! THE BARREN VICTORIES or THE
LOCO LOCOS.
Since the shouts and hazZas Of the Loco
Focos have somewhat subsidized, an oppor-
unity is afforded 10 consider tie fruits Of
their boosted victories. What are they,
and TO what results do they lead What
have they guined in .AIaryland A Gov
ernor without power or influence, and
Legislature, which has the irl<so,ne task
to perform Of increasing the taxes. What
in Georgia, in Pennsylvania and Ohio -
The same. The triumphs are utterly bar
+ rea. They are not even indications o fil-
/ ture elections. They have been won By a
diminished vote, even on their own side,
and by still greater elimination on the
Wing slde-showing conclusiyely that the
majority is still with the Wings, and occa-
sion is only required to bring into play
Whilst these Wing reVerses are thus prof
itless to the Locos, we see IN them The
germs Of future good to the Wings
They have already awakened the glorious
spirit Of lS40, and VIC see and hear enough
around us, and from the Wings of the
State, 10 assure us, that treachery, so far
from suhduing them, will but animate them
to greater excytions. They still love their
priIc;9 pies, and tho cause, with the siccess'

happiness aud prosperity Of the county
and they still detest Loco Focoism and is

THE RECENT ELECTIONS.
II is matter Of general congratula,iun
with tho. OPP osition Press, that they have
been able to carry SO many Of the recent
elections. Under the existing cireums'an.
ces, VITA a President and Congress Of the
same party, at swords points, and Cubi-
net breaking Up in quarrel, II IS sutpris-
ing that The Wings have been able to stand
their ground so we'll. What the oppozi.
ton have, however, is but barren scep-
tire. They have some state Governments,
some for o;.o year, others perhaps for more,
but no Members Of Congress, no Feder-
al officers, nothing in short but the bar
rem sccptre.
The explosion now Of Cabinets, &c. &C.,
is over. The People and the party Of the
People begin TO see things about as they
are. The tone of WING Committees and
the Wing Press is moderating, and we are
in general learning prudence, amid diaster.
No Wing votes are changed. No Wing
votes are lost. The party on its old prin-
ciple Of action is as strong as ever. The
elements.of power are with Us as vigorous
as in October last, and at the time when
victory will win more than barren scep-
tire, we shall be ia the field about as strong
as ever.
A verdict has been taken BY defaults in
Maine, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Geor. I
gla, aud probably Ohio. We shall move
for new frial anon, shall have it TOO, ard
then stand rectus in ctria.
The revolution backwards, as we fancy
now, is about over. The worst has been
done. New YORK, if we mistake not, will
make Roadway against it, if not in full, in
part at least, as practically effective as il
in full. The roar and uproar of Loco
foco victories in other States never dauut-
ed US. That Ball" we stopped once
before, ID much stormier time than this.

New York. f

understandings that have led 10 recent de-
eats in other States. j they had sixty

he State, and the necessity Of guarding
md protecting them, ought to aroase. as
much action, as if national questions were .
