NRRklD OF THE TIMES.


lOcOioco camp in this state; the wist
men are assembled in council in Provi-
dence, Tor the good ct the dear people
and they are striving to pour oil uPor
the troubled waters, and TO allay nj
disscntions which exist but this is M
easy matter. Gov. Allen has few
opinions of his own,twhich he most ten
aciously adhercs TO, and will not relin-
quish he talks out boldly and plainly,
and the party dare no, oppose him, be-
cause he furnishes d very material part
OF the sinews of war, and possesses con-
siderable personal strength, through
those in his employ, &c. Now uncle
Philip, as they call him in Providence,
is not to be pushed out Of the way,
neither are his opinions to be irowned
out of sight The party ought 10 have
been aware that il was their duty 10 al
low him to rave his own way, because
thc locofoco leader in the House OF
Representatives., George II. Browne
Esq, nice youg man, and possessing
more prudence and discretion than is
usually assigned to one OF his years,
cnndidly and frankly told the world
some months ago, in his famous Donald
son letter, that Gov. Allen was very
obstinate man. Now, who ought to
know this fact better than MIR. Browne,
an acknowledged leader in the lar'y?
Why did not the party listen to him ?
Why did they not act upon his candle
assertion -? He told them as much us
that Gov. Allen would have his own
way, and that it would he useless 10 OPP
pose him.
The locoiocos are trying to agree on
II ticket for the coming year; they are
anxious to nominate Gov. Allen again,
because they want his influence, and,
above all. .hey want his money, - they
know hat he freely spent it last year,
and Mr.. Browne says that lie is very
liberal in such matters. But Gov. Al

counsel. We do no, profess to be a
prophet, still, we are quite willing TO
stake our Yankeeism on the matter, and
assert as our firm belief that they are
these first, that our Gov. Lawrence
shall not be run on the ticket for any
Office and second, that if the locoiocos
should have tie General Assembly
Gov. Allen shalt be made u. S. Senator.
Gov. Aliens aversion to Gov. Law
renee has become n matter oi public
notoricty, and he has not hesi,aied, for
come time past, to speak oui, in very
plain and somewhat blunt terms, his
opinion OF his political brother. II is
also well known that Gov Allen is very
desirous 10 80 TO the Senate. Then

millions OF upturncd eyes were fixed so

the famous Foundry Legislature. Thus
our readers will perceive what serious
troubles embarass our opponents. We
speak in this matter because we feel |!
deeply interested il; We are anxious con
cerning the fate ol our friend Gov. Law
renee. We have his interest near to
our own heart and we are afraid that
justice will not be done him. A short
time ago. we consigned him, as rare
and delicate exotic plant, to our friend |
Of the Providence Journal, and implored |
him to nurse our treasure with Jealous
care,-bLt that cold hearted. ungratelul
had the unkndncss TO say that,
politically speaking, there was nothing
left Of our pet Governor to take care of.
The editor Of the Journal cannot imag-
inc the modification which we fel, at
this cruel thrust at the tender blossom
1f Ochrc Point. If the editor of the
Journal is not car eiul he will drive our
nursing back to 49S Broadway New

ask what, IN the name of com
non humanity, would become OF "thc
