Not come to vet.

The Democracy have not yet recovered
from the complete stun which they received
on the sth inst. They do not even pretend
to account for their defeat. Occasionally
it is true they very faintly whisper "fraud'',
but they do it in so vague a manner, that nc
one would suspect that they Rad any certain
idea Of the meaning of the word. No party
was ever quite SO badly beaten, and 1t is We
~ doubtful whether the leaders of this one
will ever pick up sufficient cou rage to try
the confess over again. Cotter of the Mil
ford Herald-pIucky, pugnacious Cotter-i:
the only man among them who has, up tc
this time, ventured to say Beaten but no
Conquered" and even he appeared to say 1
more from habit than from any certain knowi
edge as to what be was saying.

the whole system. Not only do they cure
the everyday complaints Of everybody, but
also formidable and dangerous Diseases

the Squire says-"They have no reason

Orange II J.

The home Of Mcclellan has given a
majority against him. The Democrats
in their rage at their defeat, spiked the
old cannon (that had been used by both
parties on the green through the can
vass) which was early discovered by the
Unionists, who sent some OF their black
smiths to drill it open again. Pending
this, the Unionists at their meeting, called
for "history of that cannon when it
was a.certained that it formerly belonged
to battery, and was in use in the war
of 1912 and just then bang went the old
gun electrifying the whole neighbor-
hood, between IL and II clock where
upon three cheers were given with will
for the old cannon, and resolutions un
unimously adopted consecrating it to
"Union and Liberty now and forever. =
This morning the early train of passen
gers crossed the river at the Hobokeu
ferry, the people amused themselves in
cheering Justify for Lincoln, and united
in singing America the "Star-span
gled Banner" and "Old John Brown
song, which latter they kept up all the
way into the slip on the New York side

IMPROVEMENTS.

Men are apt to denounce all projects pro-
posed,
Which they do not at once comprehend,
To discourage, instead of promoting a good,
Too often their efforts they lend.
In all ages improvement projectors have met
With dscouragements in every plan
For the comfort, domestic and public,
Of that sprig ofhumanity-man,
1t is very unsafe to affirm positively,
This thing or that cannot be done,
Notwithstanding prognostics of failure some
times,
Important achievements are won.
In matters of dress even some men believe
1t is best to adhere to sld styles,
Not SO however, that promulgator of FASH

has decied that Country storekeeper
who takes produce in trade for goods, is
