OFFICE SEEKING.
Our readers will remember that imme:

end of the 'Union to the other, fiercely as
sailed- those whom business or curiosity
had drawn to the Federal , city. They were
denounced :te a " office seeliers, i '^" hmigry
partizans," " greedy cormorants," and a
hundred other equally polite epithets were
allt - djl to then]; Some of those who read
-the- hypocritical - wajlings of the Locofoces
at that time,. no doubt imagined that they
were sincere ; and that- not vone of them
would stoop So low as to become an appli
cant for office,abe it ever so honorable-or

Is a Loco Foco the Poor Man's Friend?
—W. e _have never-been one of flmse who
‘,-ould condescend to avail theMseliies of
the demagogue - cry of the "rich against the

classes in society;_Whose interests are far
from being opposed. We have looked upon
the efforts of the I,ocufoco party -to array
the pour of the country against the rich, as
agrarian. !lerougogtieical, and hypocritical.
The 'attempt has not even the merit 'of sin
cerity to palliate the injury which,. if suc

The:•Locuroce is riot the -poor man's friend,
and the ivhole history of LqatifOco Legis

agsertion. -
• Is it not fresh in the recollection of the
country, 'that one. of the arguments in favor
of the Sub-Treasury was, that it would re
duce the wages of labor, and thus enable
the manufactures of the United States, to
compete successfully with the manufactures
Of Europe?' ,liere• was an argument that
looked directly to the benefit'of the rich at
the expense of the poor'. One of the Wei
se& results of that long-cherished scheme,
was to bring down the wages of American
labor to the begge,rly level of- ptropean la

living on sixpence a-day, might "put -mo
