hot and co1d.-In this county and in all
portions of the state where the people are
opposed to the Chesapeake and Ohio
canal, the locdfocos have charged Dir
Pratt with being in its favor.
They again and again have stated in
their speeches here that he was one'of the
foremost men in bringing the state into
debt. and their paper has published the
same charge. We have denied i, time al
ter time, and for the proof have Cited the
Journals ofthe Legislature.
We introduce the subject now in order
to make some quotations from the "Alle-
ganIan," alocoloco paper printed in Cum

night the locofocos of this town got out their bio
gun, and fired some five six rounds For the
soul OF lis we could not divine what thew wc,s
lrtng ior, until we met the following lutte hand
bill which the boys had stuck up.
"GIoR,ous DGmocRar,c .Soose.
We have just received intelligence by the mae.
nDWnS telegraph, that "tlc Dutch have taken
Holland " Tyler has taken Texas, and the De-.
mocrats have carried Louisiana and re;n,d loss
oil one member Of hongreSs only. To show our
gratitude to nm everything Providence ter even
The smallest lvors, let rejoice that things are
no, worse by hiring as many guns as we can get
powder FOL. Resolved upauimouslu tina, if Tho
above Moose should not be confirmed that the
wh1gs pay Tor the powder. The lurrais we will
| give IN gratis"
That is the way the boys explain the matter,
but older heads say that the whole farce was rot
ten uplhy certain knight Of the yard stick, who
coad'Soe"ded to ming Ic with those who did the
! WORK ON that occasion, and shouted and sung
Polk dttles as loud as he was able: thing he
never did before. "Now boys three cheers 70,
the delegate ticket" he would bawl ou,-had he
called out, CHOW boys three cheers for brother
! have been more manifest. We have some an
ccdotes to tell of him and fellow who follows
at his heels, as soon as we get time.
We never heard of a party firing because they
were defeated before. As the night ramblc,
whistles to keep up his spirits as he walks among
The graves, SO they may have fred their guns to
cheer their dropping souls, when the only hope
otsuccor from Texas was forever dspcllcd
be easy boys we'll let you hear an old gun
speak little wing thunder presently.
The .Meeting at Worth East.-The
