THE LEXINGTON UNIoN-This chaste, can
did and elegant periodical remarkable alike for
its philosophy, liberality and justice, has in
its last number honored us with more than
column OF its lucubrations, which it inf1icts
upon its readers as editorial, with the fond
hope no doubt, that it will prove highly inter-
esting. We are really somewhat at a loss to
determine in what vein to reply to it. 1t is
so very ludicrous that we are tempted to laugh
at the awkward efforts of its editor to vindi-
cate himself, and at another moment we are
almost disposed to be serious when we run
over its coarse illusions and consummate vul-
garity. And really were it not for the amuse-
ment of seeing him founder OH from, nonsense
to absurdity, we could not descend to hold
controversy with a man, who in the capacity
of public journalist, had hoisted the Black
Flag as his banner, with National dishonor
as his motto inscribed upon its folds. But the
temptation is too great, and we will cen toll
crate his windy and scurrilous diatribes for the
qualification of witnessing an exhibition of
stupidity and folly SO ridiculous as to provoke
laughter In spite of ones commseration. One
cannot but smile at, while he despises the fro
thy venom of thing whose malice is equaled
only by It's impotence. In the article before
us we have compendium of almost all the
flowers of rhetoric. Tropes, metaphors, fig
ures and SMILES, antithesis and climax are
grouped together in the most delectable con-
fusion. Never before, have we seen such mag
nifcent specimens of belles-lettreS as are inter-
spersed with apparent carelessness throughout
the article. "Like orient pearls at random
strung" they loom before us in all the haunt-
ing gorgeousness of eastern bombast Per-
nit US gentle reader to transfer to our pages,
for your especial edifcation and admiration,
some few of the numerous gems that adorn
while they dignity his subject. First, is the
following: ''his splenetc outpouring of party
vlrulence OF two months accumulation"-that,
now, all must admit TO be tasty and elegant
there is such euphonious jingling of musical
terms, that one is impressed with the very
spirit of Harmony. Again, he says: "The
hotspur who attempts through this miserable
otto al;
remarkable for its originalay-there is moth
/ ing hackneyed or trite in it--and we can only
gaze in profound establishment at the fertile in
vention of its author. Again: swallowing
in the filth Of party rancour"--this throws all
its antecedents entirely in the shade, and pre-
sents such combination of poetic beauties as
to force the bewildered eye to seek some less
lustrous object on which to relieve its dazzled
vision. Again: "serf of party'--this is a
beautiful specimen of concentrated imagery,
and from the purity and chastity of the express
sion is derived the highest evidence that the
editor of the Lexington Union'' has studied
Blair, kames, Quintiian and Longinus to some
purpose. Again: "Here we behold the fsoDn-
ang system rearing its brazen and contempt
bic crest" This is truly grandloquent pas
sage, and the editor waxing at once enthusiast
tic and hungry in his inspiration; scars TO the
very sublimity of the mysterious and unntel-
+ligible. The writer then proceeds in strain
Of exquisite humor, and with all the gravity of
seriousness INDUCES in one of the most caustic
sarcasms upon himself that it has ever been
