Among lhe various modes IN which we
have observed The operation of this new order
from Washington, we shall, at present, notice
but one, which the locoiocos have got up and
are trying to carry into motion against the
Wing ticket in this State. We speak advi'
sedly, when we say that Dutee J. Pearce,
Marshal Anthony, and John X. Waterman,
are the great prime movers OF the third ticket
which has been offered to the public, called
the "I.lbcral Prox," in which are placed the
names of the Hon. Messrs. Burgess, Collins,
King aud Holden, neither Of whom, we pre-
sumo, gave their consent to such a use
being made of their names. Mcssrs. King
aud Holden are in the Whig prox, and will
most ass,lrrdly be elected, with their assoc-
atcs in that prox-they, therefore, 90 not
need the support of the third prox and il
they did, they would not seek II, nor accept
Of it, if it could be avoided. As to Mcssrs.
Burgess and Collins, we will only say, that
from what we know ofihose gentlemen, we
are unwilling to permit ourselves to doubt
for moment, tina, they will publicly disclain'
The nomination,a las Mr.. Remington has already
done who was named in that ticket for Gene
raj Treasurer. II it be asked what object
could Messrs. Pearcc s. Co. have in getting
up this third ticket, we reply, the answer is
obvious. Two of those gentlemen, it is well
known, enterioin strong desire to manifest
,oususs devotion to- their locofoeo leaders al
Washington-thcse two gentlcmcn, cMessrs.
Anthony and Wetermnn,y have for many
years, held highly important and valuable
Offices phder the General Government, and
they desire TO hold them still longer. They
do not hold in very high vcneration, that old
democratic custom, "rotation in Office"
As TO the other gentleman, Mr.. Pearce,
why, to be sure, he does not wish to lag be-
hind in earnest and devoted cxertions to pro-
mote the success of ihe party. But there is
another motive which moves Mr.. Pearce.-
lie knows, full well, there could be no possi-
bic chance for him, even to run for Congress
next August, if the locofocos made no oppo-
silion to Gov. Spraguc, and the rest Of the
Wing ticket this'Spring. Mr. Pearce, then,
set himself to work in good earnest to get
Gov. Frances to stand at the head Of the
locofoco ticket-but Gov. Francis knew too
well the doom that would await him at the
head of such prox, and therefore resisted
the earnest and repeated entreates Of Mes
srs Pcarce g. Co, and utterly refused to be
run as their candidate for Govcrnor.-Nc-
vcriheless, the loc0foco troops must be called
to the field-they must be mustered, drilled,
and answer to the rol-coll, or they otherwise
could not be found, if wanted by Mr.. Pearc",
in August next. The Liberal ticket, 80 cal
led, then and therefore ushered forlh-the
gctters-up Of il having no other possible hope
but of defeating the Wing ticket. That OBJ
ect effected, [bnt it cannot be, a chance
would remain TO the locofocos, as they sup
pose, to coalesce with the liberals OH second
trial against the Whigs.-But there will be
no second tral--the people Of this State have
seen, and felt enough Of Jackson anc Van
Burcn locofocoism.
In conclusion, We will only add, and we do
it with great pleasure, the people of this
State or the great minority of the people
the Wing party-nro fully and entirely satis-
fled with the enlightened and highly judic-
ious administration of Gov. Sprague ond the
gentlemen associated with him in the Wing
prox, and will, therefore, give them n gencr-
ous and strong support NEXT WEDNESDAY,.
and they well deserve such support. But the
Wings should not rest satisfied with merely
giving that ticket generous support Every

industriously,n rousing his less active neigh
