ALARM OF THE LOCOFOCOS |!

CON i EnNA1ION AM DISTRESS OF The

We we're upon the point of offering some re-
marks upon the desperate thrces of the leaders
of the Locofoco party, as exhibited by the Albany
Argus, Albany Atlas, Ne,D York Plebeian, Rich
aond Enqnirer, Ohio Statesman, &C., &C.. in
view of the present gloomy prospects of their
party, when the following met our eye in the
Philadelphia Native American, of yesterdays
date, which we copy:
THE LAST GENERAL ORDER
We ask special attention to the following para.
graphs from the Albany Argus-the very War
wick of its party
The PENNSYLVANIA ELECTIoN-THE UNION
OF Who's AND NATIvEs.-The returns from
Pennsylvania have undoubtedly surprised the
Democrats in all sections of the Union The ma.
jority of $500 in Philadelphia city and county for
Markle, was far more than was anticipated. If
the cause which brought about this result is fully
uHucToloou, we CouilueHlIy DelleVe THAT ~ Will
turn out to the Wing party triumph they will
deeply regret. The sagacious will see that it
can be made mighty lever to array against them,
in November, thousands and tens oil thousands Of
votes, which otherwise would have been cast for
the Wing candidates. 7. @a.1
1t is now we'll known fact, that the Wings of
Philadelphia entered into coalition with the Ma
tives-(somewhile called churchburners')-
whereby they agreed to vote for Markle, if the
Wings would vote for their Congressional and
County ticket. This is the fact, in spite of all
the garbled perversions of the Wing editors who
have the sagacity to see that the victory in Phia-
delphia may ruin the cause of Henry Clay, even in
Ohio and Maryland .a.
Democrats, be up, then, and doing. Speed the
intelligence of the coalition of the Wing party
and Natives through town and county, village and
hamlet, from Maine to Louisiana. GO AMONG
THE 100000 GERMANS, AND THE $4,000
SONS OF IRELAND IN OHIO. Announce
to them the result in Philadelphia Place the
simple facts before them, and they will go en-
2nasse for the Democratic candidates.
Democrats of Maryland, GO AMONG YOUR
CATHOLIC POPULATION who compose the
majority in your State Tell them the facts, and
they can never unite with party which has coun-
tenanced the mob which desecrated their affairs
and their churches in Philadelphia.
Democrats of Indiana, go among the Swiss and
Germans, and the Irish Of your State Speed
the news of the coalition, and Indiana will 90
against Henry Clay.
Democrats of the Empire State, the great duty
rests upon you. We have at least 1000 voters
within our limits, who have become adopted citi-
gems, as faithful to our country as any within its
borders. Among them speed the result in Phila-
delpha, and they can never ally themselves with
party so proscrptive and Liberal. ~
SO far from regarding the result in Philadelphia
with dependency, we hail it as dispensation, if
properly used, for The overthrow of The Wing
party in Ohio, (no matter how the October cleo
ton may go,) Indiana, Mary land. and New York.
But to do this, there is work before US. 1t re-
qulres energy, organization, and a devotion Of
time, not in violent speeches, nor in huge mass
conventions, but in calm, unimpassoned state
ments TO THE MILLIONS OF ADOPTED CITIZENS OF
OUR LAND. Their true friends will now be known.
All disguise is thrown off
On this the New York Herald (Loco) remarks
1.-THE usual sagacity of the Argus appears to
have deserted it in the present trying emergency.
We know, indeed, that in time of extreme peril,
when danger presents its threatening aspect, the
stoutest heart and the soundest head may for a
moment be shaken The Argus sees the Danger
and cannot conceal its alarm. Hence this appeal
But it is an unwise appeal. 1t can only do harm.
1t can only hasten the catastrophe which it seeks
to avert 1t was this very business of appealing
to the sectaran, the NATIONAL the local prejudices
OF particular classes of the community, which crc-
ated the Native party. And now the Argus,
in last mad endeavor to retrieve the fortunes of
the Democratic party, comes out and makes an
open and undisgused appeal to the Irish, the
Swiss, and the Germans-calling on them by all
their national prejudices, by all their sectarian
feelings by all their hatred of the church burn
ers,' to come to the support of Mr.. Polk. What
possible effect can this have but to consummate
the dreaded union Of the Wings and Natives =
truly, truly, the plot thickens.'
We do not know as much about " sagacity" as
the Herald, but we have instinct enough to I'M
derstand such an appeal as the above.
And so every true disciple of Democracy is to
become missionary for the next three weeks, to |
preach in every hamlet of the land prescription
against the sons of the soil They are to waken |
every mercenary spirit in the land-every child
of despotism, and lead them to crusade against |
the only people who can sit under their own vein
and fig tree without fear.-Phik Natiue American.
