 The Editor ofthe Van Buren paper in shawneetown says, that he sshad rather ask questions than answer them.n We thoupht as much. There IS an old adage, that 'iools may ask questions, bu, il takes wise men to answer them..-Ib.
 Ne are sorry, that our friend Green, of the Paoli Ia.) Patriot, has avowed himself for Van Buren and Johnson. We feel an interest in the young man, and are certain, that he IS the victim of crafty managers. Ills feelings are good and honest, but ho has not the intellect for their proper direc- ton, He reminds Us of French picture we eaee saw, intended .o represent good natured man. The figure's heart grew where it's head should grow, and it had no head at all.-lb.
 The Philadelphia Democratic Press. as incorporate Van Buren paper as there is III the United States. has yet too much con. science to conceal the weakness of it's can- didate ill Pennsylvania. That paper says: .Ne predict, that ONE HALF of tho Wolf voters of 1885 will vote the Anti Van Buren Ticket of 1886, even on the suppo- sition that every Wolf leader is appointed to an embassy." 1.-the Editor of the Press can always prophecy us correctly as ::i.ss :.ss, K, may make his living as soothsayer.-Ib.
 The N. H. Patriot says, that athe two divisions of the Democratic party in Penn- sylvanla, though present slightly apart, arc bound together by a common tie.' That they are. We once saw couple of huge tom-cats tied together by their tails and slung across pole. They too wero abound together by common iie,, yet most piteous were tho scratchings and the cater waulings.
 One of MT. Van Buren's organs in Penn sylvania complains bitterly, that the party managers Aextend particular favors to the very richest and the very poorest of the par ty. and pass by the middling class alsogesh- er." Well-haye they not right 10 do 50! Can't man like the head and iaii of a hog without liking the middling ?--B.
 Mr. Marshall, of the Cincinnati Buckeye, himself poet, facetiously charges us with manufacturing "kiss verses" As We have been guilty of no such peccadillo, we arc sorry to see our friend Marshall straining himselfto be witty upon tho subject. Next 10 kiss verses, .Wartial straias are our sr.- tipathy.-lb.
 There is an article in the Indiana Dem. ocrat. abusing Gen. Harrison, which we in- tend 10 notice at our leisure. We do not design to notice the Editor of that paper on his own recount, but, that we may, through him, demolish a few of his kindred Tories, who are no less noisy than himself. We mean to use him as l Iangaron was used in one of Rabelais' fables. Pantagruel took Langaron by the heels and used him as a weapon to kill twenty other robbers, and then flung him over wide river. killing two ducks and an old cat.--Ib.
 We were amused to learn, yesterday, that ia young friend of ours in New Orleans rec gently left his situation in an s9pothecarYs shop and joined the Texian expedition against the Mexicans, for the alledged rea- son, that he had se,uples about taking tAs liues 9 his telioao beings.--Ib.
 We have an editorial friend in Illinois. whom we are glad to see boasting of his good cheer. He says, that he has the finest spring of acater and the best old whiskey in the whole State. Well, friend--2ut ihas and that together.-Ib.
 Winchester VMginian says, that we tell lies upon the President and his Cabinet. We do them no such injustice. What is the use of iying about them when the people will not believe more than one half of tho t,uth?.--Ib.
 The Editor of the Buffalo Journal occa- sionally uses the caption-"LIEs OF THE GLOBE" Why does he not issue propo- sals for the work in 12 volumes folio ?-Ib-
 The Globe whimpers about MT. Van Bu- ren and lies about Gen. Harrison. The Editor. we believe, IS ut least consistent. He came whimpefing and lying into tho world and he will continue lying and whine pering us long as he remains in it.--lb.
 4 few weeks ago, some of the Van Bu- ren managers in Mississippi determined to get up barbecue for the purpose of giving their orators an opportunity for dispiay. Their great difficulty was in prevailing upon fl,a r,aopla fo aseornIlo o nd ftx;o At.ex 6nat-
