CORRECTION. - We inadvertently
put Adams down tho other day in
the list Of townships. wherein the
Coops., had ginexnlicahlr Increased
fhelr n,ajorities. This is doing great
Injustice to the gallant republicans Of
that township. The copps., cast 160
votes votes there lsst year, and the
ccpublidans so, making 80 copp.,
maj. This year the Copps., gave 165
votes and the republicans IS. making
just the same 80 majority this year
as last, and this after four of our men
for mcrcenary and most unjnstifablc
reasons went over to tho enemy
We take great pleasure in making
this correction, as we regard tho re-
suit their emitting them to more
credit under all the ii, cnmstances
than any other township in tho coun-
ty. The horc Of tho corps., that
Capt. Swiggctte and his friends would
cut tho ticket on account of his defcat
in our convention has been most sig
sslly disappointed. Capt. Swiggctte
done his whole duty in tho front, and
votes as he, fought.
