Meanness OF the Madisonian.

We find that Mr. John Jones, of the Madsonian,
has had the insufierabe meanness TO take our ex-
celent and accurate report OF the Mass Meeting OF
Young Democrats at Castle Garden last Saturday,
and appropriate it TO himself without the slightest
acknowledgment.
This act of meanness Is only equalled by that OF
Noah in relation to the subject 1t is contrary TO
all the rules OF editorial courtesy contrary to all rules
of propriety and common honesty, and particularly
disgraceful in the organ OF the Administration No
paper came out SO soon as the GO Herald" in rea-
ton TO these meetings. and their manly support OF
the honest measures of Mr.. Tyler and, yet, this is
the conduct of this organ in relation to It's labors
This is the way in which Mr.. John Jones seeks to
build himself up reputation by meanly apprOpria-
ting that which does not belong to him.
In the mean while ii seems, however, to be inhe-
rent in the man. He appears to be utterly incapa-
bic of conducting any thing with proprety; and we
see that he has lately taken up the old habits and
cast-off abuse of Francis P. Blair, and tainted Mr.
Gales Ia very amiable, quiet gentlemanly man in
himself,) with being an Engshman 1t isl true that
Mr. Gales was born in England, but he came here
very young, and has lived here many years. But
whether he had not, it only shows the ignorance
and folly of this Mr. John Jones to taunt an old
spectacle gentleman with being born upon one side
OF a mountain, stream, valley, instead of an
other; as if we not nearly all in this country
of English descent-as if we have not all the same
blood in vens-as if we did not all speak the
same co mmon language But Mr.. John Jones, per-
haps does not think and this is another item of
tie conduct adopted by HIM who sets up ateacher
ofhonesty, morality and good breeding
We can conceive nothing more utterly mean and
despicable

NAVAL COURT MARTIAIs. The details Of the
Court Martials going on in this harbor present
some of the most curious developments that have
ever taken place in tins country particularly the
trial OF Lieut.. Wilkes, the evidence in which is now
before the world.
II will be recollected that this expedition was sent
out by Mr. Paulding, when he was Secretary OF the
Navy under the administration OF Mr.. Van Buren,
And ii would seem that one of the principal feats Of
the Expedition was 10 visit various defenceless
Islands in the South Pacific, and kill off many of
the poor natives as they could
The whole Expedition has been miserable fail
ure il was badly got up and worse carried out
laundering, brutality, bad temper, ignorance, bias
phemy and impudence, characterized ilrom first TO
last and the details of the trials leave doubt of
the utter incapacy of Lieut.. Wilkes to take the
command OF such an expeditions; and we doubt that
however well Mr.. Paulding may write a novel, he
was totally unfit TO be Secretary of the Navy
which post he disgraced by his shameful favorit-
ism.
We have some very curious Developments to give
hereafter, as to ~hat took place at Sydney relative
to who discovered the first land in the Antarctic
Region.

Madame ResteIl-Virtuc md Morality.

The other day the newspaper press of this city
with one or two exceptions, was characterised by
the immortal Mike Walsh in the following Ian
guage -" l know that there isn't more pitiful,
contemplate, degraded corrupt lying, sinking set
ofscoundrels than those that are connected with the
public press" When that sentence was uttered, we
did not know that we should SO soon afterwards
have such striking specimen ofis accuracy.
1t is well known, that for some time past, certain
papers laying claim to large share of morality if
not all of it in the city, raised tremendous clamor
against Madame Restell for what they termed her
immoral practices Yet we have since seen, and,
within few days, in the Tribune" the Sun
and other moral papers, the whole of her stated
as by herself and an elaborate defence of her; The
whole Of which we give to-day as specimen ofthe
honesty, morality and consistency OF these Pious
papers.
This woman, it is very doubtful, has no. been
guilty of any thing more in reality than is practised
by many medical men in this country. Yet these
papers have all come down upon her, open-mouth-
ed ready to destroy her. and abused her in ORDER
see, TO levy black mail upon her in every
conceivable shape One of the specimens of this
sort of conduct is that of Noah, (who in his little
paper is sort of ackall Beach, who lately open
ed her with the lowest species of abuse, in order
compel her to walk up to the Captains office and
settle. The effect of this abuse of Noah's was to
cause her Immediately 10 90 to his principal,
Beach, to get him to insert the defence, which we
have copied from the &C Sun" Beach very kindly
enters into the object of her VISIT which he had been
expecting, and tells her that he will insert her de-
fence in his paper for $25, and caused it to be
sertedin the Union, (Noah's paper for $40 more
Hereafter. therefore, when any one shall see
themselves violently abused In Noahs little paper,
they will understand it a hint to "step up to the
Captains office and sette!' -
