L. Williams (of Ovosso)as ono of the Vice Presidenta, when it is a notorious faot that ho is in Europe,- but, being a spiritualist, perhaps he was present, tliough not in tho flesh." - The New Hampshire Domocratic papers are charging wholesale briberj' apon tho Republicana in the recent campaign ; and not only charging but proving.
