AMI STILL THEY O

The Louisville Journal states that Judge
Mckinley, formerly a Locofoco U. S. Sem
ator from Alabama, and now Judge of the
Supreme Court Of the United States, and a
resident of Louisville, is in favor of Mr.. Clay.
He thinks that Mr.. Clay's election to the
Presidency is demanded by the great inter-
ests of the country.
John C. Haswell, editor of the Vermont
Gazette, published for the last fifty years at
Bennington, W., and well known heretofore
as one of the most violent Locofoco journals
of thai State, refuses TO adhere 10 the nomi-
nation Of Polk and Dallas sand has taken
down their names from the head of his pa
per, where they were placed during his alb
Gen. Thomas C. Miller, recently a loco
foco State Senator from Adams county,
Pennsylvania, who a few years since was
escorted TO the Capitol by his Locofoco
friends with a great flourish and parade, has
written a long letter in reply 10 one from
the Hon. JohntReed, chairman Of the Wing
Central Committee, in which the General
states that he is in favor of the tariff of lS42
and Wing measures generally. He con-
cludes his letter by saying that his course in
the present contest will be TO support meas
ures instead of men, and indicates clearly
that he has repudiated Polk and Dallas, and
will give his earnest support for Clay and
Frelinghuysen.
The Hon. Minthrone Tompkins, son OF
the late Vice President Tompkins, 1--WE learn
from the Brooklyn Star,O has openly declared
his intention to oppose Mr.. Folks election
and, what is better, he is backed by nine OF
his %neighbors, all men of standing and infu-
ence, who were lately members of the Lo-
%cofoco party. Mr.. Tompkins, it may be
well also to remark, wasa State Senator who
was taken up by the Locofoco party because
lofhis great popularity, and was elected, al
though the district then was Whiggish in
politics.
