| THE HUMBUGGER AGAIN.
| fridays Globe contains another paper mo-
ney party" article. Some of the heavings go be-
yond the usual style of the editor. 1t must be
the Great Missouri bull again, though the bel
lowing is not quite as harsh as it was before
The growl is somewhat suppressed, and deep.
| The humbugger persists in arraying himself
against the Administration the Admins
tration party the ''paper money party" and runs
| pel nell at the Government, with head down and
horns spread out. He says the Government is
dishonored and disgraced-but he does not la
ment moment at that-no indeed for he was
the very first to dshonor it, by having the draft
for his per diem protested; apd as for the dis
grace, it is but too palpable while such an un-
clean animal is suffered to stalk into the Senate
| Chamber.
! The humbugge, is never in ecstacies but
when the country suffers. When the country
| is wounded he exults. He can then promise the
people to heal the wound if they will surrender
the patient to his care. He very vainiy sup
poses that the people do not know that he gored
the body polite himself in the durk! No! he
will never be the physician. But if he still per-
sists in arraying himself against the Admins
tration, calling it the spaper money party, and
challenging it to the field, why he will even be
taken at his word. The Administration party
will take him by the horns and lash him to death
with his own tales.

| The great mail between Frederick land Gin
cinnati engaged the early attention of Mr..
Wicklife, and MISUNDERSTANDING all the difficulties
he had to encounter, he has persevered, until at
last an arrangement has been effected to carry at
| once the whole mass of matter, immense as it is.
For that purpose the line has been doubled, from
| Wheeling on, and it can now very rarely occur
that any portion of the mail will be left, even
| for day.
| The public may derive from the following
