 TRsLOcO FOcOs rs. Tammany Han Vea Bursnisss,- These two brapches of the great democratc famy'' aEegettng iaels D Ioggereads in te state of New. York; more Especially in the city. Mir. Van Bursn's nOn-eomDttal twaddling letter, which he addressed to some leaders of the loco focos, appeaD to be very uhsatsfactOry, and he isdenOunced in good set terp by part of them. They asked for candid, fsA exposition of ssntmenls from him, but they re- cAved nothing but fair specimen of his jesuitical manner of evading anexpressiou of his opinion. The committee who wrote to him also addressed letters to sundry other distineushed dsmoerats,'' and among the test to Hon. Samuel Young, of Saratoga county, requesting him ito saIer his name to be used against the spdils eandiaate for Governor to this Mr. Y re- Pled and in which among other choice things he says that "IgisEation Gin New-York has become the su6iect efbargGiR and saIc, of vENAIlrY AND coRRurr1oN"- Having been good deal in the legislature, and acted with the party, he probably speak expermentaly The committee make a reply to his letter, in which they speak in the following manner of the leaders of the democratic party' in the empire state :-
 "The open leaders, the secret movers of the party and their minions, comprise body of men whose po litical tpitude it would be difficult to parallel in any age or country. They have used the party for their own selfish purposes and are either at the head or participating in the egaized spells of every existing monopoly. The chartered democrats, with the assis office, and the akno.on usares, can always caucus and packthe General and Nominating Committees to promote ghe objects of arstocracy. lnfact the Ham, il.onan bmng gov on sesnter trated by the leaders of the democracy of this State, who have constantly professed and constantly dis regarded the political doctrines of Jefferson, the found- CT ot the original democratic party.

 &eralsts nonopol;sts and corruponists tostered The Capitol las long been manufactory of stocks for gambling, at the expense of the rights and welfare of the peoples and the administrative departments of the State have exhbited the spectacle of concoeting and delivering democratic message, without the v'r tue consistency of acting in accordance with their own maxiYns and recommendations.
 Could the honest democracy witness all these dre- fetcns of public duty, violations of principle abuses any longer in the seistyed democratic party without strengthening this mass of moral and political iniqu ty? It could not and therefore has totally seeded from Tamlnany Halls Tammany leaders and Tam. many usages.
 Upon the publication of this the Albany Argus, the mouhp:ece ofMr. Van Bmen and his party, |" falls to cursing like very drab," denounees the whole con- cen loco focos and "aposate democrats and cle ses it's beautiful article in the following clever terms We shall keep an eye upon the movements of these different branches of the democratic fanaily.''
 "This is the language of faction which, assuming to be more democratic than those who have sustained the against every assault of Bankism Fed eralsm and Ratification, will be found, we do not doubt in the ranks of the federal and bank arsocracy, and in opposition to the democratic party, long before the present campaign shall have closed"
 The Times, as well as some of its humble slaves in various parts of the state still continues to harp upon the circumstance that sundry of the whig papers do not occupy their columns with the name and praises ef Gen. Harrison their candidate for the Presiden. cy, and undertakes to give ex reasons for this jug neglect. Itconcerns very tde what these folks may think or believe, whether consider Gen. HAR- RrsoN, Mr. WEBSTER, or Judge WMrE the better nan for that high oficewe consider either of them at an immeasurable advance from MT. Van BGren in an the qualifications requisite for statesman, and consequently for the station to which they have been nominated. Gen. Harrison we esteem as an honora- ble, highminded man-as statesman who would do credit to any staton-and politician honest. can did. and of course worthy. Mir Webster consider possesses all these qualifications with the addition of . mind superior to any other candidate named S6i, should feel proud to sec Gen. Harrison raised to the first office in the nation. We have no doubt he would administer the affairs of government to the sat- isactiou of a except the greedy seekers of @spols; and we would freely give him our humble suffrage in preference to the dandy pet. We want o1ordiy dan dies followed by retnue of servants in English live Jy, to rule over the freemen of this country. M
