WHAT HYPOCRITES J

More unmitigated hypocricy never was
practiced by any set fmen on the face of
the earth, than by the present locofoco party,
or at least, the leaders ofthat party. Tears
Of indignation are ever flowing down their
sanctimonious faces, when they speak of the
few innocent antics cut up by some of the
wings in 1910 in the presence ofthe dear
sovereign people !" in order to corrupt their
morals and lead them from the paths of To-
cofocoism. To look at an old coon-tap a
cider barrel-or enter a log cabin-em-
blems which they themselves suggested, as
most suitable to adorn the standard of the
lumented Harrison, is represented by them
as crime so base, and of such moral turpi-
tude, that the vengeance of heaven is inces-
sanity falling and resting on the land. on
account of whig sins. Did not those mod
ern preachers of political righteousness,
know enough OF the weaknesses of poor fall
len humanity, to know that such would be
the case2 Why then did they tempt and
persuade US to adopt such demolarizing en-
blems. or why did they suffer US to become
fascinated by the stripes of an old coon, en-
lived by the fumes of hard cider, or fortified
in our impregnable Log Cabins, before their
warning voice was raised to secure us from
the fate of Sodom and Gomorrah2 Iftears
must be shed by the locofoco priesthood as
sacrifice of Precipitation, let them be shed
first in co2ious streams, on account of the
agency that originated those emblems, and
not over the unpa ralleled and glorious re-
suits, which attended their adoption.
In order to render the whig party and
their leader unpopular in the estimation of
the people, il was declared by thousands of
the rufieshirted. silksocked, palace housed
gentry ofthe VanBuren party. that the man
who spent the greater part of his life in
log hut. could not preside with dignity in
the white house that hard cider drank
from gourd. would be more in accordance
with his taste. than the rich viands ofthe
white house from silver goblets; that ne
tween the furs of Siberia and the coon skin,
he would. chose the latter; consequently,
