Loco Foco PRINcIPLEs.-In our last
paper, we charged the loco focos, who
wish to prevent the collection of debts
in other than Mississippi Union Bank
notes, with having abandoned their prin-
ciples. and that they were the leaders in
meetings for that purpose. We have
been accused OF doing that party inius-
tice in saying they took the lead, but
whether we were in error or not, we are
not yet satisfed,-being absent ourself
AS the friends of each party charg it
upon the other. But however it is mat
ter Of little Importance who took the
lead, and although the paper orator of
the day was Of the loco foco party, and
brought with him las we are informed,)
the resolutions, all ready cut and dried,
that were offered for adoption to the
meeting, and the several attempts made
to gag the " Wig who so CALAMITY op-
posed them, and the object of the assem-
bly,, yet if we admit they were not the
leaders, they still occupy no better posi-
tion than before, in regard to their pro-
fessed principles. We have been told
by several of our loco foco friends that
they were opposed to the adoption ofthe
resolutions proposed at the meeting, and
voted accordingly, to such we give all
credit as consistent and honest politicians
who adhere to their expressed opinions
in favor of the constitutional currency,'
while those who now wish to cram the
worthless rags of the broken institutions
Of the State down the threats of our
creditors, occupy the unenviable posi-
ton Of advocating the ''Gold and Silver
'sConstitutional currency" and at the
next moment practising principle d.
rectly opposite. The fact is, that in all
meeting opposed to the administration
of the6Nws and in favor of ''forcing the
rags"rhe speakers and introducers OIL
the resolutions were loco foco partizans.

This same loco foco who

would have discoursed you an hours
