Loco Focoism is doing its very worst, backed
/ by all the power and patronage OF both the Fede-
raj and State Governments, to maintain its ascen-
dancy, but it struggles against the current The
vote is likely to be some thousands heavier than
| last year
Wings OF Connecticut now absent from your
State You are santed al home Resolve, one
and a to GO HOME on Saturday, SO as to be early
at the Polls on Monday morning next!
VIRo1s1A.--Hon. GEO. w. SUMMERS, we rejoice
to hear, has consented to stand again as cendi-
date for Congress- though he insisted on declining
| till the Convention declared that he mast be run,
whether or no. He will be opposed by Samuel
HAYS the former Member.
In the Wheeling District, Hon. LEWIS STEEN-
ROD (Locsl has secured denomination from the
Convention of his party, but uader such circum-
stances render it nearly certain that another
Loco-F oco will trouble him. The Convention was
not full-two counties unrcpresented-tw more
seccded before the nomination made.
In the Shenandoah District, Hon. WIN. A..
HARRIS of Page, the present Loco Member, volun-
teees; William Lucas of Berkeley also offers on
that side End VIM. Taylor of Rockbridge is pro-
| posed. a Convention is called to decide between
them Charles James Faulkner, late Of the State
Senate will be supported by the Wings. but has
| little chance.
Hon. WI. L. GoGaIN, of Bedford, has finally
taken the field for reelection in the new Albemarle
District, at the urgent request of the Wings. Ex-
Gov G1LMER is doing his best to ingratiate HIM
selfby the Locos, but we fear that they will rem
der him cold support, though no candidate OF
their party will oppose him. The Van Burenltes
will have gained serious loss if they do elect him.
Mr.. WISE is stumping his District with great
energy, feebly opposed, we fear, by MIR. Hill Car
ter, who is chained to Richmond by his duties as
Senator. We suspect better located candidate
sht have been selected.
Messrs. R. M. T. HUNTER Loco) and Will
loughby Newton (Whig) are actively canvassing
the Essex District; the friends ofeach are sangrine
| of success.
Loco-F oco INUNDATIoN or THE SIXTEENTH
WARD.-Our friends in the Sixteenth Ward must
be on their guard. The Loco Focos hope to wipe
out their disgrace at having been defeated in this
ward at the last Charter Election, and will use
every means in their power to effect the object.
We hear that large colonies of Loco-Foces are
pouring in from other wards, and bid our friends
be on the alert for their detection.
10 Our Assembly has recently had ander con-
.ideration the subject of printing the remaining
volumes of the Geological Survey of the STATE,
and have decided that Carroll & Cook, their own
Printers, shall have the job at their Contract Pri-
ces, which will give them some $4,000. Strenu-
uou. efforts were made to have this job given to
the lowest bidder, but voted down. Of course
And yet there is scarcely any work which may SO
properly and safely be given to the lowest bidder
as the printing of books.
% Now, Messrs. Street Contractors! the peo-
pie expect to see you doing up your work with en-
ergy and ar abundant force They have scorned
the palrry clauor that would make you responsible
for the blocking our Streets with million tons of
Snow and Ice now they expect to the Streets
cleaned both rapidly and well and they have a
right TO expect it. Do not disappoint them
~ The STLvAsA ASSOCIATION had full
and spirited business meeting at Fourier Hall last
evening. A very good beginning was made toward
the paying in of its capital stock. The examiaa-
ton of the several locations offered it, with view
to the purchase of its Domain, is yet delayed by
the snow which still largely covers the country,
but will soon be effected. Mr.. Whitley, President
of this Association, will speak in Newark this
evening.
