in the Empire State and its issue greatly
depends whether are to be blest or cursed for the
next Presidential term. If Loco Focoism resume it's
former perncious sway, again will our countries ener

from the uprising hand. But we have better hopes
and brighter prospects. Orr friends are up, and
buckle onMeir armor." From Ontario to the Atlantic,
from Vermont to Jersey, from the interior all the con-

The Wings nre full of ardour; their energies are bra

restore heir mischief working sway, one can ration
ally doubt; but they clearly exhibited the cloven
hoof in the Spring elections, hope our vigiant fellow
ahoers in the good will look well to the footing
of their foes. they but succeed in keeping away
all Illegal voters there is fear of the result and their
opponents exposed them their ambush last time,
TO be hoped they will not again be taken by surprise
Fearful will be the srrugg and great the honor should
victory the Wings. On side are arraved the

With tho mantle of his predecessor on him, Van
Buren, called ny his parasites, and looked on
by their dcuded followers as .Tasictdn. Since
he assumed the magic chair his own imbecilitv,
or the e,gerncss Of his followers to make all bow
down to him, hns enabled the more calm observers
to strip the Mag clans cloak away, and show the
merest mountebank beneath. That he ia a mere
