Locofoco party. The King cah do rio

dent can do no wrong, say the Democrats,

and see how close the
Locofoco democrats and' the Monarchists
approximate to e4ch other. Are you will

power, j In a worJ, are.you willing to ac
cord to the President the right to declare
War whenever it may jsuit his purposes,
when the Constitution, the great chart of
our liberties expressly gives that power to
Congress alone? S We know you are not.
Nor do wve believe you wiH tolerate such
conduct in the person of James :K. Polk.
Who is Mr. Polk jthat- e should arrogate
to himself more than any other President
we have had ? Qen. Jackson with all his
self-will, never, dared to do such a thing ;
all foreign goodsj (such as we i rhanufac-
ture) were excluded altogether, the prices
would not be higherthan they are now ;

we can buy now at any of our; own Fac

as that which we paid 10 and 15 cents for

sent Tariff yent into operation. Let any
of the British free-trade Locofocos deny
this if they can. These British free-traders
