to be very rabid and savage. We have already
given some specimens of its ferocity. Mr.. Clay
has been branded as a murderer-a gambler
duellist Mr.. Frelinghuysen has been reviled ant
abused because he is not murderer, gambler,
duellist but because he is saint, pious man, anC
friend of the blacks. Against Mr.. Polk they
have found it hard to say any thsng abu.
sive, not knowing much about him. Blu,
it appears that he had grandfather, and
so they are busy at the old man, who has
been lying in hisl grave for a generation. In
this SANDER Of the dead, the Courier f. Enquirer,
with littleness and malgnuy all its own,
is foremost. The little bag of gall which
does that print instead of a heart, is al
most bursting, 4 because ity has discovered a
dead man, whose memory il can, by the help
of lying, revile and blacken Mr.. Dallas is accu-
sed Of levying black mail on the forger, Edwards,
now in Sing Sing and the fends of party malice
are all over the land belchng forth, through the
party organs, their spite and spleen.
| But ii seems that the candidates themselves do
not furnish sufficient food for the blackguardism Of
the party press, and SO they have begun to revile
the smaller fry-the electloneering spouters and
orators. The most curious specimen of this new
system of SANDER, is that which we find IN paper
of this city, with a circulation of about five hun
dred, published by Charles King, who processes to
be the ne plus ultra Of everything that is gentle
manly, christian, proper, moral, virtuous, honest,
respectable, American, and what not. Here it ISL

The Mr.. Wells who is thus spoken of by the
immaculate Mr.. Charles King, is a native of this
city, educated in the office of Prescott Hall, Esq,
and young gentleman Of most unexcephonable
reputation. He was recently associated as partner

Newark, is man of the highest character, and is
universally respected by all who know him, whether
political friends or foes.
Andyet these are the men whom this Mr.. Charles
King dares to SANDER in a manner as characteristic
as il is vile. These are the men whom he under
takes to calumnlate in his paper, circulating among
the few hundred families of brokers and specula-
tors. These are the men whom this Mr.. Charles

to be regarded as gentleman" of the first water,

All this kind Of conduct is foreign to the nstitu-
tons and feelings of the American people The
young men OF both parties-the Wells and the
Wrghts, now in the field Of political ambition,
destined to supply the Presidents and Senators Of
fifteen, twenty, and thirty years hence. Who was
Henry Clay? A poor boy, without shoes or stock
ings, going with his mothers grist to the mill,
through the slasbes OF Hanover, and returning with
it, casting pebbesin the stream as he passed along,
or cracking jokes with his play fellows Who was
Mr.. Van Buren,? A poor boy of Undertook,
whose honest Dutch parents sent him to sweep
lawyers office, that he might earn his daily bread.
And who was Mr.. Polk Who were many of the
other great men of the country! They were once
poor boys who have attained their exalted stations
by the exercise Of energy, talent and virtue.
And yet these are the men that those broken
down, empty persons, who affect to be aristocrats
-beggarly in pocket as in soul and nteect-sugar
hogshead arstocrats-fancy stock arstocrats-,
sinking fish MISUNDERSTANDING to check in their
early career!
THE New BALLET AT NBLo's.-There was
something exquisite expected-Niblo promised it,
and he generally performs But Mad'lle. Desar-
dlns was there-and Herr Korponay was there.
The ballet, like Peri from Paradise, gave an in
spiration to the scene and the "Revolt Of the Ha-
REM was crowned with victory.
The dancing-the scenery-the costumes-were
unexceptonable, the tableaux and groupings grace
ful and effective, and the music exquisite. We can
not refrain from specifying the military exercises,
which, occurring in the progress of the Revolt, y
were so admirably performed by the female war
riors-the Amazons, whose prowess and discipline
struck pallid the Saracen Moon on the banners Of
the King Of Grenada. Evolutions Of very lntri-
