"The Galvanized Squash"

The editor of the New York Tribune
has been recently straining his lungs
most dreadfully, by believing 'dough-fa-
ces' at the members of Congress that
voted against the Wilmot proyiso,'
until he has disgusted many OF the rea-
ders of his own paper. The Western
Continent weekly family newspaper
published at Baltimore, thus notices Mr..
Greely: r ..,,,,,r -
The ALBINo AND THE DoUGH FAcEs.-
The tory editor Of the New York Tri-
bune, calls those Northern members Of
Congress, who voted against the VII
MOT PRoviso, dough faces, and paradss
their names in his paper surrounded by
black lines. Every honest patriot must
envy the fame Of the men, who by their
firm adherancs to the constitution, have
incurred the displeasure of the editor
Lof the Tribune, whose applause is
more to be dreaded than his abuse.
That this poor crazy embodiment OF
all the vile isms and follies of the times,
should rail against sensible, honest, pa
triotic men. is not at all remarkable;
but that the Galvanized Squash, as q
New York editor once called him,
should presume to call any set Of men
dough: faces, is utterly ridiculous. For
an insane, bigotted Albino, who has
subsisted on Graham bread and his
own vanity, until he has become an
objectto frighten childrenin the streets,
until his face has become SO blanched,
msipid and unmeaning, that It can be
likened to nothing human, to indulge
in such a term of abuse, is enough to
excite smile of ridicute, even from
those who would not deignhim a frown
Of resentment. ss .,iar.9 ,s,.s,a q.s se
