tunes of Fitz Greene Halleck, and Hoffman-what
with the occupation of Bryant in expounding the
position of the barnburners and the secrets of Co
vernon Seward-what with the engagements of |
Willis in the regulation of aristocrac society, and
of the Brgadier General Merits in love songs for
young ladies'. and considering that Father Richie
has enough to do in the lamentations of jeremiah
over the executions by Fitz Henry Warren, of the
little locofoco deputy postmasters from Dan to Beer
sheba-we feel it to be duty to call upon Apollo
and all the goddesses of Panassus to aid us in the
exposition of the wrath of Mr.. Fuller, against the
Clay wings, and in vindication of his expectations
Of the Marshalshp for the Southern District of the
State of New York.
In the Mirror of Saturday last, MIR. Fuller, the
editor, gives the bastinado to the Clay wing Apollo
dinner dnorganzers roundly and soundy, from
which we make few extracts, and reduce them
to poetry, to be set to music by the Ethiopian sere
naders, and to be sung at mass meeting of the
original Taylor men in the Park, as soon as Hiram
is appointed Marshal of this district. Mr. Fuller
thus speaks of the Clay dinner, or supper, at the
Apollo Saoon:-
judge from the published reports Of the speeches
and sentiments flung out I" in honor of Henry Claw
exists among the cliQues deep-rooted and deadly
hostility towards the administration Gen Taylor not
whstanding the undeserved favor which has thus far
been shown TO this very faction in the of
government atronage 1t cannot be denied that here
in New York. none but the original enemies General
Taylor have MS yet received Office at his hands Mat
thew L. Davis belonged to this very clique of 10 Whites
Nick CAROLS and Willis Halls, who have constantly
denounced the friends Of General Taylor traitors and
assassins.'
From all the reports and the speeches
OF the dinner vt the Apollo Saloon,
The Clay wings, those horrible leeches
Have been bowling again to the moon;
And IL cir hate of Old lack is az bitter TODAY
As their foolish devotion of Old Harry Clay
And yet these poor wretches, ungratcful,
Are feeding on government hash;
While with a maignity hateful
They spatter Old lack with their trash;
And Davis, 10 White and Nick Carroll and Hall
Denonce as asssssins the Taylor men all.
But again Hiram regrets to find the Express in
such bad company
"And to invite the President Of the United States to
participate in feast Of hatred, where all his friends
totally damned is one Of tho most outrageous Insult.

to exercise an independent opinion preferred victory

Not content with prosecuting us
Through all the late campaign,
These rabd politicians come
Down on old lack again.
And even the old boy in specsn
Who said he'd wade hcll-fre
In red hot cinders to his knees,
To swamp US in the mire;
Even he, this old bald pated chap,
Though palsied, joins the play,
And while the most delicious pap
Eoistens his hoary clay,
He heaps abuse upon each head
OF those by whom his stomach's fed
Hiram is compelled to arrest his pen from spon-
taneous combustion.
"There some veteransnners who are so far gone
in inquity, that it is no use to heap csas Of fire

the only fire they will feel is that which without
consuming burns-the hell-fre of guilty conscience

There are old sinners so far gone
In viloness and abuse
That Goals Of fire upon their heads
Are Of no earthly use;
To teach them what they are about,
We hope old Zack will kick them out.
But here the subject grows too warm,
And when it this way tends,
We fear old combustion, pen
May burn our fingers ends.
But while his fingers in the pie,
Let Matty Davis mind his eye.
Hiram has something to add -
We will only add that besides uncorkng all their
against the original friends of the President the
Cayites at their carnival of hate, nominated Henry
Clay for 1852 and Horace Greeley toasted Nick Carroll
instead Of roasting him. as he deserved to be- for his
malignant hostility to the present Chief Magistrate of
whom he is now begging favors at Washington.

Of the administration, will lead to it's utter

SO they nomnatcs Henry Clay
For eighteen y-two,
And Greeley, mounted on barrel,
Was fool enough to toast Nick Carroll.
All prospects, all attempts, are vain
Towards cancellation
OF this foul clique Of priyateers
On this administration.
Why throw the marrow bones away
To dogs that gnarl and fight
While friends sincere
Are waiting here.
In hopes to get bite
And thus endeth the anathema of Hiram.

And by their proper names.
