Tho result is very encouraging to the opponents of the Black Crook Coiistittition, the returns from the six largest wards in tihe city showing a registration of only 925 Black Crooks agaimst 3308 whitus ! That looks woll, and the ''trooly loil" or tooly lural folks may begin to mako up their minds that the Conservatives in this city are a very contumacious set. of peopl(, and intend to assert their righIs at thle comilig elections. The icenies at the difl'rent, registra. tion ofilees have been very ludicrous as well as serioits.

Such cases were of hourly occurrence. A rrests made prove'l collusion and initet to de. ceive on the part of those in the llack Crook inte:est. But, they have been successfully combatted oi their owi dunghill. They will struggle boldly at the polls, but tho Democracy have a ehance yet, if they properly improve their tiim-.e and opportu:iity, and it is cont'idintly believed that tho odious tyranmical and damnable coistitution can and will he def eated.
