LOCOFOCO POLICY DEFINED BY

Same debate.
From the reports of a single days debate
in Congress, furnished by the National In
tellieencer, we copy the above extracts We
shall give more ere long, but for the present
we add only the following extract from a
letter. from Washington in the U. S.
Gazette -
SIN the course of the day [July I3] Mr.
Roosevelt. one of the Locofocos Represen-
tatives from the city of New York, said he
trusted that eren if The tariff bill. became a
Iaw of this session, IT WOULD BE
SHORT LIVED; that the next Congress
would be a DEMOCRATIC FREE
TRADE Congress, which WOULD RE-
PEAL THE BILL"
Here we have, then, open and bold avow-
ais of the course which the locofocos in
Congress have determined 10 pursue. These
avowals are not made by a single man. on
his own responsibility by men from
the North, the South, the Centre, and the
West: they speak unreservedly, and the
first and the last profess to indicate the
course of the entire party. And what re-
ally is the policy of locofocoism Let the
answer be from their own mouths We go,
say they, FOR FREE TRADE, HARD
CURRENCY, DIRECT TAXATION,
and REPEAL OF THE TARIFF aohich

has been long since exploded. 1t has made
its dupes, but thank Heaven it has made lis
last. The people have learned to compare
the ir practices with their professions, and
despise the imposture and the imposition.
The aristocratical, monarchical and demor-
alizing fruits of a party which claims all the
democr acy, are only worthy the Oldest des-
potisms of the East. We defy any man to
point out a single measure fthe two last
loco administrations, in which they identi-
fled themselves with popular rights, or dis.
covered the least attachment 10 those noble
sentiments of democracy, liberty and equal
ity, which opens the hearts, and extend the
hand of protection TO all classes and condi.
tons of our fellow citizens, and singly re
gard the common welfare. The country
has long since been satisfied that locofoco
ism cares nothing for "the masses" but
goes staight for the spoils, and even john
Tyler is now satisfying them, since they are
again admitted to taste the treasury pap,
from which it is as difficult to drive them,as
hungry wolves from the Warm hood they
have Just been tapping.

As 10 the sufficlency of cause for impeach-
meat, as far as know, there Is l'tle difference
OF opinion as to the mere question OF ex1edi-

men. who fear a sympathy may se created in

bic TO suffer a mad deg 10 escape that Iun

of Kill him. MIR. Tyler has prosecuted too

BEAUTIES OF CAPT. TYLHR's MODE OF
COLLECTING DUTIES IN THE
ABSENCE OF LAW.

COLLECTING DUTIEs IN THE
ABSENCE OF LAW.
A mercantile house of this city imported
within few days a cargo of Swede's iron
into Boston, and about the same time guam
tity of precisely the same description into
New-York The excess of duty charged IN
New-York would pay the freight between the
two places. Is this duty uniform through
out the Unised States agreeablg to the Con-
stituton? If such discrepancy exists on
Swede's iron, the quality of which is uniform
and the value easily ascertained, what may
be expected of other goods that are various
in quality and indefinite in description. 1t IS
the interest of every city to admit goods at
as low duty as possible, that she may m
duce the business ofother cities and that 9th
err cities may not entice hers. Under this
practice how long will it be before the impor-
tation of all light articles that can be easily
transported from one place to another, Will
be brought 10 that port where it is understood
the valuation is least, or how long will 1t be
before the tonnage of n. York will be trans
ferred to Boston, The natural tendency OF
the system that Capt. Tyler has promulga-
ted 'irithOut such regulations as may be pre-
scribed By lalc,' is to encourage an appraise-
ment below the real value, to make uncer-
tain the calculations of trade and 10 give adj
vantages to that port in which the appraisers
are least regardful of the claims of honesty
and truth.

PRosPECrs. The correspondent of the
Tribune says there is no doubt Capt. Tyler
will veto the tariff bill. The coalition will
not permit him to approve any bill which
would give protection to american industry.
He has set himself up against congress and
in the vain hope to bring that body into
disrepute, he will defeat all legislation de-
signed for the relief of the country.
