GPNothing gives surer or more salts
factory evidence of the political prospects
in this State than the exceeding bitterness
and desperation in which the canvass is
conducted by our opponents. Like men
conscious of the critical danger in which
they are placed, they eagerly clutch at ev-
cry little trife, connected or not with the
great issues legitimately belonging 10 the
present contest, which can be distorted
by misrepresentation or exaggeration into
any thing like charge against the Wing
candidates. Every thing is laid under
contribution; al means, fair and foul, il
seems are to be rcsorted se, to ward of,
If possible, the expected disaster. The
Locofoco State Committee is busily in
dieting epistle after epistle to the faithful
throughout the State-the LOcofoco Press
is made to TEEN with the most vindictive
assaults upon the character of our candl-
daies-while the mails throughout every
portion Of the State are crammed with ex-
tIas, and circulars, and documents, con-
tanning the most bitter invectives against
the Wing party, and urgent appeals to
the democracy to rouse themselves to a
sense Of ''the iminent danger that threat
ems the party ia the Old keystone State. -
The CHESTS Of long forgotten and antigua
ted issues-"Alien and Sedition Laws
''Blue light Federalism" sNew England
Treason National Bank" "Bucksho
War;" Gettysburg Tape worm," are
summoned from their graves to assist in
the work of arousing the lukewarm and
deterring the mutinous. But all, we ap.
prehend, will not do. The people of the
country have suffered long enough from
Locofoco misrule, and have long enough
been insulted by the senseless slang with
which Locofoco leaders sought to dupe
and deceive them, 10 be affected by these
desperate tricks of desperate gamesters,
otherwise than to regard them as the con-
Euisive efforts that always characterize
the last struggles of the doomed victim:
and the next election will give evidence
of "Storm" still more disastrous in its
effects upon Locofocoism than that which
last October made so sensible an impress
sion upon its leaders.-Star & Banner.

District which the Representative from Herifora,

glass; and being like an hour, glass, the gentle
man from Hertford proceeded from compa, isons
to conclusions, and declared that il seemed to him
that "the sands of Democracy were running out"
We well remember the electrical effect which
this piece of wit had upon the House, and the re-
mark made at the time in eur own private eur,
for our own private satisfaction and delight to wit
that the Wings, with all their faults, still had
Sheridan among them; but 1t did not strike US at
the time that the new law in regard to the same
District had taoo purposes to it, and that, as
