The s'pper" ofthe Fitchburg Revie,has be.
gun blow up his wind-bag, and tune his chanters
and otherwise prepare make music for the Sting"
which the Massachusetts Wings expected 10
dance at the fall election. He played specimen
preIGe on Wednesday, which was in admirable
keeping with the strains he used to indulge in, pre-.
vious to his appointment Assistant Clerk Of the
Senate, when, in consequence of the avidity with
which he gnawed at the official bone thrown 10 him,
he had not much inclination growl.
His leader Of Wednesday vas, to parody a simile
OF Peter Pnder, like two BLACKBOARD leaders rolled
into one. 1t was a production worthy Of a cur in
the dog days. 1t was censorious without reason,
abusive without truth, and critical without wit. 1t
was, IN short, an admirable example of Wing talent,
temper, and propriey, in these latter days. The
Wings Of Fitchbuig should be congratulated on hav
ing an organ which represents, IN the most perfect
manner, the Wing party it is. When the Wings
repudiated their antisavery principles and descend.
ed TO their knees TO eat southern dirt they no longer
dared 10 use the language of manly men. Brave,
true words, which from brave, true hearts,
departed from heirlips, and the classical vocabua.
ry Of rowdyism took their place. With perhaps two
or three exceptions, the Revile excels all its con-
temporaries in the vlgor and vieness of its slang
We will cnl few ''roses' from the Billingsgate
bouquet, which it presented to its readers last
Wednesday. Weknow that they must be odious to
eyes and ears polite, but as the Evolutionary fiction
about Wing gravity, emnence land dignity still finds
few believers, il s sometimes necessary confront
it with such facts as are furnished by Wing organs,
Isba niscb;a Inc
ing of the probable action of the bunker Democrats,
at the fall election, Piper says:
"Ask any one Of these men, or their leaders VIII.
kinson, Stetson, Wales, Austin, Barsow, or ffty
others could name, il he cacuatse to give his
vote this fall, TO the benefit OF the late
Chairman Of the Buffalo Conventon-the boon COM
panlon OF George Thompson, NJ. P, from the Tow.
er Hamlets, London, Jack Hale, WIN. L. Garrison,
Wendell Phillips, aad the whole posse Of fanatics
who pronounce the Constitution OF our Union to be
ga covenant with Hell!''
The baseness of the rhetoric Of the above quota
ton is only surpassed by the baseness of the false
hood which it it is intended to convey; but baser
than both is the from which they emenated.
The editor OF the Reve congratuates himself on
his prospects Of reelection to the sub cerkship of
the Senate, in the following pious style:
he uFtslou oi the wing party which so long
weakened and distracted us, as it gave rejoicing and
encouragement 10 our Janus faced opponents, thank
God! rs IN the deep bosom Of the ocean buried!'"
And to sustain himself and his patrons in hope,
he exclaims:
"Fhe next point Of encouragement is in the fact,
that all the larger places Of the State have been
wronged, insuted, and outraged, in the debates and
results OF the late piebald Constitution tmkering
Convention"
That is general statement; but the Revile be-
comes very explicit in relation to Boston:
$50 far as the vote upon a Constitution, disfran.
chisng four out Of every FIVE of her citizens is con-
cerned, we expect an almost unanimous negative Of
al parties, except the abolitionsts, who would re-
Joce to see that city and all its people except its few
"long' heeled" fanatics, sink beneath the waters of
the Atantic!''
Previous to ls4s, the Wing party was represented
by men Of genius, dignity, and talent; Ii is repre-.
senied now by such mentay.and dignity as rave in
the columns ofthe Revile. sOh what falling off
is there's Once, an eagle was ito symbol; now, ii
is an owl.
