The result of the election in this county as
will he seen from our table; complete and accu-
rate, is very comforting and satisfactory
With but three exceptions, every town has cast
a full vote and given an increased majority
bver Hayes of last year. The exceptions are
too insignificant for consideration; and; we pre-
sumo, as in the case of our sturdy little neigh
Dor, Plymouth, these exceptions were not the
resultof an increased democratic vote, but from
sickness and absence of Republicans. $50 IN
crease in the county, shows very well, and bids
fair for a still more wholesome and effectuai

TrE MEETING AT CLARENDoN HALL on Fri-
day evening last, to listen to Messrs. WADE
and WoopwoRTH was full and enthusi-
astic one. Mr. Wade took the hoor nrst
and gave very well digested and able
speech, though much interrupted. tie gave
way when it became known that the Hon. E.
NJ STANTON, late Secretary of War, was pre-
sent, and would address the meeting. A gen
eral eacerness was manifested by our citizens
to see and hear the man who had signalized
himself by the energy, intelligence, and un-
swerving and rigid patriotism with which the
affairs of that department were managed and
directed; the man who stood faithful among
the faithless, and upon whom the blandlsh-
ments of power had no influence. As he came
upon the stand in feeble health and weakness
leaning upon the arm of the friend, whose guest
he was, the feelings of the people sought eA-
preston, and the greeting was earnest lie
alluded to the steady fidelity OF the reserve 10
right and patriotism, TO the trials, ana sohcl'uue
the dread that brooded over the country DUR
ire the march to the sea, and the promptness
and earnestness with which every available
man was brought into the service to guard the
region exposed by that movement, drawing a
lesson from the vigilance there exercised to
leave nothing exposed if the interest can be
made secure by a similar vigilance in bringing
every man to the work of doing his whole du-
ty at the ballot box His words fell upon the
ears as well as the hearts of the hearers, with
reverent attention and respect. He spoke for
some ten or fifteen minutes and a similar round
of applause to that which greeted him follow
ed his closing words. Senator Woodwork
then began set speech in fine oratorial style
and delivered an address that was characterised
by great clearness and perspicuity, and many
forcible and happy points.
The Boys in Blue from Saybrook appeared
in force with band of music and lamps trimm-
ed and burning We understand they march
