Senators and Representatives.

We had no election of State officers by the
people last year, and the Polk gentry of our
State calculate there will be none this.
And in view Of this state of things they are
straining every nerve, and using all manner
of deceit and double games, to divide the
Wings on the Senatorial Tickets, and on
Town Representatives; and we hear of their
chuckling already ofthe cunning way they
think they shall succeed in catching Wings in
their "gull traps But we guess they will
find that Wings "know thing or two" G.
nough to let those arch contrivers fall into
their own snares. So let it be. Let these
cunning locos fall into their own traps.
ANY thing to elect the .Aryid Dodger. They
know the people despiso his trucking, dodg-

world upside down to secure Senators and
Representatives enough to elect him Govern

TIVE SLAVE HOLDERS WAR.

! The Northern locos complain bitterly of the
Wings, because they will not join hands with
the South in unfolding and justifying this UNI
holy war. 1t is not enough that the Wings
must be taxed TO sustain contest which they
regard as entirely unnecessary, and that num-
bcrs of them are required by Government to
expose their lives and shed their blood in a.
war for the extension of slavery, which they
abhor. To satisfy the fastidious locos they
must also join in the cry Of commentator Of
the President and all his measures, or be re-
gnrdcd as giving aid and comfort to the Next
cans, The President may give orders TO our
blockuding forces, TO allow the return Of Santa
Anna, and thus place at the head ofthc Mcxi-
can government one of the greatest military
chei>ains of the age, and all is right. No aid
and comfort is given to the Mcxcans by send
ing them general, well skilled in the arts Of
war, and whose very name would inspire them
with confidence. No aid and comfort is rem.
dcred to the McXcans by the slaughter of
thousands -four soldiers in consequence ofthc
return Of Santa Anna, through the direction
Of President Polk. Had the Mcxicans not

1t is a Bugbear,

And very mean one too, for any body to
assert that Gen. TaylOr is the Wing candidate
for the Presidency. But few northern Wing
papers prefer him-and only a small portion
of the Southern Wing papers do so.
We look upon Judge MCLEAN, of Ohio, as
the most prominent Wing candidate, and as
becoming more so every day.
