LOCO Foco PROFESSIONS.

LOCO FOCO PROFESSIONS.
The Loco Focos have ever prolessed I,
be the exclusive friends Of the labonne
class Of the communicable guardians
and protectors of the poor, BIT we re
joice that the time is approaching, ay'
has arrived, when the people can no Ion
ger be deceived by such hollow pro!es
sions, and baseiess assertions. The wanc
Of the Demagogues has been broken.---
The people in 1910 burst assuHde the
CALLING letters of loco (ocosm--those fet
tiers which for twelve tedious years hac
paralyzed the noblets efforts Of the hus
bandman, the manufacturer, and the
tradesman, which had destroyed the com.
merce of great and growing nation
and spread ruin and misery throughout
our once smiling and prosperous land
And can it be that they will now, when
they have been released from their long
and tiresome bondage, humbIy and with
out struggle, submit again to the yoke
Of party which rules with so despotic q
sway? Will they, because the Wings
have been basely and wckedly betrayed
by an unprincipled hypocrite, consent
that the reins Of Stale shall be again
placed ia the hands Of the spoilsmen
IL we have not misinterpreted the spirit
Of the age and the character of the Amer
lean people, they will not. Having once
been aroused to q glorious, though bar
rem victory, having once vanquished the
hosts of misrule and corruption, they
know that they have the strength to do
so again, and they are determined to do
it. Eighteen hundred and forty-four will
tell the tale of peoples complete and
final redemption from all the woes and
suferings which have been produced by
the misconduct offaithess rulers.
Never was there a claim more ground.
less, more utterly destitute Of all founda-
ton in truth than that set up by the Lo-
co focos of being the exclusive friends Of
the poor. 1t has over been an easy
matter to make professions Of patriotism
and political honesty, but to &C! up TO these
professions is quite different thing =
Like the coward who makes the greatest
Sho,o of bravery, the leaders Of the loco
foco loco party who are the loudest in
their professions Of patriotism, and talk
most about their 'sdemocracy,'--those
dear people-loving politicians ARE ge-
nerally most free from the influence Of
the principles which they profess. The
best criterion by which to Judge ola mans
real sentiments, is his actions. PROBES
sions unaccompanied by corresponding ac
tions are worthless. They are as base
less as the air-castles of The enthusiast,
and the man who makes them is not to
be trusted. Now, Loco Focoism has al
ways proiessed, as before remarked, great
and regard for the laborers
and manufacturers Of this country, and
yet whenever it has been called upon to
act, it has proved itself to be their MOST
BITTER AND DEADLY ENEMY. 1t proposes to
establish system Of policy which would
PROSTATE the whole Manufacturing. Com
mercial and Agricultural interests ofthe
and reduce the wages Of the la
borer to level with those OF the half
starved serfs Of Europe. This is the
kind Of love which loco focoism en-
lertans for the people. Like the love OF
he libertine it seeks only to allure, to
corrupt, to destroy. 1t is such love as
his that leads the loco focos to keep up
| continual war against the re.establlsh-
nent Of a sound national currency lit is
;uch love as this that induces them TO ca
er 10 the passions and prejudices OF the
,eople and to attack the tariff Of l842,
hat great remedial measure which has
lone so muchto palate the distresses oil
he country--distresses too, which were
'rought about by their own mlsmanaGe-
nent and quackery. @*
We donot remember a single act in
he whole catalogue of National Legis-
alton, for the last ten years, that has
cen followed BY so many happy conse-
uences as the present tariff. Under its
enign influences the country is rapidly
eviving from The distressing paralysis
nat has SO long retarded her onward
,arch to glory and to wealth. The Ma
onal and State credit has been rescued
roms the deep disgrace into which it had
allen, aid business, in all its multiplied
apartments, is assumingi its wonted health
nd activity. The old cry that all duties
institute nothing more nor less than
tx which must ultimately fall upon the ,
onsumer, has been forever exploIel;
nd il is now ascertained by actual expe. :
ment, that almost every article which ,

'ade caicoes, cloths, and dry goods Of
very description so much cheaper this Ii
