BENJAMIN WEAVER,

WILLIAM ANTHONY,
NATHAN T.. DIXON.

We copy the following, in our opinion
very correct remarks, from late num-
Der of the Providence Journal.
eve have referred to the fact that tho
recent outbreaks in different parts Of tho
country, and which are regarded by
lhoug ghtlu! men with the most serious
are directly chargeablo
to the spirit of Locoiocoism. They are
the Legitimate offspring Of that law defy
ing principle. No man at ali familiar
with The causes Of these disturbances,
and with the mode of their origin, and
their consummatIon, can doubt this
No man who will thoroughly and de-
liberatcly examine the principles of
Locoiocoism, can wonder at it, There
is nothing which more strikingly marks
the distinction between the two great
parties than the reverence for law, and
the forms Of law, on one side, and the
contempt for them on the other. When
a wrong hes been accomplished, or at.
tempted, through u violation Of the sa-
cred forms Of law, the support and the
sympathy have come from the Locofoco
party ; the same party which pressed
the admission Of Michigan, which raised
up the Mormon power in Illinois, which
Juslifes Reputation in Mississippi, which
perpelrated the Elliott frauds in New
Orleans, which encouraged Dorrism in
Rhode Island, and which, by the naltery
of the foreign population, prepared for
the riots in Pennsy y!vania tho same
party which now seeks, by the violation
of solemn treaty s,ipulations, by the
sacrifice Of national honor, and by tho
commission of the grossest public per-
Hdy, TO lorcbly annex Texas aud u
large portion Of Mexico to this Union.
This party is now appealing to the peo-
pie for perpetuaton of power, and in
II few months the great question will DO
decided, whether the people will again
en'rust to such hands the guardianship
of their free institutions. 1t is no. a
time when man, imbued ever so slight
ly with conservative feelings, can pause.
There is but one party with which tho
conservative interests Of the country are
safe, and that is the Wing party. He
who hosi'ales to support that party upon
any grounds OF temporary cxpediency,
sacrifices the government itself to a
question of its administration.

| hasten to inform you Of melancholy

on Saturday last
This city was thrown into grea, ex-

of its inhabitants in mourning, and crea-

most respected inhabitants reside, as

Two small STEAMBOATS, ply every hour
during the day between the two places,
so that the number Of passengers is large,

Saturday was one of these days, and
at 4 O'Clock IN the afternoon about 800
passengers entered on board from the
