looking schooner LOCOFOCOISM, and her piratical tender DISOR­

deposited in the ballot-boxes yesterday, and a list of passengers registered
in the Poll Books, a safe passage, and no return!" (2)
1471 - H&G Oct. 11; ed:2I2 - At an early hour last evening, the Whigs who
had labored and toiled for the success of the Whig ticket filled the
Musical Hall to overflowing, to rejoice over the glorious victory they
had achieved. We never attended so joyous a meeting - one where so much
good feeling prevailed.
Speeches were made, cheers given, and it was a Bunker Hi 11 triumph.
At nine o'clock the meeting adjourned to the "Exchange" in Ohio City.
The large hall in the Exchange was filled with true-hearted Whigs.
W. Burton was called to the chair and a committee was appointed to make
out the order of exercises. The company were seated, sparkling champaigne
was upon the table, and wit and humor, and mirth and song, gave
zest and animation to the merry hearts.
