that of the abolitionists about 5OO-united $500.
The wing vote in this county is about 24OO.-
Now, if 600 wings romain a: homo. and do not

eloct. Tho cntiro delegation is now loco; but in
tho recent election the wings have elected one
member by large majority, and possibly two

district 1t has been by very small vote. The
wings did not any candidates in the other two

revise the Constitution the locos and consorya-
vatives have small majority, several of the

Clay thoro can be no doubt.
Tho locos claim a majority i'll tho Legislature,
and in the popular vote. They know tho claim to
be false and peridious,and they set up their ella i'm
for unworthy political purposes-to effect the O.

he had calf in the barn, which he would sell

Il nc locos OF the eastern part of the State hold
Il regular out-and-out. tandango, at knightstown
on Saturday last. They had proccssion-mu-
sic-banners-the lone star of Texas displayed
on fiass-songs, horrible songs were sung and to
tunes made popular by tho Wings. large
Dor of those IN tho procession carried in their
hands poke stalks; and we understand that there
were four wagons, in each of which rode 26 la
dies. dressed i'll white, crowned with most beau
titul wreaths and bearing i'll each hand boueh
of deep green hickory, presenting handsome
appearance. We applaud tho spirit of the ladies'
whilo deprecato tho cause III which their
friends engaged. The fandango was address
scd by Gov. Whitcomb, who is now receiving
$500 per year for his services as Governor of
the State. Instead of ''studying out plan by
which TO rolievo tho State from her heavy bur-
dcns'' as he promised to do when canvassing for
tho office. he is now dovotng his whole time in
addressing locofoco fandangoes. James X. Polk,
was indicted by grand jury for tho same offence.
Nhitcomb had better look out. Tho liking of tho
monkeys also relieved himself of his plan to
" rnlLANTHRorIcIzE," (as he forms it.) Mexico
Other speeches were mado-songs woro sung
music made, and tho thing was over.
The locos estimate their crowd variousv from
five to twelve thousand. From our best nforma-
ton we suppose there present from two to
thrco thousand. Tho same party will have a fan
dango IN this place next Saturday. We hope
they will have a largo turn out aud that thoy
will bring out their banners, thor songs their mu-
sic, and their poke stalks.
We hope that the ladies of their party will al
so lend them thoir smiling countonanco.
