O. K. Maine! She has. ALL RIGHT! N• MISTAKE THIS TIME! That strong hold of Loco Focoism, Blaine, has come out, and enrolled her name among the States who say, “Mar— tin, off to Kindcrhook." Last week we thought it was so, but were nut certain., The Loco Foco candidate for Governor, was a very popular man, and ran far ahead of the party ticket. But all would not do. Even he is beaten; and in a State where honest Democracy has not had a foot hold fur years, the friends of that true, honest, and tried old Democrat, Wm. 11. Ilarri son. base Elected a Goveiwor, J &Majority of Congressmen, .1 Majority in the Senate, .1 alajority in the House. It is a clean sweep; and what no non of either party expected. The "tornado" has begun--it has swept over one State after another, until Ldco Focoistn is near ly "(dotard old." There is sometlii”; very strange that our Loco Foco friends cannot raise a meeting among the people. They went the other day, to Morris township, and took with theni from this town, a post coach Toad—..a ;our/eerier"— besides sev eral individouls who went in other convey ances, in all we suppose about twenty ; and when they got on to the ground, they found that it was lucky that they brought i the niret*; with them, or they would have failed egcvn. As it was, they mustered some ten or fifteen more, and had what they call a large and"immensc concourse of the people. But in order that they might not again be fooled, they migrated Witt their whole meeting of Morris, down to Alexandria, to hold another meeting the same evening. Of course, that was another "great gathering of the people"— stage lines, clam' hands, and all. K. K. The "Advocate" has filled nearly two columns, to show what a rascally vote was given by Mr. Higgins. Cannot that pa per prove in as many lines, that his own party had a large majority in the House? and if they thought it so bad, how comes it, that his own party, having the power, did not stop the measure?
