LOCOFOCO MALlGNITY.

The Washington correspondent Of
the Baltimore American makes the fol.
lowing statement, which is well calcu.
lated TO excite the indignation of every
hearted man:
Contemplate scribblers, not content ,citl
abusing The President in the public prints,
hare epen INVADED THE SANCTUA>
RY OF HIS FAMILY, AND EVERY
DAY THRUST UPON HIM LETTERS
WITH FICTITIOUS SIGNATURES.
FILLED WITH THE MOST BILL
LINGSGATE COMPOUND OF PER,
SONAL ABUSE AND INSULT. Nor
do they stop here. The LADIES OF the
Presidential Mansion have hud addressed 10
them, almost daily, letters containing The
MOST OFFENSIVE and OBSCENE
LANGUAGE WHICH A FlEND CAN
INDlTE, until they can scarcely dare to
open any lettet which is not from a well
known and familiar hand"
Such IS 4 legitimate result ct that
petty and malignant opposition which
swears an indiscriminate warfare
against the administration ITO the bitter
end, no matter what face The future
may wear"
The malignity of genuine locofoco
hon
no barriers. Pillage and plumber, SLAM
der and de,raction, blackguardism OF
every species, is resorted to, to carry a
point, or crafty innate depravity,
which is apparently the only feeling
that is cultivated. Scenes have been
enacted in our State during the past
summer, which are alike stigma upon
her and their enactors. The family
circle has been invaded, and the char.
acters of females aspersed, as an aux.
Hilary TO the pulling down of their nat,
ural protectors. The same fell spirit
for the same ignoble purpose, has inva.
ded the Presidential Mansion. There
are many good and true men in the 10.
cofoco party who are far from sane
'ioning such proceedings, and i, is du
ty they owe TO themselves. their chill
dren, and their country, TO expose anc
expel such characters, at least from
leadership in their party, or Gu, loose
from it, and assist such as are willing
to raise barrier between them and al
honorable associations.

DEAR Sir: Many of my numerous
customers making daily application by
letter and otherwise, for correc, infor-
nation concerning the present unusual
state Of The tobacco market, I take this
method of conveying such information
and it is given honestly to The best of
my judgment.
Al the commencement offspring trade
the stock Of manufactured tobacco held
in this, and all markets in the country,
was higher than for several years past,
and this continued SO up to the pres.
ent period. The consumption of man.
ufactured tobacco increases yearly;
new markets are continually opening
to receive it. California alone, this
year, has taken large supplies, and its
production, owing TO heavy losses in
cured by low prices, has decreased in
the past two or three years. Leaf to.
bacco has also materially advanced in
price, and the lower qualities canno OF
now be had TO any extent, even at the
full advance; hence, the manufactured
article is now higher and scarcer than
in some years.
Upon careful investigation, it is now
asceriained that the stock here is not
over 5000 packages in first hands
against 10000 usually held at this sea.
son; and all the markets in the country
it is also correctly ascer.ained, are in
I like condition. This market is entirely
cleaned of all the lower qualities: nc
common les here under 7 . TO s
cents, and no great quantity Of los car
be had here al any price; no common s..
and SIS at all. in frs, hands; and no sup
ply of SIS and IS to be had under ID Is
ais cents; no pound or half pounc
Jumps here under IL cents; and the sup
ply under 90 cents is very small. pend
ing the high price Of leaf in this coun
try and Europe, caused by increased
demand, short crops, and the scarcit,
and high value of slave labor in Vir
ginia. caused by emigration to The cot

mand high wages. 1t is not unreason
