proceedings Of a meeting of Ihe LocofocOs Of this
county, held at the Court House on the lat Court

called Democrats; but they made up in zeal what
they wanted in numbers. They hayo been render.

enlng' OF tho Enquirer. did not hear their rcso-
lutions read but understand that, although utra-
Loeoioeo, thoy wcro highly npprobatory OF the
course OF the acting President las they were wont
TO call him,) and that they laud WISE GIlmer and
Mallory TO tho Heavens. IL Is amusing to call To
mind the anathemis which these same Democrats
one short twelycmonth ago, heaped on the heads of
these very men, whom they now loudly exlol for
ther metcrions actions. And yet, this illustrious
trio, after having thrown themselves into the arms
OF our antagonists deliberately tell US that they are

The Loccs will leave no means untricd by which
they may possibly defeat tho election of our WIZ
candidate IN the ensuing spring. As is always the
case, they will rshal all OF their men To tho n,il.

ranks Of the Wing, by Tyler's trencherv. and
wh'eh has, Tor the present, cast a gloom over the

we must be beaten. But f the Wings will bun
rouse up and shake off this accursed disease ds.-
