In this County the result of the elcc tion was about the same as lost Spring,tht board of Supervisors standing ten Whigs to ten Democrats. We have scarcelj any returns of the Liberty vote. In Ann Arbor, 640 votes were polled, ol which about 95 were given ior the Liberty ticket. Last spring the vote was about 61. The canvass was quite spirited. - The Whig majority on Supervisor was 14. The Whigs turned out in long procession, headed by a band of music, witli two banners on which were inscribed, "Ann Ardor Clay Club," and "Cleár the Track for Old Kentucky." But though they thus identified the town election with the success of Mr. Clay, some of them had the impudence to ask Liberty men to vote the Whig ticket because this was only a oeaelection,in which par ty lines need not be strictly drawn. - The Liberty vote in Manchester was 12, in Webster 14, in Pittsfield 18. In Scio it was 30, in 207, being a small advance on the last year. Scio will give 50 votes for Liberty next fall without fail, sb we are assured. In Livonia a part of the Liberty ticket was elected. In Pontiac 39 Liberty votes were cast. One Liberty Supervisor elected in Calhoun County. One Liberty Justicein Sylvan, where the Whigs and Abolitionists combined.
