The Election.

The Election.
The election is over The regula
ticket has lriumphed over the meanes
and most perfdious combination eve
known Ia the annals of party warfare -
The split ticket Is dead aud buried
Those VINO got 1t up, worked for It, rod
for II, and lied for il, to wheedle innocen
voters into The support Of their ticket
are laid out stark and stiff upon the rail
road track, with the name of peridiou
traitor stamped upon each brow. Their
has never been an election since we hav,
been in the county where such an i'm
mense amount Of work has been done t
defeat the regular ticket as there Ia!
been during this canvass and never has
n combination met with a more humilia
ting defeat. They brought all things to
bear that they thought would accomplish
their purposes, no matter how base. But
they have failed, aud why? Because
,ne men who engineered the thing are
known to be unprnciped demagogues,
who would stoop to any degree Of mean
ness TO accomplish their objects. They
mol ouly went from the convention where
they had assisted TO nominate ticagt,
aud against which they raised not a word
OF objection in the convention, and plot
ted to overthrow their own work, but
they were traitors 10 their own nomina-
tons for the split! They were guilty Of
double treachery. They put the name
of Mr.. WIN. j. Hastings upon the split
for side judgr, because they hoped to in
duce respectable people in Craftsbury to
vote il, and thus secure the town by a
heavy majority for the man they wished
to elect They still issued another split
with the name OF Mr.. Albee IN the stead
Of Mr.. Hastings, and which was design.
cd for the latitude OF Holland, Morgan,
and Salem. Treachery everywhere But
they mistook their man when they sup
posed Mr.. Hastings would consent to be-
made q cats-paw, to further their design,
which was to induce Craftsbury to vote
for NJ Carpenter. As will be seen by
his letter to US in another place, he re-
fused to stand, but went in heart and
hand for the regular ticket, and the con-
sequence was that Craftsbury gave us a
majority Of SO on Judge Of Probate,
where they confidently calculated on
one hundred majority for them. They
made the railroad the issue, and we took
it up. We have met the enemy, and .
they are ours" (what a lot Of worthless
property } We hope they are satisfied !
with the result; we certainly are. And
the mex, time they wish TO run an anti
railroad ricket, let them "look out for the
engine when the bell rings"
The straight ticket is elected by at
least four hundred majority.
HoNoRABLE.-We publish the follow
ing letter from Mr.. Hastings, to set him
RICH; before the people of the County
The copper heads who run the split
ting machine" caught Tartar" when
they bit upon Mr.. Hastings as one of
their cudgels with which to fail the regu
lar ticket. He did ia excellent service
in Craftsbury, and he has the respect OF
every honorable man ia the county.
Mr.. EARL learn at this late date,
hat there is a spit ticket circulating in
he county, for county officers. and that
ny name is on said ticket for side Judge.
My name is thus used without my knowl-
edge or consent. | shall vote the regu
ar county ticket, and request my friends
N the county to do the same. This is
not the time tor split tickets aud disunion.
Yours, &c,
w. j. HASTINGS.
