This action is all the more noteworthy, since the society has supplied the pulpit during the absence of their pastor, at the rate of nine hundred dollars per annum.

MARYLAND ELECTION. oN.-The latest footing up on the Constitution vote is as follows: For the Constitution, ll,el7 against the Constitution, l2,e29.

LITcHTIELD. The advertised mass neetlng Ot the little mackerels of Litchfeld County was held in town yesterday. Great preparations were made for large gathering The faithful in all the towns about were drum mmcd up to send out their recruits 10 swell the throng, and and we supposed from the accounts we heard that there would be at least a respectable num- Der present. But it was very small school of fish Many were called, but few chose to come. abroad and giving them the generous average of throe mon each, there may have been six or eight hundred people. not ouer fDs Hundred of whom listened to the speeches or stood about the stand The rest were scattered about the grog shops, or ge tting up little private squab- bes of theic own on the street corners, and hurrahing for s' Aicn'lelI and Pel'ton.

During his speech, one or two street fights occurred among the faithful, which drew largely from his not very ap2recla' tive audience Then 10 lowed Perrin, E. 0, from Tennessee @ who talked about '' our dear Southern brethren" aid the crowd cheered, After him came Eaton, 6 sweet William, who discoursed blandly about taxes, constitutions rights, peace and war, in his own inimiiable style.
 This was all, three out of the eleven speak CTS advertised. BRt the crowd got tired out long before these had finished their orations, and when Eaton finally simmered down, the few that were left moved mournfully away. There was no excitement, little enthusiasm and less cheering. 1.-the -copperheads are satisfied with their days en tertainmenr and labor.

Several men ere allowed to vote who had never been made electors of the State, One man, at least, was rmitted 10 vote who had, within two months moved from aR adjoining town into Litchfeld and had not, under any, provision of law aainesa residence there.

 True, every word of it; and it was precisely bv the same means that MT. Wright gained bis SC It by thres majority last spring, and re- tairei it by means of MT, Charles Ives of East Haven. We doubt if there be more thoroughly unprincipled board in the State, and we shall not be greatly surprised if, in spiteof the clear Union majority of legal vo- ters in the town, not to speak of the scores of soldiers. who will offer their votes here, the - town will be nominally carried in November for the Jeff Davis ticket. But we shall do s whas we can to prevent it, though the major Ay n the town election is precisely what the sssppsrheads boast their board is worth to then.

Of course Mcclellan was nominated for no other reason than because he was failure by convention of political failures. and upon q platform made up of nothing but failure. It is a remarkable truth that if he he had sue ceeded as a soldier, he would no more have been nominated than Grant would have been, or Sherman. or Sheriden; consequently. every ,ictorv in the field is defeat of the Demo cratic candidates. The Mayor of New York vatoed a resolution to Illuminate in honor of Union victories, for the express reason that these trumphs were won over the Democratic nary. The only way by which the Democrat ic marty can consistently celebrate it's hero IS by getting defeated at the polls. General Nc GIellan will assist them.
