ssREACTE9N,,s

The locofocos are rejoicing nightly
at the result of several of the late cleo
tons, and claim their apparent and tenn
porary gain as evidence that a reaction
from the Presidential election is going on
among the people. Nothing, we consci-
entiously believe, is further from the
truth. We have seen nothing to con
vince US that there is any real increase
Of locoioco strength; bat rather hat
the results We have alluded to are sole
ly and entirely attributable 10 the fall
in off in the whig vote. Local ques-
tons, artfuIly managed by our opponents,
have done much TO produce the present
state of things; but the great cause is to
be found in the apathy of the wings,
brought about, as Justly observed by the
Louisville Journal, by the late extraordi-
nary incidents at the seat Of Govern
ment. "The monstrous proceedings Of the
Pr6SlQenL, Ills tIedC uDe~1lIOAt '-4s@A a.
of his friends, and his base union with
his enemies have had mighty effect;
not, to be sure, in shaking the political
/ faith Of the Wings, but in disgusting and
disheanlening them, chilling aud re-
! pressing their enthusiasm, indisPoslng
them for exertion, and excitin doubts IL
their minds as 10 who are and who are
not worthy Of their support and conf
dence. Finding themselves deceived anc
betrayed by men whom they have de
lighted to honor, and beholding on every
side signs of treachery, many of then
are disposed TO pause for short time
and look deliberately around them t.
see who are worthy to be their cham
pions, ere they again rush, as il
1910, with all their energies into The
battle.''
Much noise as they may make abou
it, and loud as they may shout victory
the knowing ones among the locofoco'
see plainly that there is little cause TO
reloicing-that the triumph which they
claim in the State elections are nomina
] that the strength of the wings is uu
