Indiana cents per month FT WAYNE PEOPLE'S PRESS Bancroft has been induced much against his will as it is said to accept the Locofoco nomination fpr Governor of Massachusetts Maicus Morton positively declined the honor of being beaten He has been a candidat for nearly twenty years in succession and was twice elected for 1841 by one majority each time It are being held in not with what truth that Many of the Locofocos in different parts of the country are urging an extra session of Congress and it is said Tyler is rather inclined to it himself It would to be sure be a real sop for the Locofoco Congressmen and others but what advantage to the There surely is no need of an extra session as the regular session is only three months off But the pretext is that Mexico has borrowed a few millions of dollars in England or somewhere else and these wiseacres assume that it is the object to invade the United States More bald barefaced folly was never hatched in an ad- brain in the canvass for 1841 we believe that was was he was actually beaten by itao votes Edward Everett was the opposing candidate and because of ill-health and a desire to travel did not care for the of- fice When the votes were counted by a Whig committee and the result was known a ber remarked Since we have got both houses and Morton can do us no harm let's so arrange the votes as to give him one it will fe i joke The report was made cordingly and Morton was made In came in again by a majority of one New York and elsewhere to consider the sub- ject of postage reform We hope to see them become universal over the

their chicken he may witness the consummation of flutter and crow at a great rate I f they save themselves by a mere trifle as in Missouri they rejoice equally loud that it is no worse 1 f they arc totally overthrown as in Indiana Kentucky North Carolina and elsewhere they swear terribly that they will succeed in November nnd straightway fall to work to prove it by ures Well there is philosophy in this course and they will all they can command be- those great measures before he goes hence It that their accomplishment is to give rest to his troubled and enable it to depart in peace We have never heard of a spirit that needed so many sacrifices to allay its restlessness as this one Jackson's Atlas is an excellent paper Keep a stiff upper is j It is conducted on true percussion principle

and with a proper gard for your own self respect not in the ner of bullies and blackguards have taken a sudden rise in all the stores in consequence of the demand Among the to cipher out Locofoco Victories in Indiana Kentucky and North Carolina They have all fallen to studying arithmetic for dear life The smaller kind such as Smith's answer very far but when they hear from New York

A bridge in to bo built across tho Licking opposite Cincinnati out thunder about these days IT ROUND That the whigs arc opposed to tho One Day flection because it would do away will he iniquitous system o by which hey hope again to succeed as in 1840 ass it round also that a Democratic House of passed the but a Whig Senate rejected Bedford Register Aye pass it round also as an anti- dote to the falsehood in the first part of the that the Locofocos are the who have always profited by the iniquitous system of and that they have themselves always by force and fraud by numbers Pass it round also that the reason why i Whig Senate rejected the was because i1 was passed by the house just at the icel of the late session and would have ved the necessity of an extra session of the Legislature in nearly or quite every Slate in he Union at an immense expense before the Presidential election Pass it round also that tho Locofoco house mew very well that the Whig Senate would reject the for the foregoing reasons 01 they never would havo passed of the Locofocos boasting that they had tho Whigs the on that question is said that tlie Chinese are as fond ol Sage as a beverage as we are of their Teas and would exchange two chests for one In some parts Sage was formerly used is Tor Tea It is doubtless quite as though to our taste less agreeable If an exchange trade could tie opened with tlie Chinese lie cultivation of Sage might a lucrative employment aod ob- viate the necessity of purchase of cargoes We hope some one engaged in lite China trade will try the experiment on a small A lew
