FRIDAY MORNING. NOV. 6. 1857.
Republican Triumph.
n. ?. Banks elected Governor Of Aa,sashu,
RttS.

"Banks has swept the State" Such
was the electrifying dispatch that came,
with the lightning'ss speed, over the wires
on Tuesday evening from Boston, to re-
publicans in various parts Of our State,
rejoicing their hearts, and giving the as
surance that Massachusetts, as in the DAYS
Of the revolution, stood by the principles
Of freedom and constitutional liberty
" Banks has swept tho State" At the
moment we are writing, VIC only know
this. How complete is the republican
victory, we shall know in good time here
after. We now know that one of the rep
rcscntativc men Of the republican party,
man who has been tried and not found
wanting, statesman Of ability and power,
has triumphcd and that his triumph, con-
sidering the circumstances under which
it was achieved, is another, and telling
blow in favor Of free systems Of labor, and
the principles sought to be established by
the men Of the revolution,
In electing Mr.. Banks thoir Governor,
the people Of Massachusetts, have not been
unmindful that the contest was, in many
respects, a peculiar one, that however
much their local interests would DO pro-
noted by Kidding themselves Of the mean
est kind Of administration Of their State
affairs, and placing in the executive chair,
an able and upright man, there waa a
widcrimportaucc attached to the election,
growing out Of the position Mr.. B. has
occupied in the republican party, and the
circumstances ofthe contest, Mr., B, was
nominated In View Of his position on great
national questions, the contest, 50 far as
he was concerned, was carried on with re-
spcct to three questions, and his triumph
is the triumph not Of the republicans Of
Massachusetts, alone, but also Of the ma
ton. 1t is this fact that gives the result
a nationwide Importance, and which
makes the success Of Mr.. d. 80 satisfactory
to the republicans in other States.
The speeches Of Mr.. Banks, during the
canvass, have been models Of propriety,
dignity and force Of argument, cliciting
general admiration. We felt confident
that the intelligence Of Massachusetts,,
would not turn aside from man Of tried
ability and cling longer to the fry of the
small politicians who have by some
strange combination of circumstances,
ruled for several years past in their State
Governments. Satisfactory as is the cleo.
ton Of Mr.. B, on account Of is national
aspects, and tho good influences II will
have in consolidating the Free labor par
ty and encouraging the friends. of freedom,
it is also very gratifying, showing rs it
does, that small cunning and political
huckstryis at a discount in Massachusetts,,
and that her PeoPlc,when they fairly un.
dcrstand matters, have the good sense to
rcpudiatc men who appear to think that
politics is a trade in which success was
only attainable by caucus trickery and
the liberal use Of the largest stocks OF as
surance and mendacity.

BAPTISM OF ONE HUNDRED MoRMoNs "A sin.
guar, and it may be added a most disgraceful
scene, took place on recent Thursday evening at
Chesterfield On the outskirts of the town runs q
narrow stream among the fields, called the river
Rother, over which, on the Hasan road, is bridge
called Stoney Bridge About ore hundred or one
hundred and fifty persons, chiefly women, are
scattered on the verge of the water, waiting for
the appearance of the deluded fanatics who are to
be dipped" They call to each other from oppo.
site Sides and crack jokes of a most indecent and
shameless character 1t is past eight o'clock and
quite dark the moon being obscured and not sin.
Gle star out to shed even glimmer of light Two
or three candles are brought down to the water
and stuck in the mud by the SIDE and presently a
coarse featured man descends into the middle of
the stream and takes up his position under the
arch of the bridge. This is the priest, who is to
perform the ceremony. He has nothing on but a
pair of trowsers, tucked up at the knee and a
waistcoat with sleeves. He intimates to his at-
tendants that he is ready, and in few minutes
emerge from q house two or three hundred yards
of, men (some half and others entirely naked
and they walk over the ground, which is strewed
with pieces of broken bottles, bricks and tiles to
the water
They are compelled to pass through the women
who line the banks, and the remarks which ensue
are revelting and indicate beyond description
One by one they are received by the priest. who
amid shouts of laughter, dips each individual pro
nounciDg over them the formula: l, being com
missioned by Jesus Christ, baptise thee for the
remission of thy sins, in the name of the Father
the Son, and the Holy Ghost" AS be utters these
words he lays them beneath water and individual
who is being baptised being in every case blinded
by the water, there is a struggle to rise, and on
several occasions both priest and baptized rolled
over together in the stream. As NAV be imagined
this affords immense amusement to the NOR who
testify their appreciation by clapping of hands.
