! Loco Focoism Illustrated; Or a flight to AE-
ricG.-It hardly seems necessary for Miss
Fanny Wright to come back here to New
York to teach " no monopoly" in husbands
wives and children-for recent appoint
ment by Mr.. Van Buren,, of a Tammany Lo-
CO Foco to Foreign Consulship, has sane
toned all those doctrines and made them so
far, rather desirable, than to be avoided. We
shall not mention names in the facts we have
to give, and we would not emblaZon the facts,
but that we deem it a paramount duty to hold
up to public adherence the practical Infidel
Loco Focoism of one of the Great Reward
ed in this city.
The facts are these: The President has
recently conferred Foreign Consulship up
on a man, an avewed infdel, and a promi-
nent original Loco Foco, whose character it
turns out to be is just on par with his prin-
ciplcs. This Foreign Consul has been liv-
ing three or four years in respectable fam.
lily here without cost, it is said, and during
that time he had insinuate9 himself into the
affections of lady of that family, SO that
she had yielded to his solicitations, even the
enjoyments of connubial state. When he
received his appointment, he endeavored to
evade the advancing responsibilities OF such
a state, by an escape to Africa, in vessel
from Boston. He left this city without
word to her, though he had promised mar
rage and all that, before he left. The mo-
ment she heard Of his flight to- Boston, she
pursued him, and overlook him in the ire
mont House, before he sailed. His apology
then was "poverty," and "inability to per-
form the ceremony with the decorum due to
his station" S1c.-when the lady impromptu
was able to furnish him $4,000, which ena-
bled him SO far to pay all the expense of the
new condition of married life. Thus pent
up, another evasion was resorted to. The
lady was told that the ship was coming to
! New York, and the official lover promised to
come around in the ship, and finish the GER
enony in New-York. In the mean time, the
! lady was sent back to New York. under the
charge of Private Secretary, who come on
|
ly left in the afternoon boat. AS soon as the
Private Secretary got back to Boston. the
ship cleared, with the Foreign Consul, to AT
RIGA. The lady has since sailed from this
port for Gibraltar, in full pursuit. The next
meeting W II be in Africa. The story, we
are told, is to appear with names in the Bos.
ton papers but we certainly should not have
written even thus much but that the party is
now made the Representative of the Ameri-
can People in Foreign State, and because
the facts were made known in Washington
not indulge the punctiios of deicacy in
case like this.-N. Y. Express.
Unless our Juries should come TO the con-
clusion that it is, on the whole, less eligible
to hang people for foul murder than to en-.
courage foul murder by acquitting mis-
creant that commits it, it were as well per-
haps, not to study philanthropy" much lon
ger. 1t is our opinion that u murderer or
two may as we'll be executed as to leave
them at large until few scores of innocent
people fall victims to the modern sublima
tions on the " enlightenment of the age" 1t
may be that the $ time has gone by, for pun
ishing Offences as is SO eloquently and gram
matically argued by certain patriot papers in
this city, but it is about time to look into this
philosophy. A negro monster murdered an
innocent woman in the street few days
since, and stands an excellent chance of be-
ing let off unhanged on the ground of insan-
ity and, encouraged by that belief another
sable wretch attempted on Tuesday, SINH
lar sxploit-having slipped behind woman

sons, he only succeeded in mutilating her
upper lip. He managed, however, to escape,
and is still at large, according to an evening
paper. 1t is not of any great consequence
whether he is caught or not. as the jury
would probably have too much conscience to
find him guilty. Our law furnishing murder
with death, is only "relic of the barbarous
ages" and in most trials perjury is called in
| to save the jurors from the awful response

NEw.ENGLAND INDUSTRY.
have seen no class of people, among
whom a more efficient SYSTEM of industry
and economy Of time was established, than
the agricultural population of New-England.
Their possessions are not sufficiently large
to allow waste of any description. Hence
every article seems to be carefully estima-
ted, and applied to its best use. Their mode
of life is as favorable to cheerfulness and
health as it is eminent in industry.
The farmer rising with the dawn, attends
to those employments which are necessary
for the famly-and proceeds early with. his
sons and assistants, to their departments of
daily labor. The birds enliven them with
their songs, and the lambs gambol, while the
patient OK marks the deep furrow, or the
grain is committed to the earth, or the tall
grass humbled beneath the scythe, or the
stately corn freed from the intrusion of
weeds. Fitting tasks are proportioned to the
younger ones, that no hand may be idle.
