ed by the "Old Hunkers" and "Young Amer
leans" of the Locofoco party, ever since the ;
nomination of Pierce. 1t is a fight in adj {
vance for The spoils, provided Gen. Pierce
should be elected, and it shows very conclu-
'siysly that all the leaders are looking for Ing
the election of that worthy gentleman ares
the loaves and fishes of Office. Scarcely had |:
the nomination been made, when the Demo :
scratic Review, the particular organ OF "fo Dung
] America," Qhe go-ahead juveniles trying to-
Ilead the party to power, and the country 10,
1.-THE - took deliberate view of the Proiltsl
Z likely to ensue from Pierce's election, and IN!
Ia decent manner kicked aside the claims OF ,
Ethe staid leaders of Democracy, such Us Cass
Butler, &C., for share in these profits of so
kexcellent Locofoco speculation. Judge!
] douglass, as Young Americas favorlte son or
father, has been stumping 1t over the country
Ito remind the party, that he is to be Picrce's
1 right bower, and to Young America belong,
Ethe spoils.
d But the Old Hunkers of that party, those'
Gold coyes who have been sharing the spolls
Eof every Locofoco administration for the last
fquarter of a century, and have been accuS-
Etomed to getting fat Offices every time such
Fan administration comes into power--are not
fgoing to submit TO the presumption and in-
Tolerance of Young America. They are will
fing the others should do the work, but not
Ehave all the fat. Thus, while the youngsters
Eof the party have been hard at work, the old
scovies have been quietly at home mapping
gout all the Cabinet, and dividing the Offices.
sThis lately leaked out through New York
5paper and has been verified in other quar-
sters. But Young America hasn't the slight
sest idea of submitting to that state of
Things. The old artful lodges of those vet
serans against the Wings, were very nice, but
against a clique of their own party, was
sanother matter.
a a New Orleans print, Southern Democrat,
Eand one organ of Yong America, "lets down"
ton the Cass and Bucanan tribe about right,
sand in the following style:
4 "There are set of worthless non-entitles
Hwho arrogate to themselves all the influence,
ssand after an election, if their party be sue
Scessful, are sure to say, "Twas H. and clanI
Gas areward fine fat office, with pcrquistes
ssand emoluments enough to sleek them over
zand keep them fat until another term comes
awhen they begin to croak and swear that
sthey are entitled to something better. Be-
scause this class have made it their business,
Shaving nothing else to do, to 90 about from
ID Jo |,
Hples ofwhich they know nothing, and with no
Recommendation save that of the low cunning;
fiof the weasel, they are regarded with sort of
sholy reverence, for they are resolved to be theE
3oracles, and it is just as impossible to root theml
sout as to cleanse livery stable of old rats!
aThey are pretty boobies to be trusted WITH
1the command of party. They are nothing
3after all but the tal-cnis of caucuses and the
&supple-jacks Of demagogues, smaller than.
themselves. liza great party is thus to b,I
Sswayed by the capricious nonsense of imbe-s
aciles and parveneas, who are indusriously;
dputfng themselves into notice, what reward, !
Owe would ask, is either honesty or decency to-
&expect, or what is to become oil modest retirinr'
men who scorn the idea astounding their own
dtrumpets, and standing on the corners of the
Sstreets that they may be seen of men!
Z "Those hoary humbugs are the first ones,
Safter an election to spread their canvass for
Sthe Federal city that they may sit by the
ssldes OF the powers that be, and dole out the
9executive officers to suit their own notion"
The writer calls for assistance to "pull'
saway by the legs horde of gorged, greedy
shacks, who have been feeding all their lives
Cat the public crb"--a very amiable dispoS;-l
Stion indeed for an organ of one portion OF a.
Sparty to indulge in towards another.
But these Locofocos are counting the I
achckens before they are hatched." There.
lis no use in quarrelng over the spoils just at,
Sthis time. The people may conclude to keep
1 mot to throw such temptations for strife be-s
hfore the Democratic party, by electings
Pierce. The avidity with which the differ
sent sections of the Locofoco party are already
sgrasping at the spoils, even when their pros
4pect for getting them is so dim, shows the,
total want of principles of the leading men,
/ of that party. They are only fighting for
! fat Offices. They don't care copper fors
principles, nor a copper for P,rce, except so,
{ far as he can help them to these Offices. IT.
lis all with them greedy, scandalous fight for
sSPOILS, while they are deceiving the honest
rank and file, that it is fight for great prin-
5ciples or for the great man Pierce. How
5 democrats who are Democrats, can submit
Ito be gulled by these political hogs, is beyond
.our ken.
