.M. Birney and The Locojocos. The facts con-
tained in the sworn statement of Mr.. briggs, and
published under the sanction of the State Commit
tee, are working with tremendous effect. The CO.
operation of Mr.. Brney and his leading coadjutors
with The Polk Party of Michigan, ismade manifest
to every understanding. The protested champion
of anti-slavcry, and the most servile Of all dough-
faces are seen to unite to defeat the Wing party.
Mr.. Brney is found, in fact, abandoning the anti
slavery cause, and coalescing with those who have
ever been its most determined and inscriptions
enemies. No man can stand up under such load
of inconsistency and tergiyersalion.

A candid admission. The North American
gives the following incident all the details of which
they know to be true. We ask the attention of
the locofoco laborng men to it:
An English importing merchant, while convers
ing with Il gentleman, whose store is in Walnut
street, admitted that he was "A Democrat" mean
ing, however, locofoco, because nc was averse to
this agtaranism Of levclling men up and leyelling
them down; or, The system Of equality. He said he
liked the locclocos because "THEY KNrw now

Tariff? Can't England supply The tcho'e tcorId
,ch manufactured gooiS?' Again, And do you
suppose" said he, that would advocate your
banking system, when can let out my money at
higher rates of interest to good houses than can

strikes us that if John TYLER expects the
American people are going to war with Mex

it NeSsrs. Archer, Choatc, and Berricn vo-
