THE MERCURY AND THE CILLEY
CHALL ENGE.

We had not intended again to notice the
weak attempts of the Mercury at lying of
Mr. Gays guilt in the murder of the la
mented Cilley. But since that thing
has been so magnanimous as to yield and
admit one point after another, when
we have driven it from its position, we
deem 1t meet this week to put on the finish.
ing stroke. We will quote in the first place
from Mr. Wise's letter to Mr. Clay:
Washington, February 25, ls42.
-, Did you not draw
the form of the challenge which bore for
Mr. Graves to Mr. CllIey on the morning of
Friday, the Odd day of February, 1887

Come all who hold their freedom dear,
And 10 democracy adhere
Come listen TO a lay,
That, though unbrought, comes forth more fr
Than those the hired minisirelsy
OF those who shout for Clay
Our federal friends seem rather sore
AT late events in Baltimore.
And strive to raise a laugh;
But well they know their mirlh is folly,

AS heara dying calf.
Their coonskns and log cabins too,
They fear, alas! will never do
To humbug folks again,
For truth is strong and will prevail,
Though pensioned demagognes assail

Their sky grow dim, their hopes grow cold,
And clouds on their horizon,
Which threaten, as they gather back,
To sweep from Off the track

So rouse yourselves. We Democrats,
And with. up-iiied hearts and hats,
Rise up in freedoms ray.
And like the thunder storm that rolls,
Drive back 10 their Obvious holes
The satellites Of Clay.
Let all assemble here We see,
Give three cheers for Democracy,
Despite all federal malecc,
And teach our foes in next November,
a lesson they will long remember

POPULAR SAYING.

In France and England, and various
other parts of Europe, where the Poka
has been danced, it has become exceed
ingly popular-popular, indeed, that the
familiar word of praise, whenever any
thing is beautiful or excellent, is that it
is "Poike." Ifyou praise lady's eyes,
they are Poke; if you speak of her well
adjusted dress, it is Poike; if you admire
a fine or magnificent woman, she is Poike;
ifyou speak ola clever fellow, or of an
incorruptible Statesman, he is Poike-
1t is about the highest mode ofpraise or
commentator that you can bestow. 1t
is hardly necessary to announce that
we have adopted Polk in this country,
and have placed the name at the top of
the heap, and intend to heap all honors
upon it. Then hurrah for
