The Locot6co Meeting, and The Resolutiom.-Well
at long last, we are enabled to notice the pro-
cccdngs Of that Locoloco meeting held court
week.
The richest portions of the affair are omitted
i'll the published proceedings; nothing being said
of the motion to lay the resolutions on the table,
and all hands to dispense in quietness; nor is it
mentioned thatsomc of the officers left their seats
seemingly i'll disgust.
1t seems that the object of the meeting was
stated cioquenty CD They then plcnnJled that
every individual of them was 'iirm, fearless,
and perscvcring" fellow, sc. &C., and proceeded
to rcsoIre lstly, that their candidates were de-
tcatcd by illegal votes, 2ndly that they were de-
icatcd by sickness, and 3rdly, that they were de-
tcatcd by other causes.
For our part we attribute their defeat to the
oihl, causes In regard to the sickness matter, it
was irving their brother locos rather bad char
actcr to resolve that they iorsock their friend i'll
distress.
The resolution touching the Illegal voting is
Nv
cause it is notorious that the locoioco party il
this county always poll more illegal votes thar
the Wings. They have men who reside in Del
aware, who are yearly in the practice of coming
here and perjuring themselves, and voting. 1t i:
known tina! such was the fact at the late election
and any cDectre investigation of the matter
would be TO their disadvantage. But the mat
ter cannot be effectively Investigated, and hence
such resolution was nonsenscal. We invite
them, However to proceed i'll the case.
hepudimion.-They also passed resolution
approving the course of Messrs Knight and For,
wood in the last Legislature. We would be as
tonshed at such resolution, did we suppose that
that meeting fairly represented the feelings o
ocoloco party in this county. Such we do no
believe to be the fact for that resolution makes
rcpudiatols ofal who were in favour Of it-rob
them OF every particle of honor and honesty, ano
we have charity enough to believe that there are
many honest and honorable locofocos in Cecl
county. Concerning it, we will only remark
that in any community, u set Of men may be pick,
cd out, who would be III favour of any resolution
or act, 10 Ii after how dishonorable, or criminal
"Sarc me from any triends"'-"'The meeting
also passed further resolution" says the Ceci
Democrat, in favour of Albert Constable Esq. fol
l.. = Senator, which in consonancc with hi
Wis. cs was not published. Mr.. Constable la.
acted wisely i'll this matter. To have accepted
the recommendation Of gathering of rcpudia
tors--lo have suffered his claims to the honora
Bile Office of United States Senator to have beer
publicly urged by the same meeting that passec
resolutions approving the conduct of those whc
attempted to dishonor our state, would have
damnd him politically. If he did not with the
better part Of the community doubt the honesty
of the meeting, he has shown them thatho doubt.

arc quite certain that their resolutions in regard
