A Dignified Epithef,
Committee

There is at present in Washington an elderly
gentleman whose life has been devoted to the
service of his countrywide has been exposed to
much fatigue, privation, hardship, and peril
whose blood has flowed like water upon the battle
fields where our nations interests and honor were
to be Northumberland who carries upon his per-
son the deep scars inflicted by the enemies of our
country: a man, too, whose moral character is
without spot or stain, whose walk has ever been
among the good and pure, whose conduct has
ever been in conformity TO the usages of those
whoappreciate the beauties of enlightened liberty
and the precepts of genuine Christian philos-
ophy.
Some of the fellow citizens of this person have
happily discovered for him an appropriate cog
nomen in the poetic, dignifed, and respectful
title of Fuss and Feathers of course simply
because the uniform of the republic is a very
contemplate and ridiculous livery. We must not
quarrel with such persons, their own self
respect and depth of grateful feelings are the
standard by which their conduct in this particu
lar is regulated but we will take occasion to
say that, whatever may be said of the Feathers"
there has been no other man in the city of Wash
ington during the past several months so entirely
free from "fuss," "noise, confusion" "agita-
tion," or excitement, as the honored veteran and
hero, General Winfield Scott.
The Union and Republic have babbled like gran
MES; the House of Representatives has resOunded
with sophmoric defamation; and politicians, from
the calibre of ten-pounder down to that of a
pop-gun, have exploded theirindignation, all be-
cause this subject of their jibes and ridicule
makes no speeches, writes no letters, sings nc
songs, dances no jigs, and does nothing else to
thwart the tendency of the great Wing party
toward harmony, unity, action, and victory
May we all learn from his example, and leave to
buffoon politicians and the mean. spirited funkies
of power and patronage the enjoyment of their
own brilliant wit and high-souled devotion to the
party that has cherished them as vipers in the
warmth Of its trusting embrace.

Invitation from tho wings OF BaItim ore
to the wings OF the Union.
To The Wigs of the Union

To the Wings Of the Union.
The undersigned have been directed by the
Wing City Convention of Baltimore to solicit the
attendance of their fellow-Whigs from all parts
of the Union at the meeting of the National
Convention, on the 10Th June.
The invitation which they are instructed to
extend is on behalf, not only of those whom they
Immediately represent, but of the body of tha
Wings OF Maryland. On memorable occasidd
heretofore our fellow Wings have honored us By
assembling here in council. We are not aware
that any have had cause to tax us with the lack
of cordial welcome.
If kindly intercourse and the interchange of
opinions and good Offices have contributed on for
mer occasions to strengthen the bonds of good fell
lowshlp, such consequences, more than ever, must
follow from themnow. The thought that the Union
has been in danger must make the feeling Of broth
erhood more warm, when brethren of all sections,
in the name Of the Union, are met to consult for
its continued preservation.
Let our fellow-Whigs, then, from all quarters,
bring themselves among us. Let their delegations
be numerous, enthusiastic, and confident. The
inspiration of their presence will give the vigor of
triumph to the first blow of the fight.
