Locofoco Dissolution.

Ii is shocking TO think of the manner in
which the Old Hunkers and Barnburners
abuse each other. II is worse than the
way in which the venerable padre of the
ex-organ scolds the WIGS If they be-
lieve all they say, what rogues the leaders
must have been to keep together for the
last ten years, through good report and
evil report-chiehy evil.
This war of ''se cts" is raging North
and South, and in what manner the Rich
mond elite keep out of it we do not under
stand. When they abuse Mr.. VAN b.
Rem, on what principle do they spare Mr..
BENToN' Who are the real Democrats
Which is the orthodox political church,
that is the question the people would like
TO have Mr.. Richie and Mr. john VAN
buren, settle definitely, with the aid of
Mr.. CALHOUN, Mr.. BENTON, General
HoUsroN, and Mr. Senator DICKINSON.
We think, if all these gentlemen should
meet together-with Judge MASON and
Mr.. DENNY TO make it characteristic and
agreeable-that good deal might be done
towards adjusting the difficulties of the
Democratic party. 1t would be necessary
to call in Mr.. BURK only in case it should
become important to denounce one wing or
the other as Infamous, internal, villa
nous, mendacious, rascally, Sc, SC, SC.
Then he will help, nightly.
The Albany Argus and the New York
EDening Posf-the organs respectively OF
Old Hunkerlsm and Barnburnerism in New
York-give US a great deal of pain by
their dlssensions. We think they trouble
US as much as the difficulties in the Pres
! byterian church distressed General JACK
SON. First comes the ArguS, and deals a
heavy blow at the "secret-circular'' men
of lS44-who are the Barnburners of 184S
and whom il describes as the "apostate
auxiliarles" of the Wines; charging them
with insincerity, and false pretences, and
treachery to the Democratic party. Where
upon the Post gives out that Hunkerism is
much exercised about the Mass Convention
soon 10 be held Of the New York Demo
Gratis, and that it feels "outraged that, af-
ter having gagged the people for two long
years by the aid Of packed conventions
and presses supported BY sacindl,ng banks"
it is about to be foiled in its purpose, just
a. IT was on the eve of its accomplishment.
"The people" says the Post, shave tried
sending delegates to represent them long
enough without success; and now they
think OF going themselves to see this
slavery business, and to make arrange
ments for a Democratic legislature TO
look little into the affairs of the Canal

The New York Mirror says that among the pas
sengers by the Caledonia were Miss Eliza Cook
and Matilda Hays; and as both these ladies have
been on the most friendly terms with Miss Cush-
man during her visit to England, we presume they
took the opportunity of visiting America in her
company. Miss Hays is very clever translator,
and occasionally contributes both TRANSACTIONS and
original tales to the English magazines, but par
ticularly we believe, to the columns of 'sLa Belle
Assenblee." Eliza Cook has wide reputation, and
she has written poetry that will immOrtalize her
name. Her volume of poetry has been extensively
circulated in this country. For many years the
"Wsekly Despatch of London was the only nedi-
UNI of communication between herself and the pub
lie; and at the commencement of her literary ca
reer, she certainly did not afford evidence of the
talent her latter writings have exhibited The lady
is now rather advanced in years. but her amiablity
of disposition and kindness of heart have won for
her hosts of friends, and the esteem of all who en-
Joy the happiness of her acquaintance.

Our readers will note the stringent and
compulsory expressions of the organ of the
late cabinet. The act, it says, ''compeis
our government"-to pursue certain
course. The President is ''required"-
to issue his proclamation. Certain things
having been done, the President will be
"bound' to issue his proclamation. There
is not word of truth in all this. The act
compels the government to do no such thing
as is averred. The President is neither
''bound" nor 'srequired" to take any step
in the premises. The PRESIDENT, under
certain circumstances, is authorized to
issue his proclamation, should he see fit to
do so.
Nobody imagines, we presume, that, on
the state of things which will be presented
by the operation of the present navigation
act of Great Britain, the PRESIDENT will
undertake to adjust American policy on this
important and vital question, by a procla-
nation under the authority of an act passed
twenty years ago.
The PRESIDENT, we venture to say-if
the case should be made which authorizes
twill issue no proclamation under this
law; for we can conceive of no state Of
things that would warrant it, in view of
the approaching meeting of Congress.
The mercantile interests have manifested
no anxiety on the subject. They have
not called upon the PRESIDENT to issue
| his proclamation. There are no memo
rails or petitions, that we have heard of,
requesting him in hot haste to exercise the
authority vested in him on certain contin-
gencies, by the act of 1898. Nor do we
believe that well-advised merchants in
any port in this country are prepared to
call for this procla nation, before the pres
ent navigation act of Great Britain has
been critically examined and reported
upon In all its aspects, by committees of
Congress, aided and instructed by the in
formation that may be elected from the
Chambers of Commerce and intelligent
individual merchants, bearing upon the
whole system of reciprocity treaties.
There is no great haste necessary in
this matter. If Democratic Presidents
have waited twenty years before they
sought to profit by the policy and the law
of MIR. ADAMs's administration, we ap-
prehend that President TAYLOR may be
permitted to rest ninety days upon it,
more or less, in order to avail himself of
the advice and countenance of the repre-
sentatives of the people. This act of 1923
was an act of another generation. Loco
focoism says that past generation cannot
bind its successors. A House of Repre-
sentatives fresh from the people will be
better able to decide on the policy of lS49
than was Congress of 1898. We APP
prehend, therefore, that the PRESIDENT
will refer this whole matter to the next
Congress, as, to this extent, the constitu-
tlonal depository and organ of the will of
the present generation of the American
people.

The Rey affair.

The New Orleans papers of the 29th
come to us charged with comments in re-
lation to the abduction of Rey. In New
Orleans the press expresses the greatest
Indignation at the part which the evidence
represents the Spanish consul to have
played, and expresses conviction that there
has been rank perjury. From this opin-
ion, however, the Crescent dissents, still
treating the abduction as fiction, and
representing the surrender of Rey as a con-
ceSsion to the United States.

fed, unless the subject is kept before the people"
When in the city of New York have seen in the
shop windows cheap at shilling" selling OF
at COST and such things; and once, as was stroll
ing along in Broadway, saw a man carrying
board over his shoulder, with the words "beicaye Of
mock auctions;'' and was informed that this was
done by order Of the mayor, because the people
sometimes forgot " to betcare," and then they were
cheated in some way; and as the mayor was always
on his guard and avoided "mock auctions" he
wanted To remind others, and give them the benefit
OF his experience. Now this discovery Of the mayor
may be turned TO account in your paper in this
way:
/" Home Department, agriculture must be cher
ished"
sour rulers, may they remember the farmers
interest"
''The Agricultural Bureau, it must be made the
farmers 0ton."
These are but hints at what you will put in bet
ter and more forcible language, but would keep
them going. Make adages for the farmer He with
think of them while at work. he will reflect on them
and be stimulated to action; he cannot forget them
if he tries they will haunt him, waking and sleep
ing.
Did any man ever forget" England expects
every man to do his duty?" The farmers must be
made to remember these things. Then, too, there
must be great farmers party, an agricultural
league in our country, not to aspire to Office and
place; no. that must be left for the lawyers and such
like; but party that will force all other parties
to bring forward men who will encourage and fos
ter agriculture, that no matter which side
ceeds, the successful candidate will feel that his
popularity must in some measure depend upon his
attention to the farmers and their interests.
Yours, respectfully, T.J.w.
