At a Whig meeting in Otsego county, N. Y. eight individuals came forward and openly renounced Loco-focoism. Among them were Hon. I. G. Watson, formerly a Representative in the Legislature of that State, Mr. Russell, and Mr. Gallop, a soldier of the Revolution. Mr. G. accompanied his renunciation by some remarks, in which he stated that he had long been attached to the falsely so called Democratic party, but he thanked God that his life had been spared to see the error of his ways, and he now, in the face of the world publicly abandoned a party whose measures, especially the Annexation of Texas, in his opinion, were tending directly to the destruction of the prosperity and liberties of the country. The veteran took his seat amidst tremendous cheering. The assembly then adjourned to meet at the polls in November.
