We, and others, hape been designating them
as IL oco-focos.n The term has but little or
no meaning. It was given BY themselves to
the minority Of their own party, when the
ieveling doctrines ard the Sub-Treasury
were first broached. They having since,
in the main, gone over to that minority and
embraced the odious ub-Treasury doc
trines, the Wings have contracted habit of
calling them all "Loco-focos." Meantime
the Spoilsmen have been industriously
drawing about the party in power the popu-
lar garb of Democracy, and at the same
time endeavoring to fasten the unpopular
title Of Federalism upon the Wing parry
In this way they have been guilty of rob-
berry and hypocrisy-of robbing a name
which they bad no right or claim to, and Of
hypocritically pretending that their princi-
plies are Democratic, and that those of the
Wings are Federal, when they know the
very rercrsc to be the truth.
Il is time then Tor the Wings evcrywherc
TO cease using the term sLoco-foco,n which
too often requires explanation, and amounts
to nothing when it is explained; and to not
only designate their opponents by that title
which is most applicable to and in conso-
nance with the principles they advocate, but
to strip them Of every yestige Of Democra-
