Mr.. Thomas Allen came that way smoking lone
nine, and weeping as be sighed over the sorrows
Of Weter The events of the day brought there
eongenial spirits in contact; they kissed and
f embraced, and told their tales
TO the high heavens and every listening planet. -
By reference to the llOth page of the Chronicles
ofCannongate of Washington, it appears that
Allen SAID 10 Garland, now that am disap-
pointed, sorowing youth, am determined to be
re-irengcd. Rerenge is the attribute of the
Gods as the man says in the playhouse, and
by the Gods III have it. I'll be re@engel and
establish newspaper, and call il the "Madiso-
MAN"
"Them's my sentiments said Garland "go
ahead my boy-l and master Billy Rives will
back ye; go it my pipkn, and we'll soon row
Mr.. Van Buren, sup salt river" in leaky dug
out.
In the course Of day or two, proposals for
publishing the immortal "Madisonann were pub
lished, and the annunciation of the fact produced
"great agony" among the CONSERVATIVES" p
They gave out in shy mtmations that the lad
Thomas Allen had been selected by Mr.. Van
Buren, as the legitimate organ of his views, wishes
and opinions; and openly stated that the "Globe"
newspaper was TO be cast into "outer darkness.n
They further stated that vast sums of money had
been contributed to sustain the daily publication
Of the the Madsonian, and that new order of
things was to take place in IsroaI.
When all these important facts were announc-
ed the immortal wings of the union reioced, and
IN the midst of their graulations, subscribed for
the Madsonan very literally, to the total neg
lect OF Gales 4 Seaton, under The belief and ex-
pectaton that they would row up the "Globe"
newspaper, and convert Francis P. Blair into |
string of Cuba Sausages. The Madisonan was
to be the terror Of the world, and the great purifi-
er ofal abuses.
The paper at last saw the light, and the wings
soon saw that they were to be bamboozled out
OF their money, for although it was opposed to
the leading principles of the democracy, il was
not the organ of the President, nor did the Adj
design it should hold any such rea-
ION. II was in all things opposed to wing doc
rlnes' and whilst il warred against their avonte
PROJECT, National Bank, il was in fact, and in.
deed, wretched humbug, imposed ON their Gre
dulitv by misrepresentation and falsehood.
The "Madisonan" was advanced to the nuh.
lie as the organ Of tho "Conservatives,n and lust
such an organ can any day be picked up in the
streets among the rank of those scientific yaoa.
bonds who grind music to the accompaniment of
the antics OF dandy clad monkey
The special session of Congress at lena,h
commenced, and rs Mr.. james Garland If V;r.
ginla, and master Billy Rves, found it necessary |
to get hold ola portion Of the public purse to |
sustain the Madsonian, they put the lad Thomas
Allen on the trial, candidate for the Office of
Public Printer. The Administration nominated
BLAIR Il Rives, the wings put up the name Gales
\ Seaton, and the "Consevatives" or Egyptian
mumnmies as they might be more appropriately
called, hung Thomas Allen on the 'outer walls" |
Blair & Rives mustered lot votes, Gales s. |
Seaton, OF the wings could count lo4, aad the
Egyptian mummes started %. They held |
"mldde ground" and no election could be effect
Cd. In this state of the game, tho l04 wings,
acting on that prcdominang principle that has
always distinguished them, and rendered them
all PoreJd and able, yielded the contest; and,
out Of their seven senses, went over to

Thomas Allen Printer, and, thus roted The n,uta-
mtes money 10 sustain Press TO adrocaie prin-
ctpte and doctrines which are ratsbane and keb-
emo" 10 all The hopes q whiggeryi From that
day to this, the Madsonian has very justly and
properly accused the wings Of cowardlce and
hoachery to their own principles by beng thus
Oamboozled. But this was not the most of it.
lhe wings not only lost the prospect Of gaining
helr printer by the operation but they previously
ost the chance of gaining Speaker; for such
