ES The Locofoco papers of the coun-
try are now filled with laudatons of Frank
Pierce, for his veto Of the Harbor and Riv-
er Appropriation Bill, and at the same time
lament and deplorc the defeat of the meas
ure, which would place in bis hands ten
millions of dollars. that he might during the
interim of Congress get the United States
into war with Spain for the acquisition
of Cuba. In their eyes the Importance Of
our commercial interests are nothing in
comparison to the safety and perpetuity ol
slavery.
There is no possibility whatever that any
appropriations will be made for the securi.
ty of our commerce during the present ad-
miniStration unless the people repudiate the
whole batch Of doughfaces, who hold to the
silly notions infused into their brains by the
executive, and elect men who will pass the
bill over the head Of veto, by two-thirds
majority. 1t can be done. The veto o
the late bill has thrown a shell into the
ranks of the democracy, which completely
scatters the hopes Of their success in the
next canvass in the States bordering on the
lakes-Oho, Indiana, Illinois, Michigan
Iowa and Wisconsin will give her forty
eight votes for River and Harbor appro
priations.

Important Discovery.

The Greytown administration democrats,
of Lucas county, at recent county Con.
venlion, discovered and have published TO
the world, free of all charges and expense,
the important fact, that,
"The best test of democrat, is an an-
scratched ticket"
Reader, think of this a moment! You
know that about these days the political az
fairs of this country are managed by few
foxy gentlemen who smell Office at dis
tance. They know they can never get tc
the desired place by the voluntary choice
of an intelligent, honest or free people,
What then? Why, only have party lap
that whoever is on the ticket must pass
whether he be genuine or counterfeit, and
these rascals who design to live on the gul.
libility ofthe unwary, stand the best chance.
They can promise, log-roll, bargain and
combine with others of the same stripe, to
get nomination, and then if the people
are taught that they must not scratch q
ticket all is safe.
What manifestation of political degen
eracy, is this contemplate resolution. Vote
for thief if he be only nominated by The
casting vote of one other thief in conven-
tion Of scoundrels.
Thos. Jefferson thought the test was, lis
he honest. is he capable, is he faithful to
the Constitution" But what was Thos
Jefferson By the side of Pierce, Douglas
Borland & Co., or by the democrats of Lu-
cas- county. under the tuition of Lieuten-
ant Governor of Ohio Oh, shame!

Eg- We would respectfully suggest an
improvement on the new democratic test.
The mscratched ticket is a good idea as far
as il goes, but if the voters would only fore
go the privilege of reading them, or max
ing any enquiries about the candidate il
would be much safer for great many Of
fee seekers next fall.
This plan would remove all temptation
to scrath. In short, true democrats who
expect to thrive in the party would do well
to shut up their eyes when they receive the
ticket and keep them closed till the vote is

Mob nj ST, Louis.

The recent mob on the evening Of the
election, turns cut TO be very serious az
fair. 1t was between the foreigners and
Americans. Which party were first the ag-
gressors it is impossible TO say, although it is
pretty generally conceded the fault was
with the foreigners. All sorts of weapons
were freely used, and some Of the arrested
ones were found to be well supplied with
powder and balls. The officers Of the city
could not quell the disturbance or disperse
the mob. A citizen police was organized
under Capt Eaton. consisting of twenty
three companies, twenty men each; after
two or three hours Intellectual exertions to
produce order and quiet, they gave up and
eight military companies were called out,
and by midnight the city was quiet. 1t has
been ascertained that ten persons were Kill
led, and twenty or thirty wounded, some Sc
riously, others slightly. Several arrests
were made.
Among the persons killed in The riot was
Mr. E. r. Violet, a highly respectable mer-
chant. An lrishman named Lydon has
been arrested for the murder. The Intel
Hgencer says;
He has family in Ireland When ar
rested he was armed with large horse
mans pistol, old fashion flnt-lock and very
rusty. lie had also on his person nearly
two pounds Of powder and balls tied up in
handkerchief. showing conclusiyely that
he was prepared for battle,

LAND GRADUATION Bill PAssED.-1t ap-
pears from statement in the Washington
Star that, contrary to the general impress
sion, the bill introduced by Mr.. Cobb Of Al
ALBANIA, TO graduate the price ofpubc lands
actually passed, and having been signed BY
the President has become law. The scale
of graduation adopted by the law is as
folows:-
"All lands which have been in market
for ten years or upward shall be snbjecl to
entry at one dollar pes acre; fifteen years
and upwards at seventy-fve cents; twenty
years and upward at fifty cents; twenty
five years and upward twenty-five cents !;
and thirty years and upward at twelve and
a-half cents per acre. Upon every reduc-
ton the occupant and settler TO have the
right Of preemption at such graduation pri-
ces until within thirty days preceding the
next graduation, but not TO interfere with
anv right which has heretofore accrued to
actual settlers. Any person applying to
enter any of the aforesaid lands is required
10 make affidavit that he or she enters the
same for his or her own use and for the
purpose Of actual settlement and cultiva
ton or for the use ofan adjoining farm own
ed or occupied by him or herself and that
together with such entry he or she has not
acquired from the United States under the
provisions of this act more than three bun
dred and twenty acres.'

Locofocoism is Responsible.

The Democrat, in trying to make itself
and its readers believe that is party its not
resposible for the passage of the Nebraska
bill, says:
Three etourths Of the best democratic pa
pers in the Northern States, also opposed
the measure while opposition was of any
avail. The charge therefore, that the dem
ocratic party is exclusively responsible for
it, is as near the truth as whiggery ever
gets"
We would ask the Democrat on which
side of the question those three fourtbs Of
the best democratic papers in the northern
States" now stand? The editor of the
Democrat, if we mistake not opposed the
passage of the bill. But he, like all the
rest, has come round, faced the music, and
supports it. And why, we will let him an
swer, he believes it is Calculated to raise a
tempest of excitement in the country, and
an opposition TO the democratic party which
had better be avoided" The party so-cal-
led democratic had rather see the policy Of
the country ruined than to raise their voices
against the acts of its lcaders,or the tissues
oftheir party" The Nebraska bill pas made

by the Union to be the "test of orthodoxy"
