with the business of the session with some
expedition. In the House on the 31st Dec.
4 bill to repeal the law in relation to wolf
scalps was discussed at much length. and not
much profit. The bill provides that the
County Court may at its discretion, allow a

The minimuS of the Republican in the
whirlwind of his wrath produced by the ex-
pulSion OF his man Friday. from the bar of
the House of Representatives. vents 4 por-
ton of his spleen upon one of the represen-
tativcS from this county in i style character
istic of the course of that print. Mr.. Civ
ems was the mover of the resolution for ex-
pelling Mr. Green. the Reporter of the Re-
publican, and for doing this. he is denounced
by this pink Of decency and model of refine
ment. as $50 supremacy ignorant and withaI
so higotcd 4 p~artizan that he can be used rs
4 tool by any party leader" with other re-
Elections no less abusive. Mr.. G.. needs not
our defence from the assaults of this man
"Whose ISLANDERS
Ride on the posting winds and belle all corners Of
the World"
No man stands higher among both friends
and iocS-no one enjoys Il more enviable re-
putation where he is best known-and there
is no one whose calumnies would he more
unhecded by him than those of the Republi-
can. Nothing could indicate more certainly
the cOnsummatc assurance and abandoned
reckleSsncss of the Republican than its
course in relation TO the expulsion of his re-
porter. While he appeals in the most eio-
qHeRt and pathetic strains to the press of the
dominant party of the State To condemn this
fragrant outrage upon the freedom of the
press, and no longer sustain 4 party capable
of committing such high handed acts-the
same sheet is overlooking with the coarsest
personalities, and the most vulgar abuse of
no less than three of the men whom the de-
mocratic party have honored with seats in
the Legislature. DIR. Rcdman is at all timesa
target for one of his arrows. Mr.. Wells and
Mr.. GivenS come in for their share of detrac-
ton, and Mr.. AShby is dealt with in a vein
of low blackguardism peculiar to this print.
What opinion has this man formed Of his
own Importance, and what idea can he have
of the press of the dominant party!

WHEN Is THE MONEY CoMNG?--lt is fresh
in the recollection of all that the wings pro-
missed the speedy advent of shelter times
and 'plenty of money!" as soon as Old lip
was elected. Senator Preston is reported to
have said in one Of his political %harrangues du-
ring the late canvass, that the bare annuncia-
ton of the election of Harrison, would be
worth a hundred millions of dollars 10 the
American people. This was the cry from
one extreme of the Union to the other, and
re-echoed by every hard ciderite from the
commander-in-chief 10 the lowest corporal in
the ranks. We were n"omised better times.
plenty Of money, hisi. = prices 70. produce.
and higher wages for labor; we were told
that business would revive-commerce would
flourish, and all departments of trade would
receive 4 fresh impulse. if the present admin
istration could be defeated. Well-the old
man is certainly elected. and every man, wo-
man and child. in the Union knows it; but
the iulf!menr OF the prophecies of the wings
we have vet To see. Does the farIner re-
ceIvc more for his corn or pork? does the ID
bOreT get more for his labor-the manufactu-
rer more for his wares. than he did before the
election! Is there more confidence among
business men row than there was! Is mo-
ney more plenty. or the times less hGrd than
they were last spring or summer! The poll
cy is now. however, TO deny outright that
any one ever promised Il better condition of
things. or that any one ever expected it by
this time. WelI-when shall we look for the
money! Snail we have it when the Old man

sentiments among the people, it holds out an
example of vice and dishonesty.

The Spirit Of the Age the truth Of its arii-
Gle noticed ia the Herald las, week relative 10 the
foolish remsrks reported in the Washington Globe TO
have been made by Gen. Harrison In his last moments
about removals from office. The principal difficulty
IN the way OF argument is that the Age quotes the
statements Of the Globe with mplicl, reliance on
their truih--a position which by means
| yield for without reference party luminosity the
fact that the Globe is adverse politics, any
any thing else than plain matier of fact,
the Age that believe the Globe tcH he and that it
is regular department OF its business TO manufacture
and put into the mouth OF some great such state
mens were never thought Of by the persons charg
ed, for the very purpose of having them picked up by
the litile lame, country loco presses wonderful
smart thing in order TO prejudice the minds Of the less
informed Wing voters against their candidates. We
dare the Age to make an unqualified denial of the same
opinion 1t is too evidently true and Mr. Eas tman is
somewhat famous for sort OF cunning, low -geared
wit and we hazard the opinion that he will not stake
his celebrity such denial.
BY the way taking all that is said to be true, don't
you think, friend Eastman,he Wings have got job of
narrow lodging before them to escape the thunderbos
oil Unlicensed heaven for having elected Gen Harrison TO
the presidency and sending Mr. Ogle TO Congress. The
locos say good president called 10 his
because the wings made "log cabin and hard cider"
sort OF political watchword. The celestial ndict
men did not see, and don't know whether the coon
skins were mentioned not. The Vermont Tele- |
graph thinks because he did not come out more
to It's liking against slavery. Not with destroy
ing the man. these wrathy little deities must even brush
away every vesge of his having had an existence
by destroying the steam ship President which was
named in honor of him. Mr.. Ogle, Uhe Age hin,s)
was taken away because he told the people how like
sixty Mr. Van Buren, spent the peoples money for gold
Knives forks and spoons, foreign gew-gaws &c when
unluckily all its pious meditaons kicked overly
the fact that Mr.. Oge died of lingering consumption
and had the fatal disease upon him long before he pro-
voked the gods to vengeance by exposing Van Burens
matchless prodigality.
On such miserable, trashy slurs and ridiculous in.
ierences from circumstances do the loco presses en-
deavor TO satisfy the Unsuitable thirst of the defeated
party with something tina, will answer the place of RE-
