THr QuEsroS.--For what ere We eon,sadugr
For The grraisii good Ct the greatest aaabsT
or equal rf-t''. For political ieedor-
such as Co hath gwen
INTO oil beneath his heaven
lais Is our ann and lor this We are denounced
Is agraunnS, jewellers, and many other etcetsras
/ Wen, We are Jewellers! We wish 10 bring down
The rch aHstocrai 10 the political level Of the IN.
tus;rious mechanic. We wish 10 see the latter
tree from domination and tyranny IN al the busi-
ness and relations Of HE. Aud more than al,
We WISH 70 see The homes, poor man allowed 10 ex-
eTclse his elective, franchise, fearleSsy and indie
pendehty. ID this be asarianlsm, lei the Wings
make the most Of It. Let them continue their
enjoyment IN ealing the Democrats Loco-iocos.
Inc word means aay thing or nothing. The
noisy pafusans who apply II 10 US as term Of
| tePfodeh' cannot explain what they mean by 1t.
lhe woFd s OF no ImpoF,ance-we 20 for prin-
clpleS' and II It be any accommodation to our
good'Iempered brethren, the Wings, they may
call US Loco-ocos from this present ume TO the
day OF Judgement.
1t II be loco-iocoism to contend that "liie, hb-
ery, and the pursuit Of happiness" are amongst
the nights Of the people, and that arisiocracy
| should not be permitted to deprive them of those
rights, We are willing TO be called Loco-locoS.
I'm be loco-focoism TO contend that the mass
OF the people should yindca,e their rights against
monopolles and their concomltant expressions,
We are Locofocos.
If II be loco.iocosm 10 contend that banking
men should be placed on the same level with 9th
er capitalists and restricted to lawful rate fnteI-
est, then We are Loco-focos.
The Democracy will adopt the name if the
Wings wishlt--ln less than a year it will be a
battle cry.-.New Era.
There are two classes Of men in this country
those who take toe much interest IN politics,
and those who take too little The former make
themselves entire slaves to party and their minds
are IN such state of fiery excitement that they
have not the least power to Judge deliberately Of
measures or men. They defy their own leaders,
libel and SANDER all Other men-and while in THIS
partial insanity, they are so little capable of dis.
corning between right and wrong, that they ex.
ult when sumo arltul demagogue uses them Tor
his own purposes, even it he holds the rein with
hand so tyranncal that their bits are covered with
blood The other class are those who are so
disguised with the attrocIous violence Of the party,
that they retreat from all interest IN public men
and atiars-and, like the disciples Of Rosseau,
weary OF social evils, give up society itself, as if
the way to remedy evils was to let them alone.
BY taking this unmanly course, they leave the
field open to the unprlncped and INSCRIPTIONS
and the unhappy result sometimes is that bad men
triumph, not by their own exertions, so much as
by the uniathfulncss OF good men to their duty.
The DEAD LlvE.-l have seen one die: she
was beautiful, and beautiful were the ministers of
lie that were gwen her to fulfil. Angelic love
liness enrobed, aud grace rs if IL were caught
from Heaven, breathed in every tone, and follow
ed every affection; shone in every action, rnves-
ted as halo her whole existence, and made II a
light und blessing, a charm and vision Of glad
| ness to all around; but she died! Friendship and
love, and parental londness and infant weakness,
stretched out Their hands to save her; but they
could not save her, and she died! What did all
that loneliness die! is there no land of the bles
sed and the lovely ones, for such to live in =
| Forbid il reason, rellgion bereave aiitc ton and
undylng love forbid the thought! 1t cannot be
that such die IN Gods counsel, who live in lrail
human memory for ever!
! have seen one die, in the maturity Of every
power, IN the earthly perfection Of every faculty.
when many temptations had been overcome, aud
many hard lessons had been leaned when many
experiments had made virtue easy and had given
facility 10 action, and success to endgaVor;
when wisdom had been learned from many mis-.
takes and a skill had been hborously acquired
in the use Of many powers and the beng look
| ed upon had Just comprised that most useful,
most practical Of all knowledge, how to live, and
how to act well and wisely yet have seen such
an one die Was all this treasure gained only to
| be ostl Were all these faculties trained only to
be thrown into utter disusel Was this instruments
the intelligent soul, the nobest in the universe;
was it so abonousIy fashlcncd and by the most
varied and expensive apparatus, that on the very
moment of beng finished it should be cast away
for ever p Deny.
Tomorrow! Tomorrow who can tell how
much is embraced in this expressonl Though
but few hours intervene between ii and u,
| though it will commence IFS course, who is there
that can read its page and pronounce the charac-
| ter Of its events
| Tomorrow Those who are now gay may be
sad-hose who are now walking the avenues Of
pleasure led by the hand Of Hope, may be sub
ects Of intense sorrow. Prosperity may change
into adversely. Those who are now on the noun
| tain summit, may be in the valley. That rosy
cheek may be overspread with paleness-tbe
strong step may faller. Death may have overta-
| ken US.
Tomorrow It may en'nely change the course
of our lives. II may form new era in our exs-
tence. What we lnle expect may occur. What
we feat, may no, happen.
Tomorrow Away wilh anxiery. Letu lean
on Providence. There is being 10 whom all
the distinctions of lime are The same, and who
is able to dispose every thing for our wise i'm
provement.
