As it is, the Locofocos have lost consider
able clap of thunder, and the boys can only
chant, as we notice from their papers they

giant classic song:
"Old Joe kicking up behind and before.
And Summers he's a kicking up behind Old joe"
If the position of parties indicated by

ANOTHER FUGTTvE RETURNING TO SLAVERY -
The writer OF these lines was. few weeks
since, in late train Of cars bound from the North
10 the city Of New York. About midnight his at
bntion was ARE sted by the words OF some gentle
men behind him, in conversation with female
voice. On looking around, he perceived that the
female was a mulatto woman, about tweu'y hive
years of age, with an ingenious and pleasing face,
whom he had observed TO enter the cars early IN
the evening. with a large bundle tightly bound up,
IL she were traveller. II appeared that che had
inquired 81 some Of the gentlemen where she could
hnd resting place in the city for the night, ana
how she could get forwarded on her way south
the next day This led 10 some inquiries on their
part, in answer 10 which she stated that she had
left her master in Marylant and reached New York,
some months before, where, along with some other
fugitves, she hsd been taken care OF by a gentle
man in that neighborhood, whom she mentioned,
and had been forwarded by him 10 Canada. She
reached Canada, the Canaan of her hopes, late IN
the autumn, and there found herself IN the cold,
In The midst of thousands Of emiersnts, who pre-
occupied every Kind Of employ ment; and she found
withal that, instead Of having home that she

Total denciency..s so1 S<s
Our returns from lllinsis. Missouri, and Iowa are
az yet menPre but we believe the deficiency IN
those States will be greater than the aggregate in
Ohio, Indiana, Kentucky, and Tennessee. A let
ter from a highly reliable source ai Lafayette, in.
forms us that the hogs have been drawn from
much greater distance In Illinois, toward the Wa.
bash, than IN any previous season. THIS accounts,
in part, for the comparatively small deficiency ia
the business in the Wabash valley. We have
placed the falling oil in weight at ten per cent and
that we believe is a very low estimate.

HIM that he need not pay these debts, but he
WOULD take care OF his moncy. Accordingly Owen
trusted Patrick, and dropped the wallet in the
