GEN. JACKsoN's FINE. The importance given
to the subject by the Loco Tocos all the coun
try would seem to indicate that they thought (aow-
ing any honesty Of purpose in the maer) the saliva
ton Of the nation depended upon the issue For
more than year resolutions have been crowded by
them upon the State Legislatures and long speeches
made for the purpose Of ins'ructing Congress to re-
fund lr af1rc said fine. And nowit is in Congress,
and fortnight Of tine has been occupied by the 10
co.Focos in speech making rpon the subject. If
these men cared flthing for the cod Roman, or
his fine, why did they not, when they had all the
power vote it TO him Il? Not word was then uttered
in reference to it 1t has come up altogether
subject and has cost the nation thousands OF dollars
already. Ifhc opgh to have it vote it to him; il not
the subject should be put to secpforever. But the
Loco Foco idea doubtless is TO get the Wings to vote
against it and then raise "Jackson fever, and upon
the strength of it run Matty or some other man, who
has principle enough Of political virtue to run
alone into the Presidential chair. When Maty
elected before it was by throwing over him Jackson's
mantle to hide from the people his political deiormi-
ties. So there must he some way TO draw 1t over
him again, and hence this fuss about the fine.
,rF7Tn looking over the last Star we were sur
priscd at the wholesale condemnation by that paper
rthe Wings Of the Massachusetts Legislature, he
| cause they tried or part ofthem-to prevent the
election Of Morton to the Office Of Governor and the
accusation of recklessness is brought against them
Now we supposed the recklessness all the
other side for it is boldly asserted by the Boston
prints that the Loco Foccs, their ends, did
actually buy up member the House, who was
elected as Wing from town which gives Wing
to Loco Foco vote. 7 his rotten member it seems,
was years ago Loco, but pretended to be Wing
for the sake of Office and ready to sell himself to
the .oco- Focos for what he could get lie being a
ssnatural Loco-Foco," has again found his own
| element and given to Mass n Loco.Foco Governor
| The same day that the Star came to hand brought
to the resignation of ono Of the Ioco-Foco mem
bers of the Senate, Of Mass who, being an honest
and conscientious man, driven from body of his
own party, by their reckessness, and the low ends to
which they called him act in con junction with them
selves-and rather than do So he res gned his seat
as Senator and went home disguised by the corrup-
tons and destructive principles Of his party. His
name is Nathaniel Wood, of Worcester County.
And further, so utterly void Of honorable principle
and action has been the conduct Of the LocoFocos of
the Mass Legislature, that many of their party
are greatly dsafIected and iceland we trust will act,
like Senator Wood and, it promises, when the prop
er time comes, stir up the Wing spirit of Massachu
sets degree that will throw ellis accidental
celency' out Of the Chair Of State by good ,o0O
majority against him.
Seeing these things, we were surprised upon read
ing the article in the Star We have read Of certain
kind of ocean fish, which when it trouble gathe
ing, ems fluid to blind the eyes Of enemies unde
! cover Of which it seeks escape.
