es. For the present ! leave these Locofocos
and their contemplate scribbler, and commend,
for the consideration of my Free Soil brethren,
the following extract from the Free Soil paper
Of Medina county, which expresses my views
better than can express them myself:
"The leaders Of Locoiocosm arc on The scent
Of a new hobby, although they last year declar-
ed the WilmoI Proviso an unconstitutional
humbug, and denounced the Free Soilers in no
measured terms, they have all at once discover.
ed that they are themselves the genuine Free
Soilers. The apologiss for slavery--lhe truck
lers 10 the slave power Of last year have all at
once become in love with Free Soil. How far
they will succeed in quilting and deceiving Free
Soilers into the support Of Locolocoism, and
Of the necessity of slavery, remains TO be seen.
! Ii is an attempt 10 substitute for the Buffalo
| Platform, the narrow and contracted d0gmds of
Locofocoism, opposition TO our excellent cur
rency-to Tariff for protection to our reve-
nue. laws. No Free Soilcr, who is honest in
sentiment can consent to this: We commend
the following resolution passed bv this pure
and undefled genius of Locofocosm last year,
to all Free Soiers.
"ReSOiued, That the proud position to which
our country has attained under a Democratic
administration is conclusive evidence that the
principles of the Democratic party are founded
in truth; and specially by the successful opera
Iion Of those great measures, for which we con-
tended in 1914.
"The great measures contended for in 1914
were the annexation Of Texas, the extension OF
slavery, and now the very men who, less than
one year ago proclaimed themselves proud
of TIE Polk measures of '44-lhe annexation
of slave.ridden Texas, the Mexican war, and
all its concomitant evils; are talking about Free
SoiI and their opposition 10 slavery"
The position Of Locolocoism certainly can
not deceive any Free Soiler, and need not
spend more time with the subject. That the
| Locofoco leaders, true TO their instinct will
make powerful effort TO gull the Free Soilers
have no doubt; but have too much conf
dence in their intelligence to believe they can
succeed. Judas was one Of the chosen twelve,
but the allurements of the thirty pieces of sill
yer caused him TO betray his master, and from
my knowledge of the Locoloco leaders in Car.
roll county, the dazzle of office would have a
more powerful influence upon them than the
silver had upon Judas.
