Loco FOcO TRICK cry.
Tho Gazette Of yesterday was occupied to large
extent In retailing ISLANDERS against Col. Warren
Il cannot, however, counterfeit the influence of our
statement by calling it sgencral denia,' sswith-

fcient to demonstrate that the charges arrayed
against Col. Warren were malicious and without
any foundation His political transactions through
out his whole history in this state have been open,
honorable and aboveboard. This was fully shown
pAeaScS
call our last weeks yindication. We know that
some of tho wings, who only the loco foco rep.
RESERVATIONS Of Col. Warren's course, were at one
time led to believe that all their stories about his
transactions with the Mormons, sshog driving &c.
were true. The loco foco editors have a wav OF

temporaries, who nave something better to do than
TO De always engaged in repelling their slanderous
statements. This is the way the locos frequently
gain their point This we are willing to admit, with
out caring about their taking it for .cuc' to their
future conduct, as they probably will.
The locos have this advantage over the wings -
their leaders can exercise dctatoral authority over
their rank and file, while the wing masses refuse to
recognize any such prerogatve on the part OF their
leading men. Understanding this principle, the
leading loco focos conduct their Campaigns in secret
being sure Of the cooperation OF those they lead
while the wings, from the constitution of their par
y, conduct theirs openly and above. board. While
the rascay and bribery and whipringin Of the loco
tocos are not apparent, because done in secret, ev
cry semblance Of political trickery, or disposi.
tion to practice it by wings, is estopped by it's i'm
mediate detection and exposure by members Of its
own party. We are glad it is so. It win keep the
wing party pure, while the other win sooner or la
ter fall to pieces from its own corruption.
We have only to look at the secret maneuyrines

they have the business all fixed and all their follow
ers will have to do is to vote for their packed eau
Gus candidates.
IN relation to the overtures made to Col. Warren
oy Pickett and Elder Hyde, to whr:l we made allu-
sion last week, we know that the statement we then
made was true. We had an interview with Pickett
the same day that he visited Col. w. and General
Dodge. He told us the object of the Mormons in
wishing to leave the loco focos. They had served
them faithfully and voted for their candidates. For
all this, instead Of avors, the loco focos exercised
the authority they gaue them to their injury and de-
gradation, and they were tired of serving such
party Their proposition to join the wing party was
soluntary, and as said last week. they needed no
orloe. The bribery to keep them in the loco foco
traces, was all on the other side. How came the

offered him and go to the Bluffs on the same errand9
Because the roads were too bad and there wasn't
time to accomplish his object. We could brig IN
other "reminiscences OF like character by e.roinp
INTO details, but we have not time. As to Colonel
Warren's ever having visited the Mormon Camp or
spproacned them in the way or in any way stated by
some OF the loco foco prints. we positively deny.
The attacks on Col. WARREN in relation to his,
political course, may, malicious as they are be con-
sidered legitimate, compared with the raking over
the ashes Of his private character. We did not in
tend to allude 10 this subject again, but the Ga
sette persists in its endeavors make political cap
ital out OF the failure Of Warren and sons again

who formerly resided in this city, and whose state
nents win aa all times be relied on. traded largely
with the irm and were conversant with their busi-
Warren 10 above the suspicion Of having done any
thing dishonest dishonorabe in that unfortunate
affair. Such charges come with very little consis-
tency from party who kept LINN and BoYD and q
host Of other swartwouters in Office, knowing them
to be peculators Of the government funds to the
amount Of hundreds of thousands OF dollars, simply
because they were seryiceabe to the loco foco par
". such attacks show that the loco focos have af
ter al no substantial charges to bring against Col.
WAaRES. They have proved nothing against him
except that he was once dealer in leather, boots
and shoes, and that he failed in businessl We
should not wonder il some Of the very men who
caused his failure, were found among those who
are now abusing him.
