MEssRs. EDITORS To corrupt, divide, and
conquer has been the watchword and settled
policy of locofocoism for the last six wears.
until faith in these elements of success has
led the party to boast that it can seduce and
betray whenever and whomsoever it will.
These are the secret springs that are to be
put in operation throughout the country until
after the election of 1860. The subtle chiefs
who minister to the high altar of Locofocoism.

have nearly digested their plan for the ap-
preaching campaign.
Senator Green-Kansas Senator Green
has been here for sometime, daily in the pad,
between the friends of Senator Douglas, also
of Kansas notoriety, and White House Bu-

Autocrat Buchanan-trying to heal the ugly
scars these pigmies made upon the political
fame of the Little Giant" They are patting
him upon the head with the most affectionate
caresses now, and sugaring the teat which
they force toward his reluctant mouth, expect
ing to seduce him into the "nasty sty,"-
perhaps they may. Green says they have
succeeded, and that now Douglas will help to
keep down the skirts of the old political trollop
until after the election. Nous uerrons.
In the campaign of 1860 no reliance will
rest upon political doctrines or principles.
They have worn threadbare that old humbug,
and ruled it out of service. All the clap.trap.
cant, deceit, treachery and perfidy, heretofore
concealed under the cloak of DOCTRINE, has
been exposed and routed by the friends of
truth; so that new system of tactics has
become indispensable, and an attempt will be
made to carry the election by whirlwind of
fury and excitement.
The vilest Vaccinations of the lowest DEM
agogues are to be called into service; the
whole country to be intoxicated with the fren-
zy OF excitement the great deep food of
popular passions is to be let loose from its
profoundest depth rancor, tumult, and social
discord is to do the hellish work, while from
the angry and believing waves, these demons
of the night hope to secure sufficient drift
wood to erect upon the ruins of social order,
an ark of individual safety.
However ignoble the service-a servitude
from which common decency revolts-the
party is sure of body-guard, beginning with
the great Corrupter-General, and passing
down through the Court. Corrupters, Post
Office Corupters, and would-be Congressman
Corrupters. tits condition OF holding office,

ignominy, dishonor and servility, must be
laid aside until the dreadful task is com.

chief reliance is to be placed upon the mer-
cenary press-gang of Locofocoism, which ever
seeks its own private gain, at the expense of
public prosperity.
Let me here Interpose query, and ask of
the moderate, calm, reflective, industrial Dor
ton OF the country-and put the question
seriously-What are the units, which make
up the sum of power, now governing the Re-
public? With the slightest vestige of patri-
otisrn, which is daily declining by dissensions,
it is made up of bulleyism, rowdyism, dema-
goguism-an aggregation, organization, CON-
bination, of all the evil elements that an infer.

SO terrible does this horde purpose to make
the battle cry of Democracy" that like the
Turkish mother in the days of the Crusaders.

all moderate men to save the country from the
fury of Jacobinism, and the whirlwind of riot
and anarchy, will retire from the conflict in
silence, while towards will give up the battle
in the face of fear. So they hope.
Never were the powers of darkness more
blinded, and never did the people
hold in reserve more terrible punishment,
than awaits this devouring monster. Patri,
otism knows no fear, nor no surrender, when
the peace and freedom of the country is in
danger.

ment Of avarice, peculation and fraud? 1t is
an absurdity it cannot be. And yet, if we
would hold any terms with the opposition
party, it must be upon one condition-that
they possess all power; that we become their
vassals, the hewers of wood and drawers Of
water, and give the revenues of our labor for
their support.
1t would be as impossible to effect the re-
generation of the country by an aftiliation with
the present corrupt office-holders, as to fish
up religion from the depths of hell. Burke's

no regeneration in these elements, and of
