MORE TREASON.

A statement is made by the Albany Evening
Journal to illustrate the character of "Ohlo Lo-
cofocoism," which, afraid has in il
rather more truth than poetry. We are happy
however to believe that such "Locofocoism" is
confined pretty much to Ohio.
1t seems that some Administration members of
tho Ohio Legislature, in that abuse of the Wings,
which, to greater or less extent, is considered
an invaluable accomplishment of Democratic
orator, deemed it advisable to prove their fidelity
To party by going beyond the bounds of decency,
and heaPing upon their political opponents cpl.
thets which would have dcfied the lips of the
jewellers Of Billingsgate. To such an excess,
upon one occasion, did this proceed, that young
member Of the same party, about whose heart, it
appeared there fingered, in despite of his associ.
atoms, some sense Of proprety rebuked the un-
clean spirits around, and pithily remarked, Il hope
70 TO be a Democrat as not to forget to be gen
Hemaa." Whereupon the Ohio Statesman, en-.
cOuraged by this vrtuous example, ventured 10
pronounce euogy on the member, from which
the following is an extract
''He Of hOt class Of men whom the Ohio democracy
noed place them the POSITION which they occupied
years ago, and which has been lost through any
dislike OF the people to democratic principles but because
the party has been unbsppy identified with tho names and
character Of three dsfssfdJis iadipdnas obos,
nfisT W0rfAisasa enough 10 sink any party In Mr.
gham, we have such the democracy Of
Ohio rely upon, who does think t necessary
20 disgrace great talents by egfOORsry and immortality in
order u achieve sudden notOrety."
This tribute to decency, and censure Of row
dyism, was Immediately applied to themselves by
the members who had been reproyed by Mr.. V.
For their sngacity and readiness in discovering
The fitness Of things, they certainly deserve no lit
tle credit. In the excess Of their Indignation, IN V
inflicted upon the printer the revenge customary
in such cases, by stopping their paper" in ad
dition to which one Of them made the following
speech upon the floor Of the House:
The democratic pspers arc bought up and owned

Traitors own party. but will hsnE them bsfor,

Definitions Of Treason are becoming some
wha, frequent in these days. BY some 1t is re-
garded Treason 10 dispute the DEGREES Of the Bal
timore Convention. Judge Douglass Of Illinois
considers il Treason to divide Oregon with Grea
Britain by the line of 40. But It was reserved
for "Ohio Locoloooisn," 10 discover that fraiio,

threaten with the halter every Democrat who
should be guilty Of decency and polileness.

please examine them carefully. If there be
any thing contained therein that is inconsis-
tent with reason, or-wth the true interest
Of all concerned, let US have the objections.
We shall pay all proper respect to any sug-
gestions that may be made. Our wish is
to have things done in proper manner, and
for the best interest of all concerned In a
few DAYS they will be presented to the citi-
zens-in the mean time, or at any time,
those who wish to place their names to one

Another important matter for you busi-
ness men. Send in your advertisements,
with the money. We believe we speak ad-
yisedly, when we say that this paper has
now larger circulation in the city than
any other paper published here-the price
is about one-half The objects contempla-
ted, and the manner of obtaining them by
this paper, are calculated to induce the pa
tronage of business men by motives of inte-
rest, as also from moral principle.
We are pleased to inform you that we
have been encouraged by many "good'
words, and by several "good'' deeds-to
hope that we shall be fully sustained.
Well, that is encouraging, and we will do
our part. So say the peope-and here we
