~ L.. ye.ryor-u Editor of the Chicago

n JoHx WExrwoETn. Editor oi the Chicago
Democrat. has been nominated to7 reelection 10 (
Congress, By the Loco Focos Of Northern Illinois.
We presume all the p,ese1t Loco-foc Members
from Illinois have been renomnated, as The Dem
ocr..: has them all at the head of its columns
We are quite willing that the Loco-tocos
should present Wentworth as Their ut Represent
alive in Congress, but it IS rather hard or the
Editorial fraternity. Take an instance OF his
meanness and f4schood IN his paper now before
Ms. Several wears since, Messrs. Prert!ss and
Word. Wings, were chosen Members Of Congress
from Mississippi, hut were refused their seats by
the casting vote of James X. Polk. then Speaker.
Their right was 50 clear that not only every
Wing, and every Nufer and tishy MEMBER
voted for them. but d number Of Loco-FocoS, and
vet Polk. in that spirit OF bitter partlsanshiP winch
has always governed him, deprived them OF then
seats. Nh Clay, ii seems, was staining IN the
House al the time Polk gave the casting vote
and was impellcd 50 tyso L9co-Foco cves-dfoP-
oers saw u express his burning indignation at
: the yiIlany of Folks course. There was never
prelencc that Polk heard Mr. Clay's remarks OF
that il VAS 50 uttered tina: he might have heard
it. And vet this John Wentworth not merely re-
tails this ;a,tlc twice over in his letters to his pa
per before us. but adds the downright fabrication
that Mr. Clay went of Dragging that he had IN
suited Mr. Polk, and that he did not dare resent
it"-Ought not Illinois to be proud OF such
Congressional ornament
n There was a cold gathering Of Locos at
Castle Garden last evening, al which FOLK
speech was at last extracted from Silas Wright
though he frankly gave them 10 understand that
he didn't like the nomination. Mr.. BHncker-
hoff, VI. C. from Ohio, aud Senator BREEsE also
spoke. 1t was a solemn meeting, but not 50 ior-
lorn as il looked to our citizens, from the extra
ordinary eanliess of the apologies for PROFESSIONS
l.; The Albany drgus, sc. &c. asserts that
we must be frightened because we claim 2O'OOO
majority in New-YoTk, and then again because
we don't claim majority in Louisiana, and be-
cause we calculate TO carry Tennessee, Nc by
sharp contest. In short, whether we claim or con-
cedc State it proves that we expect TO he beat
en-. Well, gentlemen, we tell you frankly that
there are $50 Electoral Votes that we confidently
expect lor Clay. and the balance we don't claim
though VIC consider part OF them doubtful II
YOU can extract any consolation from this, you
are welcome to ii
