.HENRY A. WlsE.- This .crack-brained,
vulgar, and miserable dernagogue, is again
sat his dirty work. Atthe comme ncement
of the last session, the opposition made him
their bully, and sent him barking at every bet
|terman than himself. Before the close, how
ever, his vulgarity, and utter restitution Of Ia
lent and tact, sunk him SO low, that his party
disowned him, and every decent man in the
country either pitied or despised him. The
lesson, it seems, has been forgotten, and some
of the opposition are endorsing his low with
lcisms and vulgar slang. His late speech on
the ssexecutive department" is below criti-
lcism---as devoid Of talent as of decehcv, and
will gain for it's author the contempt Of every
cultivated and ingenious mind. In this posi-
ton we are SUSTAINED, not only by the speech
itself. but by the opinions. Of some ofthe wdig

And the Boston Herald, (another wing pa

His attack onthe President during the present

In his attacks on the eminent patriot and
statesman at the head of the government, Mr..
Wise is impetuous, rash, insolent, and vain.
In some parts Of his speech he reminds us of
the iactious individual described in the Iliad:
- --ssoo.n II veX the state,
VITA w.angling talents fornd fOc foul debate.

In scandal basy, i'll ieproa:has bold.''
In other parts we think of character drawn
by the bard Of Avon: ssGratiano speaks an in

grains of wheat hid in bushel Of chaff; you

you have them, they are not worth the search. !"
