[4]"O, SHAME! Triumph of Apostacy and Delusion!!! In this federal town of New-Haven, where four fifths of the FREE-men are the friends of order and 'steady habits,' prejudice, apostacy and fanatacism are triumphant! THe result of the Election this day furnishes the fullest evidence that moral depravity and personal debasement form no barrier to political delusion and sectarian prejudice. - O, SHAME!"
