This party called forth the jealousy OF the poor To-

The gross inconsistency of Their principles anu prac
tses-the mpudent terglversaons OF their counciis
al Tammany Hall-and Their conduct at Albany ana
Washington--were TOO glarng TO escape the repro
baton and contempt of their duped supporters. HOW
could it be otherwise The democrats OF lammahy
Hall avowed, in the same breath, hostility 10 the =.
S. Bank, and friendship to five hundred banks an
equally as corrupt and aristocratc WHAT'S the con-
sequence of such inconsistencies this gross attempt
n
ranks and the creation of party, which, in spite
OF the folly Of such men Ming and his cenpatrots
appears to be increasing and multiplying at every
step. Such is the fruit of ueachery, intrigue, ana
avarice in one party
The Whig party continues steady in its original
p1nciples moderate and scientific but not abuse
of the banking insitunon-whe its ancient antago-
nists are divided and torn into factions without end,
on that very point.
In this condition dees the dominant party come
into the field the approaching election lheir gross
inconsistencies on the subject OF banks-tnen a'fo-
c,ous speculations in lands, cotton, paper currency
rise OF prices and rents IN consequence OF thcse
sneculatons-are now accumulatng upon Their head
one of the most astonishing revolutions that me Guy
of New York exempifed, or the Union ever saw. we
Sew the field Of politics from neutral and ndepen-
dent position without caring who beats or whe gets
heat and is our deliberate opinion, from the cur
rents now setting in, that more Overwhelming ue-
feat no party ever sustained than Tammany may eA-
meet 10 meet next week. The locooco party never
ran. on lis own dirty bottom alone gam any ma'efia
triumph or permanent foothold IN such country as
this Their principles and views are directly IN the
teeth of every civil and commercial institution
thoroughly hostile TO the principles OF every man
huein
anIv the offspring of the gross deceptions and ergi
ysrsatons of the Tammany party. That corps OF pa
tots only adopted them to put down the U. $. bank
hui did not mean carry them further. All the men
Of fsonse-all the prudent mechanics-a the shrewd
,o,rneymen yet lingering at Tammany Hal, will as
oon a. that place loses It's prestige 60 over TO the
vhrs and swell their ranks TO thousands and thou
sands The Tammany party yet contains great ma
nv such men-men Of sense-who merely continue
from the belief that It's power nvulnerable but the
moment that they see and feel this power gone they
are gone.
Every thing conspires predict and point out such
n result The imbecllty and weakness of Mr. Van
Buren's administration already begin 10 be developed
n cre,ps along like repte-it silent the grave
1t "a afraid Of lis own shadow. Unlike the daring
noble. and energetic spirit of backguardsm which
marked the tone Of General Jacksons councils, and
which vet inspires the locofocos and oaiers with
coppenia en- husasm from their head quarters at the
Five Points 10 the remotest limit of Corlaers Hook
Mr. Van Buren, can inspire nothing like spark OF true
courage-even the courage of yagabond-nto the
arosping hearts Of his followers. The mantle ofJack
son, such as il is will be seized by the locofocos and
as the Arabian conqserors did with the broeches o.
Nahomet they will, under its mighty shadow, entrel,
break up and be the death of the poor decript snufy
old woman Of Tammany Hail.
Yet the locofoces will not ENJOY the victory A
triumph to the wings begins revolution that will raj
Iy the whole country. A revolution in commerce will
also 20 on at the time and thus bring down
prices and the expenses of living From the ranks OF
Tammany, crowds will flock to the wings as soon
as il shall be known that they to be rulers of this
country hereafter
Thus do we see that the destruction of the present
dominant party has been caused by themselves. The
terrible tergiversations-the corrupt prnciples-the
imposition 10 one bank principle and support OF
Eve hundred for proft-the atrocious land speoua-
tions--he impulse they have gwen TO those move
ments which have caused rents TO rse and meat 10
double in price-are all coming up TO secure their
lust punishment and TO meet their proper vengeance
Look out ye supporters Of Tammany If you do not
get out of that political building it WILL like the
Josephs banking house, bury you in It's ruins. Your
day has come-a great change IS at hand-the whole
country is now in the midst of an entire and radical
revolution in politics and in commerce. Nothing can
stop H. Not momeRt is TO be lost. Ii the sensible
mon yet with the dominant party, want to save their
characters and their carcasses, let them escape-let
them nee-lst them pack up the few principles they
have and be of. For our own poor SELF we shall 20
pray. We care for party, but that beautiful.
