Son the whole, however much the Locofoco
press may crack up the procession, yet SO far as
the old Tammany party are concerned, it was
failure
"Boys foreigners and DULLES were there, but
few voters The portions from Brooklyn and Jer-
sey made up great part Of the procession. The
night was selected by them in order to avoid the
character of the party and the nature Of the popu-
laton."
The New York Republic in reference to the
procession says: "This much-boasted affair came
off last night, and more contemplate exhibition
we never witnessed. The number is variously
stated, but we set it down in fairness at six thou

wearing the very clothes in which they had left

deeply imprinted on their faces and persons to be
mistaken. Ireland and the German States were

believed in the TRANSPORTATION of souls-that the

ence is evident.

There was great disturbance in the Chestnut
street Theatre, Philadelphia, on Wednesday night
last. Mr. Rice, in playing Bone Squash" intro
duced live white coon on the stage. The Lo-
cofocos groaned, the Wings shouted and huzzaed,
and scene of noisy confusion followed. The
coon was then withdrawn, but for some time the
audience would not allow the play to proceed.
The whole affair was disgracefuI, for we cannot
think that Mr.. Rice meant any political alusion,
though it must be allowed that the introduction
of the animal was rather indiscreet

W A s HIN CT ON.
MONDAY EVENING, Nov'R 4, 1874.
JACKSON as. ADAMS.


General Jackson has written a letter to Gene
raj Armstrong, Of Tennessee, purporting to be a
reply to Mr.. Adams's Boston speech but it is in
reality only "railing accusation" containing no
single fact or argument to rebut the statements
of Mr.. Adams. 1t can not fail to give pain to
every intelligent American to read this ebulliton
of blind passion. General Jackson, in the direct
est manner, charges Mr.. Adams with falsehood,
in language BETTING bully in a cockpit, or a
bawd at Billingsgate. The friends of the hero
would be excusable for using little gentle vio-
lence to prevent him from exposing at once the
imbecility of his mind and the malignity of his
passions.
General Jackson promises, that 80 soon as he
rsgains possession Of the Erving papers, he will
come forth with another expose, which will extin-
guish Mr.. Adams We are not given to betting,
but if we were to hazard wager upon the con-
fict between these Anticipated knights of the
quill, it would be laid upon the eide Of Mr. Adams.
The truth is, that Mr.. Aaron v. Brown admitted
in his memorable postscript to his note accompa-
nying the publication of General Jackson's first
letter, (made memorable by Mr.. Adams,) all that
10 material in the controversy. General Jackson
asserted in that letter that the papers of Mr. Err
wing proved that the Spanish Government were
ready to surrender the whole of Texas, from the
Sabine to the Rio Grande del Norte, but owing
to the treachery Of Mr.. Monroe's Administration,
particularly Mr.. Adams, this fine country had
been lost. But Brown admits in his postscript
that this is mistake of Gen. Jackson; and SO
far from the papers proving the statement the
most they proved to the mind of Mr.. Brown is
that Mr.. Erving thought that the Spaniards would
probably agree ito the Colorado as boundary y
at any rate, Mr.. EryiEg was sanguine of getting
. boundary "west of the Sabine" The writer's
upon elocuton could not desire happier exam
pie of the bathos than this This is the admie-
sion Of the commentator upon General Jackson !;
and it amounts to fiat contradiction of all that
Gen. Jackson had SO confidently asserted. So
that, when the Hero of the Hermitage undertakes
to substantiate his first statement, he will have
to encounter, not only Mr.. Adams's irrefutable
facts, but also the admissions of his friend, Mr..
Brown.
The whole tenor Of this last letter of General
Jackson is in the worst possible taste, and deals
out the epthets treason and falsehood as unspar-
ingly as the most rabd political press could do.
The beggarly attempt to pervert the concluding
passage of Mr.. Adams's speech into treason, only
shows that General Jackson despaired Of contro-
verting the facts Of the speech, and vents his
spite and vexation in railing and abuse.

THE SLAVE QuEsTIoN-'rhe synod of Cincin-
natl, at its last session, adopted resolutions on
the subject of slavery. The resolutions declare
slavery, as existing in the United States, TO be
manifesty contrary TO the principles of the gospel,
and therefore sinful; but that there are, in the
opinion of the synod, individuals in the church
standing in the relation of master and slaves I'M
der such peculiar circumstances, that they can
not be justly charged with sin merely because of
that relation.

THE LOCoS IN NEW YORK.

The LocoFocos had great torch-light process
sion in New York last Friday night, which is de-
scribed as having been very snowy, noisy, curl
Gus affair, not unmixed with superabundance of
!" fire and birthstone" Notwithstanding the
leaders of the party have been making all sorts
of overtures to the Native Americans to get their
votes for Polk and Dallas, it seems that, on this
occasion, they made no secret of their love for
foreigners and disregard of the natives. The Ex-
press says they cheered an assembly of Irish SER
want girls at an earth-quakng rate and displayed
flag which, one would suppose, was purposely
designed to insult the Native Americans, whom
they could neither seduce, wheedle, or intimidate.
The report in the Express goes on to say:
In one respect the procession was novel. The
flags of the French, Dutch, and every other for.
eign nation were displayed, it being entirely in
character and feelings with the party. Many of
the houses in the lower part of the city, on the
North river side, were illuminated, and all kinds
of flags, of all nations, were displayed at the win
dows, according to the birth place of the occu-
pant. The hostility of the party seemed TO be
directed towards the Native Americans, or to-
wards the native American feeling On one of
the banners Of the Sixth Ward was ncribed--
