Jack Downing.

We enjoy wit, and have no objection to waggery We
,an excuse it, even when the Joke is male our own
expense But then have Alright to ask, If the wit be
good" and the waggery s'genwyne."
To this issue we are brought bya letter in Wednesdays
National Inelligencer headed 'Another letter from Ma
jor Downing" and signed ostensibly by "Major Jack
Downing" The question with us is is this the verilabe
Major Jack Downing or is il some inferior wag some
counterfeit presenment," who assumes the mask and
name of the true Jack Downing and passes off his spurious
coin for the solid bullion of that original wit and wag Jack
Downing 1t is not because its writer makes fun of us
that raise the question 1t not because he eers
our blunders ouEcpublcan principles Of yore that We
doubt his identity. To plumbers cannot but plead
guilty though they have been excessively magnihed by
the scrbblers of the day; and though they gen.
orally, by extraordinary purposes, the
work of others than of own. OF the firmness of
our opinions endorsed as they have been by the pnci
pies of Jefferson and the "resouons" OF Madison, we
have no reason be ashamed But If there any very
extraordinary humo the letters of this fictitious slack
Downright there any of the wit and naiuef OF the
original Jack ing--the worthy c. A. d., of New
York-the who universally passes as the author of
the Downing ieers-we should give him the credit he
deserves 1t is not because happen to be the subject
of his last letter. that protest against his preensons
but because happen to know that the present Jack
Downing, who has written three letters in mask for
the National Integencer, is not the Simon Pure, but
counterfeit presentment-in other words, something
Of the literary sjackdaw in the peacock's plumes"
And we fear that our friends of the National Inei.
gencer knew that they palmng off this amusing
trick upon their readers, when they hailed with such
cordial reclamation the receipt of the two first letters OF
"Jack Downing, and when they introduced the letter OF
Wednesday as "another letter from Jack Downing" We
undertake say positively that these letters in the nel
gencer are something of humbugs; that they are not
written by the original Jack Downing, Of New York;
that he has not employed that signature since the days
of Old Hickory and that he would be the last man to
satrize the President or his administration. Therefore
we strip the mask off from the counterfeit and repeat his
motto, 'Rdentem, deere psrum q,eid vetat"
We seize the opportunity to say that we, too
may have done unconscious injustice to Jack Downing
himself, when, misaking personfo another of SINH
lar name, we asked whether any OF the blood OF Jack
Downing could flow in the veins of the author OF the lei
tiers of the "Genevese Traveller" in the London Times
The very question was calculated to msead readers
as we find upon better information but correct
bunder the hazard Of provoking the laughter
of this mock Jack Downing.

From the Petersburg Republican.
The Triumph In the Petersburg District"

The result of the late special election this district is
matter OF sincere graduation to every democrat IT
triumph of principle, and has been in spite of the
most extraordinary and unmltigated opposition that
party, candidate, had to contend with. And
when we take into consideration the fact that the wing
candidate sought to avail himself of the great popularity
of Gen. Tayor-whom he proclaimed all over the dis
rct to be his candidate for the next presdencyand the
other fact that he in every place assaed the present
but to the conclusion that the triumph itself
must have been to the chgs most extraordinary indeed
BY this time we hope they are satisfied that the deocras
they will not allow any man to nominate President for
them, to manufacture for them opinions in reference TO
the justice injustice Of the Mexican They have
neuer been backward in awarding to Gen. Taylor and
Cen Scott Also the highest need of praise for the SPLEEN
did victories which they have achieved the field of
batte but they not in the habit OF approving the
nomination Of candidate for the presidency, before his
political creed is knoca OF saying that because
is successful military chieftain," therefore, conse-
charge the duties Of President Of tie United States And
to their opinions about the Mexican car, we think
the President might consider this three hundred and sixty
al evidence that they believe it is not only Just war;
but that it has been conducted with certainly as much
ability and success as If it had been under the spervi
sion of the Whigs-of course we don't mean such wings
CorUin and HASKELL but the wise and patriotic of that
party, of whom believe there are thousands upon
thousands
Yes the vote which has Just been given by the democrats
the south side, not only highly complimentary to
able and popular elect butt is, without dis
sent apprObdtor in the largest sense OF the
of James X Pok How else it be considered! Did not
Mr. Meade tell the people that he considered James H.
Polk about the best President haze had for forty years
Did he not everywhere declare that he agreed with the
President about the Mexican cdr, and that he approved
of the Presidents acts in relation 10 the subreasy, the
tariff distribution and internal improvements? Suppose
the democrats had differed from Mr. Meade upon these
subjects: would they have voted for him2 We do not
believe they would and that their vote is
much an approval of Mr.. Folks administration, it
was an indication of their full confidence the integrity
ability and usefulness of Mr.. Meade. The achigs be-
lieved that Mr. Meade was iceak man, but now they
know that he is strong man, and, should they desire
further confirmation OF the fact they will in 1919 be
satisfied that he is veru strong.
