HENLeCK. Feb. q. 1868.

Dear freeman knowing no good rea>
son why the readers of the freeman should
not occasionally have the news from Old
Washington, particularly about election
times, / am induced to give them the re-
turns of the election on Friday last. The
Mongrelites had everything cut and dry for
a grand campaign, and to their great aston
lshment succeeded in being gloriously de-
feated. 1t was the most amusing election
that Washington has had for some time. In
order to make show at all the opposition
formed ticket of Democrats and Republi-
cans. 1t is but justice 10 the Democrats, or
most of them at least, to say that they knew
nothing of the arrangement, and that their
names were used without their consent.
They went on the method that desperate
cases require desperate remedies, and their
efforts in behalf of their ticket astonished
the ''oldest inhabitants, - but was of no
avail. The Democracy have not yet forgot
ten when their friends were arrested in the
dead hours of the night and sent off to ABB
olition bastiles for advocating Democratic
principles, nor do they fail to Der
when the "late lamented" had his soldiers
stationed in Democratic districts for the pur-
pose of running Democrats away from the
polls. These things didn't happen yester-
day to be forgotten to-day.
The number of votes polled were 167, and
the following named gentlemen were elected
to fill the various offices Justices or the
Peace--F. n. George and P McGough
Judge of Eiection-James Noon; Inspec-
tors-H. j. McCloskey and H. Kimmell
ASSESSOR. Detling Constable-William
Maxwell Auditory. II. McEnrue Su-
pervisors-Owen Sweeney and d. O'Skelly;
School Drectors-G. j. Schroaderer, VIM
Brown, N. Mooney, J. Hamilton and II.
Monahan Township Clerk-Jacob Bur
goon.
After this result. it is not likely that those
Democrats who knowingly made tools of
themselves by allowing their names to 90
on the opposition ticket, as we'll as those
who were inveigled into voting for it on the
plea that it was not q party ticket, will
commit another such blunder for it is to
be hoped, at least, that they will look to
their friends aud not their enemies, for sup
port hereafter.
knowing the persons elected to be sound
Democrats, honest, intelligent, upright and
modest gentlemen, ! have no hesitation in
saying that they will bear their honors with
the dignity becoming the stations to which
they have been chosen. WASHINGTON.
