DEAR SIN: have this moment closed the reading
Of the Report which Mr. Rives wrung from the
Executive Department, on The great OF The
Executive with the Tepudiaied, divorced ld'Dowa-
ger Is Il moi most monstrous1 The favorie SON
the immaculate Martin five months in close connu-
bal. clandestine coyerture with The great divorced
hated, odious monster. Ay, The man who, for ten
long years, daily and nightly in and out Of
season, proclaimed uncompromisng war upon the
great Levialhan whose monopolizing nav swallow
ed up our liberes-our money-our every thing
good-and whose prolific pesiferous womb, poured
over the fair face Of our land seas of lava and
motion corruption, sending up to the very nosrils Of
Executive greatness, naught but political and moral
stencil Ay, wedded-marred-Gve months in
covert, clandesue sheets.-O, monsrous.-Ay, and
during the very period too that TO all The FAITHFUL,
the monster was taboocd, and all her EMESArIoNs
iabooed, as the very of political poson-the
Buhon-upas to all the pariy-at the very time when
not or child from the great Venus down 10 the
poor Loco-loafer of the Five Points dare, for our
lives, touch, count even name, GU. s. b. except
coupled with the blacklist epithes. Ay at this very
time, our great Loco -foco head Is FIVE months in
close clandes,ine wedock with the monster; in ac-
tual FIVE months pecuniary bliss and fruition-all
hail welded love!!l And so kind, SO generous, so
patriotic, " she MAKES the medicine and applies"
She combines all capacities; wife, spouse, mother,
nurse and 10 no less than seventeen sore afflicted
points, she applies the healing balm
Well, The Secrelary's reasons and history Of the
matter make all seem iair and, in fact absolutely
necessary; and Of all things, so accommodating,
obgng, loving is the union, that but for The prior
maligniy of the parties and "the bloody distance in
which they Stood" one can scarcely say ought but
narpel! ponder!! prodigiousH! But some there be,
who do repine; some among the faithful do whisper
soft murmurings, thus: "Why, during the FIVE
months of bliSslul honey moon to our great little
chiefl why we're we instructed at the same period,
at every meeting and corner, by resolution and ora
ton, and song and press why were we instructed
to declare DIVORCE louder, and wider, and deeper
Why, during the Empire election, when the monster
had been more than two months taken to the bosom,
the counsel and bed of our favorile SOM Why did
he his oraces from the greatest 10 the least to
teach us still to cry many millions Of times splitting
our poor Loco-foco threats, down with the monster
down with the corrupng, hidious monster-down
with Biddle-down with the British monster-down
with the bribing, corrupng, expressing barons and
bank despots" Well, we don't just exactly compre-
bend the policy of our chief in all this BUT WE
KNOW IT WAS FOR THE GOOD OF THE PARTY.
Seriously, not the memory of man nor the history
of the world, can exhibit weakness, wickedness, du
pliciiy equal TO this. Some object, interest some
great end or purpose is visible in the movements
Of all men, Even in their deepest games Of policy or
duplicity, you will discover some great or distant
aim, and you will in the counsel of the most des
perate and ruthless, some signs of fear, shame, re-
morse; but here in this man and his course, we see
nothing but aimless passioness, unmeanng, heed
less ruleess MOBILITY. And even this apparent MO-
DILITY, begin to think is from extraneous prompt
ings doubt if he is self moved begin to fear
there is nothing neither good nor evil in The favo
rite son." Yours, truly.
