The Honorable r. II. STANTON, who was
member of the last Congress from the Mays
vile fKy.) District, and who is the loeofoco
candidate for reelection, has made a sudden
and very striking exhibition of himself and To-
eofocoism.
II seems that Mr. SAMUEL PIKE, editor OF
the Paducah Pennant, locoloco paper, has
recently fallen out with Mr.. STANTON. and has
seen fit to give TO the public certain moving
reasons which Mr.. STANTON urged in private
way of bis own election. The following is an
example
saw men in New York, Philadelphia, and
here, who want my services and are willing to
pay for them, and pay Ior them weH. II / can
Be reelected, 1 can moke great deal Of money
But this is between ourselves.
Locofocoism is every where and under all
circumstances the same. The history Of the
party and every days experience sh, VS. in a
clearer light the compact truth embodied in Mr..
CALHouE's statement that the locofocos are
held together by "the cohesive power of pub
lie plundei" Here is pink Of locOfoco who
evidently, il elected, means to sell his position
as a member of the American Congress, for
money. 81 saw men in New York, Philadel-
phia and here" (Washington;) and elf can be
re elected can make great deal of money"
Most assuredly this ought to arouse the locofO-
cos of the Maysville District to an exertion in
Mr.. SrANroN's behalf fully commensurate with
/ the importance and necessity Of the exlgency.
The Louisville Journal, referring to this
matter, makes the following application to a
case in point ;-Clev. Herald.
/ ub;ist he a
member of the U. S. Senate, undertook, for a
stipulated fee, TO manage a claim before the
Mexican Commissioners. He did not under
take to do it as a member of Congress-he
)uld have done Just as we'll if be had not been
member of that body. Yet all the locofoco
organs ofthe na'ion have assailed him with
the fercest cpithets of vituperaton, because,
whilst in Congress, he agreed, for remunera-
tion, to give his efforts in favor of a private
claim. These locofoco organs have with one
voice denounced the act as shameful and vii
famous, and said that man guilty of it should
never again be trusted or respected by the
people. And yet when democratic member
of Congress from Kentucky is detected in hav-
ing written that, if he could be reelected, he
"coald make a great deal of money" because
he knew of men in New York, Philadelphia
and Washington, who ''wanted his services
and woald pay for them well" the democratic
organs everywhere are clamorous for his rec
lection, and we cannot learn that any of the
democratic leaders of his district have the
slightest idea of Withholding their support
from him on account of the extraordinary de-
velopmentl
Ifany Wing candidate for Congress had ev-
er written such letter as Stanton wrote to
Pike, and it had been brought to light, would
there be any limit to the Locofoco execrations
of the offender? And yet from what Locofoco
mouth, except Pixies own. Go we hear even
the faintC st condemnation of Stanton? Where
is the Locofoco who does not desire that the
late Representative Of the Maysville district
shall be reelected and so have a chance tC
'make great deal Of money" out of the ''mer
in New York, Philadelphia, and Washington,
who, "if he can be reelected" are willing tC
pay him, and pay him well, for his services.
