c1ssriy that the dead corpse Of locofocoisn
Aas not been even galranissd into the
slightest spasmodic indications of vitslity.
but on the contrary, that the recent extra
ordinary efforts Of the galpanizcrs have on
y demonstrated the utter impossibilty of
rsssssatating the party.
Never within our recollection, have such
strenuous efforts been put forth in the va.
Sious portions of the State by the locofoco
leaders to carry the county elections. and
nsver before have these efforts so signally
failed.
Take fifteen Of the populous counties in
body in the southeastern part Of tie
State, and from which we have definite re.
turns as fair sample Of the condition of
thugs throughout the State, and what a
melancholy picture is exhibited for the
contemplation Of their leaders. in the ut
TER overthrow and disruption Of their party.
Of these fifteen counties, Lee and JEFF
erson alone have elected the entire Demo-
cratic ticket and they by meagre majorities,
while in old Van Burcn and Marion. the
banner county of whiskey and locofocoism,
tho election was drawn battle, each par
ty electing portion Of their ticket. And
in the remaining eleven counties, a majori.
~ Of which have hitherto been reliable

been beaten by overwhelming majori,ies.
Locofocoism must be reduced to a low
ebb in Iowa and the locofoco leaders sunk
10 fathomless depth in the slough Of
lcspond," to find matter of graduation in
the result OF the recent electisn.And to be
able to comfort their hearts and buoy up
their hopes with the fact that they have re
timed their preponderance in Lee by a
mere fraction. while their other old strong
holds. Davis and Appanosse, Monroe. Ma
rion, Keokuk and Des Moines. have cast
such tremendous majorities against them.
This 'kght glance a, the utter rout of
the locofoco cohorts of Iowa will answer
for the present. The official report of the
battle will show tLa: there is ouly here and
there shattered corps of their once tri-
umphant host, saved from destruction in
the terrible defeat which they have sus.
tanned.
