RENUNCIATIONS OF LOCOFOCOISM
The locofoco newspapers give numerous pre-
tended renlnciations of Whiggery, some of which
may be from men who have gone over because
they are in favor of Free Trade and the anneXa-
ton of Texas; but We notice that many of them
are dened-several declared to be men who have
long acted with the locofoco purty-and some are
said TO be men who are actually in their graves
We have heard of several men in this State who
have abandoned locofocosm and go for Mr.. Clay,
and we should be glad to give their names if they
would authorize us to do so. We think it would
do such good service TO the Wing cause, as TO
more than balance the abuse which such men
might receive from the locoioco newspapers
The Calcdonun speaks as follows of towns in this
State:
THE LEAVEN OF TRUTH AT WORK.
We arc crediby informed that in one district in
town not 40 miles distant from us where there
are some % voters, and where heretofore, there
have been but one or two Wings, there is not to be
found now, single Locoloco--qll of them having
within few weeks united themselves with the
Wings. and are going for Clay and Protection
Four or five of these men attended the Burlington
Convention.
They say they have been cheated and deceived
by their former political friends upon the Tariff;
and now, seeing the Wings are in the right they
are going with them.
In another town, where the Locos had some $50
To told l,v oOoJ authority that
one half of these refuse TO go into the support Of
Polk and Dallas. They think they are called upon
to adopt new measures and odious men, and they
cannot consent to be Poiked. This don't look much
like Polk Dallas and Victory" as the leaders now
shout CdiedOnian.
We gather several specimens from Wing papers
in other sections of the country, as follows:
Thos. Lorrg, Esq. editor of the North Carolina
Standard one of the leading Locofoco papers in
that state, announces his course as follows:
| "Whilst we tender our heartfelt thanks and ex-
press our warmest regards to the many pure and
honest men Of the Democratic party with wnom we
have been associated, and from whom we have re-
ceved many kindnesses, we utterly repudate and
denounce the course of the leaders who hold the
destiny of the party under their control. From the
triumph of this combination Of setshness, dema-
goguism and DISCRIMINATION, our country has
nothing of good to hope, but every thing of evil to
| fear; and we believe that consistent regard for
the purity Of republican principles, will be best
promoted in support of the Wing candidates for the
| prominent offices now about to become vacant.
ave shall, therefore, in our next number, place
the names of Graham and Clay and Frelinghuy-
sen, at the head Of our editorial columns, and en-
deavor to show that the safety and prosperity of
the country require their election"
1 Hon. Wilson X Shnn, for some years able
and influential members of the Virginia Senate,
has published long and effective letter. declaring
that he will not be forced to support Polk and Dali
las but That he will give his efforts TO secure the
success of Henry Clay. lie declares that the loco
focos have abandoned all their old principles, ard
that the policy Of the Wings on all the great ques-
tous which divide the country, is precisely that
which was favored by Gen. Jackson when he came
into power
Here is another card Of remuneration, from sub
stantia Pennsylvania farmer, who like the great
body of those who make up that patriotic and intel
lgent class, is ready to abandon his party at any
moment for the sake ofhis country:
| "IIaviug been induced to sign the Locofoco
Club Association of East Berlin by certain John
Roop by means, to say the least, not very honora-
ble and having since learned that their candidate
for the Presidency. James X. Pok,) is against a
} Protective Tariff, hereby take this method of in
forming said Club, that cannot support said Polk
and oppression OF home industry; but will at the
coming election cast my vote for Henry Clay, the
friend of the laborer, mechanic and the farmer
The Club will therefore erase my name.
