We come now TO what seems TO be the darkes

The Columbus State Journal, in noticing the
result Of the recent election, states some facts which
will account for the defeat OF the Wings, without
assigning il the increase Of the Loco FOco strength.
For instance states that the vote for MIR King for
Governor, Wig "shrd party" candidate, will
fully Approximate four thousand voice that the
nboitionsis lost US the following Senators and Re-
representatives. one Senator nnd enc Representa-
tive in Lorain and Medina; one Senator and four
Representatives in Clermont, Blown and Clinton;
one Representative IN Harrison; one IN Belmont;
and one IN Gdernsey--in all, two Senators and
eight Representatives, which being placed on the
other side, would give the Wings majority on
joint ballot.
Shannon will only have majority OF 5000 over
Corwin. The Abolition vote oy these returns Is
upwards OF 5000. The Senate consists OF sc menu
bers-IS elected every alternate year. The Loco
Focos have ten that hold over, the Wings but two;
50 there were 81 ne~ Senators to elect this year.
The House consists ~. The Senate, 1t appears,
will stand "a Wings to % Locos,-the House, 81
Whies TO Al Lecos. We must remember then
that the Loco Focos had ptal Of TEN VOTES
10 start upon in the Legislature, and that they have
elected their Governor not by M JoriIy but by
plurality vote.
We eoneede victory here, however, though the
Loco Focos had majority in the legislature last
year, but victory II is. IL is not such an one as
should dishearttn the Wings.
The WHY'S have yielded too readily 10 their OPP
al CHI ~ m
walked most erect. We are not alarmed at the re
sul.s sny where, and il the Wings will but rally
and keep awake it will he easy matter TO change
the rejoicing OF our enemies into mourning.
