Fl GAME OF BRAG.

The vapid and assan;ne Dragging all at once
prevailing the Loco press, and adopted by the
leaders, seems to be a part Of the system OF
electioneering which L~oco-Focoism has or
ganized for the next Presidential election
Argument they have none. Consistency
they have none, and principles and policy they
have none but what every enlightened friend
of his country must regard as utterly sub
versive of the public good. But determined
to blink the eyes Of the people from all the
great measures involved in the Presidential
controversy, such as Tariff and Anti- Tariff
Anneration or Anti Annerafion, they resort to
the most cold hearted Interpretations,
to low and vulgar personal abuse and black
guardism of the Wing candidates, and at
length they have resorted to the game fbrag
as a part of their tactics to save themselves
aud the party from that fiat despair with
which they are necessarily devoured. Es-
pecially in Vermont, a region of midnight
darkness to this doomed party, as nothing but
brag is left for them, SO nothing but brag is
the OUR Of the day. Polk, Polk the mighty
puissant Polk just dug up from the oblivion
in which Gov. Jones had buried him in the
last Tennessee election, is to walk triumph
antly over the course on the Texas hobby,
and tread Henry Clay in the dust. The
sage of the hermitage set them the ex-

counts of wing gatherings in every section Of
the Union. In Maryland Col. Pratt, the
Wing candidate for Governor is ~stumping ii
through the state. The whole whig party
are gathering, and making ready to com

Scarcely a doubt remains of a great Wing

LOUISIANA ELECTION--HOW
RECEIVED IN GEORGIA.
Correspondence Of Me Tribune.

Correspondence OF the 1ri0une.
DARIEN, Geo. July Is, ls43.
1t gives me great pleasure to assure
you that the most cheering accounts are
received from the interior of our State.
Our popular candidate for Congress, Thos.
Butler King is actively engaged in the
canvass, and his election by a triumphant
majority is looked upon as certain. The
news of the Election in Louisiana oper-
ates like a dose of jalaP upon the poor
Locos, whose disappointment and chagrin
are pitiable in the extreme. 1t was al
most universally conceded by the Wings
that at this election Louisiana would 60
against them, and The Locos boasted that
they would open the campaign by the
conquest of that State. Alas this is but
a slight foretaste of the tremendous de-
defeat theat awaits them when the BAN
ner of Harry Of the West is unfurled and
flung TO the breeze at the Presidential
Election

AN ALLEGORY.

1t was night, Jerusalem slept quietly a
mid her hills, as child upon the breast OF
its mother. The noiseless sentinel stood
like statute at his post, and the philoso,
piers light burned dimly in the recesses of
his chamber.
But darker night was abroad upon the
earth A moral darkness involved the ma
ton in its Enlightened shadows.-Reason
shed faint gimmerng over the minds of
men, like the cold and inefficient shining Of
a distant star. The Immortality of mans
spiritual nature was unknown, his relations
to Heaven undiscovered, and his future des-
tiny obscured in a cloud of mystery.
1t was a: this period that TWO forms, the
rial mould, hovered above the land of Cod 5
chosen people. They seemed sister angels
sent to heaven on some embassy of love.

bearing and steady eve, was exhibited the
highest degree Of strength and confidence.

with ardent but varying glances.
Suddenly light like the sun flashed out
from the heavens, and Faith and Hope hail
ed with exuIting songs the ascending Star oi
Bethlehem.
Years rolled away, and stranger was
/ seen in Jerusalem-r He was a m elk and
unassuming man, whose happiness seemed
to consist 10 acts Of benevolence to the hu
man race. There were deep traces of sor
row in his countenance, though none knew
why he grieved, for he lived IN the practice
of every virtue, and was loved by all the
wise and good

Alta moment when appeals are made to
