The Loco Focos, -ior this IS not the Re.
pubiicanism, nor Democracy, as Of old un.
dersiood, but pure uuadul.eraied Loco 70.
coism Of the school Of the New \ ork Pafk,
threaten q repeal o. a cIaaes creating |.
S. Bank.
THIS doctrine Of repeal, as We remember,
was frs; promulgated out OF doors IN front
OF Tammany Hall by the erected Loco 70.
cos OF that place. doctrine not Of the
tmerican sort, but Of European creation,
imported here from toe dark alleys and mar.
row streets Of London, or The Paris Of the
Preach Revolution, but uow subllmaied
and taught by more learned Doctors, such
as Messrs. Dallas lngersol, and others
even sci forth, a; last, abyIl 10 be Ghe watch
word Of party.
Let Us look at the cry Of repeal, re,
peal" " repeal" First, II IS silly, Tor as
long as there Is a Government, or a Consi.
tuition, as long, indeed, as there gsany thing
TINS side of revolution, or cIyli war, there
can be no repeal Of charters, or Of contracts,
but by the consent OF both parties concerned,
or through the action Of the JUDICIARY. and
the Courts Of Law.
An appea! 10 the Supreme Court Of the
United States upon the cous.l,utoualtty Of
Bank Charter, IS well enough, if Loco
Focclsm chooses 10 spend money enough 10
making it. But vii il, 10 tie face Of the
repeated decisions OF that hlgu Tribunal -
Never. Is The cry Of repeal 10 operate
there Never. Ii is silly hen, for Il pro
poses agitation ior an lmpossibl.ity this SIDE
Of revelation. Repeal, then, Oily means
alarm for Stockholders, Or such as might
wish to become stockholders Of Bauk.-
The aim is to .r.tlCa, TO prevent il posi-.
be, the taking o. the stock Of Bank
Added to tbs folly, though, Of these de.
clama,ors for repeal, Is the crime of tho
principle they would lucJlca,e. Where IS
repeal 10 pause, when, or ho~ pom
whom or sha!
II a majority IN Congress can repeal one
charter, the same majority can repeal an-
other. Oar glorious CONSTITUTION itself IS
but charter. /! ls written only On parch.
ment. l. IS bat coairact.
There are many contracts though u this
world, as liable 10 fepea! as pecun,afy con
tracts, and ne more sacred.
Marriage is b., a contract. Already, in.
iced, and often, has Loco Focolsm struck
al that. grea, ally Of Tamuany Hall,
Fanny Wughi, lor example, has preached
It's " repeal often 10 our public places, with
az much probability OF making It popular,
as when Loco Focoism FIRST preached The
repeal Of Bank charters 10 the Park
Make repeal " popular as principle, and
i glll never bah uaif say, at The repeal oil
Bank charters only.
The socla! system IS ONLY coapact.-
Laws are bal contracts, contracts even 10
which We oilea 60 not assent, and against
winch We IclaoGs.ata. " 30 is to decide
Upon the principle Of their repeal, Il repea
becomes The ORDER q tie day. Is maL
alone to vote, lor !. IS oflea conlenjed wo
man has also an equal right Why hm
tie age Of s0a;age 20 2 years Why
rot &c down 70 lie FIRST, as we'll as Up 10 thC
second, childhood All these principles
more or less. are but contracts.
Thus Loco Focoism IN rally upon ihc
cry Of "repea!," " repeal rallies agains
tue organzalgn Ct all society. There q
10 stop to be put to such iaons,rous primer
pies, IL the People can ever be induced Il
adopt them. Ia our country, they bast
been only once adopted, and then in tn
carly DAYS Of the French Revolution, ih'
scene Of wtnch 50 rsySted mankind, lha
taey few from them 20 flag themselves in
