Lcco-Foco Bigotry.
We all along contended that, had it not been for
Na,ivism every honest and intelligent Naturalized
citizen in the country wouldhaye been with the WI ig
party in opposing the Annexation swindle. The
danger OF Nativisn seemed TO be SO imminent that
the Naturalized citizens generally supposed the only
way they could kill i, was by going with the Loco
Focos though they were opposed TO them on almost
every other question. To prevent what they sup
posed certain victory OF Nativsm, they swallowed
an awful quantity OF bad Loco-Foco medicine
which they deemed necessary for the safety OF the
constitution We trust however, that the Irish and
the Catholics whom the Albany Argus and other
papers tried TO swindle out of their votes will soon
see through the character OF those whom they have
put in power The following from the Boston Pilot
of Saturday last. which cannot be charged with any
particular leaning towards the Wing party will
show the reason why one United States Loco-Foco
Senator voted for the Annexation OF Texas and the
bill would have been lost had he opposed IL We
need not say that Mr. Woodbury. was for this ap-
pointed by James K Polk TO the Bench OF the Su-
preme Court of the United States, where ne can
hurl defiance and scorn at those whom he calls Pa
pists though their votes were the stepping stones 10
the hight of his ambition.
Our readers will bear in mind that the Dorer Ga
-ette from which the Pilot copies, is Loco-Foco
paper. and therefore i, undoubtedly dresses up Mr.
Woodbury's bigoted speech in the most favorable
fashion. What he did say, We doubt not was
much worse than his Loco-Foco organ represents
it Had some man holding the rank in the Wing
party which Judge Woodbury. does among the Lo-
co.Focos made such speech, the Loco-Foco press
would have eemed for months with columns OF vi
tuperaton We trust that the hollow heartedness Of
these leading LocoFocos Will be discovered as
quickly as the public mind can bear TO dwell on
such hypocrisy. The Pilot says:
Its asserted and admitted by the Dorer O.. H. Gazette
that previous the election in New Hampshire
Judge Woodbury. in an address to the electors OF mat
state uttered the following extraordinary sentence
" In depicting the advantages which would accrue 10
Texas in consequence of her political relationship
with United States Gov. Woodbury. -ad that her fertile
prsing migrants from New England who would ESTABLISH
free schools and plant Christian churches IN place OF The
ignorance, idoaIry and fdPistry OF TIE MeXcals.
This is the language OF the associate upon the Supreme
Bcnchof the United States OF the Catholic Cor papis,
Chief Justice fancy Ii is old prejudice It was ut
tered either since Mr.. Woodbury. assumed his present
high Judicial functions certainly while he was eagerly
cutchng the tempting ermne that once covered the
late Justice Story. IL is said by a gentleman VINO can
claim no exemption from responsibility. His position
as leading and distinguished Democratic statesman
adds great sicnihcancy the sentiment His position
MS Judge al the tribunal of the last resort 10 which
papss and protestan,s alike LOOK Tor Just judgments
upon their life and property gives really solemn charac
ter 10 sentiment indicative OF the worst and most
destructive kind OF prejudice We DO not wish 10 mag
Nifty this matter, and surely our uniform course Will DE

sentence, OF itself bad and otrcpeaicd clap trap OF
the Pulpit Bgots." From man less elevated, and
less calculated do mischief by the utierance OF unjust
and ISLANDERS upon the faith oil vast proportion
of the good citizens OF this Union. we should pass
lightly.
Prominent in the first rank OF those in whose impair
tia Judgment looked least for respectful treatment
and that the public sentiment OF this coun
try was not one wide aud unredeeming slough OF often
siyc prejudice-was Levi Woodbury. And We have
quoted his publicly uttered stigma upon our abused
faith.
You have been politician Mr.. Woodbury., and of
no ordinary stamp In your time you nave iound the
suuostee OF policy 10 be OF no mean Importance II

New Hampshire by the open declaration oil such sent

Your silence this question was painful to some and
inconccivablc 10 others. Are unfair II say that
your recen, speech which have quoted gives the SO
luton If the demolition Of; he doa,rous affairs OF pa
pists in Mexico affords tempting an argument Tor the
Annexation vi Texas you consistent IN your resou
ton do nothing toward toeralinng papists in your
State. But you the bc!dest man to utter such
things in popular harangue placed as you are at this
moment that memory calls up recent political
history and il will hard with il we shall not be able
