Dougll.Face Sentiment
ff'rn,.3 ff1e r}nlffrnarA Pssrset.3

We perceive that the Locufoco pough.Faces
in Boston, New York and Philadelphia propose
holding meetings for the purpose Of arpcasing
the wrath of L0cofoco disuni0nists in the South,
at the recent exhibitions Of foolish sentimen-
talism for John Brown by handful, here aud
-. lfthere be any character in the world that We
bava contempt for, it is the officiating DouglI-
Face Of tue Free States lie has no real regard
whatever fur the South and its institutions. aud

he will proclaim himself our friend, keeping h,s
eyes steadily I'LL the while upon the pecunary
benefit 10 be derived tl.eretroui. lie will do
ANYTHING that Southern firc.eaters will require
Of him, even to licking the rerY dust off their
shoes; and though these partizans are perfectly
aware Of his hypocracv, yet, strange 10 say.
they effect to be grafiaed at the exhibition.
Why is this = Because they hope thus 10 get bis
vote. This is the sum and substance Of the
whole opperation. aud what is more, its real Oh
iect. The Locofocos Of the South demand tie
sacrafce, and the Locofocos Of the North arq
'rcady TO make ii.
We all know, that not single resolution will
be adopted 1t these forthcoming meetings. not
one word spoken by my Of their Dough-Facc
orators, that will express their real sentiments,
md so far as thc'American party at Maryland
are concerned. they want none Of this make.
believe sympathy. Indeed. they want no SYM
pathy at ali from any body. They are power
IN tie State, not q 81 Balance OF Power party,
and though they were cheated at the late cleo
tion ont Of the minority in the counties, they
mean to get it back next fall, without SO much
as saying to the Locofoeoe, q BY your leave"
They are MOTTO be deceived about the real sen.
timents Of the people Of the Free Etates about
Slavery, and they don't want my Northern or
Western man to eat dirt to please them. They
don't ask my such degradation. What they
want is the vote Of the Northern and Western
Opposition, by whatever namc they may Gull
themselves, for conservative Presidential
ticke, next fa1l.7 As to Slavery: in Maryland,
they eau take care Of that themselves, and :as
they bold opinions abopt that institution, con-
rrary to those entertained by people In tbs Free
States; they, don't require Of those pe6le as a
prelude to political union in Tue next Presi:
Dental election, the surrender Of their manhood
or the profession. Of I. lie on. their lips about
Slavery. That's Locofoco tactics.
