NEW YORK L0cOF0C0IsM.

New York l.ocofocism, typical OF the
present condition of the old Democratic par
ty throughout the Union, is in snarl, from
which it will require more than the magical
powers of Van Buren,, or demagoguical
persuasion Of Washington Union, to eX-
tricate il. We can't say that Temperance
is the cat at the bottom q this meal, but we
are at liberty t. believe that had il not been
for that element, and the disposition shown
by the more upright of the party to urge its
claims regardless Of minor considerations,
the Ioeoforo party would now have been an
unit in the L. States. The No. Republican
Of last Wednesday, thus elucidatcs the con-
dition Of the Locotoco party in New York
at the present time
Locofecoism is split all toe pieces in New
York. and no one out of the State can ex-
actly understand why or Wherelore--eAcept
it be that there are two sets OF political
knaves, and not half enough offices to accom-
mediate them. The Convention which met
last week .busted up almost before i got
under way, and then two Conventions were
held, each Of which adopted a ticket and
built a platform The Hard Shells, as they
are now termed, nominated the following
ticket:

The Washington Family.

A friend. MIR. Thomas Jones, has present
ed us with bit of carved wainscot, OF old
English oak, from the ancient mansion OF
the Washington family. in Sulgrave, North
amptonshirc. England. During the resi-
ience of the family at the mansion they
were visited by Queen Elizabeth, since
which time the street upon which the house
stands has been called Queen street. The
building is covered with stone slabs, but is
becoming very dilapidated. Over the front
entrance is engraved the coat of arms OF the
Washington family. "A monument Is erected
in Nortiamptonsiire 10 George Washington
and he is claimed as Aortbampioasiire MAJ.
The Washington mansion possesses great
interest to the American, and few OF our
countrymen visit the shores of England
without including it as one of the special
objects of their observation.

AMERICAN "; ENaIrsH IRON.

The Democratic Press, OF Chicago, has an
article showing the superiority of American
over English iron for railway purposes
This fact has been established and the in
quiry naturally arises, why then give the
preference to the English article in the con-
struction OF our Railroads. From its cheap
ness. very truly replies the Press: the con-
tract is taken to construct the Road at a
certain rate and then the cheapest materials
are purchased in order TO leave 4 wider mar
gin for profit In other words, eheapness
rather than durability or safety, is the dcsid-
eratum, Il is wrong, all wrong, and IN the
pursuance OF this miserable policy We are
draining our country ct money, rohhins our
artisans of their means Of livelihood and r.
ducinr the revenue Of our government;
while at the same time we are laying down
our English rails over inexhaustible beds Of
coal and iron. which the great God Of nature
gave us for our own consumption, never in
tending that We should be tributary for these
articles upon any other nation under the
sun.
Ii American iron be worth more than
double that Of English, why not give il the
preference in the construction OF our Rail-
roads, Because the latter is the cheapest!
And why is it cheapest, Because more
extensively manufactured. And why
more extensively manufactured Be-
cause more largely patronized. Precise
ly, then patrcnize your own manufactures
and they will be enabled to compete with
those of England, But how shall we do
this, We will tell you-by placing tariff
SO high on the imported article as TO make
it an object for American manufacturers
again to engage in the business and compe-
,ition will SO regulate the prices under the
increased demand that in a few years. with
the facilities we possess for the manutac-
ture of iron, the duty may be taken off and
England no more will be able to compete
with Us in prices than she can now in quail
ity Of manufacture.

THOSE LIyERIEs.

The New York Tribune does not seem to
be able to excite much Indignation through
out the country at the idea OF the President
riding about Washington in his coach.
People seem to think that if the President
does nothing worse, this will ha' dly be ialr
ground for opposition A iIandria Ga-eis
Our Loo afoco eotemporares are so sore
with regard TO the aristocratie, or autoer4tic,
fashion introduced by President Pierce, in
clothing his menials in livery, thus aplng
the most prominent feature of monarehical
governments. that they appear intent upon
some knot-hole, however Insignificant, al
which to creep out. The above paragraph,
however, is scarcely entitled to the appella-
ton, being more that Of a worm-hole'
Now who said anything about the Presi-
dent riding in his carriage, or cares anything
about it, We presume Gen Jackson him
self. did the same But Gen. Jackson new
er clothed his servants in livery! that was
left for Gen Pierce To do. Imagine, if you
plcase, old Zack Taylor, General indeed
and in truth, or George Washington, another
General. clothing their servants in livery!
Old Zach is of our own day-think Of hits
ridingi in his carriage with driver ami lack 5
dressed in uniform! The idea is preposter-

II is trait of human mind, that little
men in prominent stations, when they can
not become eminent by some deed of daring.
resort TO acts by which they may become
notorious. Caligula and Nero signalizcd
themselves by the most atrocious acts Of
cruelty; Washington By endearing himself
to the hearts Of his countrymen. Gen.
Pierce. unable to DO the one and inc3mpe-
tent to perform the other, in the perform
ance Of simple act Of tom-foolery would
hope to accomplish similar result. The
democratic citizens of the u. States will
frown upon all such shallow attempts to
stamp his reign with any other than common
place features.
