damnatory allusion, some indirect inslnua''o''
or some thinly Disguised double enfendrej ny
either or by all of which, he is compelled 10
conclude that this very Thomas is damned IN
the editorials, damned in The COPIED mater,
damned in the advertising columns, uaihheu
every where, and at all times.

Their olfactory nerves must have been wound

To see them now, Of contrite and lorgiving
hearts, abjuring venge ance, sacrificing anmosi-
ties, conceding, iorbearing, coalescing in spirit,
and harmonising in action swearing fidelity
and reconcling differences embracing like
brothers long lost, IL is enough To make us
"drop tears as fast as Arabian trees their medi-

Damon and Pythias.
But although The outlines Of this new coali-

are some dramdtis persona still TO be elected.
We would nota pear over-anxious, nor seek 10

better qualified TO act the Lepidus, the ne
cessary and convenient tool who is TO do the
useill, rather than the ornamental parts Of the
play, than our contemporary, the ,ditor Of the
Globe. For though he may have more wit
