The Loco-Foco Meeting ut Washington
Trouble among the "Upper Teu.-
WASHINGTON Thursday, June 10 ls52
csrrespoua.nes Of The n Y. Tribune
Quite a melancholy meeting was held
front of the Court House, last evening, BY way
of ratying the nomination of the astonished Mr..
PIERCE, of New-Hampshire, and old Mr.. King,
| of Alabama.
Gen. CAsS came forward and spoke good wo
for Mr.. PIERCE, but as the Senator is truth.
telling man, he could not say much. A short
horse is soon curried. II was the comment of a
man of distinction upon one Of no distinction. 1t
| was Ike an old and competent teacher, bringing
boy on the stage, patting him on the head, and
recommending him nice little fellow who
would come to something. We felt for Gen. Cas-.
The old gentleman has many good things In him,
and is deserving Of a better fate than TO be com.
PEELED to deliver in public his own funeral grafton
for the benefit of his party.
Gen. HoUsToS was next brought out and exhi.
bited himself urbane and graceful as usual, lie
said Mr. PIERCE was qnite a respectable gentle
man, and indorsed him over to the Democracy
with the assertion that Texas would give him
handsome lift at election time. Judge DOUGLAS
then came forward and spanked up as well as he
knew how. lie evidently had no idea OF consider.
ing himself dead horse and is all ready for another
duff for the Presidential nomination. lie laid
down the platform of Young America and said
he had no doubt that Mr.. PIERCE stood upont
because he was a Democrat, and every good Dem
ocrat ought TO stand on it. Mr.. DOUGLASS plat
form is the entire Caribbean Sea- and the right Of
Just as many ways across the Isthmus and else
where, from the Gulf Of Mexico to the Pacific
as our destiny requires. lie doubled up his Est st
England, and switched round among the Mexicaas
like horse in poultry yard. The Judge plainly
thinks he has got hold OF platform where he can
make great splash before four years come round
Well, we think he has. But il he don't get
drowned OIL he will be lucky.
Gen. 10 LANE, OF Oregon, twho was introduced
as Joseph Lane, Of New-Alexieo) a very clever,
excellent man. who has very strong personal friends
in Indiana next made Il rambling, ganulous speech
of no account. We thought it very ridiculous
that the gentleman who introduced the various
ex presidential candidates 10 the meeting did not
even know what part of the country they hailed
from. There are good many OF them to be sum,
but still by the aid of little pocket memorandan
book. almost anybody might keep his memoVn'
fieshed on this point.
Gen. LANE was followed by Mr.. GALLAouEE
of Baltimore, who showed himself to be one Of the
gladlatorial specimens Of the political orator he
csyorted in the most absurd and ludicrous manner
both physically and mentally. The meeting vas
none of our affair, and so we did not feel ashamed
| But we did think the ex-Presidential candidates
might have been spared the modification Of beng
associated with such a coadjutOr.
After this, some other speakers were brousa'
on but the people had begun TO dsperse, and E0'
assembly gradually died out. A few rockets were
seat up from the backsde Of the Court-House an'
few old boxes were set on fire in one little Pish
the street but the whole thing was anSin aa'
feeble the crowd were generally quite solemn
barring that little extempore feror was n'a,
tested by some occasional hurrahs Tor
ScoTT." The rest Of the demonstrations wei
very sad, mainly in the programme, and do"
order. On the whole the meeting was well eslcT
lated to excite the impression that the Loco-foS
Presidential candidate was sure to be PiEk@'y
| through with many sorrows by the close o. W
| esmpaign. There seemed TO be no such TIM
starting any glow or magnetism on the ''ae -
