1FOr the RADICAL

Mr.. Edifr:-A question puzzles me;
one which | wish 10 invite the attention
Of the considerate and rejecting.
Is it probable that any mai. whom ma
ture did not design for a regular built
blackguard, ever was guilty of squirting
his tobacco juice yer the floor of a
dwelling or meeting house?
This is a question of much practical
importance-aflecting the ''better half Of
creation"-and l hope, in the name Of
every thing that is nasty, filthy and dis
gushing, that some learned Polemic or
Lyceum, whose decision shall have the
validity of law, will soon settle it.
If the ladies could but know that they
were not expected to keep clean houses,
or to clothe themselves in apparel when
going TO church which could be injured
by being bedaubed with tobacco juice,
it might "a them heap oftrouble.

THE, REPEAL MEETING.

We observe that the Sen,ncl's report Of
proceedings at the Repeal Meeting varies es-
sentia,ly from that published by us. The
resolution of Mr.. Haswell is published in full
though it cauld not be obtained by the Secre-
taries, and his remarks are reported more at
length and contain sundry things omitted by
the Secretaries in the great hurry of making
up their report. This is well enough though
we wish the resolution had been furnished,
that we might have published it with the rest.
While speaking of this we will remark that
the Secretaries have requested us 10 supply
an omission which gave them sincere regret.
After the Rev. Mr.. O'Callaghan had replied
to Mr.. Ilaswell for the las, time, James o..
Grady Esq. made short but spirited appear
to the meeting to dismiss the resolution o
Mr. Haswcl as irrelevant, but stating at tho
same time that he should oppose its passag,
if called to vote upon it. The speech of Mr.
O'Grady, though short, was very well timed
effective, and quite severe upon Sain
Tamany," and nothing bu, the hurry 0
making the report, and the confusion whicI
marked the close Of the meeting, could hav,
prevented the Secretaries from noticing it il
its order in the report.
