LOCO LEGISLATION.

Since the dreadful defeat experienced by the
otfce-holders, at the recent election, the leaders
and wre-pullers of the loco foco party, have taken
advantage of the extra session of the Legislature
to concentrate their united loeofocoism, in order
to devise some lille plans to save themselves
from utter humiliation, at the approaching pres-
dental canvass
1t has been discovered by these housing
mountebanks, that by passing mean law, to
include persons who are engaged in logging

squads, just to suit their convenience, without
reason or common sense to sustain the idea, that
large accession of strength may be counted upon
by the friends of the present corrupt admnistra-

first, many of the more honest of the locos them
selves voted against it, hut were ultimately whip

The Wing Victory in Maine.
. the Editor Of the Bath 7elegraph'

The Wings of Maine have much with which to
fiatter themselves in the late victory. The fair
open and manly discussion. before the people, of
public politics, which they have introduced. has
driven the spoilsmen from the false posltiOnswhlch
they had assumed, and routed them as party in
the State. The banner of the Office holders has
been struck and the proud flag of "Harrson and
Reform" supplies its place. Instead of bowling
at the footstool of executive power, Maine now
exalts herself, as State determined to do all she
can to purge the channels of public business, to
check the growth of inoipient monarchy, and
give the reins of government to one who will
obey the people. For this the Wings have reason
to be proud They have circulated the truths
which have produced the unlocked for revolution
Unlocked for, indeed it was, and therefore the
more gratifying. But still it ought not to have
been unlocked for. The people always act hon
estlu, though sometimes deceived by the arts Of
designing men. They could not in justice to
themselves approve the doings of the admnstra-
ton, and therefore though the exertions of the
Office holders were great, the revolution ought to
have been expected. Their confidence had been
abused and they, turned with whitening effect
upon the men who with winning arts and false
illusions were stealing from them their rights
Yet the Wings must not now lie still. The enc
my is collecting HIS scattered forces and preparing
for the combat in November with all the energy
which despair can impart. He threatens to over
throw the people then. Let our motto then be
action, energetic, untring action. If we sleep,
the enemy, always active, will seize upon our
dese,te outposts, and take possession of the
vantage ground. If we do our duty, Maine is
sure for Harrison. If we do not, we allow the
enemy to take the State when she is justly ours.

All Politics!

Yes, and shall be nearly so, for three weeks Ion
ger. There is vast amount of Information having a
bearing upon the great question, which must be
brought before the pc ople, in order, if possible to
induce them to support the Republican cause. The
fact that len Harrison Is to be President of the Uni
ted States after the 4th of March next, whether
Maine votes for him moi. does not exonorote 'ns
from doing our duty No! We must keep up the
fire. md stand in the hottest Of the battle, in order
TO atone in small measure, for having heretofore
permite ourselves to contribute to the support Of
men, who have brought ruin upon the interests OF
The Country.
Whilst we bitterly lament, the too manifest prev
aence of mere PARTY Spirit, evinced in the vile
and slanderous course oftbe locos with respect TO
Gen. Harrison's character and principles, we as
heartily despise that sickly, morbid sensibility-or
rather, insensibliiy, which pervades the MINDS OF
certain neutral politicians. Generally speaking the
sentiment comes from swolves in sleeps clothing
and is prompted too frequently by mere avarlce and
self sufficiency.
There is another class of men, who ought to be
regarded, as in fact they are, the most dangerous
opponents 10 true hePup'eo" 'J'
class who still adhere 10 the administration
party,-and yet, are always free to express
their decided disapprobaton Of its leading meas
ures. The only reason they can assign for their
glaring inconsistency, is, that "6ofh parf'ss are
dishonest They arrive at this conclusion, by
very summary process of reasoning. Ihey
know the loco foco party is upheld by sheer ras-
caly and so rather than take the trouble to ascer-
tain whether the Wing party, is not, after all, the

other class, deserve the severest .eprehenson, for
TO honesty and integrity Of purpose, they are pro-
