HON. ANDREW STEWART.

II has afforded much qualification to the friends
Of Mr.. Stewart, residing in this District, to find
that he has been reelected member of tho
Pennsylvania delegation, to represent the XVIIIth
District of the Keystone State in the ensuing
Congress. His long and valuable services, and
his able and untirng advocacy of the American
system Of protective industry, have given to the
name OF Andrew Stewart celebrity throughout
he Union, which every impartial or liberal mind
will readily acknowledge. The regular CORE
spondent Of the Baltimore Clipper truly says:
"The people of this District, generally, arc
much gratified to hear of Mr.. Andrew Stew arts
election for the district including Greene. Fay
ette, and Somerset counties, in Pennsylvania.
MIR. Stewart il warm friend to the District, and
an able advocate Of the tariff. No member Of
Congress is more thoroughly acquainted with
that important question, in all its aspects and
bearings; and the reelection of such man is
hailed with pleasure by the Wings in general
and Of this District in particular

McNULTY,S BOAST.

The present clustering Locofoco Clerk Of the
House Of Representatives, c. J. McNulty, ran fol
Congress at the recent election in Ohio in de.
cided Locofoco district, and yet was defeated by
Wing We heard, month since, that McNulty
had written to his Locofoco brethren in this city
that he had polled his entire district, and then
had the evidence of his election, by 400 majority,
in his breeches pocket. We are inclined to think
that he will have to tumble long time in his
breeches pocket, before he can find there suf6-
cient evidence to procure his certificate Of cleo
ton with Ohios great seal appended thereto. In
the three counties composing his district he ran
behind his partys ticket, according to the returns
in the Baltimore Sum- as follows In Franklin,
2l2; in Knox, 203; in Licking, 2l7 The ma
jority for Tod, the Locofoco candidate for Cover
nor, in the district is 523, and yet Delano, Wing,
beats McNuty, Locofoco, for Congress 1909!

The wings Of Eastern Mississippi, and some Of
the bordering counties Of Alabama, held Mass

From the Detroit Daily Advertiser
THE COALITION CONFIRMED.

We have ample confirmation of the nomination
Of James G. Birney for Representative by the Lo-
cofocos of Saginaw county, and that it was done
with his consent and appreciation, previously OBJ
tanned. Both are established facts.
ls,. The North Star, Of October Sd, published
at Saginaw, now before US, contains the official
proceedings of the Locofoco County Convention,
signed "A. Miller, Chairman" and ct. M. Wa
teri, Secretary" These proceedings give the
ticket nominated, all of them Locofocos, and at
the head, +" for Representative, James G. Brney."
Among the other nominees are Gardner D. Will
liams, for Associate Judge, w. L. P. Little, for
County Clerk, Albert Miller for Judge of Pro-
bate, all thorough going Locofocos.
I'd. We have also the following extract from
business letter received by mercantile firm in
this city from gentleman Of the first respecta-
bility in Saginaw:
flames G. Brney is nominated by the Demo-
Gratis or Locos Of this County for their candidate
in the ensuing election for the Legislature. Mr.
Birney solicited the nomination, and when the
meeting Of delegates was convened, the gentle
man to whom he had stated his desire for such
nomination, stated to the meeting tina, Mr.. Br-
ney had told him he was Democrat in principle,
and ,oould, i elected, support Democratic men and
measures.
Upon this representation of one of the most in
fuental and candid Democrats in the county,
Mr.. Birney received the nomination of the party.
Consistency, thou art jewell The President
THAT is to be) allows himself to become the body
OF the embodiment of that party who cries out
Annexation and Dorrism. We can understand
from what motive and through what influence his
abuse has been heaped upon Clay. hope the
good cause prospers with you've are all alive
here on the subject"
Here are the facts. They arc plain and ire
sistible. Mr.. Brney is shown to be coalcscing
with the Locofocos for seat in the State Legis-
lature, and promising them, if elected to support
Democaatic men and measures Nay, he author
ICES Locofoco to say in the Locofoco Conven-
ton, that he is "a Democrat" in principle.

THE EMPIRE CLUB.

II noticing, few days ago, the resolution
passed by the New York Empire Club of Loco
foco ruffians, to 60 into New Jersey and attend
the polls to detect illegal voting, we said that we
should wait with some Impotence to learn what
kind Of reception the Jersey Blues would give
them The Tribune of yesterday says:
"The Wings Of New Jersey tender the COM
pliments of the season to the Empire Club Com
mittees, kindly sent over to watch their polls, and
keep out illegal votes. When sufficiently rested
from their arduous labors, the Jersey Wings
would like report from the Empires as to the
success Of their patriotic exertions."

3O5 Loco gain in 10 counties

They tell story on General Cass which is
not only good, but, what is much better true
The General was making speech in Columbus,
Ohio, few days ago, when he took occasion to
vent his Indignation at Wing embelns, poles,
fage, coons, and all. While he was expressing
his contempt for all such insults to the under.
standings of the people, two large wagon loads
OF hickory passed before him in the State house
yard, covered with hickory bushes and little mus
lin flags. MIstaking them for Wing devices, he
pointed TO them, and pronounced the spectacle
dlsgraceful in the last degree. Said he, 81 have
been among Indians, but | never saw anything
so degrading and contemplate even among Them"
The Generals face must have been unusually
interesting when he was informed that these wa
CONS were loaded with Locofoco arguments.

The returns from Georgia received by last eve-

again arrayed under the banner of the Wing
party at the present election. The election is for
members of Congress, by districts, being the first
tofore voting by general ticket. The vote cast
appears to be small, and slightly decreases the

ton in 1643, when Messrs. Stephens and Chap
pel were elected to fill Misunderstanding the

THE ELECTIONS.

The cheering returns from the State elections
in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Ohio, and Georgia,
place the success Of the Wings in the Presiden-
.ial contest beyond all controversy. If the result,
Of these skirmishes had been different-if the
Locofocos had carried Pennsylvania by anything
approaching to their contemplated majority, they
would then have struggled hard and died hard
upon the great Geld for the Presidency. But de-
feated in New Jersey, Ohio, and Georgia, and
probably in Pennsylvania, they will find greal
dfficulty in rallying their forces in November.

SATURDAY EVENING, ocTR u, 1874.
HOW ARE you NOW, CAPT. TYLER!

Several gentlemen, from different sections Of
the country, called on Capt. Tyler at the White
House on Thursday evening, and found His Ac-
cidency in very differen. spirits from those which
had made him sombre and sad all the day. He
informed one of them that he felt remarkably
we'll. for no had just received the news of the
election of his particular friend Thompson, as
Governor Of New Jersey by two or three thou
sand votes majority! In addition, he said, Penn
sylvania was going for the Republican Party"
handsomely. Ohio would follow suit, and the
vhole country was going wih rush against
Clay!
Pray how do you feel now, Captain! Have
you heard that gallant and glorious New Jersey
repudiates your very particular friend, Thomp-
son, the brother-in -law Of Capt Stockton, that
other very particular friend Of yours! Where
are your numerous friends in New Jersey, led on
by Stockton. Thompson, Green, and Zabriskie !!
And echo answers, with the Captain, ,0hsre !!
Where are the fruits Of the great Tyler and Lo-
cofoco coalition in New Jersey! ,a.
But how cruel we are to thus disturb the Cap
tain's reverie! We ought, perhaps, to let him
dream on and hope on until the 4th of March
next, and then, il he will, pass on quietly, and
between two days, to his retirement at Williams
burg, there to spend the remainder Of his days in
the enjoyment of such remorse as may visit him.
