THE CHoLEuA AMONG THE LocoFocos.-M Loco
foco Leggcts daily twopenny paper gave Up the
ghost Yesterday. The Paindeaer will probably fol-
low in week and perchance the Evening Post bring
up the rear This is merely the first symptoms Of an
entire change in the locofoco party, headed by Mr.
I,ocofoco Cambreleng and tailed by Mr.. Locofoco
Eli Moore Since the sound practical bullion views
of Daniel Webster were promulgated by u& among
the ocofocos and workies, complete revolution has
been fermenung in these ranks. Even Mr.. John Wndt
who has very properly sued the Commercial Bank
for S54 worth of its shin-p lasters, is rapidly coming
10 his under the daily light shed upon the world
by our Wall street reports.
There is a great many honest, worthy men among
the locofocos, and if we succeed in making them
rational and practical, shall consider ourself as
having laid up treasure in heaven III can prevent
IT, Satan shall never breakfast on any more locefo-
cos Sach an old scoundrel ought not to De permit
ted to feast game chickens more exquisite than the
best canvass backs that magnificent Milford ever pre-
pared for his table dhote
We learn that the Examiner has been sinking
every day for month past. The cotere which start
ed il and still supports the Post and Plaindeaer, are
peculiar set of chickens 1t consists of Messrs Leg
gctt, Bryant, Cambreeng, Barney Bates, and few
other choice spirits Mr.. Locooco Bryant began the
world on poetry and fiction, and continues II STILL
Mr. LocoToco Legsett is novelist of sea Mr..
Locofoco Cambreeng novelist IN political economy,
as his famous report commerce proved. Mr.. Bar
ney Bates, is very good nalured easy tempered,
cleverish kind of blockhead.
I..o hour ali
different from that coterie formed by friends
Messrs Slam, Jacques, Windt and their associates,
who are practical, hard listed sensible men al bot
tom.
The locofocoism of Mr.. Cambreleng's clique is a
mixture of bad poetry little experience, smattenng
of literature, much vanity, white kid gloves, AID
species OF personal and Intellectual dandyism. The
source from which they draw their opinions are the
works and the writings of the thousand and par
ties that arose in England after the execution Of
Charles l. In the middle of the sixteenth century
there arose in England multitude of political, reli-
gous and philosophical visionares, who started and
supported the widest theories and stranges, fancies
In one respect the internal history Of England from
1880 10 1000 resembled the history of France from
1888 TO 1900. Mems minds wee unhinged The
world en- rnasse became absolutely mad-EHgland and
France presented the spec,aces OF large snatic
asyams After several years fermentation, the social
and political systems of both countries settled down
into some order, and the great movement of cvilza-
aion and refinement went on as usual.
During the last five years few individuals with
more fancy than fact-morc vanity than good sense,
have made feeble struggle, especially in New York,
10 create movement founded similar VISIONS
Legget has been reading the politics of Milton and
the finh monarchy mcn-Bryant studying the theo-
ries Of Turgot and the French economists. Awaiting
themselves Of the floating materials in large city,
they have endeavored to subvert the maxms Of expe-
renee and upset the rules drawn from years of practice
Their notions about the currency are the widest
visions ever engendered We must have credit sys-
TEN and national bank and there is no use in dis
grlsing it. The Safety Fund IS an rredcemabe paper
bubble and there way TO resume specie payments
but threu.h the action of Congress and a national
bank
The changes going on here favorable ind-
cations Of returning health in pubhc opinion. The
"Examiner" has ceased its nonsense, and the day ~
rapidly approaching when the Paindoaler and Post
will follow suit, or change their views. We ourself
sufficiently lccooco for all practical purposes. Daniel
Webster i such a ocofoco as am-buonIst both
out and out-and happy to learn that our old
friends Messrs SLAM, Bang Jacques, Thwsckes
wlndt & Co. are coming over to our side. Well all
get right yet
