of demagogues the whole State is now cut up into
fractions Of parties and what may be the result
in consequence both Wings and Locos have their doubts
and fears. In this City have three candidates Tor
Congress-Whg Native and Loco; and four tickets for
the Legisisture-Whig Loco. Temperance and Native.
The Temperance ticket will probably carry about one
