this hater Of hard cider and yaller kivers. is no
other than certain dminutve official in neigh

Of young ideas has been exchanged for that oil
thunder grinder and poet laureate to the Fayette
clique. .--
The manner in which this same individual
is wont 10 deliver himself, when big with words
Of learned length and numbering sound, corres-
ponds SO precisely with the inflated glorifcation
Of the present specimen, that when we were
coming over the sentences he has strung together
with such classic elegance. we almost fancied
the little man was on the rostrum before us,
spoutng the eloquent paragraphs in his accus.
toned squeakng falseto. Listen to him awhile
and | am sure you will recognize the dulcet
strains: aft is clear tina, il the true principles
Of human reason and sound policy, should again

species, who will nobly sustain and still farther
advance the dignity and honor OF this State,
already elevated to so high point by the distin'

Whew! Fan me! Pretty tough or he certainly
must have blown up before he got through this
paragraph. But If the gentleman has any wind
lift, we should like him to reply to question
or two for the edfcation OF his readers. When
he speaks Of "rue principles" and "sound pol.
ICY" was he not thinking OF the seuen princi.t
Piles Of his party and that cohesive policy, which
distinguished southern Senator, now Of the
Democratic faith, asserted bound that party to.
gether for certain purposes Of rather pira.ical
character! Again--"A governor with soul ex.
panding for the benefit Of his species, &C., &C."
Does the gentleman mean by this alusion that
he wishes us to have second John c. Edwards
in the "gubernatoral station" who stretched his
expansive powers well nigh to bursting, in that
famous peddling trip, gotten up, we suppose.
for the "beneit Of the specie" Edwards.
If this be not the correct Interpretation OF the
text we are at loss for another, unless the gen.
tleman, like some ancient Psychologist, believes
that tho soul has its location in the abdominal
regions, and has reference to one OF our Elk. Cow
ernors, who is most VIGOROUSLY expanded in
them parts.
But, from this subject OF we'll fed governors,
there is natural DEPRESSION to the matter OF corn
and potatoes, evincing tho extent of the writer's
imagination and his acuteness and originality
as a political economist. ''Let some cornmu.
ties says he "rely upon mining, some upon
manufactures, others upon commerce. But lie.
the great interest Of the State be based upon
a bountilul supply of food" Banks may break,
let famine come, let wars ensue"-in despite of
all these we shall get on pretty we'll, for "al we

State and nation 10 their present pitch Of enriabls

author, that an attempt 10 find an idea in all his

Oh most lame and impotent conclusion to such

disparage The claims OF Mr. Jackson upon his
party, for he has been its head and front in tbe
