With but a very small portion Of the Loco iocO

Mr.. Calhoun,
The Calhoun men begin to discover that an
the clamor which the Van Burcn men at one
time made about the support Of state rights.
the adoption Of the Virginia Resolution, south
efn principles, the tariff, &C. &c, was but
shallow prelehse, @ror Preisria Mill" and
was assumed fcr the purpose Of making the
Calhoun party subsidiary 70 the Van Buren,
10 truth, the Calhoun party have not much TO
complain Of in that respect as they united
themselves with the Van Buren, men that they
might convert them into Instruments to effect
their purposes. We think I is little IN
reasonable in the Calhoun men 10 claim that
the Democratic Loco Foeo Farty should hence
forth and forever be bound and united with
them in al their views, because when they
went 10 their aid and support, they the Van
Burenitcs were a miserably defeated and bro
ken down party incapable Of rising 'Per 81"
and but for tho opportune assistance which
they afforded them, they would lodg since
have ceased 70 exist as party, that they alone
enabled them phoenix.like, to rise from their
ashes and corruption, AMI they have sustained
them, until now, they arc allie 70 make res
peetable graphic forthe presidency, and they
the Calhounmon, think that # the party can
win, the spols ought to belong to their Chief
who cried 10 he rescue" However this may
be determined BY these .wo divisions Of the
Greai Democracy, we shall be perfectly satisr
6sd with tho choice they may makei they cant
make the Whigs5un with the weight Of The
tariff question upon them i they aFe true 10
themselves, and We can beat them easily, with
al the positions they may assume.
We have lately seen our noble Chief aud
his eonnlenanco is SO bright and so inspiriting,
his tones so melodious and encouraging, that
mi Whig we have seen. who has looked
upon his beaming face and listened to bis
cheering voice, but feels kind Of assurance Of
success, which bahishes doubt.
For the purpose Of shelving the variety Of
phases, which the same party nolninaIy may
exhibit in different attitudes, we quote from
the Nashville Banner" tie following array
of the opinions oftho different organs Of The
party.
ALL-ALL ARE aDEMOCRATSm
The political organization claiming the con-
venient souriquet democracy" IS at this time
one Of the most motley and mcongruous ANAL
carnations oftbe odd-ends Of al parties which
hes ever come together in this country Com
mingled in the fabble medley, are Tariff, half
Tariff, and no Tariff advocates; Bank, State
Bank, anti Bank, and Hard money men:
Null fer, Fosce-Bill and Anti War Federal
ists Minority and Majority Patriots; DoTites,
Tylenles, Bentonites, Van Bureniies, Cal
hOunites, and various other lies, and yet all
ALL are Democrats!
We viii prove what we say. First, then,
as 70 the Tarif--lhe late Locoloco Conven-
lion at Syracuse, in New York, passed the
resolution:
Resolved, That We are friends Of a perma
lleili iarif sufficient TO meet the wants Of the /
economically administered, and |
in its character, so as to afford |
1r0tsctioa 10 fhs mechanical and manufacturing
without burdening the agricultural and plant |
ng interests; and while we disapprove Of
Iome Of the provisions Of The present tariff as
5eing so high as to be prohibit0ry, and thus /
preventing revenue. we approve the vote Of
mr. senator, Silas Weight, Jf, be being CON-
,elled 10 vote for this BIZ or none, and his
tote would have continued the h0rislntal tariff
axing equally the neecssaries ofthe poor, and
he Injuries Of the rich, and have left the gov
immeni without adequate means TO pay its
Iebb and the people ofthis great nation would
AVE been dHgraeed IN the eyes ofthe civil |
ed world"
To this resolution, the Charleston Mercury,
n. Calhoun's Leading organ, appond5 The fol-
owing strong language:
avery cunning Pf0teciionist and Wing in
he Union must recognise in such a resolution,
D he claims or can desirei and ANY class Of
Democrats. or men claiming TO DO such IN N.
FORK, propose this as tic party platform in ref

art OF l0t with them.

eiween the Syracuse Resolution and Frank.
