Locoforoism, after getting so well through
with the Presidential contest. by means of
its Infinite fasrhoods and lying rretrnslons,
IS making haste to expose its treacl,erv, and
its contempt for the people, by seeking in
Congress to revive that dr,cstable measure
winch John Ty Ter, and all his motley crew
of allies have again and again admitted the
people voted down in 1910. The very Sub
Treasury which VIC were told had over

and Democrat has declared since the cleo

passed by the Loco Foco House of Repre-

THE QUARREL WITH MEXICO.

The National Tnteiigenccr of Yesterday
contains the official copies OF the Dispatches
of Minister Shannon. which accompanied the
Presidents Special Message, communicated
t" Congress on "Wednesday. They consist
of letter from Mr.. Shannon to Mr.. Calhoun
covering the correspondence between the
former and Mr.. Rcjon before published, and
several other letters relating 10 the claims of
the Unrcd States on Mexico, to the decree
ofll,r latter cxprllmg American citizens from,
a portion other territory, and to certain 9TH
er matters pertaining to the commerce of the
two countries. The last letter of Minister
Shannon To Mr.. Calhoun is in his own pecu-
liar ST! le o(impudencr and folly, but it throws
no new light on the questions AT issue and will
be esteemed little better Than n bore.

men,s on the Message:
We cannot dismiss il without observing that the
disproporton between the mnenloquence and soem
nifty of the body Of The Message and hs comparative
in consequence of its conclusion. would justify be-
lief in the truth OF the report which has circulated for
day or Two past, that the original daaueht of the
Message actually closed with the recommendation OF
open wal upon Mexico, and that the delay in its
transmission To Congress is attributable to n changu
which has been wrought in the Message under the
joint influence Of unmisa able public opinion, and
cooler and wiser counsels than those by which The
first course has been suggested.
