Gj'Therc is no mistaking Loco Focosm where
evcrt is exhibited. Though it always adapts It's
cloak to the climate, and wears whatever gar
ment is most in fashion, It's deiomlty Is still the
same, and defics the utmost power of conceal
ment. 1t is ultra Tarif'in Connecticut and ultra
Free Trade in this city: yet its spirit in both
places is alike radical, destructive and dishonest.
So in Abany-where the Loco Foco ma ority in
the late Common Council signalized their exit by
an excess of meanness. of which no other party
could by any possibility have been guilty. The
majority learned on Wednesday that they had lost
their places which were to be filled for the next
year by Wings the first thing they did, there
fore, was to cut down the salaries of members for
the future, leaving untouched those which they
have all along been receiving. Their next exploit
was to lease the South Ferry for three gears to
two Loco. Focos, at S1500-when they had
offers from responsible men of $4,000, $4,000 and
$4,000 for the same lease, thus robbing the city
treasury OF $500 per annum for the sake of pen
sioning two of their own men. The next push
was too clearly an outrage even for Loco foco
audacity. twas proposal that the demands of
an Alderman Downing, who has made himself

cnd the Alderman was forced to submit his &C
counts to the Auditors as prescribed by law
How he will fare in their hands remains to be seen.
COMMANDER MAcKESzlE.-Prcsident TYLER
confirmed the proceedings of the Court Martial IN
the case of Commander Mackenzie without any
expression Of appreciation or disapprObatiOn on
the part of the PreSdcnt,-no such expression
being necessary We notice the matter again
as the important words in italics were omitted In
the first official publication from which we copied.
We think the rumor that the decision of the
Court Martial was minority decision, which
has been published in the Herald and Journal OF
Commerce, must have been uniounded The
American SAYS that every member OF the Court,
including the Judge Advocate, is solernnly sworn
10 keep secret the proceedings of the Court and
not to reveal them even to the President or Secre
terv except III Court of Justice. II the rumor
be true therefore, some member OF the Court must
have committed perjury and this IS certainly
violent suppostion-especally whezI founded en-
tirely upon an anonymous report. The editors OF
the Journal of Commerce We're called upon BY
relative OF Commander Mackenzie to learn upon
what authority they made the statement but
they declined 10 give it. We observe that the
citizens of Westchester county-iwhere CON-
mander Mackenzie resides are to hold meeting
at Tarrytown on Thursday next TO congratulate
him upon his acquittal.
