Political, GRAVE HATTERS, WORTHY THE SKIUOUa A rTENTtOS OF THE PFOPI.ROPUIUU. CHAI'IKK I We propose to lay before the readers of the Journal, in a aeriea of nrticloa devoted to the suhjtx-t, t be courtienf the Locofoco party in tho Stnto of Ohio during the year pntt more epecinlly, na developed in the fint aaioti of tho first Legishturo that aaaemblcd under tint new cnuatittttion of our State. To appreciate ttiia fully, it ia expedient to go bAck, and roviuw the prominent incidents Unit biive marked lite action of tho two grout panic for mme yt-ars past. Wo promise to hnMeii na briefly aa its imparlance will admit, ovor thin p u t of the work, and afterward, confine nursolvca to tho Logiala ure of tho past winter. It is known lo ovcry intelligent person, that, under n rule of Locofocoitrn, from M2 to '45, the finances and credit ot tho Slate suffered a Berious depreciation. Our Bunking institutions, which wcro chartered some twenty yours previous, wcro about to go out of exist-once, and uo feasible, prnctirnl plnn for removing tht-ra or impplying their places wns proposed by the men n in power. "Bank Reform, had been the cry since I8. Tho avowal was not then run do that Bank dtit ruction was Iho real end and aim of the louden. Thu public mind wm not prepared for that. But tho deception was kept up by plausiblo appenrancufi, and wo had Latham's Bunk bill, und Baktlev'b Batik bill, offered to tho people. TIicho wero never designed by loiratithora to he of any practical use. There wan no vitality in them, and there was intended to be none. Thuy wore mere lures, held out to deceive and burn ing the people. Their authors, na well aa bankers ami nisiiicss men over the Slate, know that not a bank would bo established, or a dollar of stock taken, tinder either of these laws. The people finally began to un- lerstund this. Thoy also saw that their Locofoco load ers were fuat throwing off their disguise that concealed and wore, ono, by one, declaring against all Banks, and in I'uvor of un exclusive metallic currency. When this became apparent, tho Slate Legislatures be came decidedly Whig, with wliit rein I in we shall show b'Toulior, Again, the iinniiciul coiiditinu of iho Slide had become much otiitmruaseil, and imperatively ueedud a thorough revision. An iuvestiguiioii by a coiniielent board, bad yuionsirated that our monctury nll'tir bad been very nnt'ly managed, and (but tent and hundreds of ibouaatids of dullurs had been absolutely plundered, itolen from the treasury. The celebrated report of the ' Commit tee on Rascality" will long stand, a black and damning record of iho politic il morality thut then held power and place, and ruled the destinies of two millions of men. The r.llicers having the direction of nnr u nancial utiaira did not provide the necessary funds for the current exponncg of ibe guvernineni, uud for tho payment of the interest on our public debt. It is n matter of notoriety, that for years the officers of State borrowed money to p iy a purl ion of the interest on tho public debt. Our lin:tiuial system wail unequal and had. Mr. Ritouoii, I he Auditor uf 3'nln, urged, Willi pertinacity and force, iho neceaiity nf tho Legislature adopting a new and more equal tax system. But the leading men of that party, (hen, ns uow, lacked moral courage. They saw, and admitted (he neccteuty nf a revision of the tax law. Mr. Bitouim declared in his report, that it was not only a mat 1 or demanded by its abstract justice, but it would soon force itself upon tho Legiilature ns a monstiro of stern necessity. And yet, so timid, so afraid of doing their duty, where Ihero was possibility of their losing popularity, wero these men, tint they dared not tulto Iho first stop toward thoaccom- ifhineut of the greul work winch was imperatively demanded by the wants of iho Slate. Tho Locofoco purty failing to meet thocriia on this subject, as welt an upon the banking question, the peoplo-of the Stale, ngaiu in their hour of trouhlo, turned their eyes to tho Whig party, and the year 18 H found them in full pow er iu iho S ate, with the control of all branches of its government, Tho Legislature established n banking system which had a practical character, and which wua designed by its makers to bo put into operation. It a worked well from that d.iy to llm; ami, though subsequent experience has probably demonstrated that system founded on a plcdo of stocks, State and Na tional, is more safe and oriuily managed, yet I he other feature of the B ink Law nf A. has been of decided Ivauitigo to tho buaineas and currency of the Stale. Under tho operation of the two fold system, then adopt- Ohio Banks have ngaiu been placed in a position to Id a great proportion of tho legitimate buiineps re- pnred of thtfiu, and furniahi-d a sale, sound currency of our own, f r our people. So much for that branch of the subject. The ro vie lull tif our system of Uxulioii wua another f the great, imperative duties, thrown upon the Whig party. Wo all know how boldly and manfully they met it. Scorning Iho cowardly, skulking, temporizing course that bud disgraced and ruined their opponents, lu y Itwikt d the danger right in tho face, and mnrched in the lino of duty regntdb as of personal cotisequcn res. Tho Tax law of llMli wns adopted. Who tines not remember, the long, loud and doleful howl (hut Locofocobin, all ovor Ohio, get up on its passage? Every bao appliance was used to crush its friends. I'lio vilest falsehoods, Iho moat outrtlgeoii id) rise,! we re nped upon tlmm. Iho nolorioua anil eternally infa mous shoot railed the ''TAX KILLKIl" was Blurted at the Ohio ijateiman ollice, ntid ita diagruciTol issues wero scattered broadcast nil over the S'tite. Hut truth and the right are mighty, nnd in th-M-nd mtit prevail The Tax law wn made Iho iuo at iho election in the of in 10, and, alter having been thoroughly discuss. ed before tho people, they auxtained ilt friends by a triumphant majority. Thtm iho two great measures, the Currency nnd the Financial Policy, received their impress from iho Whig party, nnd to their beneficent poratiou do wo owe much of that gn at prosperity ilmt is ours, both ai a State and ns individuals, Tho Whig party had redeemed its promise to thi people. It had performed what it was culled upon to perform. It had dono its whole duty, and bnd done It well. It bad nothing more lo propose but a wise, faith ful and economical ailniiniatrniion nf our n (fairs. Ohio was rapidly advancing in wealth. Her public works had develop-d her resources and stimulated her soih lo still farther etVorfs. Our great system of rudroadi was then prndimlly ox tending itself, and opening up now regions to market. Matters progressed smoothly and iu order till 1848, when came lliat we will not now attip to ilisciiss brought new element into our Slate politics, uuder tho operation uf which tho Loco foco party has a gum secured a temporary uiceiulency in iho Slate. A new constitution bus been ndopted Under the apportionment niiulo by it, aided by local divisions among our Itieuds, ami, lo nmn extent. feeling of willingness that tho party which claimed to bo its special friends should have the privilege aa well tho roapoiibibihiy of getting the machinery of pov ernment in operalioti under its proviiious, the Leg is I a Uiro elected lust bill was strongly Locofoco in both branches. Iu the Senate Ihero were twenty-six Loco I'ocos, eight Whigs and ntio Free-soiler, and iu the House about iho same proportion. It will thus be seen that the Locofoco bad every ihingin their own bauds, and they used their power without scruplo and without tint. Every committee was in tboir power. Tho chairmen uf Iheso committees were all of tho faiib, Nothing could be ropnrlol in llie usual way. except through these party channels. Willi more than two thirds uf each branch with power to cury any mens tiro, however odious I here wua never a Legislature that had less cuit.-o uf complaint of opponents, or which was more cotupUtely roipuumble to the poop for their act uf commission and omission. With this lair start with power and patronage with an unirammeled field loroH)ratioiis the question arisca, what did this Legislature do? Were its acts wise or foolish f Wore its labors for the bonetit of the people of the great State of Ohio t Was economy the practice of its members f Was public failh regarded! Wero private righia respected t Wero ita legislative acts aimed at the good of the entire people T How long ditl it continue in session T &c. These are all matters about which iho I'KOI'I.R OF OHIO hav an abiding intercut. They are imi'tor which we pro. pose to discuss in future numbers. We affirm that tli State ol Ohio never had so weak, iueflicionl, and good for nothing Legislature aa the present one. We say thoy have eiiber iguoratilly or by design, trampled on private rights, both of individuals and of corporations tint the plainest and most common principles of itn lice and equality were trampled upon and cootemned; all uf which wo pledge ourselves to establish beyond controversy, and for all which we inlend to hold that party responsible before the tribunal of the people. We shall commente with spec iticat ion of impeachment in oar nt chapter. A Terrible State of Affairs in Hamilton County ! The Democracy Torn ABunder I ! Secret Sooietiei '.Dr. Fries, Tim Day & Co., bolting. The End not yet. The intention of the frameia of tho new Constitution was, to give Hamilton county a controlling influ ence in tho government of the State. Hence, they re- ied to adopt tho only fair and proper plan, the sin gle district system, but threw iho three senators and eight representatives from that county, into one district, thus overwhelming tho largo whig majorities, in cer. tain wards and sections, with larger locofoco majori-lie's in other portions, nnd giving to tho county an en-tiro locofoco delegation. This largo delegation will gen erally control the legislature. The only thing that tho intriguing demagogues, who flourish in that soil, liko rank weeds on a dung-hill, desired, was, to fir up some machinery by which they could secure all these offi ces, honors ana emoluments to iiiemseivea. u mieti this, the leading spirits formed n tecret political associa tion, and, by the most solemn oaths, bound themselves to sectiro tho nomination and election of the persons, members of their society, who might, by vote of the Bficicty, ho ngrced upon. This machinery has been in operation tor some time past. It was evidont to the outsiders ot llie pariy, wno wanted to be candidates, Hint some unseen, but potent influence prevailed against thorn. Inquiry and tnves-vestigation have divulged tho startling fact Hut a powerful secret organization existed, which controlled eve ry thing in tho county. Dr. FniKS, ex member of Con gross, Timothy 0. Day, ox-oditor of the Cincinnati En-quircr, and a number of distinguished Democrats, finding out these things, wrote an exposition, protest, and appeal to the Democracy of Hamilton county. They took their appeal to the Cincinnati Enquirer, but, very much to their surprise, they were told that their remonstrance could not Bppear in that organ of the party. In this emergency, they went to tho ftonpanel and procured its publication. By Ibis, wo infer 'bat all iho editors of Iho locofoco papers, in the city, are members of the club. The article is prefaced ns follows: For Iho Nonpareil, Democrats, Attention ! Fellow Democrats: ''w columns of our old organ having been closed against us, we aro indented to Iho courtesy of the proprietors of tho Daily Nonpareil, for tho present opportunity of placing before you information we concoivo tu fie of the greatest importance to iho well being uf tho party we mutually consider it our duty to cherish and respect. For tho first time, to our knowledge, iho columiis of tho Enquirer have been refused to those ol the party, wDubo Democracy, and labors for tlm party its editors cannot denywho, being possessed ol inturuiiiiiuu concerning mo vnawy of ibo party, and involving its reputation tor open and frank assertion of tho truih, desired to lay such information before ibo Democracy of the county. The odit.irsnf the Enquirer, by tiieir couro, nave given cause for llie impuunmeut ot their motives, and if vil emnea to tho uartv. the blame will rest with them, because they have sncriticed tho confidence id" tho parly, and forced a false iacue, lor tho sake of individuals. ' If tho organ has n .t ike confidence of tho party, it is liko an army uhont a general ; and it do-feat follows, it will properly bo laid nt the door of its liters, who obstinately and perversely reiuseu io uo their whole duty in Iho premises, regardless ot mdi- idtiid sacnlices. Mortified ns we ate, to be compelled to as it you to turn your eyes lo other columns tnaii tnose oi me inquirer, for inlormiition mi matters of grent importance to tho integrity til llm party, wo must do so, for roa sons above slated. Aa this secret club may mdy bo owe of the kind, and ns others may exist iu other parts of the Slate, we give the sketch of it in full, as stated by Fries, Day, &. It discloses n pretty state of nlhirs, truly ! It is a fair commentary on the confidence (?) which these brawl-tng demagogues repose iu the people ! Thoy aro tho hut men lliat have faith or trust in tho integrity of the Will the people learn wisdom from this dts- sract f'tl exposure, and appreciate at its true value the cant of tho demagogue knave who dofruuiht them of their rights in this way? To tho Democracy of Hamilton County. Tho undersigned liavmn been made fully acquainted with tho existence of a secret political organization in this county, we feel it our bniindeti duty, ns members and sincere friends nf iho Democratic party, to take this public method of exposing tho active instigators of such a plot against tho viinlity of the rule of the people. Iu thus performing what we perceive to be our sacred duty, we expect that llm silly cry, that we aro destroying Iho Democralie parly, will bo raised by tlin.e whu have a seinsu motive in uiua aeeKing u slide enquiry, to escape tho certain punishment that will be meted out to ihm by a party p-nlou ol its in tegrity. But we heard llm same cry, irotn ine same persons, in 18,10; and after tho striking results of that year nt "bolter destruction, we ore sure lliat tlie Democracy will not tear mat mo loss oi a iow oi wo tine " boiling ' crown win nave any serious eueei, oi this time, unless it is to strengthen by purilying iho parly. If such intriguers such more searchers after nosiiion nnd nluce. aro of any roal value tn the Demo cratic unriv. wo have yt to learn it, and once con vinced of its iru'li, our both and reliance in the per- mniioiicvof Democratic principles will bo cmisulora- bly lowered. But wo all know, by the experience of 18.10, the party is thn strongest when ii lias sucti men in opposition; and we call upon Ibo Democracy to act with orouintucss and pistice, oven il too result snail he tho hiss nf a few ollice seeking " bolters."

Wo have many morn names, but theao are enough to shew llm character til' (lie concern. In our list are a few good, imn-nllico seeking Democrats, whose names in suvh connection, can bo honestly accounted for ; but the great majority are of that class that cannot wait until thn people want them. Those members who are reliable Democrats, wore monstrously hunted ami con nectrd with (lie socioty, that in the event of a discov ery, their names might cover a " multitude uf sins;' and it will bo observed that one name, namely, the nominee for Sheriff, is placed on the ticket, making a virtue of necessity, which will be Bought lo be used as a shield to protect the guilty persons from the just ia d i go a lion of an outraged party. oX While on tho subject of luemben-hip we will re mark, that wiihin tho pat t few days, a large number of lists of names purporting to be ihose of members ot this society have been anonymously circulated by inter csted persons, with the evident design of throwing a doubt over the existence of this society. But few on tho lists, so circulated, are members, and as every one knows in his own heart whether be is a member or not, we judge lliat so flimsy a scheme will recoil upon the heads of its authors. We have thus ranid v sketched the outlines nt the organization and purposes of thiasccret political soci ety, which has lasteued itseii, line un ugiy warctonine fair form of Democracy, kindly volunteering to save tho people tho trouble of managing their own affairs ; but we have in reserve details that will complete llie picture, to be ued as circumstance may dictato.

The three lending Democratic presses nf Ohio, viz : tho Cleveland I'lttiudealer, Columbus Statesman nnd Cincinnati Enquirer, have backed nut of the position they hrst assumed, ot resting Mr, 1 lerco s claims lor the Presidency upon his military career.

We havo never inmlo Hint charge, but wo have pmvnn, as they well know, that he never engaged in nclu-il Imtdo.

To recapitulate the whole of Mr. Pierco'sexidoils in tlie valley of Mexico, the ollicial reports und Executive Documents sum them up as follows: I.

We give below the Letter of Sonaior UiusE to the Massachusetts r ree Sou Convention. Washington, June 9, 185'.!. DtARSin: I have received your letter, inviting me, in behalf cf iho Free Democratic State Committee, to aiteud the Convention uf the Free Democrncy of Mas-snehuseits, to be bold at Worcester ot tho 6th inst.; and requesting nf mo, in case of inability to accept that invitation, sumo expression of my views upon political prospects nnd duties. Engagements hero pre clude llie possibility of my attendance at Worcester, and the tViussacliusrtits rree Democracy has proved it self so clear in its understanding and so devoted to tho performance of its political duties, that any expression of my views on that subject seems quite superfluous. Nor is it needful that I say a word as tu political prospects. Indeed, I do not protend tn discern with any clearness even what lies nearest in tho future. Of this only am I absolutely certain, that truth and right must prevail. Their triumph may be postponed, but it must come. Shame and wrong must cense they may endure for a while, and ovon seem Btroiiff and per manent, but they will vanish away. slavery, theretoro, must perish, and all combinations to uphold it will bo broken. For this result, with tho least ndmixturo of evil, I have looked, and still look, lo tho Democracy of the Union. The principles of tho Democrncy promulgated by Jefferson, and deeply sealed in the convictions nf tho people, faithfully and wisely applied to these qu stions of slavery, which have now tome to be of paramount importance, and imperatively demand a final and Constitutional settlement, would accomplish that great end, securing and establishing (he rights of men, without invading the rights of the States. We cannot, however, shut our eyes to (he btrt ttiat (here is a power in our country, outside of (he Democracy, and in many respects untagonisiic to the Democracy, iho aid of which has been thought essential to llm success nf its national candidates, and purchased not iitilrequently by marked sacrifices of Democratic principles, 1 refer, of course, lo tho Slave power, winch lor years past has boeu still ered to dictate the organization, rules, platforms and nominations of our National Democrniic Conventions, its adherenlsdeclar- ing iu auvuuco llieir determination to support no candidates, whether nominated by the Convention or not, who should tavor any application of Democratic prin ciples which would endanger its ascendancy, and insisting upon the adoption of a rule winch enables Ihem to defeat any nomination not entirely satisfactory to themselves, have hitherto exerted an effective control over the results of these party conventions. 1 nts powor is essentially aristocratic, and even oli garchic. Continued submission to it is incompatible with ihu permanent existence of earnest Democracy. The advocates uf submission, however, will be n it morons, and the motives nf submission powerful, so long as parly success is ifiought in be secured by it; but lei there once bo called into existence a counter power, which will demnnd tho faithful application of Democratic principles tu all questions, including the great questions of Slavery, as the conditions nf support of tlie National nominations, an that the sacrifice will prove more dangerous than tho maintenanco of princi- ciples, anil tho advocates and the motives of submission will disappear together. Such a counter power may be found in an independ ent Democracy, which, acting cordially with (bo rest of their Democratic brethren wfien thoy can whhout compromising principle, will, nevertheless, steadily re fuse to tio so when such a Hon will involve such compromise. Sur Ii an independent Democracy, to maintain its tide tn confidence, must be unwavering in its support of Democratic measures, nnd in it adhesion to Democratic principles, and never enter into inconsistent alliances with the antagonists of Democracy. At the present moment, the need and importance of such an organization seems very manifest. The slave I power, springing from the rdave interest, has dictated the platforms and nominations of thn Democratic pnrty I at Baltimore. It has foreshadowed, by the expulsion of Hohert Il intnul from that body, thn proscription by llie administration of its nominees, in the event of their election, of nil Free Soil Democrats who h ive not recanted, and who will not recant their professions. There is ihen, in my judgment, no honorable choice left tn those Democrats who, while they mean tn abide faithfully by all the provisions of Iho constitution, yet j love freedom too well anil hate despotism ton sincerely to bn willing to adopt the Compromise of 1850, as a final settlement of the slavery question, or engage ihemselves tn the execution and maintenance, in all iis despotic stringency, without repeal or essential modi-fications, of the unjust, cruol and unconstitutional fugitive slnvo lnw, or pledge themselves ton crusade against freedom of speech and freedom of the press They are shut up by fidelity to Democratic principles, ns well as by personal consistency and sell respect, to the rejection of the nominees, ns well as the platform of the Convention, ihn nominees, of whom I would say nothing inconsistent wilfi high personal respect, rep resent their platform, and would thank nn one lor at tributing tn (hem ntiy purpose nf administration not entirely in harmony with Ks spirit and policy. In accordance wilh, these views I propose to act Tho path of duly lies clear before mo. I cannot sup port the nnmineos of the Baltimore Convention, nor can l act with any party hostile or indillorent to Dcm ncraiic principles; but wilh an independent Demoera cy, with what nne of your noble-hearted statesmen has so happily called a " Democratic Democracy I am prepared tn stand nnd do laithlul battle for freedom until tlie whole Democracy nf the country shall be come satisfied that consistent and impartial adhesion tn principles is safer, as well ns morn honorable, than inconsistent submission to the demands of a special in' tcreit. With the best wishes, your fellow citizen, To Hon. E. S Kryks, Chairman. S. P. Chase. The Democratic Candidate For iho Presidency was in Conaress nino years, four iit'tho Mouse ol Kepresentntives. and five in the Senate. Ho took, says the New York Express, no prominent part in tlie debates of either House of Congress, nor did tie occupy any important position, riven James K. Polk, when Speaker nf the House, placed Mr. Pierce at the end nf the committee un tlm Judiciary, and in un speech of bis, nor in anything said or done bv him. did (lie present fortunate candidate say or do aught entitling him to a more oxalted position. Still, Mr. Pierce did register bis voles upon certain subjects, and from these votes something may be learned in regard iu nil views ami opinions. Aim heroin concerning niVIKS AND HARnORS. In June, 1S3G, Mr. Pierre voted against thn bill "making additional appropriations for the Delaware breakwater, and for certain harbors, and romnving obstructions in and at tho mouths nf certain rivers, and for oihor purposes, for thn year 18:ifi." General Jackson signed ibis bill, and thus "Old Hickory" nnd Young Hickory, as he is called, stood nt the anti podes. At the same session, Mr. Pierce voted against the bill ' making appropriations for (ho improvement of certain harbors therein mentioned," which bill was also altnrwarda approved by Gen. Jackson. At the same session, he voted against " the bill tn continue the Cumberland Bond m tlie States of Ohio, Indiana and Illinois." This was nn the l!9lh of June, and on the 2d of July Gen. Jackson signed this very Cumberland II OHO U III . On tlie .!lt ol February, 111:17, Mr. Hubbard, of N Hampshire, presented in the Senate iho credentials of Mr. Pierce, elected a Senator Irom Iho State of New Hampshire, to serve for six years, Inun tlm 4th March them following. During the session of 18:17-38, lie recorded himself against a harbor bill that was vo ted for by Buchanan and Wright, At the same session, he also voted against a bill for Iho benefit of the Alabama, Florida and Georgia Hs.il mod Company, which even Messrs, Calhoun and Grundy voted for, nnd Mr. Pierce found himself iu a minority uf six iu opposition. But it was enough that tho bill cnuteue plated " internal impmvemeut." At the same session, a bill wbb before the Senate for the "benefit of the Mi. Carmel and New Albany Kailruad Company, iu the State of Indiana," providing for a grant uf alter nate sections along the road, (be Company contracting it) carry the maa jor twenty years viltiout charge to the Government; which would pay the Government at t' e ram ot one dollar auu six rents lor each acre granted Mr. Pierco voted against this bill. These are some of his votes in getieral. If wn took at (hem in detail, we find him voting against removing obstructions in the Hudson river, Genesee river. Oswe go river, tlm improvement ol the Dunkirk linrhor, against an appropriation for nain' a dredging machine on Lake hrie. against erecting n light house nt Mutl.ilo, and a beacon light at Erie, and against all improve ments for W ostein rivers and harbors, and even against paving tho expenses of surveys ami examinations ol tho public lands. Everything looking to tho improve mem nf the Internal Commerce of Iho country, or de signed lo save life and property, met wilh his uniform londemtiation and received his negative vote. The Republic gives the bill in defnil senitist which Mr. Pierce thus voted: Maine, Massachusetts, New lork, Ohio, Michigan, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Dela ware, North Cnrolina. Kentucky, Tennessee, Louisiana, Arkansas, Florida, aro all made l.i feel by hi votes when in Congress, what ihey aro to expect if he ever should be President. Grants needed lo improve iho nnvigntion of thn Ohm, Mississippi, and Missouri- reived bis undeviatiiig opposition. Congress more liberal and just agreed lo them by a vote of 101 to lift, and President Jackson ratified litem. Pierce lod Io d ofr at every one of them. The Dornocrnts who think ihey have a "Young Hickory" in Mr. I'iorce, have forgotten both Ihn antecedents uf General Jack son and of their candidate for President, Mr. Pierce. Those who wish to see the bill thus voted ngainst by Mr. Pierce in detail, will find it on turning tn Liltle & Brown's edition of the Public Statutes, (vol. ii. pa;,es il7, 08, f9.J This is uuly one chapter in Mr. Pierce's political history, nnd surely no friend of Commerce, no friend of Rivers and Harbors, will be so blind and infatuated aa to trust these great national interests to the tender mercies of such a candidate. ABOUT MAJORITIES, It is claimed by the Locofocos, and sometimes admitted by Whigs, that the Locofocos haveamsjority of tho people uf tlie Union, and that in order to carry an election for President, the Whigs must gain votes from the other sido. Many intelligent men on both sides seem to take this for granted. But is it true? What facts justify it 1 From the time of the dissolution uf the old Federal party to the administration of Andrew Jackson, there were no well defined party lines. Jackson and Ad-ami were both members of the old Democratic party, in the right line of succession, from Jefferson, through the Virginia dynasty to MuNnoK. Adams had received appointments from every Democratic President, and was even row, moro closely in their councils than Jackson. Tho contest between Adams and Jackson wns simply and merely a contest between men. Nn principle separated them. Jackson professed as much friendship for a protective tariff and internal improve men Is, ns Adams. But the old Federalists had a peculiar dislike to Adams, and many of them went over to Jack- soil This fact, connected with his military glory, even tually raised him to the Presidency. Van BunxN ingrafted npon Jackson's Administration the recent features of the organization and lacttcs the Locofocottm of the party. Clay, Scott, and thousands upon thousands, who had been the firmest Democrats of the Union, refused to become Locofocts. They refused to adopt, as their theory, tho cut under policy ; the idea of being against every thing. Thoy believed that useful public service required them to he for something. The great feat tiro of Jackson's Administration wns, (hat ho was against the United Stales Bank, and then against the pet bunks adopted to supply its place. In these the party was successful, eminently so. Then came Van BrjnXN, who by force of party organization and the prestige of Jackson's nam', got in to tho Presidency. He was against every thing. The sub-treasury plan, which ho favored, might stem to be an excop-tiou, but it was out so in truth, because it depended solely upon the ideH, not of its own merits, but upon successful opposition to all other measures adopted for the mime purpose, nnd upon Iho idea of being itself jusl tioiliitig at all. The public money plainly must be collected, nnd the whole idea of the sub-treasury is to lot it lie itlle after it is collected in Iho hands of gov-eminent officials : so that this is really no exception lo tne do-uothiiig policy of I.ucofocoim. Tho people got very tired of this iu four years, and elected a Whig by un overwhelming majority. Unfortunately Gen. Hakkibon died, und Iho country, for (he next four years, became extremely unseltled. Tho death of Gen Harrison und the course of Mr. Tyler, discouraged uud disorganized Iho Whigs. It was not the general Locofoco policy that elected Mr. Polk ; it was the Texas question, and tlm patronage of Mr. Tri.rn's administration, added to the party organization; nnd even then he could not have been elected without a fraud upon Pennsylvania; nor could Ihey elect a euccpsoor. Another Whig was elected, whose unfortunate demise again tended lo disorganize the friends nf his administration. The noble administration of Mr. Fillmore could not do everything. All pnrlies were thrown into confusion by the slavery ex. citoment ; and, under cover of being opposed to everything, the Locofoco gained largely and controlled Congress. But during all this timo ihey havo noiiher pro-posed nor done anything- In heir National Conven tion (hey could not agree upon a single principle of administrative or legislative policy, and were obliged to nominate a negative man, unknown to thu country, and put forth a string of ncgaiivo resolutions, propo si-g to do nothing lor the country. Their policy of cutting under, so successful for a time against the WhiSt is now at work agaiiift Ihemselves. Cass cut under Van Biiren and killed him; Van Burkn countermined and killtd Cass. Buchanan cut uuder everybody, and was iu the end countermined by Douolas, and li ft in the mud. Still another set cut under Di uui.as and nominated Pierce. No man iu (ho party dare propose a great measure for (he public service, nor dare the party in Convention propose any; hecntie (lie great idea nf cutting under and opposing everything is iHe in the party, anil uuscrnpulouily put in pra tice against each other. They can oppose everything, and still support Mr. Pikrce, because Mr. Pierce has nev-or done anything. No mail in (he party, whoso name has been connected wilh any great measure, could se cure n nomination. Ihey dare not even oppose man fully iho distinctive features of Whig policy. They make a war of details only upon the tar ill. Tlie pnrty dare not risk itself a moment upon the free trade theory, but si rive continually to keep its balance by tipping up and down, a little ono way, and a little the other. Thev dare uot miiko a manful opposition to in ternal improvements; but when a bill is proposed they load it down with amendment, and make it so monstrous that even its friends dislike it, and then turn round and kill it, saying : "You could not expect us to vote for sti'h a hill as that! " But upon tho principle of rt trade or internal im provements, lliat party dare not show ito1f. Il dare not even tuko ground in lavnr ot the laws ol (he conn- try, nr against them. It dare not openly advocate the enforcement of law against filibusters, nor oppose it. Thev tio a Hulo nne way and a little tho other. It is the same upon intervention and non-intervention. They had not tho manhood to tell Kossuth that they could do nothing for him; they tipped allttloin his direc tion, but then (hoy tipped a little in tho other, and did nothing. They daro not take the ground nf opposition to his requests, but dare not grant thorn. They pursue the same point-im-point course in regard to tho pub- lie lands. T hero is no single question ol foreign or domestic policy on which thoy can or dare take distinct ground. They did venture upon an annunciation in regard tn tho Oregon boundary, of " fifty-four forty or fight," but ihey made such a miserable fizele, they do not seem iiit lined tn repeat the experiment. It is not at all tho samo thing as the old Democratic party short tho most distinguished of tho men who formerly belonged tn that old party now act with tho Whigs, Thoy are as much Democrats as ever, but cannot bo mndo into Locofocos. Such was Harrison, such was Clay, such wns Gallatin, such was Rives, such was Taylor, aul iniiny others, civilians and warriors. Such is Scott. The Locofoco party has played the cut under game upon itself until there la no baud of cohesion left un til they daro tint announce a measure or a principle. Even Polk was distinctly for Torn, and distinctly for die fine ol " fifty -four forty." And so was the Conven tion that nominated him; but tho Convention which nominated Pixkck was not for anything, neither is Pikrckiu" anything; and ho poiuti triumphantly in Ins pttsl life, Iu winch he Ins dono nothing, to convince his party that he never will attempt tn do anything. This is sober IruUi, nnd not exaggeration. Jacobinism in Pahis first rut ibe throats of its opponents, and then cut its own; Lncofocoisin is unmistakably running tho same course io America. With llm virility of Jackson, it was a Lion. Under Van Burnt and Polk it became a F.iintich, and has uow nuuk into a sexless, charact r- less hermaphrodite, each semblance of a sex trying (o play false with the oilier. It is a hotchpot of " t'ogy ism," " fililmsterism," "Dorrism," "socialism." The ambition and the capability of statesmanship has de parted Inun it. Il baa discarded the principle of sub ordination tn national policy and national laws, until all subordination is lost within its nwu organization, and every man, envious of the one just ahead, is striv ing to depose him und lake bis place. The history of the last twelve years shows that the people nf ih country are tired of that tort of things. They were entrapped by Polk and Texas, but got rid of the dynasty the first opportunity. We entertain uo doubt (hat a targe nmj-uiiy of the people of the country to day are in favor nf the Whig policy in regard lo protection and internal improvements, The evidence is nil that way, ami so (hey will vole, so they have voted for yean, except when these questions were thrown out of sight by sotne overwhelming excitement, or when portions nt the country wore misled by fraud, Dickinson and Scott. Kx-Henator Dickinson, on Thursday night, made n speech in Oa'eyo county, in which, according tn the Ostego (("publican, he declared ti nt "Hcolt was a cab bint soldier and a worthy gentleman ; " (lint bis "lame nan military leader Was world wide" that bo was iho "greatest Captain of the age;" nnd if the people were g' ing tn elect a General, he (Scolt) should be tlie man. Dickinson was one of the candidates before tint Lo-oofoco Convention. That Convention nominated a General. One of Polk's creation, called Pikrce, Tho Whigs have uninitiated Gen. Scott, nnd Dickinson says, if the people aro going to elect a General, Scott should bo the man. This is rather nn important convert. We are not sure but Cabs, and Houston, anil all the rest of the defeated Locofoco candidates will also wheel into line and vote for Scott. GEN. PIERCE'S "IFEATHEBB." Ex-Brigadier General Franklin Pierce is what Mrs. Partington calls a " malicious rhu racier," ami, of course, frequently wears "feathers," if be do Dot make a " fuss " about it In the cuuise of his public career, entered upon and pursued sumo years before be was thought of for President of the United States, the Gen-em! supplied his cups from lime tn time with plumes, of various kinds, shapes, sir.es and colors. In sooth, our Frank Purse has a decided penchant for leathers: Lund, never did cockerel "Close by partlct perched on blgh," disport himself more proudly, in his regalia, than does our New Hampshire General. We propose here to give a slight description of each of these ornaments, for the edification uf our political and ornithological readers, viz : Feather No. 1. Occupying a seat for some years in the Now Hampshire Legislature, and doing nothing worthy of mention while first there. No. 2.

Seriously the Deinucratic candidate for iho Presi dency, has nlw.tys been a consistent opponent uf National and Western interests! a worthy doctor of the old Hunker Locofoco school, which regards every measure as eminently unconstitutional which is designed tudo tho country, or any portion thereof, the least practical beuelit. Scioto Gazette. PIERCE AGAINST RIVER AND HAH BOB IMPE0VE-. . MENTS. Tli is is no new announcement. Ever since bis nomiuaisou, it has bean known that Tierce, while iu Congress, uniformly voted against every appropriation for the benefit of the West. We defy his friends to point out an exception. Judge Johnson, at a locofoco ratification meeting, at Macon, Gn., said of Mr. Pif.hce.

Thut is tho kind of aid he extended lo Ohio, in his early days. Ohio will remember him for it, at the polls!

The Albany Atlas nnderiakes by a " few plain words" to set another journal " straight " about the Now Hampshire Test Act, and this is the fist it makes - of tt : " Tfie Constitution of New Hampshire was adopted in 17!2, and for forty years thereafter that State wns a Federal or Whig 8tate, and no attempt was made to change it. Within the last twenty years seven or eighl attempts have been madeio call a convention to change the Constitution the Democrats going fur and the Hiiiiis nfiainsi it." Jfrmnrfcj John Langdon. William Plummer, Sam uel Bell, and oilier Democrats, were Governors nf New Hampshire during about hall of the "forty years" instanced by tho Atlas, with LefiUUlnrea to match. New Hampshire voted (or 1 borons Jefivrann nnd Geo. Clinton at tho Presidential election of 181)4. and again in 18'JU. It was bandy rnrried against Madison by the most vehement exertions. And ihroughotti the last twenty years what ia called " Democracy " has controlled every department of its government with scarcely an oxcoption, and could havo called a Uon-ventinn whenever it t hose, and adopted any amendments it saw fit. TrtAttue. PATRIOTIC SENTIMENTS. Tho New Yolk Commercial Advertiser has been ono of the most consistent and decided supporters of Mr. Webster for the Presidency. But, with that regard fur the rights and opinions of others which is highly honorable, it cheerfully acquiesces in the nomination of Gen. Scott. Indeed, (here is not a Whig paper in New York that does not acquiesce, and fully sustain the nomination. But, there are men ia Wall street who have taken such nn active personal part, and have said and done so much for Mr. Webster, (hat they cannot, at once, come bark lo their trne position in the Whig ranks. These men have written some articles complaining uf tho nomination, uud have suggested that the friends nf Mr. Webster felt disposed to bring him out as an independent candidate, Of course Mr. Wehsier would never, for a moment, consent to any such arrangement ; but the Cottrtrr and Enquirer, though protesting against the purpose, has seen fit tu publish some of the grumblers communications. These have been copied into all the Locofoco papers of llie Union, as conclusive evidence of a deep sealed disaffection in the Whig ranks. This is not true, as every intelligent Lotufoco must know. But it serves the puqmse uf diverting attention, for a time. Now, we protest against (he publication uf any such communications, in Whig papers. It cau only afford temporary "aid nnd comfort" to the enemy. It is based upon no principle, ami is only a mere choice uf men. The New York Commercial Advertiser has an able article ou this subject. It rebukes the Enquirer for publishing those articles. We commend the fob lowing paragraph to the attention of W higs, everywhere. It is eminently patriotic, and should beheld in lasting remembrance: So then thu question cornea hack to this, which is really the vital point, are the Whig party and Whig principles worth sustaining f If in our judgment they are not if we deem our individual choice fur a W hig President a mattei of more moment than the maintenance t Whig principles and the Whig party why then let every Whig (tress and every Whig voter spend strength nnd time in promoting, supremely, and only, his personal views and preferences, and thus make a perpetual end of nil party organization and pnrty success. But if tbero be anything iu our principles and organization that is worib preserving and periwtuatiug if polities aro with ua principles, and there beany power in nsociuiion if we havo any practicnl respect lor the great cardinal doctrine that majorities must govern i! we nro prepared to ndmit the possibility that individually we may err in our judgment if w would bo consistent with ourselves nnd admit that those whom we select as a court of last resort are competent to their ollice in a won), if we love the big cause more than personal gratification, let us nil fori; el our disappointment, and iu good fiilh labor ourselves to promote tlie oleciioii uf ifm Whin candidal. and ceat.e nipplyinj our opponents with opportunities lor qmiiing us as ibeir authority for declaring tho Whig nomination us unpalatable lo tho Whig party. Faran, of tho Cincinnati AiUjuirrr, stiys in his letter tu Day and Friis, "you well know (hat Ohio is to be the main battle ground nf the Presidential contest." This is nn nd minion that thorn are at least doubts in tho minds of Iho Democrats of their success in this State. The Providence Journal sucrjvsis tho propriety nf holding a grand mass meeting of the ftiends of General Scott, at Bunker Hill, on the Ulh of September next the anniversary of Scott's tutry Into the city of Mexico.
