HYpocRIsY EXPOSED. Some of the readers of
the locofoco papers doubtless surprised to no

breeze respecting the circular of the Democratic
Wing State Committee which was published by
some of them accompanied with condemnatory re-
marks, when it was known to many of those rea-
ders that their ocofoco brethren had issued sim

being aware of this movement by their opponents
