INCONSISTENCY OF THE LoCoFoCos.
The whole conduct of the leaders OF the
dominant party is a compound Of the most
gross Inconsistencies, and constant rcpe-
tition of practices II. direct opposition TO
their own theories and professions.
For their professions OF reform IN the
expenditures Of the Government We have
an increase of the expense from thirteen 10
more than thirty n.liloas If dollars per an
nun.
Their cleansing ofthc Augean stable
has resulted III filing nearly every office IN
the Government with irresponsible parti-
sans whose abuses OF the trusts reposed,
and malpractices in the office they hold,
are daily coming 10 light, because their
J enormty has grown TO such an extent that
/ they can no longer be concealed.
Their opposition to banks and bank mo.
nopolies has swelled the bank capital and
the number of banks TO three times the
amount they were when this consisted par
ty came into power.
Their opposition 20 foreign capital, their
fear Of the free people Of this country be-
coming the mortgaged slaves and yassals
of foreign lords and capitalists, has result
ed IN filling Europe 10 a sureit with Amer
lean stocks, and the sending numerous
emissares, some Of them the loudest de-
claImers against the introduction of for
eign capita! that the Halls Of Congress cy.
er had, to beg Of foreigners the favor to
send their capital to this country,
Their opposition 70 the officers OF the
! General Government interfering with State
elections has grown into complete system
of official influence, under which every OF.
ticer from the President down to the petty
postmaster ot the most remote post office
IS bound to do his utmost TO sustain the par
ty in power, From government OF thu
People, they have made this emphaucaIly
a Government of +icc.h"iuttS.
For the care and safe custody Of the rev
enues ofthe Government they have furnish
ed the Lg-feasny system under ~hlct
the ucosurcrs have iegged away millions
Of the People money.
For the letter currency they have COY
cred the country with the notes ana rays .
local irresponsible banks, quadfupied tn,
rates Of exchange, and filled the whole lane
with distrust and uncertainty, and dcrang
ed all the chaunels Of trade.
Their gold, which was :" 10 flow up th'
Mississippi, turned out to BE- all paper, an,
the settler on the public lands, whose trcnc
they have proiessed to be, has submittcC
to be shaved To the tune OF from fifty TO q
hundred Per cent, to get money whercwlll
TO purchase his home.
They who boosted that they were III,
poor mans friend, have lined the broker
and rich shayer's pockets with thousands
taken from the hard earnings OF the labor
ers and consumers.
They who are the opponents Of Stat
banks and opposed TO bank rags, bank pa
per, ana CRY aloud for pure metallic eur
rency, are nevertheless the president d
! rcctors, aud company Of these irresponsl
bic ard souIless corporations.

as all that the country neede,., either 70
