"MOCCASIN TRACKS,.


We have received letter from an nteIli.
gent gentleman Of Kentucky, whose means of
knowledge upon the subject are ample, unfold
ing scheme ofthe locoloco party for checking
the progress Of reform, which it we'll behooves
the wings 10 counterfeit. The following ex-
tract exposes stupendous system Of election
eering at the expense Of the people, (which has
been ,concocted at Washington City, and which
will be pushed to the utmost resources of the
treasury.
"At this moment the whole country is infes-
ted by band of vampires, under the insiduous
guise ofpost-office agents, at an expense to the
government of eight dollars a day each, whose
ostensbe duty it is to examine into the condi.
ton of the different post-oiiices, but whose real
business is to solicit subscriptions for that nox
ious sheet the Extra Globe, and to superintend
the organization Of the party in all the States

. There can be but little doubt that the post
Office department is TO be administered with ex
press reference to the approaching elections
The transfer of KENDALL to the Globe, was de-
signed to quicken the party into active opera
tons, and the selection Of NILES to succeed the
''heaven born," was suggested by his pIiancy
and unscrupulousness. The beginning Of KEN
DALL's career as adjunct to the Globe, has been
marked by revival Of the hopes OF the party
His address has been circulated even more ex>
tensively than ever the presidents message
was; and subscription list has been made up
for him which renders it absolutely certain

his abandonment Of the post-oifice depart

From the hissngs of that viper there can be
but small danger. The public are not so lost
to all the nober emotions of our nature as to
be influenced by the rawlings of man whose
connection with the present dynasty was sig.
nalized by an act of ngratitude so base, so vii
famous and SO monstrous as to make one shud.

human heart; but the combining the vast ma.
chinery Of the post-office with scurrilous
sheet, making probable that none other than
congenia documents will have transmission
through the public mails, should awaken the
anxious soIicitude and vigilance OF the friends
Of liberty and reform. No organization can

And now that the party have become alarmed

We would warn the wings, especially those
who have been selected as candidates, electors
and placed upon responsible committees, thai
they must not rely too much upon the post-of.

have to visit the people at their homes-theil
log cabins, and reason with them upon the pos

ruined condition of the people; of commerce
