how CAR the locotoco party lay claims to excu-

ROW DYISN.

The loco(ocos finding that the Ladies
will not attend their meetings, and having
concluded that it must be owing to the
want of decency which prevails at them,
have resolved it would seem, to try tn
bring wing meetings down 10 a par with
their own. For that purpose some OF
their drunken DULLES have lately been
found to attend them, and by their gross
mlsbehavlor to attempt to get up melee.
For that purpose graceless scamp came
to our mass meeting on the 22nd, and be.
haved SO outrageously that it became ne,
cessary for strong armed wing to give
him quietus by applying his fist few
times to the side his head.
And we observed in the crowd that day
some who stand fair in society, and high
in the Poke party, trying to draw attention
to themselves by quibbIing at the speaking
and thus to all intenls and purposes dis
turbing the meeting. Now they may raise
what objections they please to what our
speakers say at proper time and place,
but we would hint to the gentlemen in
question, that on similar occasions they
had better keep their mouths shut or they
may be stopped by like modus opcrandi.

British GOld-British Influence

The loooiecos charge upon tho wings that
they are "swaycd by British influence and bought
by British Gold" Now overy Wig spurns the
foul charge from him with Indignation and
scorn and brands the man who makes it a liar
and a seoaad,eL But let us look at the matter
and see if there is not evidence enough to prove
that the locoiocos are "swayed by British influ-
encc and British gold"
The statesmen Of Great Britain are anxious
That Free Trade principles should prevail in this
country, because in that case an immense mar
ket would be opened for their products The
locoiocoS are in favor of Free Trade, hence are
IN favor of British interests and therefore under
BRUSH influence. They understand this matter
in England they there denominate the wings
the Tarlffparty, and the locoiocos the Free Trade
party. The London Atlas of July Goth, while
ii deprecatcs our Tariff policy taking their corn
laws in view, remarks, ''nor can we wonder that
such is tho pol icy of the most respectable and
enlightened statesmen of America" "a liberal
commercial policy three years ago." it says,
''would have prevented the passing ofthe restric-
tive Tariff of the United States, and would have
given decided asccndency in that country to
Free Trade principles, and to the Free Tale
party" "The election of Mr. Clay" it also
says, Unjust we fear, be looked upon as, to a
considerable extent, confirmation of the princi-
pie of commercial restriction He has always
been the CONSTANT advocate of Protective
Tariff" They would apply the term "restrlc-
tive" you will know, to any tariff however light.
Here then we have by testimony which the loco
focos cannot gainsay, because from those who are
best able to speak, that the wings are opposed to
British interests and in favor of American inter-
ests, and that the locofocos are the reverse
consequently under British influence But it is
not necessary to bring the testimony of citizens
of Eng land, one reflection Of common sense must
convince any man that the advocates of Free
Trade are in favor Of British interests.
Has not Mr. Polk al,rays been Free Trade
man We refer you, reader, to all his speeches.
Does any man doubt that the locofocos are the
Free Trade party' We retor that man to the
ia ct, that wherever throughout this wide spread
land, paper is found advocating Free Trade, it
is found to be a locofoco paper. Such is the
case rithom single exception.
And whom do you find advocating the Tariff?
The Wings, all the time the Wings. True some
locofoco orators and some ocofoco papers, in
places where the tariff is popular, say they are for
the Tariff, but you never once heard them argue
of its utility. an the convincing arguments in
favor Of the Tariff come from wing speakers and
wing papers, and the Polk party when they find
the wings have convinced the people, try 10 steal
from them the fruit of their labors.

For The Whig.

On the 22nd inst. the day of the great
Wing Mass meeting al Elkton, some of
the good wings of Bohemia Manor, who
could not leave their business to attend il,
thought they must do somthing to add TO
the eclat Of the occasion; SO in the after
noon they repaired TO Bohemia Cross
Roads where they planted two fine ash
poles, 40 feet in height, one on each side
of the road, and suspended beautiful
wreath between them for the delegations
from the lsl district and Kent county to
pass under. 1t was composed Of the three
grand staples Of Maryland, corn wheat and
tobacco, and embellshed with clusters of
delicious fruits, peaches apples, grapes, SIC.
Within the centre of the wreath was a
white banner will, the following inscrip-
ton, 'Proteclion for the products Of our
SOIL" "'rhe Free labor of own country,
against the Pauper labor OF Europe" on
one side, and CLAY" on the reverse.
The poles, banner and wreath stood
there until Saturday. On Saturday night
the loco(ocos with all the rapatily of ma
RAIDERS, and all the feroci,y of Cloths and
Vandels, cu' down the poles, broke up the
wreath and tore the banner in shreds,
No! they could not let that banner wave
to the br'eze-lhey arc too deeply inn
bued with British, multiplying, repudiating,
dsunlon and Tory principles, to allow
banner with an American sentiment on it,
to go unmolested.
As they Frustrated that banner, so would
they PROSTATE the laborers of this county;
as they destroyed those agricultural stap-
les, so would they ruin the farmers of our
land. Had it been inscribed with Gree
Trade and Texas"-had it been dedicated
to foreign principles and foreign interests,
they would have rallied round it and

IMPORTANT SEIZURES IN New YoRK.-
There seems 10 have been systematic

which has just been discovered. The N.

A few days since we adveried 10 the
fact, that quantity of cloths. which had
been struggled on shore, had been traced
TO low place in James street, and q.
Kingsbridge, and seized. Since then the
collector has traced out large quantity,
$4,000 worth. as we learn, on board the
packet ship Oxford. which were intended
10 be Struggled ashore. These were sell

means of which he was enabled 10 Law

Monlezuma, which arrived yesterday, and
which were to come ashore free of DUTY.
In the latter case the goods only were sci.

they had not been removed ashore. One
or two arrests have been made, but up 10
