time, the locofoco part has been celebrated for
unity OF purpose and concert Of action. So much
so tina, nothing could occur sufficiently aggrava,ing
10 create schism in il. Personal and sectional
preferences seemed TO k,ow no other rule than TO
s,Ihe complaints and acq,iesce in the mandates o.
the constituted jictators ,fier their commands were
issued, however violent temper may have been
exhibited. Haze Msoon came TO pass
tina, these trainers Of creeds for cher mems belief
employed their unlimited power to an
exien, which was never anticipated by NE subjuga,
ed, and to impose dogmas upon them which at ear
ler periods would have been secuted as TIE wildss,
conceptions Of madmen, the narrow conirvances
of fools or the rascally impudence Of knaves.-
They we're required 10 sustain the president in his
headong rage against THE United States Bank, but
with the ds,inct expectation that another National
institution OF the kind, which should be free from
objections would be speedily reared upon its ruins.
Since tina, ,ime the party has been gradually whes-
died along from one step 10 another-required to
sustain one excess after another, iii, in ls43 they
are bieden to demosh every feature of Americdnisn
in our national policy at single blow. In accor-
dance with the heretofore undispu,ed prerogaive,
the grea, chef,ains in the approaching presidential
race, have exhibited their political principles, in the
full expectation of being supported by the party at
large. But as there several fierce competitors
in the field the first time in the history o!oeoism
holding somewhat diverse sentiments, and each one
with large body Of determined supporters, we may
almos, hope this Leagucd lniquity has reached its
rpened state, and that its decay will be as rapid as
the most ardent can wish.

and the diverse sentiments held by it in different
sections, together with the shifting. vascillating,
cheating, unmanly assembling and knavish course
pursued by it some of the leading questions Of
the day. have at leas. had the effect Of arraying
members ofits own household in deadly opposition
to each other The South have been iattered that
the protective policy Of the country, which produces
SO signal benefit to free labor, to be abandon
ed by that party, and on the strength Of that hope,
the south has supported that tary;-.nd will be
satisfied with nothing, save unconditional freetrade
personated and secured in the person Of John C.
Calhoun in the Presidential chair The Free
States, on the contrary, seemingly regarding this

assurance that the party would suitably provide for

sequenty several of the free states have manifested
decided determination TO supper, northern man,

and cajoling nave at least produced their natural
effects, and the loco party at this moment are in
more dvisible state than any other party has been
for many years. And its chickering's and divisions
are Of such nature that il is not reasonable to sup
pose they can be harmonized. The several fac
tons have lied to- and deceived each other and
each has now found out The true character Of the
other. The adverse sections cannot even agree
upon the time Of holding nominating convention
much less on a nomination itself. New York has
nominated Van Buren,; Pennsylvania Mr. Buchanan;
Georgia and other states, Mr. Calhoun,-each OF
which have SO strong preference for their respeo-
live candid aies, that to give up and unite on any
one, appears now be entirely out ofthe question.
