I.OCOFOCO TACTICS.

The resolutions Of the recent locoioco State Con-
vention set forth the tactics Of the party, so far as
the leaders permit the public 10 sec; perhaps we
will try to ride into office II is our purpose
briefly to suggest the policy which they adopt, leav
ing more extended notice Of some points TO future
time.
On tho TlriE, they mean TO practice the game
of last year-the same arts and the same dccep-
ton.
The Sub Treasury is to be approved, and ma
tional bank, and any connection of tho Govetnmcnt
with banks, is condemned.
The School Fund they have determined 10 make
n party question! and they go against abrogating
the fund or divetirg it from its original purpose
II will not he wonderful if these gentlemen find them
selves in this the advocates Of an immense State Debt
Or Direct 7a4Gtion IF The People, for the benefit Of
futurity.
The State DcJt they intend TO harp upon, as
usual; and they revive their old cry against cor
porations, unless private property is holden for
debts.
Our readers may from this, that the locoiocos
ard determined TO besege the people with all the arts
and appliances in their power They are bent upon
making rush his year, for the State and for Con-
grcssmcn; and desperate rush, too as next year
the responsibility of the action of Congress will be
on their shoulders, and preclude the deceptive game
on the Tariff, which they think they now play
with IMMUNITY. 1t is time for the Wings TO bcsr
themselves, and prepare to sustain their welleerned
reputation for Gaithrulness -Watchman.

We have received the above Communication
from one who was indebted to us for our Paper.
And although he has taken the advantage OF the
Bankrupt act, yet we have sufficient confidence in
his homo. TO believe that if he is ever able he will
pay us what he owes us. Though man may be
legally nbsolved from paying bis debts yet If able,
he is never morally absolved And more than this,
though a man is by law discharged from the pay
ment of his debts, yet If he is truly honest man,
he will do all in his power by labor and economy
and industry to acquire the means Of paying MS
soon as possible all that he owes. The pecuniary
disasters and embarrassments that have within a
we trust will prove a lesson and warning to our
young men. Let them be careful how they run
into wild and exlavagant speculations. Let them
practice Gfugalty, aud economy, living within their
means, and laying by something for the future.
The discipline of character in acquiring property
may be of great service. II man sets out with
the determination that in all things he will be up
right and honest that he will practice no mean and
selfish acts that he will deal justly with all, he
may make the acquisition Of property contribute to
his mortal and moral culture.
