America Z Or the G Old Fogiess'
II will be reconected that recently some re-
1 markably fast young men obtained control
Z Of the Democratic Review; and, conceiyine
themselves profeients in the cut and thrust
practioe, set to work, with the most desperate
energy. to annihilate certain gentlemen, who
Z were guilty Of the sin of growing old, and con-
yicted Of the crime of having ssdone the State
some service
a 10 tlis5end these e fast young men styled
their selected adversaries .sOld Fogies'' The
designation had an abrupt novelty in its sound,
and soon, Cass, Buchanan, Marcy, Butler, ETC.,
gentlemen who had previously stood upon their
past and its fame, as upon an eminence, in full
view Of the White House, became enveloped in
the misty saggestiyeness of this underlined Old
Fogyism. and were ordered to be rated as re-
tired supernumeraries. They were plainly and
sobstinately long lived; and C Young America.
had d proper horror Of such villainously strong
constitutions and laboriously builded up repu-
tations
The walls of Congress caught the echo, and
$ Young America and Old Fogyism' became
accredited terms in the political vocabulary
Long debates revolved upon them, and 6 Young
America" complacently saw that the Mysterious
indefniteness Of 6 Old Fogyisn'' was rapidly
puzzhng the popular mind into shapeless suspi-
zion Of old and trusted agents, Young
America started with large capital of promi-
SEES and self praise, and argued the immediate
more substantial property Of candidacy and
power. He had worn frocks, and sitten in the
child's high chair at the public table, long
enough, and now he claimed emancipation, coat
and brecches of official fashion, and the privi-
lege Of carving up that fat goose, the public,
reserving the tit bits for himself.
The issuewas to be concluded at the Baltimore
Convention of the democrats and now, the
question is. who triumphed, g Young America s.
Or + Old Fogyism n
We say decidedly, g Young America" We 4
our conclusion; and we ask any
sensible man to disproye it, if he can.
i Where is Cass Where Buchanan? Where |

of rejected aspirants, discarded suitors of that

ca" the incarnation of striped pants, a cooked
1T, and inseparability from cocktails and
ing mines. Young Americas speeches parti-
llarly when he spoke in the person of Rep
ON California; were always to us suggestive
spirited feeling.
So, we conclude that 's Young America" has
He'd some five ors six of the most inyeterate
fogies,'' and buried his dead. We hope they
ere all decently cofined in resolutions of the
ost proper respect. In the flush of his first
iumph, Young America may very well have
forded to be liberal and magnanimous, and
e we'll we'll know he &c don't care copper for
.penses,n but, like any other gentlemanly
is willing to be thought genteelly
lreless of substantial matters.
g Young America has effectuaily inundated
le Old Fogies,' and in the very mockery of
'ngefulness sets up one of them--one most
spected for years and services--as train
,arer, q political man Friday, to one with less
an one tenth Of his services and, probably of
$ ability.
We beg g Young America . to be moderate
Id merciful. We hope he will order no speedy

'nfdent none Of them ever will be guilty of the
time of doing too much g service to the State,''

nmortal, he may be guilty Of growing old l
hen, he will be an Old Rogy"; and the new !
aneration Of g Young America faithful in n,

lace their old men in lonely places to die,
aying only one flesh pot, the resolution of

oted of age and venerableness, to his latter f
