Alexandria Gazette

A LOCO PROCESSION—composed mostly of youths from Washington, came off on Monday night, which extended about a square, embracing some twenty plain transparencies, making quite a pretty appearance, upon none of which, however, as had been predicted, was there any sentence or device, indicating an affirmative leading principle, and none that could have been deemed exceptionable, while many of them would have been as appropriate in a Whig procession; such as "Equal rights," "Our country right or wrong," "The cause of Democracy is onward," "No Bank influence in Elections," "First gun from Louisiana," "Take your seat in the Presidential Chair," (Mr. Clay it should have been) "Measures not men," (as exemplified in Loco Convention,) while Tariff, Distribution, or Sub-Treasury was "not so much as named amongst them." The procession formed at 8 o'clock, and kept up a continued march until about 11 o'clock, excepting an interval for refreshments, and another for a speech, essayed to be made to the crowd by a Loco Orator. The procession was occasionally cheered, and so far as I saw or know wended its way without disturbance.
