OF riot and rowdy.m crimio and wrong, but another
kind directed against pub c officers in the execu-
ton Of their duties atriotc and meritorious Is
it not time put stop, by egal means, to the
career Of these miseiab jncendialies, socialists
and demagogues, before the city becomes scene
of blood uproar and confusion, and the public
tranquility is entirely destroyed? How long will
these dangercu social site theories be tolerated by
an intelligent peope?
| THE AGITAToHs OF TIE III CHER LAw-PoLrTI-
CAL Sw1NDLINa. The Evening Post of this city,
while laboring sealousl, for the democratic candi
date follows the example of Greeley, and execrates
and spits upon bis party platform. The same man
who in his poetry ussu mes the innocent simplicity
and childish innocei G, Of old grandmother Parting
ton, becomes, in his her charac er of the poti-
cian the boiseIous incendiar The enraged fanatic
the swelling and clamorous abolitionist. This
precious specimen of the poet and the political
demag ogue says in late number Of the Post, that
the slavery agitation must 60 on-that the case of
Manuel Pereira in Charleston, tho questio of the
recogni ion Of the Emperor Of Hayti, and the ques
tion Of slavery in the District Of Columbia, have yet
to be settled, and must be discussed With respect
10 the Fugitive Slave Law, he says:-
There is every prospect, not Of renewaor that is
not tie true tellLbut OF continuance Of the discus
sion as long q any attempts IRE made to entoe the Fu
give Sas, The discussion seems. for the time to
have been sl.nced in Congress- but is not sienced
elsewhere. Every pursuit oi black Fugitive into The
free states rekndo, the controversy in all It's original
heat ana no,hng buL The absolute desueucc OF that
! Will quiet pubic opinion on that point
These being exactly the sentiments Of the phil,-
sopher of the Tribune, he copies the whole article,
endorses it all, and follows it up, usual, by rail
ing upon the south. Tne poet and the philosopher
1.sh a,I dam IS -
stripe. They both wear the same livery though
there are some material points Of difference be-
tween them. The philosopher, in his domagoguism,
more Of knaye than fool, while the old grand
mother poet il not so much knaye as a fool. Both
,abidly fanaical, as if bitten BY the same dog;
but, while the poet is rather old maidsn in the
precision Of his abuse Of slavery, the philosopher
gives it to the peculiar institut in the painest
billngsgate. The poet is rather clearly 10 his
habits, While the philosopher is shockngly dirty.
The one has the solemn and sinister look OF Puri
tan on the scent of runaway negro-the other
looks lees respectable, at full speed than the run
away negro himself And yet the poet and the
philosopher, after abusing each other like horse
thieves, on other mbjec.s, shake hands the agi-
tation OF the slavery question, and pat each other
on the back, and sp5 upon their party platforms,
and Willy The South, with all the gusto Of a brace
Of old political sSindlers, casehardened, and DO
yond the reach Of The law.
They each in the wrong pew-n the wroeg
churc-n TIE wrong party; the one isa whlg aud The
othera democrat but be in false colurs. They are
both grants politics, irrant che practising
hypocrisy and deception under false pre,cnces--de
nagogues in the disguise Of philanthropy, and scdi
tous fanatics rnder tic Gimey mask OF humanity.
They are not Ut homo where they arc neither tho
socialist philosopher, the fanatical aud rhiaipo
poet; They had better waste 10 more fthuir pow
der Scott Pierce, but wall and fsaternize with
the Pttsburg Convention. There the philosopher
have the full measure eli his hearts desire-abo-
litoD, sedition, socialism, iuhdc,ity agrariunism,
red republicanisn free farms, free reyts free pro-
Icity, tree murder women srights aud the Rvches-
ter knocking; and all these, to1, the flaasical

rules the Wing party with rod ron ana which has

other tms Of the day, that it Is almost entirely do
nationa lied and reduced to aNorthern anti slavery
faction. The Tits4~e may, perhaps gain all its
present objects in the promotion Of Seward, and his
advnD cement to power, BY the election Of Con.
Scott; but the Post can do nothing better, to be
consistent with its professions than to turn itself
over, bag and baggage, TO the Pittsburg Conven-
ton. To support Presidential candidate pledged
to certain great principles and at the same time to
spit upon his PLATFORM" Is the boldest sort Of po-
Etioal swhGlng soder false pretcnces. 1T may suit
grave ard poet should be guilty Of such oontomp-
tibc by pocrisy.
