FRIDAY MORNING, JULY2s, Is43
JACK THE GIANT KILLER.

Our an,iablc ncighbor of the True DEM
ocra, is rcry severe upon US this week. We
should have supposed j, nigh, have been suf-
ficient for him to have demolished General
Ma,tocks. But having used him up, he now
seem determined to annihiate US. Hear
him.
Speaking Of Our reply to him last week,
he makes use Of the following "very terrible"
language.
ave say hati ,cas scuriiious, lo,c, mean and con-
temptib!e, and were there another adjective in the
English language tina, expressed more superative
degree oflltteness, the attempt to nurc by expos
ing us 10 the peju1ces which characterize those SO
like to himself, whose narrow minds and crippled in
telecs, cannot conceive Of the worlds extending be-
You'd their own immediate neighborhood, such IN
attempt we say merits its application. But hear this
man Of mighty words.
III is certainly disgrace TO the editor of the Dem
ocrat that he is mere boy that he is foreigner,
that he has but Just received his certificate of natural
lzation that he has yet been allowed to vote
in this country and that he is comparatively ignor-
an the nature of our institutions and the character
of orr people All this we repeat is no disgrace to
| the young man.
| Certainly not! The editor Of the Free Pres,
wouldn't inslnuae any thing Of the kind for the world
rs not accustomed TO he so personal as all that 1t
would he decidedly too severe to cal man foreign
or, he might feel bad, and the Free Press, the world
knows, is charitable OF course its disgrace to be
mere bow else what would become of the 'Secrcta-
| ry. And il certainly cannot be 'disgraceful to be
comparatively lgnorat Of the nature OF our institutions
as some of ourselves are hardly capable Of demon
stra,lng proposition in Geomatry! This is not dis
| dsgraccful, Of course not. Oh! no nor is il dis
graceful for the Editor of the Democrat TO be called
beardlcss youth, by as beart!iess and brainleSs
sefsufccnt political pimp as ever smashed in speak
| inn li,h thpurf ilncx opth
sound we'll from such source. Aye, beardless youth
| indeed ~
II thank thee, Jew, for teaching me that word"
Now ant that too bad? But even that
,Oithcring as it is, is not all. Not satisfied
with having slain General Maucks and our
self, he is determined to mako mincemeat O
the Watchman also. He accordingly goc!
at him with his choppng knife after this wise
"The Waterman and Free Pross, those chaste ant
imperSondi political Sheets regardless Of all decency
all charity and all pr0priety, have dragged us belor
the public prIzae citizen yes, citizen, not for
eigner in any sense in which that word Is ever use
by the io,c, dsspicabie, narrop minded panderers
| a ruigdr prejudice" "a Member of the Unverst
of Vermont, also p A crime God knows, which n
one will charge the Editor of the Waterman with
at matter of any mpoI |nce we could show tina
the 'Wa'chman' is base slanderer, and that the ep
tibet of"Ihe Lying" is founded not only on good an
ancient usage, but in actual truth"
This also is very awful, very. Maste
Thomas Thumb himself could not WELD
more ponderons battle axe. Wen procure
a copy of "lMothcr GooSe's Melodies" 70
the Democrat man, if he'll only lie, us of now
They might serve to amuse him when no
in one Of his dmidble moods.
