with the most unbounded enthusiasm; and .
were sy_faPosed to imitate the example
of some of our Locofoco cotetiapoiaries, we
might fill our sheet Weekly . with laudatory

great Harrison party of die "Keystme . •

will actia.S . one roan in the coming contest.
The only danger'is, that inactivity. will
creep upon us—that shameful 'apathy, (the
rock upon which VC:sometimes split> will
again take possession of our friehds. The
leaders: Of . the Locofoeos, always active;
. have Succeeded in patching up a holloW
truce between the "barn-burners" and the'
true friends of_Goveerfor PORTER, Which
will probably not be brokeir by 'either of the .

' We must; therefore, - be - watchful; ac
tive-and ,thitiriit.irk our efforts to elect Alai
Banks and defeat his opponent. We' will
have to contend against a wily and expe

All, then, that we require is a tboiough
organization. Let every man do. his duty;

last summer pervades our rik4, our efforts
Wilk again he crowned with, a brilliant vic-
tory.
ti "As the 'contest for Governor will
probably be a pretty warm one, ataa.gQ4
deal of abuse inielged in on both - side's, we
respectfully 'suggest to the Locofoco Edi
tors the propriety of procuring from his
Excellency,.at an- early day, a pardon for
all the -slanders and libelsftbey may utter
during the .canvass.-- - Such a course' would
tend to prevent many a foolish Whig from
spending his time and money in instituting
suits, and:. teach him to "grin and bear"
with becoming fortituile. Try it, gentle
men; 'twould save a world of tiouble.
It will be remembered that Mr. VAN

summarily dismissed from office Generals
