In the deserted Art-Union room. on the
street called fremont, ia the City of Boston, as
semble now and then bevy OF amateur poll
ticians. Upper says, "A babe in a house is

from him entirely, yet We do say that pleasant
gentlemen who strive to make psitics branch Of
the Fine Arts by introducing traie hitherto so
obnoxious to the fastidous and dainty into the
templs Of the Nuses, deserve well Of leisure men
and minoing women. They are not Maehavels,
though they aspire to be of the Venetian school.
They are refined and subtle as they can be, and
deign to speak Of country cooperation. But that

his substantial friends by these selfapponted
lackeys that fibuster about his charot-wheels-a
set of temporal sycophants anxious to have Mr.

And less than rh0t? The Presidency Yes,
that bauble of an office which hs friends unani
