Our neighbor, Dennis, the reputed and verita-
bic author of "1he Old Duck Hunter Of Cayu-

''caled IN umpire" in the case of Dennis VS.

ready TO tear his shirt and fall right thru IT.

Munchausen's heir Dennis-we merely tho't

Jackson he ought to break
The author is correct in saying that We haven't
sufficient sense to write tale of even the slight

odd Duck Hunter and we heartily pray
that we may never write and publish under

ed before We were born, or shortly after. No
man, with the least Pretensions TO good common
sense, would be guilty of such an act.

l+La,t year, the Iowa Legislature did not
elect Senators Judges, from the fact that the
Wings had a majority on joint ballot; ,hs locos
had ma iority in the Senate and refused TO go in

every iocofoco editor in the land. This year the
locos had majority on joint ballot but the wings
having a majority in the House refused 20 elect
thus doing as they had been done unto,-and the
ocos are bitterly denouncing the wings for the
same thing they had justified in their own party.
We DO not Justify an act of this kind. let it be
committed by wings or Iocos,-it is that kind #
pdrty spirit that w i'll lead to anarchy and confu-
sion. and utterly condemn it. As long

| In the bold and manly response ofGen-
neral Taylor. to the mean and insulting
letter of Mr.. Secretary Marcy, is the fol-
lowing:
..The apparcn, determination Of tho
department TO place me in an attitude an
iagonistical to the government, has an ap,
illustration in the well known fable Of
.l,sop. But ask no favor, will shrink
from no responsibility.
Now the fable Of Esop to which the
Administration was 80 courteously but
most rebuhingly referred, is thus rccor-
dcd.
The UoIfund Tie Lamb.-A wolf and
lamb came 10 the same stream to quench
their thiIsi.--I'hc water flowed from tho
former towards the latter, who stood at an
humble distance below; but no sooner did
the wolf perceive the lamb, than seeking
a pretext for his destruction he ran down
10 him, and accused him of disturbing the
water which he was drinking. GLOW can
disturb it, said the poor terrified crca-
turc, ..sncc the stream flows down from
you TO me and assure you that did not
mean to give you any offence, by drink
ing at the same stream" THAT may be-
replied the wolf, 'but it was only yester-
day that ! saw your sire encouraging the
hounds that were pursuing me- pardon
me- answered the lamb, my poor sire fell
victim to the butchers knife upwards Of
a month since 1T was your dam. them
replied the savage beast. MY dam,' said
the innocent. died on the day was born
'Died or not, vocifcrated the wolf. as gnash-
ed his teeth in rage, Il know very we'll that

lamb and devoured him.
