son, Van Buren, and The federal party,
trelDe years TO tear down---to suppose that
the miscbicfs which the country now sut-
fers, which were brought On by series Of
bad measures, can be repaired IN an IN
siant, is as preposterous and absurd as to
suppose that patient, almost reduced to a
skeleton by qaaekery, can be restored TO
vigorous health and energy in day. And
pray, will the Locos who now so Justify
cry out e" hard times," disregard Of pro-
niises," &c. &c. please tell us why 1t IS
they expect--or rather what right they
have to expect-that these hard times
which their measures brought about
times which all now are wiling to acknowl.
edge deSPerate--are to be 50 suddenly
changed. Win they reflect that since the
elevation of Gen. Harrison to the Pres-
dency, and Up to the present moment, the
Van Buren, system--the Sub-Treasury
has been and is get in full operatlon.-
Nearly every Loco Foco editor in the
Union, has indirectly condemned the Sub.
Treasury within the last three months
uuconsciously, to be sure; but they have
admitted that shines are hard" and that
the Wings have ialsifed their prolnises, to
make them easier ; and, as the Van Buren,
system is still m operation, they must
other admit they have eadeayored to de.
ceiUe the people, or they, like toe Wings,
are Opposed to the system introduced by
the late administration. Either horn Of
the dilemma places them in an unenviable
light. No, the body cannot regain It's
health and strength, until the disease be
destroyed; aud no man ought to expect
that the Republican party can work so MT
raculous cure, as to place the wheels oil
government in such order, III a moment,
that all the complicated machinery attach
ed, will perform their office smoothly and
correctly. They must first destroy the
disease, then nourish the body. Congress
is now in session, and tie odlous Sub Tfea-
sury system has received its condemnation
on the part oil the Senate. In few days
the same good act on the part of the House
viii be accomplished, If it has not been
4 already. When that is done, then it will
be incumbent upon the republican party
TO propose and adopt some other system,
whereby the interests Of the country will
be consulted and protected. After this
system is 10 full operation, then, if times
are no better, the Locos can complain with
some cause; but they, and all Of us must
recolect, that this sysiem can't be put in
successful operation IN Il minutc-in day,
or month, or year, aud it will he juei as fall
lacious to suppose that every thing will be
prosperous the moment Bank Is charter.
cd, as it was to suppose that hard times
would cease upon the day Gen. Harrison
succeeded Van Buren,. 1t must get fairly
into operation-the crippled state Of com
merce must be restored to lis wonted vigor
the channels Of trade re-opened, and the
impediments which have 50 long clogged
the wheels Of the manufacturer and me-
chanic removed, &C., g., and then pros
perity will oncc more gladden. the hearts
Of I'll classes then, confidence VIII be re-
stored-lhen, the honest laborer Will re-
ceive fair recompense for his services
then, the farmer Will not be obliged to
make large sacrifices in eXchangc-he can
sell his produce, his stock, and receive in
payment currency good and sound all
over the Unlon--then, the hardy and in-
dustrious settler will be relieved from the
exorbitant tax to which he is now subject
ed IN obtaining Land Office money, TO buy

this glorious state Of Affairs cannot be
brought about to-day, nor Tomorrow, but

The above excellent article SIC copy from
The ST. Louis Bulletin. We commend it TO
the Looos who now so strongly pronounce
the times hard. Before the Election last
summer, they could not believe that affairs
were out Of jeint, but now, poor tender
hearted creatures, they bewail the sad sit
uaiion of the country and imploringIy in
quire, why the Wings have not made mat
tiers betterl yet in spite Of this they OPP
pose every measure in which the Wings
intend to bring about a change Of affairs
They oppose the Bank-they oppose the
distribution of the proceeds of the public
lands--thoy oppose the removal Of corrupt
and prodigate oilice-holders, and they OPP
pose every measure that offers tie least
chance of amelioration but they are in
favor of every measure which has brought
Us to our present condition. Oh, locos !!
what a patriotic band

"THE GAG"
The locoGoco faction in Congress, after
rcsorting without scruplc to every expedi-
ent that was possible, 10 delay and obstruct
the passage of any measure OF relief, have
at last been checked in their career Of evil
and mischief. Why does not Congress do
its dutyl Why do the Wings not act when
they have the majority Why do they run
