mated an aristocrat who would latten on

Such is George M. Dalias-but of him |

THE Locofoco acknowledgements
to notice previously given in large capital
letters, in all the ocofoco papers through
out the United States, Texas, Britain and
ST. Domingo, a convention of tho peace
full, orderly and harmonious locoloco
party, met unanimously" in the city of
Monuments on the 9Th ut. As we did
not attend it, we are compelled TO RELY
| upon the statements of locofocos for the
accounts we have, and our readers NAV
attach to it whatever amount of credbiIi-
ly they Please-we never vouch for aay-
thing thai comes from that party. They
appear to be struck with utter amazemcnl,
and can scarcely speak of it except in
CALCULATIONS, and from these we gather
That 1t was more numerous than the army
OF Aerxes, more gorgeous than French
coronation, and altogether as harmonious
as kcnsington riot. The streets of the
city could not begin to hold them some
deep,' and the rushing myrads were
compelled TO walk over each others heads
III their Passings to and fro, and abou. Bar
NUNS they were even three or four thick
nesses. The idea of bedding them at
night was preposerous, ard in order to
get any rest they had to be piled up in
stacks, crosswlse, as you build a log pen.
This much is certain-the West must
lave furnished far more than her proper
proportion of the multitude, because i, is
notorious that they did not pass this way
the boats and cars from the eastward
were scarcely crowded more than usual
so the West must have had an undue
weight IN the convention, and h,re per-
haps is the secret of Polk being pokcd
upon the people instead of some one they
had heard of before. They formed no
procession because there was no room for
one in the city, and SO great was the crowd
that some of the locos from here, affirm
HAT they couldn't sec the town for the
people. But we will give no farther ac-
count upon their authority, but wait TIA
til we see the American Wing of to-day,
where we will get the truth OF tho matter
which shall be found in our next paper.
The Tyler Conucntion-A Convention
of the friends of John Tyler met in Bal
'Imore on Monday las. for the purpose of
nominating him for the Presidency, A
more dlsordelly set of men making any
prelenslons to responsibility, probably
never convened before. They Grothcd,
raved, cursed and swore, and nominated
Captain Tyler-the latter act the most
disgraceiul of all. They were fools for
nominating him, and he a great,r fool for
allowing his name to be used. Iflhey do
vote for him, he will injure the locofoco
party more than the Wing. The wings
have shaken him off and united upon Mr..
Clay; he has been bestowing the patron
age OF the government upon the locolocos,
and to them he must look for support. lie
however cannot get a single electoral vote,
and he-but we have said enough about
the ridiculous farce, and more ridiculous
fools.

to do until they left him altogether.
