In the House Of Commons on The 10th,
Lord Palmerston called attention to the Afri.
can slave trade; stating that from 10000 to
10000 negroes are still brought annually in
to America from Africa, For every one who
survived the passage, he calculated that three
died, and be proceeded TO protest in the most
vehement manner against the Bufferance Of so
abominablo a traffic, charging 1t upon the
French Cabinet, upon the Ashburton capitn-
l%ation, and in particular upon Sir Robert PcePs
Cabinet. Sir Robert replied very quickly:
reproaching Lord Palmerston for introducing
a political attack upon such an oecasion-~say-
ing that The behaviour of Spain and the Bra
zils was the real difficulty in the way Of the
suppression Of the trade, and that the govern
ment took all means in it's power to suppress
il. Lord Palmerston had moved for returns,
the preparation Of which be had already or
dered.
The House ordered these returns, and the
subject dropped.

ANOTHER WAY TO THROTTLE
A POLKAT.

One who attended what the PoEties call a
" great ratification meeling" at Brooklyn the
other evening, tells us a good story Of the way
In which one of the orators was stufdped by
an inquisitiye Locofoco. He was roaring
loudly about the nomination Of James X Polk,
vindicating his claim to the title of " Young
Hickory and proclaiming the awful manner
in which he would annihilate what little
there is left Of the Whig party in November.
4 What's re done ~ shouted his Locofoco
friend, who had never heard of Mr.. Folks pc.
litical achievements. +" Why said the ora
Tor, "why, he is a genuine descendant of
'Old Hickory chip Of The old block-a"
-" What's he 0 N 4" Numbered his imper-
tinent friend. " Why said he, he has
he has-oh! its no matter tohat he's done. The
question inst what be has done, but what he's
going to do !" His friend said nothing in re-
ply, but there's reason to believe that he
thoughts good deal.-N. N. Courier.

FACT AND FtCTION-LoCoFOCO
RRAGGlNG.

Just at this particular juncture, when the
l%ocofocos are stunning the ears of the public
with accounts Of the Tremendous enthusiasm
of the people for Polk and Dallas, We may aa
well give our readers a look THE following
article from the North Carolina Star. 1t bits
oft The Dragging propensities of the l%ocofocos
ID the life
sour misnsfned democratic friends have al.
ways been ao0d at Dragging and prophecying.
In 1910, they showed their skill at this buis.
iness admirably and now they are again ex-
bibiting their extraordinary powers, for the
purpose Of making the people believe that
there is really some chance for the election
of Polk and Dallas. Their papers are filed
with whole colnmns Of changes and they
blaze away At such a rate about tho prospect
Of Polk and Dallas, that one not accustomed
to their way Of trying to make an impression,
would think that the whole world was in
arms for Polk aud Dallas. But to enable the
public to place O just estimate upon their pre-
sent and forthcoming hragging~-to show
their wonderful powers in stating passing
events, and foreteliing those 10 come, We
call the attention Of the people to the fact
that in 1870
They claimed 90 States and they got 2
They claimed 26I electoral votes, aud they
rot GU.
They claimed Pennsylvania,
and they lost ii by $50 majority,
They claimed Maine,
and they Jos, L BY III do
The claimed Delaware,
and they lost il by I,039 do
They claimed Michigan,
and they lost 1t BY 1,sU2 do
They claimed New Jersey,
aud they lost it by 2,317 do
They claimed Mississippi,
and they lost il By 2,64a do
They claimed Louisiana,
and they lost it by $3.50 do
They claimed Maryland,
and they lost il by 4,776 do
They claimed Georgia,
and they lost II BY 1891 do
They claimed Tennessee,
aud they Lost it BY 12,102 do
They claimed N. Carolina,
and hey lot i BY 1854 do
They claimed New York,
and they Iest itby 1890 do
They claimed Indiana,
and they lost 1t by 1868 do
They claimed Ohio
and they lost Thy 1885 do
They claimed Kentucky,
and they lost it BY 25,S73. do
Thus claiming IS States which they did moi
gel
Thus claiming, Of States which they did
not get, more than vice as many as all they
did GET.
Thus claiming of electoral votes which
they did rot get, more than three times a many
as all they did get.
Thus Ginning Of the peoples votes a ma
jority in each of fifteen States, every one of
which went against them the wohle BY an
aggregate majority Of 1924 votes.
So prophecied they in 1910 and SO were
their prophecyings fulfilled

On the 18th ines d general election was
held in the State Of Missouri, for Governor,
Members Of Congress and Legislature. The
whige ran no candidate for Governor, most Of
them voting for Allen The soft or anti Benton
candidate. Neither did they run any candi.
dates for Congress, believing the election by
General ticket to be Illegal. The only point
contested by them was the legislature.
We have received returns from The County
Of St. Louis. The votes were not counted
on the 9Th inst. butE there was no doubt that
the entire wing ticket for the Legislature had
been elected by a triumphant majority. So
FAR, 30 good.
