There was no regular opposition to Wm. Potts for School Commissioner. Mr. Potts in :he County received 1348 votes, Saml. Goudie 47; for County Commissioner E. Barber received 1407, A. Cregmile 47; for Coroner, F.
Grasswmck received 1324. J. J. Templeton 30,
O. Oolescott 26. From the above table it will be seen there
jrere about 2150 votes cast in the county. At
flie Presidential Election there were polled
303 votes. Our natural increase (and by nat
uralization) must be near one hundred in two
tears, which will show 250 votes unpolled at
his time. It is probable these votes may be
iivided between the two parties. At the Nov.
Election 1840 the loco foco vote in the county

LOCOFOCOISM.
As there has been an effort in this region to
make the Whigs believe that the Locofoco party arc good and true Tariff men, we insert the following articles which indicate the feelings and sentiments of that party : The Tariff. Gouge, in his Journal of Banking, says: "Let the currency question be properly settled, and the tariff question will give us no trouble. So long as our present paper money system lasts, no protective tariff can be effected; because just in proportion as the duties are raised on imports, will the banks increase their issue, and just in that proportion will imports increase and exports diminish. Give us hard money and no protective tariff will be necessary." These are our sentiments exactly. Give us a hard money currency, and we shall have no
need of bankrupt laws, and less use for jails, poor-houses, and benevolent and charitable institutions. Bay State flew.
The next legislature. From what we can
learn of the election which took pi ace on Mon-
hy hist, we would suppose the next Legislaiwre will be decidedly loco foco.
Rush County has elected I.owe, Brown and i less loathsome, scarcely less terrible.
A voice from the icork shop. The present federal humbug of a high tariff, says the Bay State Democrat, is pretty well understood by
the laboring classes, whom the Federalists attempted to decievc into a belief that it is for their benefit: '-Talking with a mechanic upon
this subject the other day, he expressed himself to us as follows: "How we are to be benefitted by taxing us more upon what we eat and drink and wear, I cannot see; but how it will put money into the pockets of the rich manufacturers, by giving them a chance to charge higher prices for their goods, is plain enough. I for one am tired of such flummery, and think it high time that the rich be left to take care of themselves, without the special favor ofgovern-ment."

THE HOME LEAGUE HUMBUGGERS. The system which these protectionists would establish among us is the English system. The system that builds poor houses and fills them with paupers.

"It is a fact well ascertained, that Joe Smith
has, for some days back, been laying in a large amount of ammunition at the city of Nauvoo.
The avowed object of this preparation for war, on the part of the Mormons, is to defend themselves by force against any legal process call
ing for the surrender of Joe Smith and the assassin who shot Gov. Boggs. They admit that the disclosures of Bennett will result in a re
quisition on the part of the Governor of Missou

a man of great simplicity of character, on entering, found four men seated on the floor playing cards. These who seemed scarcely to notice his arrival, he passed by to where the wife of the proprieter of the mansion was sitting, who very soon engaged him in conversation. Among other questions usually propounded, she asked, "What mout your business in these parts be, stranger ?" "I am hunting the lout sheep of the house of Israel," replied the Parson. "Old man! old!" cried the woman to her husband, "old man, I ,say, Pie lay 'any thing that

The minister was forced to explain, whereupon, gazing at him with an air of curiosity and astonishment , she rose to her feet and exclaimed "A preacher! well, you're the fustcriur of that sort as was ever asackly in these parts afore, as I've seen but maybe you'de like to take a dram stranger ?" "No, madam, I never drink:" "Never drink! well rait!" The men during this dialocuc. continued
