REPRESENTATIVE ELECTION.
The Republicans of Massachusetts, so far as we have heard, (excepting 6 or 8 towns) have been faithful to the cause of truth and rational liberty. Our friends in the country may rest assured that we do not give up the expectation of having a Republican majority in the next House of Representatives. If the Republican towns yet to be heard from, act with the same firmness as Wilbraham, and choose their full constitutional number, success is certain: Let every Republican Representative determine to be in Boston the day preceding the election, and all will yet be well, federal statements of net gain, &c. to the Contrary notwithstanding.
