| PttseA' worthy CnleI magistrate, even
that of Andrew the First, with the fore
shadow and coming ofthe true zegiti-
mate, Martin the Second.
l exceedingly regret fellow citizens,
that in contest like the present IN
vofuing great national questions, it
should be necessary to make any allu-
sion to the personal character of my
vUmPrtf'ur; Du. ~ E.v~a ~r~.. ~,
by an attack upon my own, and have
done it with as sparing hand as
truth, and the nature of the case would
admit of. To do MIR. Lyle justice,
however, ! grant that he is my superi>
OF in some things, but 1 claim that
am not his inferior in other. He has
had more liberal education and better
opportunities for information than |
have and his talents are of more bril-
liant and shining order than mine. But
think | have proven on former oc-
casion, that call is not gold that gilt
ters." He makes splendid speech
against the monster, and splendid
speech in favor of the abuses and cor
ruptions Of the post Office department
he is hor ror strickent at the factthat
the Bank has loaned few thousand
dollars to certain printers but he amt
frightened at all at the thousands and
tens Of thousands squandered by the
post office department for electioneer-
ing purposss-he is equally splendid
right or wrong. | do not say that
could make speech for or against Ell
Their but would vote to reform them
both. He came home with splendid
notions Of the reelection to Congress,
and to dazzle the eyes and bewiIder the
people, he mounted upon the splendid
hobby called eoLDIBus, and l, to break
the charm and set them right again,
mounted upon GILDlBUs-the delusion
Immediately disappeared, Sand they
sao as clear as ever."
lie made splendid declarations, du-
ring the canvass, Of patriotism, and said
ne would abide the result of the cleo
ton, and be governed By will cf
tauons tailed, and he would not stand
it-he takes the pouts, and to spite the
people beyond measure, resigns his
Office for the remainder of his term
Who has not seen spoiled child get
mad at his, mother, and throw away its
piece of pie because she would not give
him whole one, and then cry to get it
again-so with Mr.. Lyle, he now
wants his Office again. He should have
thought ofthis before, and not have let
his splendor eclipse his judgment. But
he threw away his Office as unworthy
of him, and sent, | suppose, his title,
and somewhat Of his dignity, along
with it. Ifso, the case, as I take tits
materially altered, and now stands
Legitimately, Bob against Wash, and
Wash against Bob. So clear the course
boys--Fair play and no tricks, and we
shall soon learn whether MECHANIC
is to be despised because he is such,
and considered unworthy to be COM
petitor of the sGifted but no grum>
bling, THE PEOPLE HAVE TO PAY THE
cosT-and ALPS we'll that ends well.

N. B. could have made much more
SPLENDID address, had accepted of prof.
fered assistance, but said no. Let eve
ry tub stand upon its own bottom L
die not wish to sail under false colors, or
to take upon myself the plumage or deco
rations of other men; SO sat down and
wrote Vt outJust as you see it published !;
but. not being used to the business, h
confess it put me up to all | knew.

"The price Of liberty is eternal vigi-
lance" This truth, SO often repeated,
never deserved to be more warmly
urged than atihe present time. The
nation is now reposing from the tolls OF
party strife, but its repose should not
be lethargic.
