Loco Foco CONSISTENCY. The loco tocns have had a great deal to say from time to time about the laws in relation to imprison- ment for debt, and they have been at work tnkering them whenever they have been in power bu; we do not see that they have as yet accomplished any thing important.- A year ago they were very clamornus on the subject, and drove bill through the Legislature in most hasty and indecent manner by the application of the gag.law- The bill was not reported by committee, but simply by an individual, and the pre- vous question cut off all debate upon it, This bill it was claimed would prevent im- prisonment for debt. It was passed-hut 1t has been found 10 to be very objectionable and the wise legislators are still shocked to see men put in prison on ''suspision of ln- tent to defraud by withholding payment. "- At the same time the above bill was passed, a committee was appointed to revise the laws in relation to the collection of debts, &c.- They did so and made their report at the last sesion, which report claims that those laws are defective, and especially the one passed in l642. which was driven through the two Honses in the way described. The committee recommended another which they had been a whole year considering. and what was the rseult! Why our honorable loco focos after six weeks consultation were unable 10 agree upon new law or any al- iteration or amendment of the law ofthe pre- yious session, which their committee deemed so ohiectionable in its details. Such IS loco foco legislation !-New Hauen Palladium
 The removal of Gov. Lincoln from the office of Collector was made while the Pres jdent was in Boston. The N. Y. Commer- cial remarks-"It might hnve been hoped that even if the moral grandeur of the scene of Saturday could not induce the President and the Secretaries yet left to him. to phuse for few days in executing the work oi mons- ing politicians, still that the funeral pail. and the upIifted arm of disease, would be sutti. cient for the purpose. Nay more; 1t such influences are not sufficient to check, even for single week, the career ot madness anu treachery upon which the President and ms constitutional advisers have entered, still, the President while enjoying the hospitalit- ies of the city of Boston, should have had good taste enough to have des'sted from an act so odious as it must be at any time in that community, as the violent removal of Governor Lincoln, and the appointment ot Mir. Rantoul."

 FRoM WAsHrNGToN.-A letter from Wash ington says-"It is understood out al doors, that there is no cordailtv between the members of the Cab'net--that Mr Upshur is violently opposed by Mr. Spencer for Secretary of State, and that Mir \. wants to get man of his own choice in," that place. You will see that Judge Upshur has received the appointment, Gd interim, but the Virginia influence will keep him there. Mir. Porter, the Secretary of War. will have to go out-even Mr. Tyler cannot stand him. It is believed to be inevitable that he will be rejected by the Senate should he be nom- mated, but this is not thought probable" BalA Patriot,
