+ They 1.-THE democrats began to halloo be-
fore they were out Of the woods, this time.
And they made great noise too.-Last
Hawkeye.
Well, they didn't make half the "noise''
that you did, old boss; but as your party
are decidedly in the woods now, and do
not need the article, we propose to borrow
your thunder on long credit; that is, pay
able when you have need for it again.
While it remained so doubtful the
Wigs were silent.-Hawkeye.
Pity they hadn't kept their mouths shut
little longer.
Their the democrats screams of vic
tory echoed from Dubuque to Keokuk.--
Hawkeye.
And echo answered back again from the
whig press, s'Great! Glorious!! Harlan
is elected ~" Echo only made slight
mistake in the name; that's all.
| If Mr.. Benton had been elected, there
would have been no end to the growing Of
| the leaders Of locoiocoism.--IIaw
| But there has, ere this, been an end to
your Growing. Even now it is gone, like
the morning cloud and the early dew.
Hencelorward Mr.. Harlan will be the
acknowledged Superintendent Of Public
Instruction for the State Of Iowa.-Hawk-
eye.
Yes, stree, "mid clashing swords and
cleaning steel,'' if he don't alter his mind,
and concludes not to ''breast the rugged
front of war" back to Indiana.
But we have no disposition to crow over
a .talisn toe.-Hawkeye.
Well, now, come to think of it, we in
cline very slightly to the opinion that we
wouldn't either, if we were in your stu
alton. But you are too clever; the natu-
raj kindness of your disposition will be
the ruination Of you yet.
Well, the people have spoken, and the
democracy are again dissatisiied.-Last
Standard.
Guess not, neighbor; we're quite well
satisfied with the result, thank you. Must
have meant the democratic whigs," did mt
you?
Our neighbors The ''locofocos"1 ,coa.ld
have displayed their chickens to the best
advantage, and that same old Coon to the
very worst.-Standard.
Now the gerry acorst "display" we have
seen made of "that same old Coon'' for
many day, was that made by the Hawk
eye, Standard. and Herald, in announcing
their supposed triumph. They have shown
conclusiyely, in this instance, at least, that
| it is the nature of the animal to turn and
bite the hand which has fed him.
We are enabled to congratulate the
friends Of justice throughout the land up
on this most glorious result. Herald.
So are ne.
Now remember; we do not claim this as
a wing victory; but simply victory of the
whole people over fraud, folly, faction and
audacity.-Herald.
Thems our sentiments, exactly; you'll
make good locofoco yet, Stout, if you
continue to express such sentiments
victory over fraud, folly, taciion and au-
dacdy!"
The fog was not yet cleared away, before
general houl proclaimed Locoioco VIC
tory. How sadly are these shouts wasted.
Next time, gentlemen, take the matter
cool-don't get excited; but prepare your
selves to bear your defeat or success with
dignity-won't you?-Herald.
| We won't do nothing shorter;" but
really, now, Stout, you shouldn't talk so
cross to us when we are down. Notwith-
standing this, we've put the best face on it,
and take pleasure in assuring the univer-
sal wing party Of Iowa, that at this pres
ent writing,we feel as calm as summers
morning. We even doubt whether kick
from othe despotic heel Of unmitigated 10
eofocoism' would disturb our equanimity.
