Hunny- Hush-Read what "Aristophanes'
has written for the Columbus Wing; aud weep
Who is this learned correspondent of the Wing,
"Arisiophanesl' Who can this modern Scion be,
TINT SO enlightenment the world in general and the
readers ofhe Columbus Wing in particular, that
with dash Of his pen has demolished the TX
Sheriff." the "Prarc Grammariar, ""Uncle Jfp.

guessed that il can be no other Than certain
little man in spectacIes, who probably wears
them to attract attention, appear wise, or il may
be, TO initiate some man Of actual talents aud
good common sense, lie he frequsn.ly Aesn

brick law Office (havng nothing to do within.)
and recognized by his professional brethren as
the Lubec Lawyer
"Aristophanes" is on, in the Wing Of the 10th
ul,.,wh ongnonsensical article, without point
or wit, except so far as his egolism and vanity
may be considered s,lch for he evidently desires
/ TO show his Wing friends that he knows thing
or two about History, Omtory, the Anglo.saxon
race, and the Origin Whiggery. The wonder
Is with many, how "Aristophaues' could spare
the time from his professional foreign correspon-
dencc, with London, Paris, Han burg, the Ger,
man States, Hungary, l.ubec &C., &c., To write
so laborcd an article; especially as he is known
to spend a portion Of his time in strolling around
Town, thrus,ing himself into circles. where his
absence would frequently be considered good
company.
The answer to this may be that he is some
punkins, sure, a GcniuS, any way you can fix
il. But, to the substance Of the article in the
Wing over the signature Of "Arisiophanes," L
substance there be, in either the article or its
author. lie makes an assault upon plain old
unobtrusive citizen, wto, has frutn his youth up
e the age otihrec score years aud ten, supported
himSc5 and family BY The sscat Of has face ana
labor Of his o'ca hands and has not worn or de-
sired 10 wear fine LINEN and fare sumpiuousI,
every day upon tAe'subuance or labor Of Others
The only offence Of this aged citizen, oihel
than of being a Democratic freeman, speaking
his sentiments freely and honestly is, it appears
the remarks he made as Chairman ofthe Dem
ocratic Convention, position TO which he hat
been Unexpectedly called, showing the origin o
the Wing party,their various changes of names
without any change of principles, except from
bad to worse, and perhaps the further offence il
failing to show (from want Of ability frankly nc
knowledged to do SOY what would satisfy the
wing partyi the Chairman declared on that occa
sion that he believed ii was beyond the power o
man to tell what would satisfy wing. Afle
devoiing three columns in the Wing to the Chair
man OF the Democratic Convention, with as mucl
trashy stuff as could be crowded into so small /
space, "Arstophanes" attempts to give descrip
lion ofthc voting, 10 which las usual with sucl
small.wh fry everything is perverted. He the
brings out the Shetland poney and the monkeys
when you find that Lubec is perfectly acquainted
with his subject, having become high ldrnt, up
the subject Of Monkey shows IN his ramblcs pro
tessiOnally through Hungary and the Germani
States. or from his correspondence with .hos
countries.
lfsuch be "Arisiophanes" aim 70 Are th
"chvalry" in sneering at Democracy, he has on

+. make the representation perfectly natural.
