Thn pecIire of GnraaerI..n.

Not only in old Worcester county. but through
out the entire country portions of the State, the
results Of the late election indicate the sure de-
slime Of that spirited faction which has prey
ed upon the vitals of the Commonwealth for two
years past From the hills of old Berkshire.
where that special embodiment Of Gsrdnerism,
Rarsuu frafton, fell under the crushing weight of
twenty six hundred Republican plurality over
him, to the sands of Cape Cod, the returns show
that, wherever the contest was made at the polls
between the myrmidons of his Excelleuey and
the Republican or Peoples party, the latter have
signally triumphed. Not to mention our own
great county, where hot battle was waged, and
where the Republicans came off victorious by an
average majority of nearly FIVE thousand for eve
~ public officer, Notwithstanding the Gardiner
party arrayed itself for the occasion under the
false plumes of the Fremont Union " party in
the eleventh Congressional District, in Barn
static county, and wherever else the straight
Republicans encountered hand tn-hand fight
with the Americans, signal victory to our
standard has been the result. And it may be as
serted, with undoubted confidence, that had
straight ticket been everywhere nominated, out
Of Boston, the same utter rout and discontinue
would have attended the efforts of the Gardner
faction to contend with the superior numbers and
strength Of the Peoples party.
In Bristol county, where union was partially
effected upon senators, but not upon county Off
GERS, the straight Republican ticket was elected
by triumphant majority.
In Barnstabe county, where no union
made, the Republicans elected their entire ticket
for senator's and county officers, by a9ote of two
70 one over the Americans, Notwithstanding the
act that Gar1ner's vote in that county, last year,
was more than tsOo to one greater than Rock
wells 1t has been reported that the American
ticket was chosen, but that is mistake. This
will make the Senate stand, 26 Republican to IA
American, nearly two to one-a Republican ma
jority of IL! If His Excellency can ride over
that in any Of his attempted schemes of self ag-
grandizement or partizan arrangements, shall
be most sadly mistaken.
In Lynn aud Taunton. as has been before stat
ed, where the Ga dnerites, pulled up with a vain
glorious estimate of their own strength, declined
going into coalition on equal terms, with the
Republicans for the election of Representatives
to the General Court; the latter ruA straight
ticket, and put it through by triumphant MAORI
ties, and this in face of the fact, that last
year, the vote of Taunton stood, for GaIdner,
1865, for Rockwell 2ll Lynn, which last year
gave ssl for Gardner, to 762 for Rockwell, now

Itis rot exaggerstiug, but in perfect accord
ance with all tae results to say, that had sep rate
cean tickets been run in all other sections Of the
State, out of Boston, for Senators, Representa-
tives, and ulty officers, besides straight Re-
publican ticket Tor State officers we should have
Judging by the he Result l wherever the run
was made, no one can doubt this. Had the

and Gov. Gardeners reign would have come o
final close by the first of January prorimo AS i
now is, The political decease Of HIS Excellency,
is merely out Of special grace, by the dubious
coensels of those supposed to be " wise and emf
nent counselers'' in ranks, postponed one
year, when, with proper efforts, the last remain
of Gardnerism, and every corruption appertan-
ing thereto, will be wiped out, slick and clean,
from the records of the Commonwealth For
this glorious end, all good men will labor and
pray, and it will surely come about
