 hawthorn to a Newtown Pippin. Loco FOco- ism ls wild uncultivated scion, engrafted upon once pure stock at the root, by which Ooth stock and branch have become ulnatu- rally vicious. The root sends up no more s6oots of the original growth and the fruit or the tree IS so depraved, that it could not be supposed to be nOurished by juices from wholesome sources,

 Loco Focoism is schismatic in its origin ana tendency. It tpretends to more wisdom ana virtue than was ever incorporated into the original belief. Your Loco Foco is a Pharisee, who contemptuously bids the f;ath- CTS or the church, " stand by fOr Gm hOlier thG" thO" l" It is a fanaticism, which disco Vers new meanings in the book of faith, inter- poiates spurious passages into the common text' and regards the old professors with more deadly animosity than the heathenish ldolator. It is animated by the spirit of per- secutlon and intolerance, and wastes its ener- gles by blind fury which makes no com. promise with circumstances, and Q heated zeal which consumes itself without difflsing | its warmth to others.

 Loco Focoism is the false light of an exha- 1 latlon. Follow it and you are led into quag- | mires and morasSes. It hovers over hideous wastes and desolate places. Ifyou approach II, It eludes your grasp. It is never seen within the bounds of cultivation, but the poor Dorderer, the unfortunate outcast of society, who solitary and alone" inhabits an outpost on the confines of civilized society, is the fre- quent witness of it's baleful illumination, and regards t with superstitious awe.

 | Loco Focoism is of Gothic and Vandalic descent. It holds the conveniences and com- forts of life in contempt. Its rude hands are exercised m pulling down and overturning l what 1t can never build up or establish. It dlsdalns the arts of peace, and delights in the ravages of war. Issuing from wild haunts, and accustomed to extreme privation it cannot appreciate the institutions which learning, industry and commerce have rear- ed, but ignorantly levels palaces, temples, academies, villas, triumphal arches, columns and monuments with the dust.

 1 Procrustes was the first Loco Foco. He possessed an iron-bedstead upon which he stretched his victims, and whenever their limbs exceeded its length, they were hewn of to the required standard, and if they fell short, they were heightened by the screw and pulley to the prescribed dimensions.

 Loco Focoism labors to equalize the condi. tion of all mankind by levelling every thing downward. Because some men are poor, 1t seeks to make all poor alike. Because some are vicious, it would take away the reward of virtue. Because some men are ignorant and depraved, it would confound the distinc- tlons of knowledge and rectitude. Because some men prefer idleness and cold neat it would discountenance industry, soup and warm bread. Because all men cannot wear gold watches, there should be none nanufac. iured but of pinchbeck. Because all men cannot get their notes discounted at the Bank, there should be no Banks. Because some men never have much money, none should have more than the rest. Because railroads, transporting passengers at three cents a mile, are such odious monopolies, people ought to travel in post coaches and pay six.

 Loco Focoism is a disorganizing and re- volutionary" spirit. It is never contented with the existing state of things. It is con- stantly fomenting anarchy and breeding dis cord. It is reckless innovator, and for the love of change is ever varying its purpose and pursuits. The machine that was erected yesterday and operated to admiration today, IS battered down tomorrow, 10 make room for some new experiment. It is the deadly foe of order, harmony and system. If it could control the planets, it would set them all running in cometary orbits. It would impart to water the double property of rum ming up hill as we'll as down. In cold wea- ther 1t is in favor of hot, and in summer it sighs for the blasts of winter. Its motto is-- Man neyer is, but Glacays e 6e Ilsst" " Let WSll eIsOuSu diOucs 1Sa uStSSth1AS b<uliuAeHts in it's opinion. It pants for novelty, and though it conducts the government and peo- pie from bad to worse. it pretends that the specie of variety gives fresh flavor to every succeeding perturbation,

 l Loco Focoism is theorising agent. It re. jec;s the results of experience, and leans upon the fine spun sophistries of the imagina- tion. It is a firm believer in the dreams of poets and enthusiasts, and reads old roman- ces for veritable history. Its great men are projectors and inventors. It is persuaded of the fact of Capt. Symmes' hole and the Fl Dorado. It believes in the transmutation of metals by the philosophers stone, and holds that gold may be made as plenty as iron. It credits the story of the man in the moon. and thinks that the art of ballooning will eventu- ally be carried so high, as to afford the means of communication with that luminaFy.

 In short, Loco Focoism iS an odd fish, and whoever trusts himself to the sea of politics upon the Triton's back, will soon find himself | laundering among the rocks and shadows, or resting upon the soft ooze at the bottom. From Me Bahimore America1.

 GREAT SURGICAL OPERATION.

 The following account of the most formi. dable operation of AnaputatiOr effke LOicer iatc b3re at as jOi,u," successfully performed in this city by Professor Baxley, of the Uni versity of Maryland, has been handed to us by medical gentleman who was present on the occasion, and upon whose accuracy of description we can confidently rely. While we rejoice to learn that the occasions for such an operation are rare, we are also gratified to find that we possess the skill adequate to the undertaking when the duty is required:
