Elegant Extracts.


We intend occasionally to publish, from the party
papers Of both sides, choice beautiful and frag.
rant extract, by way Of illustrating the decencv Of
the political press. We begin today with the Globe,
Mr.. Van Burcn's chosen organ, and, from mass OF
similar evidences good taste and purity Of thought,
select the following specimen:
From the Wash .ngton Globe.l
"FKSxRAL HosrsTY.-There 10 not a decent
whig no does not in private express unme sured
Of that dirtiest Of all federal TOOLS Oats Yet they
zeaoasly assist in spreading the ordure Of this de-
graded creature throughout tho country, and exult
in the hope that the people are groveing enough to
be moved by his miserable ISLANDERS"
The above is an editorial article and as this paper
is under the direct supervision Of the cabinet and
conducted in part by Amos Kendall it must be sup
posed of course conform to the taste Of the adj
ministration. Exquisite gentlemen We hope per-
fumery is abundant at Washington.
The subjoined extract 10 from the National Intel
ligencer, the most able, dign6ed, and gentlemanly
whig paper in the country. The extract d. take.
from communication, but we are surprised at its
appearance in the Intelligeneer, nevertheless. II
sHly shows the debas.g influence Of party associa-
ton. The ferocity Of the political press is actually
frightful as its coarseness and indecency are re-
voting. We have ne expectation that these exhibi.
tons Of brutality and malignity will shame their
rabid authors into reputable course Of con.
duct; but we do expect that every man, who is not
30 MIXED up with one or other Of the parties to be
unable TO di,oern what is right and proper, will
place upon them the stamp Of his disapprobation.
