 "Why don't you publish more election returns ?' lnquires one of our subscribers "give us the entire details in these exciting tmes-publish accounts of meetings, the speeches delivered, &c" Now, if we were to do this, it would take up more than the whole of our paper. "Please discontinue my paper" said couple of our loco subscribers last week. cit IS so filled with politics that must take some other paper" It is just for one set of subscribers we publish too little of politics, for another too much- So between the two, and the establishment of Lop Cabins" " Madisonians," and other papers devoted either exclusively to politics, to none at al our country papers curtaed in their circulation, and shorn of their proper share in the sPorLs, while the editors of the others are reapng golden fruits from the extended circulation thus given to their papers, We complain not, however-we believe sve can live through this campaign.

The plan is this He intends to collect all the locofocos together few days previous to the election, procure band of music, and can and, Al. create great excitement, and keep it up until after election. Now, MT. Editor, just think for moment what splendid scene awaits the natives of the I7th district! Think of that collection of aN the locos too; big lokeys and little okeys, Postmasters Con- stables, Justices, and exJustices lst Selecmen and Hh Selectmen, democrats who were born veterans, and democrats who were made so last spring. all marshalled in the grand cavalcade by his most Cot tonic Majesty, with colors flying and music playing, and then the big gun!!! o, shade of Amos Ken- dall's babies, protect us!

Here the beauties of the scene rush upon the beholder. The sides Of she ridge are co. vered with trees of almost all sizes and kinds from that of the king of the forest to the smallest shrub and thcky set that it is only at intervals that the eye can discern the scene beyond.
