stormy, protracted time of il. The locos have
the decided ascendency and will probably make
the most oftheir authority. great many mat

They will have the State currency to tinker, the
immense deficits in the ably conducted treasury
to hunt up the great Madawaska War to eulogize,
and revive perhaps and many other humbugs too
numerous to mention, to bring to bear up the
next election. We shall attend to the faithful
and impartial exposition of all the important pro-
ceedings from beginning to end.
