II appears 10 be the settled policy of the
Loco focos to answer every question and
conclude every argument by asserting
that Clarified will be elected by three
thousand majority at least! "That's the old
story only the claim is not so heavy as
formerly. We all remember very well i,
that during the canvass for last September,
: that il was almost impossible for wing or
any person whom the locos suspected, was
not of their faith, to turn round, or pass
the streets, without being saluted by the
office holders and their scullions, with a
shower of such insulting, and futile assur-
ances. But the glorious result of the last
September campaign, gave ample evidence,
of the influence Of such bravado, over the
great mass of rejecting and intelligent vo-
tiers. In like manner, do we firmly believe,
will these dictatorial assertions, receive the
disapprobalion and hearty denial of the re-
publicans of Maine at the approaching con-
test. The people Of this State will not be
deceived into the support Of loco-focolsm
at this late hour, when its condemnation
has been pronounced almost everywhere,
from Georgia TO "Madawaska."
But why so industrious in spreading
these futile assertions? To answer the in
quiry plainly, and TO the point, simply, to
deceive the people, and to sustain as far as
possible, the sinking energies of their ad-
herents throughout the State. One main
point, is to keep together all the floating
straw-like material of which their clan is
made up, that is row in a measure driven
about by the adverse winds, and which,
they have fears, may float away from them,
beyond recovery. Again VINO is it makes
these staggering statements? The Office
holders to be sure--and the pensioned
presses, that have rich promises of Treas
ury pap, and now and then, Post Office
appointment, or something else. on condi-

Alas. is this their boosted democracy
And yet, shall not the majority be al
lowed to rule? So it would seem. AS
soon the majority became tired of "experl-
ments," "hum-bugs" and loco foco doc
trines, and put their veto upon such des-
truc,ive measures and principles, just SC
