MORE PU.u.HELLNG OF YOUN-G
AMERICA.


MORE PU.M.NELLNG OF YOUNG
AMERICA.
Young America has received another lick
back. Affer being snubbed by Senator Mason,
rounded by that venerable fogy, Cass, and
+ eoundly cuffed by the Washington Union, here
comes in Senator Clemens, and proceeds forth
with to gouge out the eyes of the bellicose young
warrior. This is peculiarly deplorable catas-
trcphe, somewhat of the nature of the Eft M
Brute outrage. Senator Clemens every body
set down rs one of the very best representatives
of the prominent qualities Of Young America.
He looks the character, and acts it too. Very
youthful, with long locks, inclined to be sopona-
ceous-of pleasant, joyial, rubicund physiog-
Monty, full of of-hand Understanding in poetry
and humor, with decided tendency to cigars
and cognac, and prone to wear half military
cap on the side of his head-we should certainly
have selected Clemens from that venerable and
sedate assemblage of conscript fathers as the
embodiment of the principles and habits of
Young America. Who would pass over Clemens
and light upon that courtly, stern and gloomy
looking individual in the elegant Paris coat,
with glazed boots, rufied shirt, and blazing dia-
mond studs-so formal, polished and CONNIE il
tduf in all his actions and expressions, and pre-.
fer him as Young Americas favorite chief
And yet, so it is-reyersing the tendencies of
their tastes and habitudes, Soule, the polished |
and dainty, prefers to "run wild der machine
whils the rough Alabaman has a decided am |
hition for a higher sphere of respectability
Soule, the aristocratic and conservative, mounts
the fast nag of Progress, whilst Clemens. the
young buster, joys along on slow and o-easy
Old Fogy
To drop all metaphor, we perceive that Mr.
Clemens has made brilliant speech in the Sem
ate, in which he tries to demolish Young Amer. |
ica, the Monroe doctrine, the seizure of Cuba,
ana all the unfortunate ideas of the fast men. |
IN TINS speech, MIR. Clemens administers the
following rebuke to the fast men of the age
