We are amused with display Of figures in one
ofthe Locofeco papers in the interior, brought out
| to prove Gen Twins unpepuarity at home. The
calculator has taken the number Of votes received
by the candidate for Governor, and the Wing
| Electoral ticket, when the excitement was very
great, and determined therefrom the vote of Gen.
Irwin in Other gears, when there was less excite
ment; and because he had fewer votes it is in
ferred that he us unpopular. The author Of these
deceptive calculations knows full well that Mr..
Irwin received majorities in his district that no
other Wing Congressional candidate received;
indeed untilhe consented TO serve the district was
utterly, darkly, blindly Locofoco.
But the same paper makes out Mr.. Twins un-
popularity by another similar statement. "The
County in which he resides is opposed to him in
politics." That is true Blu, Gov. Skunk lives
in Allegheny. Now if Gen. Irwin does not re-
duce the Locofoco majority in Centre, his own
county, twice as much as Gov. Skunk reduces the
Wing majority in Allegheny, then we will confess
to the unpopularity of MIR. Irwin.
Again, the same paper
' la 1914, he was candidate for nomination
for Governor, by his own party, and it was deci-
ded against him."
We'll, that was something. General Irwin, in
1871, was one among fotn or five persons sug-
gested to the Democratic Wing Convention as
candidates for 4aomination. He ran next to the
highest and was defeated. If our Locofoco con-
temporary will tell us just the amoun! of unpopu-
lary which such fact itplies, Ire will enable us
10 say how much of the same quality is referable
to MIR. Skunk, who Oh the oery same day, of the
same year. and in the same town, met with the
same defeat by his own party, and only subse-
quently became candidate on the occasion of his
rivals DEATH
The same paper says:
"In lS47, we find him General Irvin,) running
the Iron Masters Monopoly candidate for Govern
or of Pennsylvania with all the Teryism Of the
Federal Mexican party pinned on to his coat tall"
The Iron Master, How it does offend The gorge
Of the pap-sucking Locos, to have any man pre-
scented for Office who has ever earned his bread
by the sweat of his brow. An Iron Master
mere director Of funaces Why should he be
mentioned in comparison with man who all his
life long has derived from the public crib and
never soiled his hands with rusty Iron ore, or
hardened them with the use of the plough and
hoe
Afe1icdn Party!!!Ln Is not Mr. Skunk the
partisan, the apologist, the defender the candidate
of the Santa Anna party! Is he not bound up with
the man who gave permission to that legged
scamp to pass through the American blockade,
take command of the Mexican troops, lead them
against the army ef the United States, and deal
death at Baera Vista and Cerro Gordo, to nearly
one thousand citizens of the United States1 Mr.
Skunk is the friend of the man who has permitted
this most foul act. Mr. Skunk is the candidate
of the party that while it has to bow It's head in
shame at the Infamous deed is compelled to keep
silent at the terrible charge; and the advocates of
Mr.. Skunk are so lndscreet. or feol hardy as to
mention the Mexican party. Let them, since they
choose to cali nanles digest the term "Santa Anna
and Polk party - and while they do it, let chem
pause, and remember the horrible act by which
that epithet is earned.-J. S. Gazette
