THE ELECTIONS.

The Locoioeos are exuiiing over the
recent elections, and claim them as ycto.
ries. A little reflection will satisfy every
reasonable man, TINT they are not lri.
umphs. The Wings by carrying The State
elections, could accomplish nothing SO far
as legislation extended, they have accom-
plished all that they desired, with the eX-
ception Of Bank. Such au one as they
wish, in the present state oil things is i'm
possible. Without the aid Of thc President
they cannot create il. Then why should
they struggle when il cannot answer any
purpose : The Iocos should remember
that they have beld Stale after State, but
when tie hour Of Trial came, they were
wrested from their sway by large majori-
ties. Let but lhe occasion arise again,
aud the spirit that hurled Martha Van b.
ren from the Presidential chair, viii break
forth and again overahclm them. 4 few
years haek and, they held tue Empire
State 10 letters, Pennsylvania submitted to
their rule, Virginia gave in her adherence,
Ohio yielded TO their power, and even
North Carolina, the Rip Van Winkle, Of
the South, lowed his neck TO tie yoke
but in ls4o where was their power -
Where had their vast major,ics yatSshed
Let them crow; let them boas. Of their
successes, and le, them be merry, bu, e.
member tia, their hour cometh. The
spirit TINT auima,ed The American People
il the late struggle, only slambers though
Il appears qu!escea', II viii break forth
again ih lis power aud assert tbs mujori,y
Of tho people. Let no, the Wings feel the
least dependency often have darkerciouas
ootned over their prospects, and Tor a time
snyeioPed them Ia gloom; but as often
have they blown off and len them brighter.

The hellish design. On Wednesday night

aroes and one belonging to ncighborlng
plantation, kuock at his door, and on lis
iening, he overheard enough to convince
him some vilaiHy was on foot, aud did not
admit them. The next morning he had
the negroes arrested, when they confessed
ii was their design to have killed Mr.. 4.
the moment he opened the door; for which
purpose, one of them was provided with an
axe. They then intended TO proceed TO
the residence Of Mrs. Williams, and kill
her, and so on 10 the mex, neighbor. On
their examination, the four negroes impl-
Gated several others who were concerned
with them, and nine in all were put on their
trial. Our informant thinks the four ring
leaders will be hung, and The rest severely
punished. OF the negroes arrested, three
belonged to Mr.. Zndt, three TO Mrs. VIII
