We observe a card from Mr.. WooD-
WARD in the Union of Friday, in which he
disclaims any idea Of using The word
"rabble" Extensively TO the citizens of
Washington. As he explains it, he only
meant the constituents Of gentlemen who
represent the neighboring districts, and
not the people Of this city. That is no
affair of ours, and we hope the explana-
ton will be satisfactory. That it may
enjoy the benefit Of a large circulation, we
copy a portion Of IL:
Gan impression has been sought 10 be made, that
u meant 10 speak direspcctfolly Of the people Of
this city, in my remarks MONDAY lsst) on the
proposition Of Mr.. Butler, Of Pennsylvania No
such thing was intended. My object was 10 show,
that the notions expressed by some, and the prop
osion Of Mr.. Butler, II carried out would result,
practically in throwing open the doors Of the hall
to any rabble Of loafers that might choose 10 as
scmble about the Capitol; and that this city affords
rather an unusual proportion Of such persons
during the session, can deny. This being
the scat Of n great Government, vicious and dis

by such general expressions as those to
which, with Mr.. BRADBURY's aid, It now
seeks to give so much significance. What
did it say of them during the Presidential
canvass' Speaking Of the phrase ssPre-
sident'of the People, it said-and this
was the tenor of all its argument and com
mentary during the canvass
"IHe fact as, this phrase, phicA has APP
peared so often in General TAYLoR's
letters, means JUST NOTHING 1T
s.aLL." flg f'k' d
This was what it meant during the can
vass; but after the election, and in the
face Of a pledge to a ''change Of men and
measures" the Union and Mr.. BRAD
BURY interpret it as a pledge not to dis
turb the unjust monopoly of the ellie in
the public employments.
Thus much for that portion Of Mr.
BRADBURY's argument which justifes his
call upon President TAYLOR, upon the
ground that he was pledged to be the
President Of the people, and not the Presi-
dent of party.
Our article has run to so great length
that we are obliged to suspend further
comments till another day. If Mr.. BRAD
BURY's printed speech should present any
features besides those it has borrowed
from the Union, we may have occasion
to revert to this portion of it again.

solute persons, from the surrounding country and
the neghboring cities, attracted here in large
numbers, greatly TO the annoyance OF the more
orderly inhabitants, as well Congress-; and if
members, representing neighboring cities, were
permitted TO introduce the floor whonsoever
they might pease-not venturing TO make dis
tnctons among their constituents assembled here
in great numbers-the consequence would BIO that
the inebriate the absolute, and vicious, q speak
from experience,) would swarm upon the floor.
Nothing could give me greater contempt for the
body than for it to submit to such imposition"
The worthy gentleman who talks SO
complacently of "rabble of loafers" is
the very pink Of Democracy! We are not
aware that there is any portion Of the vari-
Gus constituencies represented on the floor
Of Congress, of whom any man there is
authorized to speak as "rabble" or
ssrabble of loafers." We had supposed
that by the elective suffrage and the diff
fusion of the rights and blessings Of free
government, the people Of the United
States had rendered the phrase of 1srab-
BILE Of loafers" rather an obsolete mode of
expression. We thought the ssrabble"
had given place to the 99sovereigns."
And this gentleman is one Of the bright
and shining lights of a party who are OPP
posed to plain old ZACHARY TAYLOR, be-
cause he is in favor of such aristocratic
and monarchical ideas as those of giving
the "rabble" good harbors, good roads,
and good wages.
