We have made the above extracts for the pur
pose OF brief comment. The Editor ei the Ono
Statesman was a member OF the late Loco-foco
Convention, and notwithstanding the dcclaTa
lions above quoted, quietly succumbed to the die
tation Of the South, and Is now perambudting the
country advocating the nomination which the
South forced him TO swallow. This doughGlce
is advertised to address the meeting here lt!s
evening.
The Convention adopted the two-third Rule.
and the Goughicc of the Albany Argus is M"
Jealous in support oil nomination That, accord
ing to lis own showing, was made N decided
Gef0gGfi0a Uf GREAT PRlNclPLE oil the Repre-
seotatire system Of Government, aud in DIS
regard Of the rights and icishes Of MAJORITY
OF the American Democracy"
Notwithstanding Mr.. Buffers prediction the
Rule was carried the Convention Went for " Men
no, Measures - and last week Mr. BUTLER, lii d
meeting at New ork, warmly supported the Con
vcniiDn's nomination.. OF course he is willing
that q pail OF death should STROUD the hopes a
the People" rather than is!Ier In support Of his
Party.
OF Cen BARKER nli that need be sad is, that
we find his neme subscribed 10 Call Tor Pub
lie Meeting in Albany, 10 respond 10 the nomi-
nation of JAMES Il. Polk, who wit be Seci,
by the extracts from his letters, Is committed /"
4 scheme that Cen. BARKER considers e" is fos
te.ed ny the contracted spirit OF private specu
lat!nn, regardless OF the honor aud dignity, and.
he might add, the integrity Of the nat - anc
IN opposition to which he pledges himself, unde:
ois own hand, "to sustain the Character Of ::
faithful soldier"
Nov, in view of these declarations and subsc.
oncnt acts, we would ask-Wha is manhood,
honor, truth, or principle Are they real sub
stanial things, in support OF winch meu shoGd
live and die or they mere Catch WORDS,
without meaning, intended only 10 deceive
The support OF Mr.. Van buren, involved certain
principles vet his supporters sacrificed all, sub
mllted TO every humiliation, covered like span.
els under the lash OF Southern dctation, and
submitted TO nomination made not only 4" III
deroya,on of great principle and in disregard
OF the rights of tic Democracy" but, as Gen
BARKER saws in spirit of private speculation
regardless of the honor, dignity and integrity o.
tho Nation We have, in this brief comparison
of declarations and acts, complete exposition OF
the character OF the Loco Foco Party. They
have no other object but the spoils and, to secure
them, are ready at a moments notice to falfy
any profession they had made, violate the most
sacred obligations. and traInple the interests and
honor of the Nation in the dust. They know that
the Texas plot originated in desire to Kill OFT Mr.
VAN buren, and advance 2 scheme Of land piracy
that, if carried into execution. it will inevitably
involve us in a war and disgrace Us in the eyes OF
the whole civilized world that Mr.. McDuFFls
and many others who opposed Annexation IN
81, now advocate 1t because they hope It Will
lead to a ACKNOWLEDGMENT of the Union and the
establishment of Southern Republic; that The
nomination of Polk was solely owing to his
friendship for the scheme, yet, with more non
cbalGace than an Indian would toss off glass o.
whisky, they swallow the whole, and, without
wiping their mouths, hurrah for Polk and Texas
Can shameless political proAigacy go farther
