Rurus CHoArE-The locofocos are

RurUs CHoArE.-The locofocos are
cackling over the vast acquisition they
have gained in the person of Rufus
Choate. Well they may. He is worth
hundred ef their best, with his million
errors. The somersault he has taken
backward in the African Democracy,
surprises no one acquainted with the
habits and temperament of the man.
We have heard the prophecy for years
from hundred mouths, that Choate
would yet die in mad house, and the
prophecy is about to be fulfilled liter
ally, as it is politically. He is herded
with crazy politicians. as the admins
tration of Pierce can truly attest, and
that he has died an inglorious political
death is certain. 1t is equally as GER
tain that he is as lunatic as the company
he keeps. Some of his language to the
old line Wings of Maine, we quote to
prove that reason is dethroned in the
brain of Rufus Choate
"And Kansas! Let that abused and
profaned soil have calm within its bor-
ders; deliver it over to the natural law
of peaceful and spontaneous emigration
take off the rn.n1ian bands0strike
down the RTE and the bowie-knife-
guard rs Strenuous infancy and youth
'pi 1t coEres of age to choose for itself
and it will choose freedom for itself, AM
It will have forever what it chooses
When this policy, so easy, simple and
just, is tried and fails, it will be time
enough to resort to revolution. 1t is in
part because the duty of protection to
the local settler was not performed that
the Democratic party has already, by
the action Of its great representative
convention, resolved to put out of Office
its own administration. The country
demands that Congress, before it ad-
journs, give that territory peace. If it
do, time will inevitably give it freedom"
Now, we don't object to word of
this, except the reason alleged for put
ting out of Office the present administra
tion. Every body knows that to be
false, and none but a mad man will as
sert to the contrary. Frank Pierce was
thrown overheard, but his whole policy
so far as Kansas is concerned was en-
dorsed by the Cincinnati Convention
Who among the Democrats proposes
different course than that pursued by
the present administration ? Not one.
We challenge the production of single
Democratic journal in this State that
does not favor giving the hair of the dog
to cure its bite. They have no other
measure of pacifcation to offer, and i'm
pudently assert that no other is needed
The American party favors striking
down the rifle and the bowie knife
taking off the rufian thanksgiving
Kansas over to the natural law ofpeace-
full and spontaneous immigration, and
by the practice of spirit of Cancellation
to restore calm to the abused and pro-
famed soil of Kansas. But he who looks
to the locofoco party for pacifcation,
when the clamor of the party is for con-
tinual war, and its candidate is pledged
to continue the evil commenced by his
predecessor, is as crazy as June bug.
The policy which is $50 simple, easy
and just" is not to be carried out by
favoring either of the two sectional par
ties. We want a compromise man,
mediator between factions. The Ameri-
cans put him forth in the person of Mil
lard Fillmore, who has restored peace
to the Southwest, and the country de-
mands him to do the same patriotic duty
again.
