WHO WROTE aoUoDLIBET q"

Those Of readers who have not met with this
highly entertaining and instructive volume will thank
us for the extracts from il which publish to-day
We commend the whole work 10 them. Satire and
humor perform, in it, their most dignied Office of sup
porting the Of Justice and Truth and impress
ing the soundest lessons Of political wisdom
We have been often asked "Who wrote Quodlibetq"
Many guesses and many confident assertions have
been made with knowing air respecting the author
ship But since we have read the book we have never
been puzzled about reply to the question. With
out pretending to be wiser than neighbors, We
may yet express undoubting belefthat the author
Of Quodlibet" is John r. Kennedy of Baltimore
We have not room now to state all the grounds for
| this assurance, contained in the work itself But
those who are intimate with Mr.. Kennedy can scarce
ly fail to recognize him in many Of the pages; and
those who familiar with his speeches in Congress,
may easily trace his views and thoughts and feelings,
respecting the and measures of the Administra-
ton, in many passage Of this curious book.
We here see reproduced, with dramatic power Of
illustration, many topics of his memorable speech on
the General Appropriation Bill, delivered February
18TH 1889 that the GUARDIANS Of the Treasury have
been asleep-that felones unmatched in amount have
been detected in the nncrmos shrines Of the temple
the very priests having robbed the altarthe nation
just relieved from debt creating anotherthe fnan-
ces embarrassed-the short of the expenditure
the hard money Government converted into paper
issuing Goyernment-the rulers of the land at their
wits end all around, the signs of their doom and
judgment. The warnings Of their downfall abroad
The President and his party incompetent to the crisis
An easy INDECENT and luxurious chief presiding over
cabinet which is personation Of feebleness.
Kendall the link between the past Administration and
the present--the conduit pipe by which the surplus
popularity of the one, hoped, would be trans
ferred into the lraning insulation of the other The
whole cabinet array of impracticable skless tempo
rizng expedent- mongering statesmen, who now, with
their guardian genius, sink together and be
membered more!
But must stop fol the present. We put it down
as our conviction, that John P. Kennedy author OF
"Swallow Barn." Horseshoe Robinson" &C., and
late representative in Congress from Baltimore the
author Of "QuoDLBEr."

THE NO PRINCIPLE PARTY-AND


VIVA, must be the reflections of the base pan
ders Of POWER at the sophistical arguments with
which they have sustained in the Councils Of the
Nation, in the assemblies Of the people, and in
the public press, the usurpations OF the Execu-
tive How would they relish the practical
operation. during the four years succeeding the
Fourth Of March next, of their favorite doctrine
| that "THE PRESIDENT IS THE SOLE DIRECT REPRE-
SENTATIVE OF THE AMERICAN PEoPLEW How
would they like the practical operation, during
the same period, of the equally ant-republican,
and anti-constitutional, and peculiarly anti
the nature of his Office is the defender of the in
tegrily Of the Constitution, against the represen-
tatives of the people, and the representatives Of
the Statesn
And how would they like the practical execu-
ton Of their dogma that "all persons appointed
to Offices created by law are the Presidents
agents--responsibi 10 him alone-and remova-
BILE at his pleasure"
| How would they like the next President TO
WELD THE POWER OF THE NATION, unchecked by
the Constitution, and pronounce the NATIONS
WILL, as he chooses to understand il, without
any one to gainsay him2
Suppose, in short, that the poisoned chalce Of
which these miserable tools and sophisters have
made their opponents drink, should now be com
mended TO their own lips. They might exclaim
with WORDSWORTH
| "Oh the difference to met"
But they could not add with one of Shakespeare

SUSPECTED FRAUDS IN VIRGINIA

SUSPECTED FRAUDS IN VIRGINIA.
The counties of Rockingham and Shenan-
doah, in Virginia. have each given Federal
loco-toco majority larger than the whole vote
Of those counties respectively in 1886. The
Federal Loco-foco vote and majority are also
largely increased in Chesterfield
In the first two counties il is believed that a
large number Of votes were manufactured, by
granting deeds Of property until after election,
and in Chesterfield, il is alleged, that all who
presented themselves to the Loco-foco Commits
slonrrs were allowed to vote. 1t is understood
that the poll Of Chesterfield has been purged of
lsspurlous votes only.
Suppose the electoral vote of the State Of Vir-
glnIa shall be given to Martin Van Buren, by a
very small majority, and that it shall appear that
more illegal votes were given than the entire
majority amounts TO, what remedy is there for
such fraud and outrage against the sovereignty
y the people? We know but one alternative,
w submission or revolution. That villany
has been practised by the Federal Loco focos in
rginla, we have not particle OF doubt. We
lad heard months ago that they had given out
~ Tins city that arrangements had been made
which would give them the State. This plan

sured, was concocted in this city, and counties

THE HERO OF TIPPEcANoE
touchdown, Derry Down"
Remember the Hero Of Tippecanoe;
His country of savage invaders he freed
A victorious foe he with speed overthrow,
And envy alone his career could impede.
Up, up, up with him, up.
She denied us a hero our foes TO repel,
And the blessings Of freedom and peace to defend
And whom did she give us Itgrieves us to tell,
An ungenerous tyrant; foe TO his land
Down, down, down with him down,
And shall we gnoby submit to his reign
He who by his vaor has esteem,
BY his virtue may rid us Of tyranny's MAN,
And his land from its deep degradation redeem.
Up, up, up with him, up.
We who your deliverer have banshed so lsng,
No farther the price Of your country debate
Resolve not the rich shall decide, but the strong,
Restore him and rescue your land from its fate,
Up, up, up with him up.

Most heartily de we congratulate our friends
throughout the country, and the friends of
Republican institutions throughout the world
upon this glorious result. Most grateful do we
feel to the Benefcent Being who guides the des
times Of nations, for having rescued us from the
disastrous consequences of misrule, and for hav-
Ing averted the woful calamities that threatened
toiolluw the continuance of unworthy men at the
head Of the affairs of this people. The grieved
spirit Of Liberty returns TO bless us. The down
ward tendency of affairs is arrested-a virtuous
people have peaceably redressed their own
wrongs, indicated their own history, and their
own institutions. Official audacity stands re-
buked, and Executive power, terribly as il has
struggled, is checked in its unmeasured strides.
A spirit from the inmost sanctuary OF Freedom,
has been awakened from its slumber, and has
come forth mighty to retrieve-to renovate and
restore the energies of the Republic-to rebuild
the temples of Liberty, and to re-enkindle the
hres upon the affairs of Patriotism
Long life to the Republic Let no one here
after despair The American people appreciate
the value Of the treasures they possess-nor will
The world assurance that they are still capable
ofseIf-government, and determined to perpetuate
its blessings.
