REcKLEssNEss OF Loco-Foco1sM.

| On the 10th day Of December, 1889, Pre-
sident Jackson issued his Proclamation invok-
ing the " undivided support" of his fellow CT
tizens, in sustaining the integrity of the Re-
public and its institutions, from the machina-
tons of certain individuals, who were by him,
declared 10 be The leaders, whose doctrines
had led their followers to the "BRINK OF IN
sURREcTIoN AND TREASON J" and whose OBJ
ject was pIsuNIoN"
The principle leader was denounced at that
time by President Jackson, and from him
down to the humblest of those who stood rea-
dy to march at a moments warning, to support
the Union, (when summoned) as conspirator
A CATILINE, &c. These epithets were re-
peated year after year, until within few
months past.
Now, this same Catiliae, is held up by the
official organ of the Administration, as the
purest of Patriots Men, who had been dis
tinguished from their earliest manhood for
their true Repubhcantsm, who flew to the
rescue of the Republic and the Constitution,
when menaced, as proclaimed by President
Jackson are now denounced as traitors and
enemies to their country by those same indivi-
duals who then were foremost in condemning,
and who n0p are foremost in Offering up the
smoke Of incense to the patriotism of their
CATILINE."
Now, this declared censpirator, is courtcd
by the Chief Magistrate, Notwithstanding two
years have not elapsed since he was compar-
ed by that individual to the most crafty of all
the animals Of the forest,) and by all his sub
serptent followers. The great hard-monev
leader of the Senate falls in the back ground
to make room, and give the lead to this new
ly acquired ally--the moro diminutive, fall
still further in the rear but all follow their
new leader " Caliline y and shout hosannas
to his patriotism.
Such are the facts-such the scene now
presented in tho Metropolis Of the Republic
The causes that have led to these unpar-
aleled changes are easily told. They are
these. The present Administration, and those
who follow it, have abandoned their principles
Of 1884 /; and, have gone over to Mr.. Cal
houn, and adopted those which he and his
supporters then brought forward which the
former then declared 10 be :" designating and
revolutionary = while those who still believe
them to be so, are proclaimed as enemies to
the administration and the country
Although their representatives. may be Sc
duced, to unite in such inconsistent acts we
have TOO much respect for intelligence, and too
deepa reliance on the frmness and patriotism
of the people to believe that they will be
brought to sanction or participate, by uniting
in them.

upon cutting the lanyards, the mas,s went by the

Long has my midnight taper cleaned,
And when morn's earliest brightness beamed,
I've stood alone in anguish wild,
And watched, and wept in vain, my child"
Deep wrapt within his sea-weed shroud,
In oceans caves he coldly sleeps;
Above him empests thunder loud,
And round him many monster leaps
The fierce winds wall and sea birds scream

Fair child Of heaven! peace Of mind,
Each bosom heayes with sofl delight,
To hold thee sweetly there enshrind,
In glory, chaste, ethereal, bright:
The infants smile betrays thee there,
While on his gleeful lips delay'd;
Thine Ills to sooihe the virgins care
Thine to bestow celestial aid.
With thee, what tho the lions roar
Should bring but deaths distressing pains;
What tho the storms Of passion DER

Sweet angel Of ethereal bliss!
To smile on deaths terrific frown,
Or scorn reproach's foules hiss
Is, heayen-born Innocence, thine own.

OUR RELATIONS WITH MEXiCO.
The House having proceeded 10 consider in order re-
table, the following resolution offered By Mr. Adams of
Massachusetts, came up for consideration, viz:
Resulued That the President of the United STATES be
requested communicate 10 this House copy and trans.
ation Of The pamphlet in the Spanish language, stated
in the report of the Secretary of State 10 This House TO
have been printed and circulated by the late minister
from the Republic uf Mexico Goroslza before his de-
parture from this country, and the name OF the diploma
Tic func,ionary from foreign Government who commu
nicated copy of said pamphlet TO the Secretary of
State.
The resolution having been read,
Mr. Howard, of Maryland, Chairman of the Commit
tee on Foreign Affairs moved 10 amend by striking out
all that part of it which had reference to disclosure Of
the name of the public functionary who communicated
to the Secretary of State copy of Mr Gorostiza letter
MIR Adams hoped that the Chairman OF the Committee
Ca Foreign Affairs would not insist on the motion he had
now made, inasmuch Mr. A. considered the clause
proposed 10 be stricken out very material one 1t
was the language Of the report Of the Secretary OF State
himself which had induced Mr. A. 10 insert that clause
1t must {said hey be within the recollection OF every
member of this House, that the Message OF the fresl
dent of the D. s., communicated 10 this House at the
of the present session, bore exceed
inpy hostile aspect towards the Republic Of Mexico
That in that Message it stated that The late Presi
dent Of the United States General Jackson) had sent
70 Congress Message, itself very hostile in its cha
issue letters OF marque and rePrisa against the Re.
public of Mexico and declaring that the relation of
that Republic ito the United States such, that
this Government would be justified in adopting TO-
wards it any measures authorized by Tie law of nations;

with tremendous violepce, its sharp Kissing
heard above the wild uproar of the waters
and the storm. With Il desperate and de-
termined courage, which equaIled the most
daring heroisn that she page of history has
ever recorded, the engineer sat dewn upon
the leuer of the safety Uatre, to coniine and
raise the steam to the necessary power re-
quired to propel the boat against the drift
ing waves la this awful situation he
calmly remained, until the prodgious efforts
of the engine had forced the Constitution
sufficiently off shore to be beyond the threat
ened danger.
This intrepid act was not a rash aud vain
glorious sitemp, to gain the applause of a
multitude by fooI-hardy exposure of life,
in some racing cxcursion,-it was not the
deed nf drunken and reckless man wick
edly needless Of the safety Of those whose
lives were periied-but it was the self-pos-
scssed and determined courage of one
whose firmness is worthy Of oil admiration.

al Government irredcenable paper money
I Resoiued, That these revolutionary al
tempts To usurp the sovereign power of the
PEOPLE over the currency, credit and reye-
nue. systems Of the UNITED STATES, can be
defeated only by emancipaling the Govern
ment from every legal obligation to hold
the bills of banks, or to place its treasure
on general dcposile in banks and by col
lecIlng the revenue In the legal money Of
the country, and keeping il in the Treas-
ury until wanted TO pay appropriations
made by law.
ReSOlDed, That we most cordially ap-
prove the fidelity, frmness and moderation,
wiih which MARTIN VAN BUREN, has
steadily pursued the policy avowed by AN
DREW JACKSON, Ton the removal of
the deposites,) viz: that the control of the
banks and the currency shall, as far as
practicable, be ENTIRELY SEPARA-
TED from the political power of the coun-
try, AS WELL as Yrested from an institu-
tioa rhieh has attempttd TO subject The
Government to its piH," and that we look
with confidence to him to complete the en-
tire separation OF Bank and State, which
hi, predecessor SO gloriously began.
Resoived, That, instead of wishing to
destroy banks and credit, rs basely repre-
sented by our opponents, we desire the e.
Emancipation Of trade and credit by secur-
ing 10 all citizens their natural rights 20 the
free employment Of their capital aud credit
under the protection of equal and general
laws.
Res0l0ed, I hat the test ofthe correctness
Of a measure, is the safety of its universal
application and that, in judging of the
previous security to be required by the
Stnte for the ultimate redemption of any
bills that pass into circulation, the safety Of
its universal application is the true criter-
ion, and that any thing in the present or
any future system of banking, which will
not stand that test, is at war with expedien-
cy, with justice, and with freedom.
Resoired, That to show our determine
ion to stand by the Constitutions in its in
egrily, and support the institutions which
he sovereign people themselves established
n their fundamental Law, and to manifest
,ur adhesion to the vital Democratic doc
rine of sustaining regular nominations, we
will, Tomorrow, one and all, vote the " hole

word, the poper Of the people, and, for our

4 Thrilling ncident-Among the per.

such widespread disaster To our lake ship
Plug, a fortnight since, one has come To oui

Applehy, was out amidst the terrors of the

when the 6iful storm for q moment broke n

der the hurricane power of the gale, which
blew almost directly across the lake--to-
ward dangerous reef, from which escape
would have been impossible. lie went d.
rectiy to the engineer, and ordered on -
m"re s,eam." The reply Of the engineer
was that there was already as mach steam,
on as the boilers would safely bear.
Again did the captain seek the deck, to
see if his Iaborng boat was making head
way, aud again returned to the engine room
lie explained to the engineer their hazard
Gus situation, and told linn that all hope
WAS lost, if no more headway could he "a in
rd-but left the engineer to act his dscre-
tion in the crisis. A moment of reflection,
nnd his decision was made. Life or death
hung on the issue. Certain destruction a
waited the boat and her devoted crew, in n
few brief minutes, if she did not gain upon
the driving storm. This might be nvericd,
II The boilers--aiready crowded to fearful
pressure--could yet bear the heavier strain,
aud tlIat he determined 20 TRY. True, the
awful horrors Of an EXPLOSION were vividy

and the groans of the hapIess victims, were
