There has been a great meeting of the Locofocos in the Park, in New York. Mr. Moses Jaques is nominated as their candidate for mayor. They appeared in the Park with a variety of banners, among which was, with a little shrivelled, mean looking loaf of bread upon a pole, a banner, with this imprinted upon it: "As the currency is expanded the loaf is contracted." Equal rights, gold, silver, &c. were all over their other banners. Their orators denounced Tammany and paper money without stint. A great majority of the party is made up of laboring foreigners—Irish, German, English radicals, &c.; but there is, nevertheless, quite a sprinkling of Americans among them. They will poll a large vote next week.

Always, when the Loco-focos meet, there is great fear of a riot, but they dispersed peaceably that day. Their orators exhorted them so to do. Mr. Job Haskell denounced the calling out of the military the other day in harsh language. Mr. Ming said "riots were just what the aristocracy wanted." A Mr. Murphy said "There were now two kinds of robbers in the country—one, Whig robbers who robbed the People like men; and the other, Tammany Van Buren robbers, who robbed the People sneakingly."—Nat.
