LOCO FOCO RELIANCE UPON
FOREIGNERS.

The locofoco party throughout country
as the Presidential election approaches
its crisis-appear to have abandoned all
for the success of their cause
upon the support of native-born Ameri-
can citizens, and to rely principally, upon
exciting against the Wing party, the poit >
ical and religious prejudices OF the foreign
population. The leaders of the Locofo
co party find, to their sorrow, that their
false principles are becoming obnoxious to
the serious and settled hostility of those
who were born upon our American soil,
and who have consequently, 6rmer and
deeper appreciation, not only of the fun
damentul principles Of our political insti-
tutions, but of the benefits and blessings
which are the natural result of Just and
proper administration of those institutions.
Finding that they can re y no longer upon
American support to uphold such anti A.
merlcan measures as the destruction of
the Tariff and the Annexation of Texas
having discovered at length, that II large
number of those, even, who have hereto
fore acted with them, cannot be drilled in
to the support of their destructive Free
Trade doctrines, or of their efforts to dis
semminote and perpctuate slavery-they
find themselves driven to the necessity, in
order to support the falling fortunes of
their party, of making last appeal 10 The
foreign population Of The country. In this,
perhaps, as last means of saving them
selves from complete and overwhelming
ruin, they discover some shrewdness and
sagaclty. Their policy is a foreign policy
they seek 10 support il by foreign aid.

During the next day almost every establishment
remained closed the streets and squares were de-
serted; the srbutlon Of the periodicals. and bread
were retarded till late in the afternoon In the mar
ret there was nothing-no milk, meat, or provisions
OF any kind. When the hurricane was over the
city continued to present the appearance OF place
that had been bombarded and sacked. Doors and
windows that remained, were found shut, and only
through sections of the doars and windows Qoop-
holes) might face be seen, anxiously watching to
learn IT the war Of the elements over. Wher-
ever the eye was cast were seen rubbish boughs,
and trunks of trees, sprouts, and window frames,
houses propped up windows and doors forced out,
turrets broken, walls demolished, and habtatons
overtlowed.
The destruction among the shipping was also
very great.
