number Of persons than the locofoco Convention.

MORE LOCOFOCO MEANNESs.

The wings Of Rocheport erected a Liberty
Pole, and suspended from its top National
Flag-the Glorious Stripes and Stars. Some
days, or nights since, some locofoco stole the
flag, and the streamer which was attached 10 il
was found torn to pieces. Thus the flag under
which our independence was achieved = the Star

desecrated and tIampled under foot, by the self
styled democratic party. No wonder they rally

ANNEXATION.

The rumor published in our last, that JoHrS,
the dniiannexation candidate for President Of
Texes, had been elected, is confirmed. His ma.
ioriy is said to be about 5000. The locolocos
have been asserting for some time that the Peo'
pie OF Texas were anxious for their country TO
bo annexed 10 OURS Locofoco orators and sdi.
tors relied on this assertion, and put great EN-
phasis on it, to gain converts to their notions Of
annexation; they appealed to the people to bear
the voice OF their countrymen, their sons, ,hslr
brothers, their fathers, 10 assist them in The
great and important work of attaching their
adopted country TO the United States--and
through this me ans, some were doubtless infia'
enced 10 drop all other considerations, and cry
out for immediate annexation. The voice Of the
people Of Texas, as manifested by the vote for
President, will show them how they have been
iuped and misled, and enable them hereafter to
place proper estimate upon the assertions OF
those who have deceived them. II the assertions
Of these brawers are investigated upon other
subjects, they will be found 10 be about ss desti'
