Why do not the locofoco journals
publish the letter Of Mr.. Forsyth; who
is a prominent man oftheir party, and

OF their readers. Are all these things
to be kept .dark" from the people, or
only heard of through wing prints.

The last Democrat in an article headed "a
call upon the people of old Lol0ades Of both po-
liticai parties, suggests meeting Of the
Wings and Democrats, "to PROFOUND such
questions to candidates as are deemed impor-
tant and essential to the well being ofthe body
polite" Would the editor of that print pub
lish their answers, if such meeting were held!
Why has he not published the letters and
speeches of Gen. Harrison in ertenSo, for the
information of his readers, wherein his politi-
cal views are set forth, instead ofsendmg forth
to the world CARRIED Observation-Disclosures bro
ken in the middle-thereby causing him to say
what he did not say!-as much a forgery as
to alter the date, Or change the face of note
Why has he not had the manliness and hon
esty to retract these vile charges sent forth
to the world week after week, disgraeing both
his sheet and its editor, when he knew the
whole was false. When he does this then
the Wings win have no objection TO meet
with him and PROFOUND questions both to his
candidate and to theirs, on any subject. For
tunately for Gen. Harrison, and no less so fol
the people Of the country, they have other
channels of information than Loco Foco news
papers, that reflect nothing but darkness. We
advise the editor to keep his sof1 soap for the
benefit Of his own person. Away with you!

Mr. Dickinson and Mr.. Len.

We are informed by the Macon In
telligencer, that these two gentlemen
appeared before the people ofNoxube
e county in the capacity OF Candidates
for Presidential ElecioIs-the former
running on the Wing Ticket, and the
latter on the Locofoco Ticket, week
or so ago; and that notwithstanding
expectation ran high, with Mr.. Levy's
friends that Mr.. Dickinson could not
hold a pole with him, he Dickinson,
completely shuched him! This will
be the case everywhere. The fact is
the wings, have justice and truth on
their side,in the mighty fame of which
locofocoism must perish!

HUMBUGGERY OUT HUMBUGGED


Perhaps the greatest piece Of Humbugge-
ry of modern times on small scale, and yet
not so small either, is the resignation of tie
Office Of Postmaster General by Amos KEN
DALI to become editor of the Extra Globe.
But Amos has cut his "eye-teeth," and knows
a thing or two-and especially how to cork
the DEMOCRACY; and instead of getting at the
rate Of s 5000 per year for few months lon
ger, "to defay the expenses of a considerable
family" he is going to dig into their pockets to
thetune of $50,O00!-and no mistake.
Away goes the nloneg-to AMos,-and here
comes the Extra Globe!

Are not the locofocos hereabouts'

Bath above all things is the most con-

pended large sums in fitting up their
