TIE JOLLY PARTY. Dickens, in a late work
has a character who is distinguished by a NOR
bid desire to be jolly under disadvantageous
circumstances. He leaves a comfortable home,
and a woman whom be loves. and who loves
him, to seek his fortune with scarcely a penny
in his pocket, because there is no cree dit In be
ing Jolly with every thing to make life agreea-
BILE. He gets into difficulties of all sorts, and
plumes himself upon keeping up his spirits with
every thing 10 depress them. A facetious fell
low was Mark TapIey. no doubt and had great
facility in ''comIng out strong'' IN his own Ian
guage, when most men would have been broken
down by misfortunes and distress, such as he
experienced. But the Locofocos beat Mark out
of sight. They are jolly and happy under cir
eumsfances perplexing enough to have thrown
Mark into a state of despair. Nevertheless,
they are Joyous and b~uoyant, full of hope and
confidence, and see in each successive reverse
a bright presage of ultimate success. They
shout themselves hoarse over every deieats and
become more and more delighted the more they
are thrashed-
Connecticut led oG the elections in the Spring.
The Locofoeos, who had carried the State for
three successive years were utterly .overthrown,
and a decided majority in the Legislatures, a
Wing Governor and Senator in Congress, were
the fruits of the victory. "Connectlcut for ev-
er!' cry the Locos. 'sSound to the core!" We
are sure to carry her in she fall, now.' Virginia
comes next.-Here a L~ocofoco joint ballot oil
eighteen is sunk. and the Wings secure a SEN
ator in Congress-'Hurrah for the Old Domin-
ion!n is the cry. We wanted nothing better
than this. A Democratic triumph is certain
All the recent ele ctions, in Lonfsiana, North
Carolina, Kentucky, Indiana, Vermont Delaware
and Maryland, have inspired them with fresh
hopes. Nothing is so encouraging as defeat.
Says a Whig, you have lost a member OF Con
gress in the second district of Louisiana, and
we have got the Legislature by a decided ma
jority. tGlorious!" reply the Locos.-'N othlng
can be more cheering. Infinitely better tina we
expectedn The North Carolina.-The Wings
have elected their Governor, swallowed up the
Loco majority of 80 on joint ballot, and have
twenty TO spare besides. ''Capital!r shout these
Jolly fellows s'Wha could be more encour-
aging! Just what we excepted. Three cheers
for the old North State! How can she fail to
90 for Polk, he's native and favorite son.' India
ma reverses her Locoloco MAORI ty OF the prev
Gus year, and secures a Wing Senator in Com
gress. New cause for joy. Three cheers for
lIndlaua! Was there ever such a run OF luck!-
The Loeos are absolutely fatigued with their
triumphs. But Maryland is the browning joy of
the whole series. They had brought every cor
rupt appliance to bear upon this State. Geld
was lavished in untold Observation-Disclosures OF
voters were imported from other States, and so
deep laid and well concerted was their system
OF bribery aud fraud that they were certain OF
carrying the State. Buiithe Wings have carried
ii triumphantly, and the Locoioeos are again
overloyed. Was there ever such a set of JOY
Gus fellows?
