WASHINGTON, May z, 1852.
But there is hos. of small fry about me here,
and proceed to dispose Of them. There is one DR.
Brewer, of the Boston Aaas, who could not live by
pills, and who tries to live now by SANDER. Ao-
quiring competency upon the proceeds Of rum, he
invested those proceeds in newspaper, aud this
newspaper he edits, or writes for, with about a.
much skill as he phlebotomized or ply sickcd, but
no more. Of no mind of his own, Of no oomprs-
henson Of his own of nationality whatsoever, he
has become here the worst sort Of provincial
sewer for draining off from Washington to Boston
Congressional garbage political ofa, and pot.housc
putrefaction. What he has he gathers up from the
crumbs of Governor Stewards table, or from the bed
room of Horace Mann, (thc only gentleman who
admits him into convcrsation) and he knows about
as much of what is really going on rs if he u
dog with their labels on him. He is elected from
about all other decent society. He is seen in no
other reputable mans parlor. housing about, he
has just capacity enough to comprehend lie, and
to Reuter- it, and the wonder is that from intel
Egent city Boston, there ever should be deputed
such mean. miserable, sneaking representative Of
the press. Thus much for one Of the slanderers
here.
There is another however, and his name is Pike
waif on the world, originally from Maine, but just
now sputteripg in the New York Tribune. The
Lord undoubtedly intended him for decent man,
ana has really given him some talent; but he is
living illustration of what becomes of man who
lives breathes, and exists only in stunning mala-
ria. What mind he has has become dwarfed by the
air he breathes in, that he has become fully per-
suatku th&t whoever does not think he thinks.

mn abolitionist, educated abolitonist, and cat
ing ana drinking only with abotionists, he has no
idea that q man can he an honest man who is not

SELF is. surposing, during the long session Of Con-
gress in 1850. when the compromise measures
under discussion, that he could, abolitonist,
eject from Congress the member from the Calais
Easipori district (Mr Fuller), he procured from
Governor Seward letters of confidence and introduce
ton to certain Roman Catholic priests the Pas
samaquoddy and Machias Bays, and he tried with
these letters to caiolo these priests: and sometimes
by canting with Methodists in some places upon the
horrors Of slavery. ard with Free viii Baptsts in
other places. be prayed or preached himself into

enough &c obtain anything like majority. This

regE-woud be- Representative is now the Washing
ton colrcsr ondent of the New York Tribune and he
finds congenial place in the columns Of that print
for the abuse Of Inc and Of rival editor. But let
him be passed over for the present, with the admo
milton that An Eye is an invisible spirit in WASH
ington, chat walks the air among you, and knows
you. and whom you cannot SANDER with impunity.
