THE LOCOFOCO CREED.
NAV be snmmarily comprehended" a
follows:
l. The President can do no wrong-pro
vided he be tour" President.
g. For Congress to pass any measures
which the President doth not recommend
or to dispute any OF his recommendations
is as much as to say that they are wiser
than the infalible hich is trea-
son.
Therefore, if any member of the Senate
or House of RrpreseE tatives he moved
with any scrnples as touching the DEGREES OF
the President it is his duty to keep silence
the,eupon until the wisdom of the president
shall resolve his doubts. And if he shall
dare 10 act according to his private jndg-
meu,. he shall be /" deemed and taken" 10 be
q nlexican.
3 10 say that the government ought TO-
nc, with reference to the welfare OF the PEG
Vie, is rhetorical and absurd, since all expe'
rience hath shown that the people TASK trc
much of the government" And 1t is Ger
Tin that this government cannot properly
take care of itself and the people too.
a. All offices of trust, honor and profit in
the government, are holden by the president
in The special trust and confidence that the
holders thereof shall demean themselves
truly and Loyalty toward him, and in delaul,
Of such fidelity, are the lawful "spo'r'0i
more obedienl vasSaIs
S. All and several the premises are to be
received as the undoub,ed faith of demo-
Gratis. until the President, of his especial
grace, certain knowledge and mere motion
shall alter or annul them, or a Convention
chosen according to the "uSages Of The ar
tyn shall revise the same.
And therefore, if any man shall presume
to think or saw anything contrary he1eIn'o
he is a federalis,. a Mexican, a tory, trail
tor-and all loyal subjects will take notice
thereof and govern themselves accordingly
Churches in n. York There are rive
hundred and fifty churches IN New York,
