MIoRE LoCoFoCo HARMoNY.--I AZ 9 sggS
Signal, paper which Of late MAJ be e1z
upon as the 'SigDal" of Locofoco discor cs'-
tains long article exposing what sFsi,s
the low cunning Of Dr. Gwin. This aFtsc
represents Tucker and Freeman as the cat.
paws of Gwin and the latter gentleman as III
willy and bitter Zoe Of Albert GaIlatin Brown.
| Gwin is represented as having declined the
nomination for Congress for the purpose Of
ssget.ing the nomination for Governor" and
thereby ousting Gen. Brown, plan which The
1 Signal thinksa complete failure. lit grea'
pity that the devotion to party principles and
self sacrifices made by the Doctor should not be
held in higher estimation by his dearly beloved
Repudiating allies. When he first announ-
ced his determination to decline, he was ladded
to the skies by the Locofoco press-his "gen-
erous and noble sacrifice of personal hUnors
for the good of the party" was held up as a
glorious example to the statesmen of all Chrs-
tendon, and to read the eulogiums and fancy
phrases which were paraded in italics, IN some
of the papers, one would suppose that if
! Van Buren,, Calhoun and Johnson could be
gotten out of the way, thai the magnaniinous
Doctor would have been brought out by accla-
nation for the Presidency. But now. alas,
Harris or Tebo 1--WE will not credit It 10 one
lest the other should be jealousy has come out
to enIighten the world aad declare that ''the
Doctor is nothing more ner less than the pei
sonification Of the word intrigue. He puts
his foot into everything, and the only way to
get rid OF such man, is to set the great dean
ocratic heel upon him."
Oh horror! was ever such ingratitude heard
r siuce the murder of Cesar. Was ever
proposition so preposterous made to an enlght-
q ene1 people. DIR. Gwin, "the fearless champ
ion of Mlssissppi's rights on the floor Of Con-
eress," and mortal foe of Kentucky Bdgg ring
Is in the course ofa few months held up as an
ointria uer too treachcrous and ambitious to on
trusted" and is made the victim to be crushed
by the broad, stitched down, double tackled heel
of Democracy. But few short months
have passed away since the Gallatln Signal
was parading DIR. OWNS great war speech N
Congress-, and so great was the JOY nantes
ted by that paper at the Doctors bdgglng
flourish, that we expected too see the Signal
man dressed from head to toe IN SUIT o. gun
nv bags; and now he 10 invoking the SC uty
stone bruised heel of repudiating democracy to
ssbruise the serpents head" But lest we stoud
be suspected Of exagerating the remarks OF
i, the Signal, we copy from the article the ara
graph which particularly refers to the DOCTOR
leaving old Tallabola and Freeman - iat
! comfort from the portion that refers % tn~r.'
DIR. GWin is mistaken in his power To roe
I the party, by putting thus man off and tha
one on at his discretion. He has long az
tempted TO play this game, and thi1lalp he can
. move politicians about like chessmsR upon
: chessboard. But the parIT is getting sick OF
tins cancussing and management, and they
are getting still more sick of the ambitious n
trigues of such man as Gwln-the Dr. Is
nothing more nor less than personificatIon
of the word intrigue, He puts his foot INTO
very thing, and the ony way to get nd Of suet
man is to set the great democratic heel Upon
him. This tampering with the party will not
be borne with any longer, Gwin is too wea
in intellect to be great man, and too 'reache-
rous. intriguing and ambitious, TO I've trur -
in a position where his intriguing mt
would not disgrace him. He has too
swayed the democratic party by his lBsrig,
and other means, which we will not r7entI7
and VIC intend to hold him mp before tue p;;u

The foregoing paragraph Is but small pof
ton of the Signals casigatlons ofGwin, Tuck.
;. er and Freeman, and as we do not happen tc
q be in the confidence of that holy Trinity, We
Z are unable to advise hem what course to pur-
sue but we would suggest that old Tallabola
should forthwith call out the Capital Guards,
Sto protect the person of DR.. Own against the
"great heel of Democracy" But the Signal
{ seems 10 chide the Doctor, because he is sim
F ported." This seems to us the sorest cut IF
all, as it will be recoIlecied that if the term
"imported' can be applied to the Doctor at
|. all, lie was imported into Mississippi by that
II great object of the Signals IdOlatry (Gen.
: Jackson) and we are somewhat surprised TO
8 see the impudence with which the Signal
dares to disapprove the acts his old lord and
9 master. Verify there aeems TO be no end to
e the presumption ofmodern repudiatorS.
