Loco Toco MHErrno.-Af six o'clock
according to a previous notice, The Loco
Focos assembled in the Park, and this
being a leisure hour, some Eve al six
thousand people were gathered together.
Among the orators Of the the day was
Mr.. E. ]. Webb, who rather thought the
U. State Government was not so bad,
but the State Government was very bad.
AS for Governor Marcy he was like the
fellow in the boat, always pulling one
way; and looking another. Gen. Jack
son was compared to our Saviour, who
drove the money changers out Of the
temple, for Gen. jackson had knocked
their benches over. He closed with a
paraphrase from Walter Scots Mar
mion- 2thh
"Charge, Chester, charge on Stanly, on
Let these be the words of every true
.Americ(o)n.
Laughter, roaring and thunders Of ap-
plause.) e-sis
Mr.. Alexander Ming read an address,
and offered a series Of Prosecutions. Job
Haskell came upon the stand afterwards.
Job discoursed with his usual good ma
tured familiarity. He apologized for
being in bad voice. He said he had i'm
paired his lungs in talkinglwith the bank
folks, and that he entered into long dis
QUESTION on the nature ofmonsters, and
came to the conclusion that the people
might as well be eaten up by one big
dragon as BY al whole lot of little ones.
Job then said they were getting up a
new Dragon, he did not know what they
were going to callit, but he asked the
people if they would be devoured by it :?
e. No, no, no. .gae.iz aae
After this Mr.. Webb offered reso-
luton, that the corporation be instruc-
ted to use their utmost exertion to put
down the "present shin plaster system"
Mr.. Ming then began his speech.
Among the mottos on the banners were,
/" No Rag currency" "Give US Gold and
Silver" Equal Rights" &c. Also a
quotation from Mr.. Webster, where he
says II am a bulionist," &c.
The LOCO Focos and the spectators
seemed to be in very good temper, and
all parted in the best Of humor. Mr..
Ming is the genteel orator OF the Loco
Focos, but Job Haskell is clearly the ia
vorite. Mr.. Ming appears in white trow-
sers, which is decidedly aristocratic,
whereas Job appears in his homespun.
Seth Luther appeared in his everlasting
green Jacket, which, it is said he COM
menced Loco Foco business with some
years ago in Boston.
After the big orators had their day,
the little orators assembled in little
squads to talk over their gold and silver
affairs. Ranging amoung their groupes,
we heard no less than eight different
languages--English, German, Dutch, l.
Italian, French, Spanish. Portuguese and
Irish. Job talks pure Yankee, and has
all the Yankee 'cuteness. He is from
New Glouchester, (Me.) Mn the Jack
Downing region. The Alpine Germans
and the Lowland Dutch stink dish is
darned hard times, TO work all day for de
Won tollar, and den for no be able for puy
pread but vid te whole tollar."
The Loco Focos as we have said be.
fore, dispersed in peace, after the resolv-
ing was over. II is an honest, though
an ideal party, we verify believe. They
do an infinite deal ofresolving-but they
have all along sustained the men and
measures which have brought us where
we are. Their ideas about bank and
state areexcellent. Tammany has set
them agoing, and now they won't stop.
