the manner Of bullying, electioning
demagogue, as he is. The officer, ii seems,
doubted the propriety of re-opening the box,
but Fletcher assembled the town authority
decentralization. and extorted from them
an "order" that the box be re-opened and
remain open for ten minutes. Had the Off
Ger fully unders stood his duty he would have
had the whole town authority, Ryland IN
cluded, arrested for riot, but he reluctantly
yielded to the supererogaion Of the tools o.
Fletcher, and additional votes were received
till it was ascertained that Balloon could be
declared elected by one majority; three per,
sons voting t,cice each. These we believe
to be the facts in the case. Mr.. Dean, we
understand, has given notice that he shall
contest the seat OF Mr.. Balloon. Mr.. b
is spoken of as an honorable, high minded
gentleman, and has probably taken no par
in placing himself in the position he occu
pies. We do not understand as there is an,
difference in the politics Of the two contest
ants, and such being the case the merits Q
the controversy need not be overruled b.
prejudice. The proceeding demonstrate
fully what we have often before told GU
readers, that there is not another man in tn
State Of Vermont who will resort to so low
and debasing a political trick to accomplish
his ends, as Ryland Fletcher, the Lieut. Gov
ernor Of the "fusionists.
