b Our annual state election has come an
y gone once more, with nothing TO mar th
], general peace and quiet of oLr people
o Full returns are not yet in, but from
+ what few we have we should judge tina
r the union party had carried the state
g which insures the defeat Of the democra
a cy, though it is still too early for larg'
, bets, and we earnestly advise our friend
3 not to venture their money just yet; j
Is wicked TO jeopardise Uncle Sans cur
rency by pitting it against Confederate
States notes, now held in such quantities
by the northern democracy and who are
now but too anxious to get rid of them,
so that their loyalty may appear less
questionable than now. The vote is one
fourth less throughout the state than in
former years.
Among the prominent men already re.
ported elected are Hon. Trenor w. Park
of Bennington, Hon. A. L. Miner of
Manchester, Hon. Merritt Clark of Pout-
ney, Hon. John W. Stewart of Middle
bury, Hon. d. f. Nicholson of Walling>
ford, Hon. James A. Pollard of Wind
sor, Hon. VIM. Jones of Dover, Gen.
Wells Of Waterbury, Major Rounds Of
Chester, Gen. Barstow of Shelburne,
Prout of Rutland, Colby of Hartland,
and Col. Waite of Brattleboro.
There are several towns which show a
clean bill of health, where not copper
head vote was cast. CaYendish is one of
them while there are many more which
record but two or three-just enough to
show that the devil "stiIl lives" Salem
shows every vote for the union, while
Holland sends rebel to the legislature
by nine majority. "Tbe Dutch" are at
last driven out of "Holland." Our coun-
ty ticket is all right, Of course. Except
in the town of Derby there were no bolt
ers to the regular ticket. eve make no
of The democrats) There one
Marshall Carpenter, who great while
ago used to be judge of probate in this
county, (and it will be great while be-
fore he is AGAIN. and who has got into
such strange habit of running for that
office "wher'no"-on "split tickets" when
no other is handy, that he stretched his
neck for the race under the mistaken nos
ton that Derby was the only town in the
county, and if that could only be carried
he would once more be
"Monarch of all he surveyed"
Judge Carpenter is a very fine man ; an
excellent probate Judge; chaste in his
speech; modest in demesnor; urbane
and polite to his associates; not over
bearing in argument as is the manner of
some very forgiving in spirit and hold
ing malice towards none. We know We
shall always love him. But he was not
elected.
We append the following which throws

Derby, Sept. 9th, 1865.
Mr.. Editor-The election in this coun-
ty, has | believe been very quiet, ex-
cepting in two or three towns.
In this town everything went by de-
fault excepting Probate Judge. 1t ap-
pears that Ex-Judge Carpenter was de-
termined to show the county that his
forte was at home, in the matter of that
office, and making silent, unexpected
effort to get his friends out on the first
Tuesday, and getting one of his dear boys
to mutilate the county ticket by remov>
ing the name Of Stewart, and inserting
Judge Carpenters, he obtained AZ votes,
while Stewart had but Sc. This grand
result was mainly owing to the aciiriiy
of his interesting and very promising son,
who resides with his dad, knows and ap
preciates his worth and eminent fitness
for any place in the gift of the people.
Sonny knows the service rendered the
American people by his dear papa a few
years since in putting turrinerS out Of
office and natives in.
Sonny knows the service rendered by
bis father in the late war, in keeping from
the Federal Government his ndtireS and
urging furriners into the service.
Sonny knows also, the eminent fitness
of the Ex Judge for the duties of Probate
Judge, at the time he was indicted into
that office.
Knowing all this land looking at the
porlly and very intelligent appearance of
his father, and comparing him with his
opponent,) how could be do otherwise
under his freeman's oath?
Stewart bore this opposition like a
martyr, even occasionally smiling while
the contest was raging. He looked rath.
