The Election in Berkeley

The election passed off i'll this
county without any marked disorder
of a violent nature. The vote in Mar
tinsburg, as will be seen from the
tabular statement elsewhere, was
very large, and during the entire
day the pavement around the Court
House was thronged by people of all
parties, working for their respective
candidates. Discussion and repartee
occurred often, and sometimes very
animated and warm, but we believe
that as a rule sober judgment con-
trolled the passions, and all passed
off merry as marriage bell.
