Loco FOCO CONSISTENCY.
Whenever the loco focos have had clear and
Saie majority they have always been the loudest
anathematisers Of al attempts the part or theii
opponents to form alliances to defeat them. The
history loco focoism in this State need only be
referred TO, to prove this. No epihet in the vocab
ulary Of adectves has been omitted to express theii
detestation Of such alliances. Mongrel, hybrid,
possum, were their favorite catch words to desig-
nate those men who dared to think and act with
the wings. All semblance Of desertion from their
ranks was designated as treason, and the strongest
0embsrs of that party up to their way Of thinking
and acting. Were this universal principle Of
their acton party, for tho sake Of the princi.
pie and to exhibit an honest reputation OF alliances
thus formed, right or wrong, it would have shown
consistency to be tolerated, ii not commended
But its restitution Of universally, under varied
circumstances, will condemn that party in the esti-
nation OF every honest mind.
Their want OF consistency in adhering to this
prncpe 10 most apparent in the recent election in
Connecticut. The circumstances were dine rent.
They were in minority in Connecticut. There,
sit was your bull that gored our OK, and that al
tered the case. With fair promises the loco foco
leaders formed alliance acoalition, the see
soilers," and with their new allies, succeeded in
defeating three Wing Congressman, although they
were committed in favor of ssfrec soil.,, Nothing
but such coalition could have accomplished such 4
victory. BY II they nearly carried the Legislature,
which wosld have defeated that gallant gentleman,
Coz. 1Ernsua, for Governor. But thanks 10 the
sterling Wings, in this they have been defeated.
we aiade to this subject 1t this time to show the
palpsbae inconsistency OF the loco foco party The
very action they loudly condemned in this state,
NE noise Of which is even now frequently echoed
through their organs, has been practiced BY them
m Connecticut. This reminds US Of an anecdote of
the I've Cummings. Most four readers know that
there were two brothers Of this name in Boston,
One was the eloquent divine and the other is doc
sor q sedicine. country gentleman pulled the
Zen 1t Tie house Of the latter, and enqured If Doc
tor channing lived there. The Doctor answered in
The Affirmative and said that he was DR. Claiming.

piled that he did not look much like the Or Chan
ming nom whom he had heard an excellent sermon
short time before. aoh,1 said the Doctor, ssyou
mean my brother. He lives in --- street. We
arc both doctors, and the great difference between
nsis, he rsscAes and practice.' Soft is with the
loco foco brethren OF Iowa and Connecticut. The
former preach and the latter practice what in this
case the others loudly condemn. Oh consistency.
thou art jewel.
