Wings bad the force necessary TO IbC
achievement Of the victories 10 those
States, but we did not think they would
so efectually prosrale Looofocoism
this year. The truth is, however, the
Locolocos were latterly addicted to
speaking quite contempiuously OF the
Wing strength. They became so
boisterous in their insults that they
awakened the sleeping lion, and now
they lie crushed and bleeding on the
Geld. We advise our opponents 10
be little more decorous hereafter
when speaking Of the strength Of the
Wings, or the consequences may be
terrific beyond precedent.
J From the North, from the South,
from the East, and from the West, the
tidings Of Wing victories salute US
Tle popularity Of the glorious Wing
leader is not confined to any one State.
1t prevails in every State, and the cleo
tons Of next year will result more
unanimousythan any Presidential cleo
ton within the last twenty years. The
Wings willelecI Henry Clay by a more
overwhelming majority than General
Harrison received in 1910. The
truth is apparent to every unprejHdiced
mind, that, since the retirement Of Gen.
Jackson, the Locofoco party has been
rapidly losing IFS strength, consistency,
and numbers, until il is now so weak
as to inspire us with very slight appre.
ensions that it can ever again resume
the ascendancy it once enjoyed, but
which it forfeited by series Of most
proaigate and corrupt acts. The gal
Looping consumption is wasting the
strength oil the party, and it is stun
bling on with great percipitancy to an
unhouored gave.
The truth Of these remarks is con-
clUsively shown in the results Of the
elections in Tennessee, Ohio, Mary
land, and Georgia. In each Of these
States the Locolocos fought most furi.
ously, and were defeatedb by the Wings
who did not muster all their forces. 1
our oPP0nents bad pUssUssed sue
srengiltw hichthey uarshalled in 1S4C
they WuHldhsve succeeded where they
have failed most signally: They were
enthusiastic and the Wings were cool
and their enthusiasm availed them
nothing. What kind OF resistance viii
they be able to make to the invinciblC
legions Of the Wings next year, wher
the latter, with the gallant Clay fol
their leader and every heart flushed
with enthusiasm, shall rally to the res
cue? We shall undoubtedly achieve
the most magnificent political triumph
known in the annals Of the country. -
! Locofocoism, with its brazen front anC
its head hoary with unrepented sins
will be so routed aud discounted
that, thencefouh, it will be referred Il
