system-The Mile MUM at last.
The triumph of locofoco principles is now com
pletc. The chief Of these myriads-the venerable
locofoce of old, who was kicked out of paradise fo
his anti monopoly doctrlne-yea even Satan himself
as now rejoicing to his hearts content and eyes
was yesterday seen distinctly in Wall Sueet-see the
engraving on the first page-playng at nine pins with
the old hnancers and bankers there whose long reign
Is now overhrown by the passage of the General
Bank Law, and the commencement of new revolu-
non IN finance, politics and society, under the super
lnendence Of Azariah Flagg the Chancellor Of this
new locofoco age.
Here the party prints-W hig sad Democrat
blowing oil their steam about the defeat of the sham
Relief Bill in consequence of foolish quarrel between
the Senate who stuck TO the loans of stocks-and the
Assembly who insisted on Post Notes. tbs all bal
Observation-Disclosures folly-nonsenss. The defeat
or passage of either, or both these provisions would
net have created ripple on the surface of eveats.
The good old Banks in Wall Street would net have
needed the stock loans and the power to issue Post
Notes would have been nHlled under the great loco
foce system of Free Banking
This 10 our firm and sincere belief-who can gain
say it7
Away with such nonsense! The great revolution
is now begun in earnest. The celebrated firm of
SLAM, BAsc g. Co. have-in the old business-di.
solved partnership forever, and this day upon
a new charter, and new corporation. They have
dsmounted from the old donkey in order to get the
vertebr. of splendid racer. They have DOTTED the
old breeches and put on raimsnt This very day,
begins the demolition of the old banking system, and
the laying eff the foundation stone of the new. The
new General Bank Law, is the creation OF thegreat
Lecofoco Banking system, to give to this city and
this country, the blessings OF locofoco currency
and the salvation of locofoco exchange system.
1t is now ten years since the "werry venerable
Tom Skidmore organized the lecefocos in old
stable in the Bowery, and gave them the impulse
which has now eventuated in the enactment of To-
cofoco system Of free banking For years. the orr
ginal locofocos have fought sometimes one side,
sometimes on the oher-anon with the wings, anon
with the demecrats-te carry out this principle, and
to begin revelation in finance, currency, banking,
and business, that may be considered the commence
ment of the great locofoco millennium. A Spartan
band of about 5000 original locofocos owning among
them 500 breeches, and as many old hats and rag
ged shirts have, by skill and management under the
councils of Slam, Bang & Co. conquered the wings,
destroyed the democrats and left not a grease spot
of the conservatives in Canal street. The old banks
and the old system will crumble into dirt and insol
vency like an old house through whose windows the
storms of thousand years have ragged The devil
is dancing on the grass and playing ninepins with
The cashiers.
Yet but this singular aud Surprising
change now about TO begin, may not be great pub
Nc advantage If the newly organised firm Of Slam,
Bang & Co. can manage the system of banking
as efficiently they have husba nded their 5000 votes
and thus controlled and directed the 100000 voters OF

Why not7 Genius is genixs-in politics or finance.
Gods and little fishes! | feel like Richard ILL., in
the exciting field of Bosworth. A thousand thoughts
are struggling in my bosom for uIterance.
The proceedings of the last legislature leave all
parties in an entire new position. Every thing is in
confusion Neither wings nor democrats know ex-
actly whether they stand their heads or their
heels. The locofocos alone are right side up-wth
Satan in fashionable attire at their head, TO knock
down the ninepins as they set them mp. In day
or two the fog will be dspeed under the bright rays
of the intelligence as il oozes forth from the head that
heads the Herald. We shall then prophecy again.
Till then, good people, remain in the bliss of igno-
ranee-kss your affectionate wives, and caress your
pretty daughters Locofocos, DO you 60 and liquor.

tonight at the Park Theatre.
The dancing Of this young creature 10 something
more ETHEREAL than we have been accustomed to see

Lnoament she is as fine an mpersonation OF the Po-
cry Of nature we have yet witnessed. In her
most extreme and agile movements there Is nothing
but grace and poetry floating around her soft limbs
like robe Of holiness from another world. Other
female dancers py developing too broadly their ply
steal charms create rcpusve feelings in the minds Of
the pare and excite mixed sensations in those Of the
less ethereal. Net so with the dancing Of this most
youthful, most ETHEREAL, most extraordinary syph.
