horn to the Democracy. Maine always
true to locofocoism, according to the
boasts of its expounders, has at last
snapped off its idols This was ex-
pected by everybody at all posted on
the state of the Union politically; still,
locofoco orators, or substitutes for them,
have been indulging themselves on the
stump, pointing in triumphant anticipa-
ton to a great victory to be won in a
State "away down East" The glori-
Gus news for the Democracy has at last
come to hand, and 10! neither Ipsedoo-
die nor Washington, CT i'd omne genus,
are prophets to be relied on. Individu-
ais who have been in the habit of con-
gregating about the corners of Main,
Washington and Commercial streets, to
hearnow-a-days Democracy expounded,
find their opinions little awry since
the telegraph told such dolorous tale
on Tuesday last. Some of them will, of
course, stick to the last hope, still
some of the better informed Democrats
give signs of woe that all is lost. and cry
pecavi.
Some of the leading politicians of the
Douglas school have been heard to say
that but bare hope now is left for Bu-
chanan. Maine was relied on as one of
the certain Northern States for Democ-
racy, but even that staunch old COM
monwealth has abandoned the sinking
cause. Pennsylvania gives unmistaka-
BILE evidence that she will repudiate her
own son by an overwhelming vote.
As the election approaches, it grows
more and more obvious that Buchanan
cannot possibly carry single Northern
State. There are thousands of national
men in the North, but the Cincinnati
platform and the thing upon it, cannot
be sold them for national articles. They
have been fooled with such rubbish long
enough. They want something entirely
different and are bound to have it.
Some of our locofoco friends smiled
very simply a few days since when we
endeavored to impress it upon then
obtuse intellects, that Buchanan ought
|
to withdraw to insure the overthrow OF
Fremont. Since the news from Maine
has been received they smile still, but il
is changed to ghastly grin. Little
knots of the unterrifed are seen here
and there who are all at once seized
with a sudden fit of admiration for the
administration of BIillard Fillmore
Some of them go so far as to say they
always respected our candidate, and
would not grieve to see him elected
A few, too. have seen the error of their
ways in pronouncing him an abolitionist,
and now declare him sound
Now, these are signs uot to be mista-
ken. We shouldn't wonder to see some
of these men walk up to the polls on
the day of election and vote for Millard
Fillmore. They must begin to see that
the only way to beat Fremont is to throw
Buchanan overheard and support Fill
more. No doubt these dyed-in-the-
wool locofocos would come up to the
scratch hesitatingly, but then "love of
country" safety of the Union," &C..
will tempt patriots to do anything, if it
does go against the grain. They will
think as the niger did when invited to
drink by white man. After considera-
BILE hesitation, he replied, "white man
just as good as niger, especially when
a nigger's dry" and they acet together.
The invitation is not yet rendered to
the locofoeos to join us. We don't need
them. We have a clean party and do
not wish to have the flock contaminated.
We have got enough votes in this State
without them. OF course, it is a fee
country, and there can be no force used
at the ballot box to prevent the meanest
of our opponents from voting for Fill
more, so we will be obliged to submit, if
two-thirds of the unwashed vote the en-
tire American ticket, which present in
dications shew is quite likely to happen.
Men in desperate straits like to get into
numerous company for consolation
The Fillmore ranks now offer the only
refuge for souls in distress. Beggars
have gone to Abraham's bosom, perhaps
locofocos may yet nestle in clean places
among us.
