THE RESULT IN BRADFORD.

A reference to the official table of votes
polcd at ;he late election will show that the
poll has been very light one, as under the
circumstances, it could hardly have been other
wise There seemed to be a feeling prevalent,
which made it impossible to rally the people
to the polls A general opinion prevailed,
that our State Ticket would be successful bv
large majority, while until within II few days
of the election, the miserable and imbecilc
scheme to defeat our County Ticket had not
developed itself There is no more difficult
feeling to overcome than that of safety,
and that our voters nduIgcd in this feeling
pretty literally is proven by the light vote
As it is, however, there are many gratifying
features in the result Il has fully established
the homogencousncSS and stability of the Re
publican party of Bradford Established upon
the rock of Principles, it bids defiance alike to
attacks from without or treason within. Its
members have too high and sensible an idea
of the usefulness Of the organization to permit
it to be broken down to crafty imaginary
grievances, or because nominations may be
made which are contrary to the judgment of
a portion of the party The members of our
organization have rallied to the support of our
County Ticket in sufficient numbers to prove
that diSorganization will meet with no success
so long as principles remain to he advanced
which can only be effectively maintained by
means of our organization. We have no com
plants to make Of the few Republicans who
saw fit to strike portion of our County Tick
ct, for we have no doubt, in the main they
were actuatcd by honest motives, and we have
no question when time shall show them their
prcjudiccs are without foundation, they will be
ready to acknowledge it.

ARRIvAL OF STEAM CANAL BOAT FROM BUF-
FALo.-rhe steam canal boat Charles Wack,
the first Of her class which has made the trip
through to New York, arrived at pier No. 6
East river on Saturday. having made the pas
sage in fourteen days She left Buffalo on the
25th nit, with 1000 bushels Of corn, weighing
I34 tons, and had in tow as far as West Troy
the VIM Crozier, with 4S9 barrels Of -four,
1871 bushels of wheat on bord, together with
some castings and machinery, making the az
gregate tonnage of both boats 2T7 tons The
average rate of speed of the Wack on the
canal was about two miles an hour sometimes
running thrce-and on the Hudson, without
the tow but with strong head wind, four
miles an hour. She consumed while on the
canal about two tons of coal in the twcnt y-four
hours On the whole she made far better
time that could have been done hy horse power
and at less expense than it would cost for one
canal boat alone on the old principle The
Charles Wack was one of the boats that ac-
coInpanied the experimental trip with Gov
King aud the State Officers a few months ago
from Rochester to Buffalo. Her arrival IN
New York is quite an event in steam canal

that the principal fault ifiAihe cable is near
