Tom Moore's magpie ascribed all its misfortunes tC
"bad company" The wings, not quite good philoso
piers as he was, attribute all their calamities to ill luck
They can scarcely for the FACT that fortune
so often against them but still they insist upon that
it is lluck, and nothing else We remember, when Mr.
Polk became distinguished able and successful
statesman the National Integencer resored to the favor
e theory and said all by his good luck And
when the wings have received Waterloo defeat in Vir-
sina, the New York Tribune says it is all luck
"There was never such of i'll luck entirely Oh one
side but purely luck, and nothing else" (See yeser-
days National lntelligencer The wing vote is better
this year than the average of the four eight
ding They have lost perhaps every wing member in the
State but one and he elected by the democrats and yet
they say it is nothing but bad luck The righteousness
of the solution is upon par with the audacty of the
assertion.
They may take our word for it, that there is much
more i'll luck in for this luckless party When the
violated pledges of the campaign shall have been fully
commended back to their own lips, they will see more OF
this i'll luck When they find the people becoming SEN
sble of the disqualification OF the President whom they
have elected, they will begin 10 complain of little more
i'll luck. When they Mr.. Clay whom they have ad
mred their idol statesman and yet set aside for gen.
era who statesman al all, bearing down upon this
administration, they will cry out again that it is purely
luck, and nothing else The wings have never thrown
themselves upon the good sense of the people They
have attempted to entrap them by numerous devices in
1910, by log cabins and hard cder-n 1874 by doggerel
songs and the Yaler Kiver" In ls4s they have run
military man, although he modestly confessed his own
want OF qualifications, and professed his determination
to rise above all party considerations in the admnstra
ton of the government Though by this device they OBJ
tanned some of the democratic votes TO unite with the
whgs and thus elected him to the responsible Office
in the world. they will also complain of i'll luck if he and
his cabinet should break down in twevemonth.

TELEeRApHIc MANIPuLAToR.-Mr. w S. Thorn

men, and its results were in the highest degree sat

pleased at its success, affording, it does,

Professors Morse and o'Reily.
A CIsoIsSATI ONSIBUs.-The omnibus ''Reli-
ance,' from Cincinnati, drawn by six fine horses,
arrived here Saturday, and liveried at the
Franklin stables. The omnibus brought on the
proprietor and his family, who travelled by this
conveyance from the "pork city" via Lanesville,

ANOTHER MARTYR.-There is more work for the
Free Press, and other Locofoco organs. Another
prominent Locofoco is minus his official head.
More tears must be shed-General Taylor must
continue to be denounced for "proscription for
opinions sake"-the martyrs must be defended.
We mentioned case, day two since, of To-
cofoco ex-postmaster in the western part of this
State who is defaulter to the tune of from one to
ttpO thousand dollars, whose removal the Locofocos
thought an outrageous thing in General Taylor.
As he is real dyed-in- the wool Locofoco, they
wished to have him retained, in order to have all OF
the receipts of his office for political purposes. But
General Taylor, caring more about the "good OF
the country than Locofocoism, gave the gentle
man leave of absence, and placed man in his
stead who will pay over to the government what
justly belongs to it. The last case refer to is the
following
GA Mr.. Nicely, one of President Folks postmas-
tiers at Hampshire, in Lewis county, has been
proved guilty of breaking open letters coming to
his office, and taking money or its equivalent
therefrom to the amount of three or four hundred
dollars. He has taken leg bail. "-Mdury Tenn. }
Intelligencer.
We are afraid the Locofocos have overlooked this
case, for We have waited three days without seeing
any of their presses come up to his defence, and
therefore publish it for their benefit We hope they
will not turn the cold shoulder on "poor Nicely -
it will be ungrateful If they do, it will be on the
ground, doubtless that he has nun a,cay icithout
dividing the spoils.- Detroit AdUertiser, I7h.
