W0ULD YOU Y0TEs a G.aLNS1 .AfE
ron THAT PILE-DRIDERp.

8 JvoULD YOU HoTEs a GaINsT ME.
ron THaT PILE-DRIpERp' '
j This we understand to be the language in
which one Of the democratic candidates for the
State Senate-.W. w. King, Esq. has election
eered against one Of the wing candidates for the
Senate, Capt. James Davis.
Would you vote against me for that Pile
Driver" You are very pathetic and very mod
est, Mr. King; but we must, even if we lacerate
your sensitive dignity and self-appreeiation, as
sure you that host aciN vote against you and
for ",that Pile Driver" Capt. James Davis.
The democratic candidate for the Senate &c DER
steps the modesty Of his nature in making the
labor Of Woodworking man term of con-
temptuous designation-and to a man of larger
interests in the city than himself.
1t is true that Capt. James Davis is pile
driver, and does not think hard, honest labor
the least in the world reproach to him. He
knows very we'll that hard work has made him
the possessor of character, influence and public
respect. He has by his whole life proved him
self hard working man, and will be such in the
Legislature Mr.. King certainly is yersed in
IF {
legal niceties, ETC., of which &c that Pile Dri-
yer " knows nothing; but in clear, practical.
common sense knowledge of every day matters,
Of public interests and the wants of the people,
Capt. Davis is, we think, as certainly vastly his
superior. We hope Mr.. King will not deem us
personal, insulting OF abusive if we present the
g Pile-Driver as his social equal, not to be
compared with him in legal knowledge, but
greatly stronger than he in every day common
sense. Capt. Davis is, we are confident, even
more liberal than Mr. King, as we expect he
would not object to recognize any respectable
lawyer as a very decent and respectable sort of
candidate, even against ssPile- Driver Mr..
King, himself, is what Mr.. Soule certified g Mr.
Hebert - is, g a man of education and of char
acter,'' but he will pardon us if we say that
such remarks are not in the good taste we should
expect from him, and that &C that Pile Driver )"
may, without offence &c stand between his nobil-
ity and the wind,'' even though he be not per-
fumed in the aristocratic essence of profession
Capt. Davis is a clear-headed, well-informed
public-spirited, practical man, and could say
more in ten words about levees internal i'm
provements, etc, than Mr. King could in one
thousand
Another of Mr.. Kings electioneering pleas is,
that he killed off that terrible freeater, Soule,
and that now, as the friends of his distinguished
victim wish to kill him (Ning). the wings should
come in to his rescue. We cannot see that the
wings owe him any gratitude in the premises,
unless he killed Soule off for their special bene-
6t. If he did, he can come into the wing
ranks-put himself under bonds to cease play
Ing Jack the Giant killer-and bide his time
for promotion to Office
So much, by way of Introductory to the fol-
lowing communication from one of our most re-
spectacle citizens
Editors Crescent
" Who killed Cock Robin -=
I, says (King) the Sparrow,
With my bow and arrow,
killed Cock Robin.' =.
Some have the idea wings soft that they will
vote for any warrior who will kill enemy, that their
special services for the country demand of the wings to
rally around democrats and elect them State Senators
individuals who voted against the consultation are now
whining around the District Courts begging wings to res
them from the defeat that awaits them from the
Soue partytheir only chance of being in the
of the wings and the desertion The latter
from their candidates especially the Pile D,frer''
They are equally plainye in their song the natural
ICED citizens for their votes after having voted to di.fan
chise them And find them seeking acquaintance
the very individuals soliciting the votes of those whom
they voted to deprive Of the rights privileges of
citizens. i
Such things amusing to wings. The ocos see their
defeat, and the wings laugh in their sleeves at them
They they can't be elected without whig votes md
they wont be elected mth them, certain
