porters-that there should be some means of con.
yevjnr to the minds of the people in n sinple
phrase the most striking points of dissimiloritv.
and rive a guidance to the judgments of those
who are affected by prejudice. We see that
from the earliest period of our political existence
parties have had names, chosen from this prin.
ciple-and accordingly we have heard of the
FGieruls, Republicans, .JGtrsonians and other
parties in olden times, and of the Loco Focos.
Conservatives and Log Cabin Boys, in these la
ter days. All of these names have imported a
peculiar Specification, applicable to some char
a~cteristic of the party it designated, either de-
rived from some point in its history, or shadowing
forth some principles in its code of bel.ef. With
those parties which are extinct we need not con-
Germ ourselves at presented the fitness or UNI
fitness of their names. we need not now iudre
but passing them by, let us admire the peculiar
aptness of the apyeliations given by common con-
sent to the parties which now distract the
National Council and divide its numerous con.
stituency. And first the "Loco-Fioco'' party :
What a fearful infammable, destructive designa-
ton, and how typical and distinguishing of the
party which recognizes it! The material how
discordant its object how ruinous 1t brings
to mind none but the most terrible IDEAS, and
calls up fearful associations. The fiery fur
mace with Shadrack, Meshack and Abednego
fits across the vision, and John Rogers stake of
torment dances in prospective before us; there
is no mercy, compass on, or virtue of any sort IN
the name and t is a true index of the party.
1t lights up only to consume, and was made
only TO consume, and was made only for objects
of destruction but-and it is it's only virtue
it bears with it the elements of its own ruin.
These views of its nature and tendency gave
rise to the next-the {" Conservative" party, and
the name imports all that is wanting in the 9TH
i, err. In the place of fear it inspires confidence
r for terror, it gives hope-for destruction, it
promises salvation. 1t is a pillar of cloud which
will be a safe guide to an oppressed people ant
c lead to the restoration of their long suspended
e liberty and prosperity. This, too, explains the
Y party it belongs to-. But the "Log CaJin'
, party, what does that name signify! 1t speak.
