Mr. Birney and the Locofocos.-The De-
troit Daily Advertiser says the nomination Of
Mr. Birney by the Locos OF Saginaw county
fer the Michigan Assembly, creates great SEN
sation among those who have heretofore been
his ardent supporters. The eyes of hundreds
are now opened which have before been sealed
against the light. They find him openly Goa
escing with the Locofoco party, and they can
not resist the evidence of their own SENSES
They held back, indeed. as long as they could,
but the official proceedings of the Locofoco
Convention removed all doubts.
In regard to the efforts making by some of
the Abolition leaders, who have taken the a.
larm, TO induce Mr. Birney to decline, the Adj
vertSer says 't is too late. Mr. Brney avow-
ed his intention OF accepting the nomination
before il was made, to too many individuals TO
resort 10 that subterluge. Leading Abolition
lists themselves can and will be summoned to
the stand, il any such afier-thougM is attempt
ed TO be passed off on the public. We speak
by the card.'
The same paper further says:-'An intimate
friend from Saginaw, has just assured us that
Mr. Birney's consent TO run as the Locoloco
candidate for Representative, is notorious there.
A Mr. Garland, as the friend of Mr. Birney,
went into the convention, and gave pledges as
to his course, if elected. Troy Whtg.
| Birney al albany. G. Birney has
openly taken the stump for Polk and Dallas,
Free Trade and Texas. He harrangued the
people of Albany on Friday night, (Oct. 1879
abusing Henry Clay, and solt-soaping Polk, in
a style that was remarkably agreeable to the
Locos. He told his hearers that he should
hold on to the nomination by the Michigan Lo-
cos, in spite of lamentations here and else
where He also assaulted and villfed John @.
Adams as an enemy TO the cause of emancpa-
ton!
TO show what some Abolitionists think of
! Mr. Brney, we will merely state that sixteen
of the leading Aboiionisis of Albany have
published card in which they renounce him
and declare their intention TO vote for HESRy
CLAY.-Ibid.
Mr. Birney and the Locos-1He Bargain
Proved.-There can no longer be the slig htest
doubt that full and complete alliance has been
entered into between Mr. BIRNEY, the abolition
candidate for President, and the Locoloco par
ty. In the Detroit Advertiser of Tuesday, OF
last week, we find the sworn statement of Mr.
w. S. Briggs to the effect that on the 2sth OF
September last, in pursuance of an agreement
made with the party leaders in Saginaw coun-
~, Michigan, Mr. BIRNEY was nominated as
their candidate for the State Legislature, by a
regular convention of the Locofoco party at
Saginaw City, having previously authorized a
friend, who was member Of The convention,
10 express his willingness 10 ACCEPT the
nominntion.-Buf. Com. Ado.
The following is from the Baltimore Sun Of
/ Friday last:
Frantic afair.-Tbe immersion of converts
to Millerism took place again yesterday alter
noon, in the Falls, and one OF the candidates, a
; female, after baptism, became so violently ex-
cited that il was only by great exertion that
al h.. hAr hot
her and himself from a second plunge head
long into the stream. On getting to the shore,
it became necessary for others to hold her, I'M
Ill she tainted and sunk away senseless with ex-
hausion, and was borne into neighboring
house. We have heard Of several instances OF
pecunary sacrifices of a truly lamentable char
acer, involving irretrievably the means OF iu-
ture subsistence.
"An Observer" will be attended 10 next week.
