political pilgrimage last fall, the object OF
which was, suppose, to drive General
Butler from his own SOIL to dishonor him at
home, by fastening upon him corrupt
political intrigue. But he failed in his OBJ |
jcct; and came back and bought partisan
paper for the campaign; and, with no names /
at the masthead, that Review is now pur-
suing a course as fatal 10 the Democratic
party as it is false and unfair
And, Mr.. Chairman, the Washington
Union, our great Democratic organ at the
seat of Government, comes out agin the
Democratic Review about as hard as Mr..
Breckenridge. Jest hear what it says -
"And last, but not least, among the numer-
Gus organs which create dssension and
promote discord, is the Democratic, Review.
| This periodical, once SO elevated in its Oh
iects descends to the level of mere faction
and opens its batteries upon all the promi-
net members of the Democratic party who
happen not to suit the taste Of the Editor"
The Union party goes OH to give the Demo-
cratic Review good drubbng; il says the
attack upon Gineral Butler was uncalled for,
and is insulting 10 the people Of Kentucky:
and the Uuion stands up for the class Of old
Fogies like man. But as Gineral Butler
is such disputed candidate, perhaps we had
better pass along to the next.
Chairman. Well, there's the old hero of
San Jacinto left, Gincral Houston. of Texas;
what say you to him? He's said Ito be great
favorite with the Democracy and has u
good deal of the grain of old Hickory about
him. What's the reason we cant all har-
monize upon him? Gentlemen will please
to speak their minds.
Solomon Jones, Grader at the upper cor
ner.) Mr.. Chairman, old Sam Iouson's 5

country, giving temperance lectures and ma
I king temperance speeches, and | solcmnly

V Chairman. Well, gentlemen, we've been
