ence 10 the eternal and unchangeaoie laws "a cum
merce about year ago the loaiers ana iocoiocos
helped 10 put up prices, by their Trades ohiehs anu
strikes for wages. Now they begin to hnd Out the
folly of their conduct and like The fool VINO watches
the return of the tide on the sea shore as soon as "
was low water, started up and blustcred-" damn
your buttons you big blackguard ocean, why don't
YOU rise-come up here-comc along this way,
YOU white headed rascal of billow." The sea of
course obeyed and the bllows rolled upwards with
the tide "Therc" said the fool, 81 told you would
make the ocean do as bid it, and be damned to it.
SO it is with the locofocos. They talk about bring
ing down prices-plices came down of their own ac-
cord, and according TO the nvarlabe laws Of trade
There is mors use Of meeting in the Park about
such thing-no more use of kicking up not-no

banks The oafers should pass the following resolu-
fions today
Resolved, as our deliberate opinion which none
who wear breeches ought to gansay, that as the hVe
hundred and sixty banks in this country are the
primary of high rents, high prices scarcity OF
work and uncommon scarcity Of gin sllng as also
there being all shaving shops not even 80 clean anu
smooth as Frank Boyle 5, No. Beekman street. where
the two Jims shave at slxpence each and tell a
story into the bargain-ln consequence Thereon, we
recommend all our followers who have breeches on
their legs, Immediately to go to work and pun down
such banks and shaving shops if they will not come
down of themselves as the great Josephs banking
house did the other week in Wall street
Resolved that as the element of FIRE creates great
deal Of alarm every day and night in New y ork-
loafers are taking a comfortable snooze,-aso de-
stroys much property in rum spirits, and other Wit
tails be it therefore enloned on our fraternity, tha'
fires both in the kitchen and parlour all lights, can
dies lamps and forth be put out and never hence

ever; man and woman and child taking care IN the
mean time 10 90 10 bed in the dark, or before the sun
SETS and thus preserve the city ana all uhe slh Ho

Resolved, as it has come to our knowledge that
certain invisible substance discovered of late years
and called steam, has knocked up several awful

Resolved that il is now well established that many
thousand good loafers and mach value IN gin and
wittals are every year swallowed up IN the OCEAN or
cast ashore rs i'm The case Of the recent shpwrecks,
entirely useless and destroyed we therefore give no
ce 10 our friends Nh oughout The country TO destroy
all ships brigs, schooners hermaphrodItes, boats,
launches and all other kinds of water craft as the
practice and system of going to sea, IS the sole and
only cause of so many men, wemen, and children,
coming to their untmely end, and particularly the
cause of so much mortality in rum, gin, and good
brandy, which are the only articles worth hvlng ior
IN this loafng world-&c. &c.
We beg Mr.. Seth Luther, who is the great locofoco
chairman today in the Park to put these resolutions
N the meeting and we will venture to say they will
pass them in preference to any that he may draw out
of his dirty brecches pocket Try IL Seth, and have
