particularize, some few weeks since, but the
utter lasity Of their charges having been proven,

selves with 'sglittering generalites." From their
insipid vaporings we are led TO believe, that
the insane idea Of resurrection of the Loco
foco party, in this State, at some remote time in

shouting and somersaulting, principally on faith
and fiction.

to bury all local differences or differences of

phalanx, take Up arms in favor OF the fodder

effects of the weak Cruel diet they have been
forced to subsist upon, since the Republicans
took possession OF State affairs, and cut off the
supplies they we're wont TO draw from the State
Treasury teats, hence their loud, long and pa

OF spoils in one guise, they logically conclude
they must henceforth strive after them in ano-

another, as one after another fails or grows i'm
potent, in the hope, that the divinity Of success
may, by chance, be propitia.ed. Having failed

State, and having no better hopes Of success, if
their energies we're devoted to the maintain

Scott decision" they are all at once silent and
grim on these questions, but are troubled with
dlarrhua of words in relation to the fodder
question. They feel orful bad about the pecu-
