LnCoFoCO REJOIClNGs.

Nothing can exceed the pleasure manifested BY
the Locos, IN view Of the recent deseron RON The
Wing party Of Mr. WIN. =. Briggs, who in e, Of
spcen--in consequence OF being removed by Pres
ideni Tyler from the Office Of oollector-has seen

particular. As the Locofooo party have seen but
liule OF late, wheteat they could rejoice, and as
they, in their present hour Of Trial, need something TO
cheer their despondinc spirits, we cannot but think
that this great loss the wing party will be render
ed less affecting TO them Than pelhaps il otherwise
would
The letter Of Mr. Riggs is of the common order
Of such communications and, aside from the malice
aud i'll temper shown IN it, resembles much such an
one might be expected from a world sick girl,
upon taking the black or who, tired Of the
vain show and pleasures OF life, was about to

His attempt, however, to invest himself with the
dignity OF martyr to the cause Of abolition, is 10
our mind decidedly the richest and most ludcrous
thing tina, has occurred for long time. In view
OF the many fiery trials through which he has pass
ed since taking office under Mr. Tyler, and his
sudden decapitaon by that functionary, we do not
doubt that he will receive the deep sympathes Of
all who heed his bitter lamentations. Yet, that
he has ia Hen martyr in the Of progressive
abolitionism " is not more reasonable to suppose
than il is apparent to that his political principle
has fallen before the potent agency Of the almighty
dollar.-ihe influence ofwhich Qhough he so strong.

was brought TO bear upon him.
II remains to be seen who has made or lost in this
ucry important change in the polite al sentiments of
Mr. Briggs. We recollect some very loud Dragging
in consequence ofthe treachery of one John Tyler;
and that yell of:rumph long has since turned to one of
lamenta'ion, and the events of the past week, we
imagine have satisfied least one of the party that
there is danger, even in the smile off traitor.
