ms briet epstle dscloscs three things of consc =
quence-lst. That We are in "niosi remarkab e
eriS''i" I'd. That there is "fI,d majority against
u.s. Loco Focos;l and 81. That "the party in
power Will make violent effort to pass all their
measures with as much dispatch as possible. They
lear delay" We believe the two frst are literally
true. Whatever MIR Calhoun has any thing TO do
with, must have an intimate come ZION with crisis
which, being construed, means very great straits
and difficulties. The '.fTsd majoriiy against as" is
beyond dispute. We hope the last disclosure may
also nc literally true. We trus, the Wings may
urge Their measures with all possible Dispatch
settle all the great questions which the good of the
country require, and adjourn and go home. This
Is what the People desire-what patriotism dictates
md II ITS impulses be too weak, 'ihs fear Of de.
'y' will come IN very opportuney TO urge them on
wards.
But, independent of these facts, VIC think we can
CLEAN another from this pregnant epistle-wbich
should be caution 10 the Wings. We gather
from its tone, that it Is the policy of the Iocoioco
Party 10 spin GU. the seSsion-waStc time and de.
feat action. Ii the wings "fear ,eay"-the Loco.
FocoS desire 1t, Of Ia this they betray the
prominent traits which have ever DISTINGUISHED
thCm They have no feeling for a suffering coun-
uy-ior people reduced from prosperity, Ivy their
mlschevous rule. They are incapable of conten,
plating public measure in any other point ofy;ew
than with strict reference their Sc fish designs and
individual advancement. They would be well
content toscc universal distress peryadin, the lanJ
there were any prospect that thereby they could
rise upon tho ruins, and once more distribute nuonp
themselves the sPoils Of plundered people. IL
would not lee unchiri,able to conclude, iudsino
from their acts, that they would even prefer CONT
nuance and agsravation of the National disorders in
4 mitigation or cure of them by a Wing Admins
tration This, OF all Others TO their fictious spirit
would he result most bitterly to he deprecated
1t would present the Wing Administration in such |
marked contrast to the LocOfoco Administration
1t would so endeir the former To the People, and in
fame the popular wrath against the latter-thc bare
idea IS intocrnblel They would imagine the day,
when TO he suspected of Locoiocoism would he DO |
l'tlcsI damnaton, and to he called Locofoco, the
OIterest r,Proach and the grossest Insult.
The Wings should not lose sight Of this fact
they should bear in mind that the characters of the
Locos TOR the past and all their hopes for the f.
'urc. are based upon Wing mscaunges-And that
TO Illustrate the measures of the Wings, without
respect To the weIire Of the country is, and will
continue to be the ruling principle OF action to the
leaders OF that Faction. The Wings should re.
member this iact-i should put them on their guard
against Locofoco stratcsy-and stimulate them TO
greater exertIons and more harmonious action.
