Ontario County -- The board of Supervisors stands -- Whig 10, Loco 5. Party lines were not so distinctly drawn as usual. In some towns, the license question was the turning point. This was particularly the case in this town (Seneca), where by virtue of an arrangement made at a meeting of the Washingtonians, the name of the Whig Justice (though a strict temperance man) was dropped to secure unity of action in that society. The small talk in the Geneva Advertiser, about a locofoco majority in the town of Seneca, is the merest slang, and is so regarded by the intelligent of that party.
Whig Supervisors are elected in the towns of West Bloomfield, East Bloomfield, Victor, Farmington, Richmond, Canandaigua, Hopewell, Seneca, South Bristol, and Gorham. Locofocos in North Bristol, Naples, Canadice and Phelps. Anti-Cold Water in Manchester.
