We are in for itnow. Our young professional
friend tina, has jus, mounted the tripod Of the Con-
st,uiionalist is after US with the sharpcst kind Of
sticks, and having lost his temper, has lost oil
compassion. We are catching il right and left,
without conjunction or feeling, in English, La
tin, Irish, and Congo. The grevious offence that
has so hugely provoked his wrath, is the hint we
gave that he had once been respectable cgJJ1cr.
"Ncver," says hcrcat this prcj sssionai man-'nc-
yer in the whole course of our lives have we wit
messed such gross malgnancy displayed by the
mos, abandoned wretch that humanity is capable
of conjurlny up in the mind, than a. that dis
played by the sycophantc scribbler who edits the
Free Trader" Wo are denounced Us q rank
"aristocrat'-as abusing him because he has been
$50 unfortunate us 10 have been born mcchan-
ic"-anl his readers are treated with delicious
0d capfuRd,m siabub in gloriiication Of has ex-
allied merit in that he is a mechanics son." has
been mechanic himself, but has "by dint of in
dustry and perseverance, RAISED himself into the
professional man -
~N""t itli| W We Hiust uSN ItiiHis-
sion to put in a careat to the construction put
upon our motives in abiding to the former respec'
table occupation Of our learned friend, while We
attempt TO place ourselves recie in curia. 1--WE
will lend our Law Dictionary to such as may
wish to know the meaning of these big words
we got them there.) Our object was not to snec
at him for having been mechanic, but to wound
his pride he felt Gas we suspected he did, ashaR
cd fit. If he gi,ried in the fact, to be reminded
Of it could certainly not ogtnd him. But how
does he receive hunch on the subject! Why
hear HIM "Ncvcr in the whole course Of our live:
have we witnessed such mulignancy!" MEg
nancy in calling him mechanic And ther
he plumes himself on the fact that from a mocha
mic he has "RAisEp himself into the proicssiona
am He was a'good boot makcr--what W,
have quoted from his wiring may suffice TO Civ,
the reader an idea OF bis professional ability
"RAIsEp" from a good boot maker into an indif
jtrent peiiiJoggr! There's exaltation for you
"What say you, talors, shoemakers, blacksmiths
ha,,crs, and printers" to being RAISED from you
honorable cailings up TO that Of the petifogger
"Shame on such democracy Shame for the maj
that dare [daresl promuIgatc such an iniatuate,
and Infamous" monsirosity. And he a smecha
MICS son.
"Oh that HHle man Of such descent,
or such professions, and of his esteem,
Should be Infused with 50" queer notion!
"But We have the proud satisfaction of know
ing" that the "Uhoie people, can have little iaiil
in the democracy Of "the scribbler that pens sucl
pharosiiieai III doctrines"
This 'pharasiiicaP doctrine leaks out in an
other part Of our raised friends editorials. VIVA
more whitening shaft of ridiculc and conemp
could be aimed at our Irish popu alon than Il
put in the mouth Of one Of them such unmitiga
ed nonsense as that Irish lingo in the last Con
sthutionalist. 1t would SO hard with the maj
that would put such stuff in our mouth!
"Bu, we must not enlarge" Our professiOna
friend on former occasion informed US that b,
was "alied with the man in the moon" anlwh
knows but the high notions we have criticise
may have come from that exalted parsonage, an
his ally here be innocent of theml Verify, W
would be cutting pretty figure, if
