DPWe attended locofoco meeting in
Columbia, on Monday last. The meeting
was called for the purpose of appointing
delegates TO the proposed State Conven-
ton, and of expressing their opinions" on
matters generally. Mr.. Slocum presided
over the deliberations of the meeting, and
the manner in which he dispatched bust
ness, throws a shade as ozark as all round
my hat" over the Tyler man in Illinois who
got up and carried through State Mass
Meeting himself! In due course of time a
preamble and resolutions were brought for
ward by Mr.. Robards, the locofoco leader
in Boone. On the subject of the curren-
cy, the resolutions had very strong clique
odor, but recommended Col johnson for
the Presidency, and the Hon. Austin A
King for Governor. The meeting was ad,
dressed by Messrs. Powell and Belt of his
place, and Mr.. Blair, of BoonvilIe. The
latter gentleman, although a very clever
young man and good lawyer, would have
done more credit to himself by remaining
silent; for he was so wretchedly ignorant
of passing political events, that even his
locofoco brethren bushed at the reckless
ness of his statements. He formally read
"old Shad' out of the ranks, and turned
him over to the wings The meeting was
composed of some twenty locos, and every
thing was carried unanimously.

THE ELECTIONS.
The returns continue to give testimo-
ny of The increase Of Wing power in
Virgins, and afford an earnest Of what
the Old Domin on can do and ioiH do on
another trial Of strength. If we have
not carried the House Of Delegat at this
election, Gas we are inclined to believe we
have not,) we have succeeded in electing
such a minority as will hold the Locns
uneasy enough. This state Of things is
preferable to a majority in the House,
and to satisfy our Loco Foco friends
that we speak with sincerity, we will give
our reasons for The opinion. In the Senate
the Wings are in minority, and their
measures in the House, did they have a
majority. would be either destroyed or
manned in the Senate, while they would
be sa1dl"d with the responsibility for
every mischevous act. In the present
state of affairs, the responsibility rests up
on the shoulders Of the Locos, while the
Wings have strength enough to make them
behave with to lerable decency, and keep
their destructive propenslties under some
control. Next Spring, we repeat, the Oh
Dominion will stand forth completely dis
