The Game OF Brag.

We have beaten the Locofocos in the last twelve
years twice to their once. But in every case,
before the election they did not admit it to be pos
sible that the Wings could make decent show.
In the famous canvass Of '40-at first Gen. Har-
rison was only allowed one State--as the canvass
proceeded, they granted him three-and some
of the more liberal Locofocos conceded it posi-.
BILE that he might receive the votes of six. That
was the utmost-and is was granted more through
charity thad from any belief that he would get
it. This same was said in IA, when Polk only
succeeded by the abolition vote Of New York,
and the Kane fraud in Pennsylvania. In '48
Taylor was allowed only three States--the idea
of his election was hooted at az the greatest alb
surdity conceivable. As to General Scott they
have been even less liberal with him than all
the rest. They have denied him single State.
Some say they had at one time thought 1t posi-
bic he might get Vernont--but that opinion is
abandoned. They allow him nothing. Taking
their past predictions, and the results that follow
ed for our guide--their allowing Harrison but
one, and his getting all but SEVENTEEN allow
ing Taylor three, and his getting less than Har-
rison--we conclude that Scott, who is denied a
single one by the Locefocos, will be allowed by
the people the whole thrty-one The signs have
an awful squirting that way.--Richmond Whig.
