We cannot help thinking, in the mean time,
that John has perpetrated something very much
like libel upon the good people of this
country. The i'll success of his master, in
his attempts to buy up partizans, should have
convinced him before this, of the exceeding
difficulty of that operation. He has had all the
offices in his power, for two years and half and
has used them solely with that view. But as yet,
we can hear of no party which he has been able To
form. As soon as n Democrat is bought up, his
former friends fall on him, and tear him TO pieces.
That species of reasoning, which teaches man
TO think that because he would act, under certain
circumstances, in certain way, others would too,
is, of all others, the most allacious. The crca-
lures, who breathe the tainted air of Palace are,
OF all others, most apt To fall into it, They are
corrupt 10 the core themselves, and cannot con.
ceive how any man can act from disinterested mo-
tives They think, because they are open To
bribery, every one else is so likewise. We have
doubt that John Jones might be bribed TO
support any cause for $3.50; but we DENY that
any large body of men can be operated upon in
the same way.
Ii is rarely that notice, save in Jest, any
cbulon of folly, in which the Court Journal
may think proper to indulge To answer fool
according to his folly we have found to be the
best method Of reducing him to silence. But this
wholesale SANDER of the American people, by the
bondman of slave, written under the eye of his
master. calls for something more serious than mere
testing. That man, himself conspicuous Us the
only traitor this country has produced, who
claim 10 rank in namy with Arnold; whose
Prime Minister openly set him up auction. in the
House of Representatives of this nation; who is
even now endeavorng To make merit of his
treachery with the party that bought him; the OBJ
leCt of shame To those who trusted him-of loah-
ing To those on whose hands he has tallen;-that
man, we say, should not be permitted 10 pass
withOu; censure, for lending his sanction to this
Voting charge. 1t is well enough for the friends
of Van Buren,. tories in principle, worshippers of
power and its trappery by profession. dcSpisers of
the people by habit and association to stand aghas
ut the spectacle of popular strength. exhibited
in the campaign Of 1910. But, for man who
his elevation to that Storm cast up. rs he was
like the drcgs and sediment that lie on the bottom
of the political deep,-and where, otherwise, he
might have lain imbedded, in congenial mud, for
the rest of his inglorious days for such man To
prefer such charge, should excite the indignation
of every honest man, let him belong to what party
ne may.

TO .SPIKES"


Han to the age of chivary!
Which now more returns
The fire which filled the Knights OF old,
With lreshning ardOr burns.
Again the spear and blazcned shield
Are glitteTing the listed field,
And knighthood's Wondering urns
Send forth the spirit proud and high,
Which taught the brave to do or die
Once more the clarion rcnds the air,
The heralds cry "Largesse:"
And heroes vaunt their ladies fair.
Amid the combnt's press;
War irowns in all its awful pride,
And gallant champions hercey ride;
glove or silken trusS
The spell 10 nerve tainiing arm,
The only tasman from harm.
Yet vain would be their souls OF fire,
And brief their gory's flame,
Without some bard whose holy lofty
Should consccrate their fans.
Full many a hero gTaced the earth,
Ere Agamemnon had his birth,
But darkness wraps their name;
They had no bard's heroic flight,
To save them from Obiyion's night.
Not such our frse. thrice happy we,
knights OF the Iron Ring"
Who tried the sports of chivalry,
At Fsuquiers Sulphur Spring.
The tTOubadour, in by-gone day,
In lofty strain and martial lay,
Did deeds OF valor sing;
And minstrel Spikes thinks that HE
VIII give Immortality.
When Homer. centuries ngo,
First walked his sounding strain,
And sang bold deeds OF "derring.do
Upon the Trojan plain,
Could he have pierced the veil Of years,
Down 10 the time "Spikcs" appears
What direiul thoughts of pain
Had through the old mans bosom run
To find himself So Tar out donel
The Mantuan bard, his labours DER,
Sleeps with the mighty dead,
Pope strikes the magic harp no more,
And Millions soul is fled
And well It's so-lor il alive,
Their only care would be TO strive,
That each diminished head
Might find some unknown spot where he
Could hide in dull obscurity.
Thea thanks, Sir Spikes, we now must part,
My verse draws 20 as close;
You're Just the sort Of FroisSart,
To sing such lvanhocs.
We still will Vaunt our ladies' charms,
And prove them still by feats OF arms,
While you our deeds disc,oSe
And men shall say-"they truly are
That bard and knight, well matched pair"
SO farewell, Spikes, "sweet minstrel bard ~
And when we next shall meet,
As lab'rcrs merit their reward,
I'll stand you for treat.
And these few lines send 10 thee,
In al due nightly courtesie.
