up.
The night brings him to scenes not to be
spoken of. The wages of sin, shared with
him by courtezan, perhaps, is his stake
for the next days operations.
You will not find him running with "ma.
chine" O., no that is too much like
work, and there are too many Tammany
boys, shoulder strikers, and Yankees, for
him to mix in such company. He is a
gentleman, and it might soil his gloves, and
muddy his boots, to pull at the engine.
His great talent is for office, and you Shall
see him always candidate, and as there
is no place that he can fill without disgra,
cling it, so there is no position to which he
does not aspire.
He is formidable man in argument.
He may not have reasons to offer for his
opinions, but he will have arrogance and
assumption. He has ono argument for all
occasions, and with it he will floor a host
ST antagonists It matters little what is
the question in dispute-whether it is the
Senatorship, the Mayoralty, the annexa-
ton of Cuba, or the Nebraska bill He has
one knock-down argument, and that is
enough. 1t is the bug bear of abolition
ism. You shall have warred against abo-
litionism all your life, it matters not You
shall here assent to all that chivalry de-
mands, or you will be denounced as an alb
olitionist. IT'S the great argument on all
occasions, and you must vote for laws that
yon know are unconstitutional-yo must
vote for men whom you loathe and despise,
or else you shall hear the cry of abolition
at your back, and pack of hounds at your
heels shall hunt you into retirement.

of the new Spanish government has had sever

him that the Spanish cabinet will do its best to
settle al matters of difference having pecun-

expect any greater satisfaction than in the fact
that the impeached government at whose hands
Spanish subjects have also suffered injustice,
has been driven out by popular rising. AS

ChiVaIrV.

30, Liberty, what crimes have been
committed in thy name !' Such was the
language of Madame Roland at a time
when chivaly was not the degraded term
! it is at present. Were she alive now, she
might well exclaim-"O, Chivalry! what
vile meannessis committed IN thy name !''
The chi3aFous man in our day is one
who has reduced villainy to system. He
is devoid of the daring qualities of the
highwayman, and gains by ;mpudence and
shameless effrontery what the robber takes
/ by force. He labors not for he has been
taught to desPse labor, and those who per-
form it. He was made to believe that he
was born to rule, and that others were
born to serve him. Hence, he believes
himself born to hold office. You shall see
the chivalry parcelling out every office
among themselves, and if they get them
not you shall hear them railing with a
hearty zest at the id puritanical Yam
KEGS. You shall ask one for the names of
the Presidents, and he will tell you
George Washington, Napoleon Bonaparte,
Andrew Jackson and Stephen A. Douglas.
His knowledge comes by intuition, and
hence he never learns any thing. He
knows it all beforehand. His name shall
be found on public calls, if so be that he
knows how to write it.
How lives such a man of chivalry and
honor? You shall not hear of his success
full speculation, for his ventures are con~
fined to the monte table. Does he win p
he is the fast man about town for the day,
and horse flesh and rum are both punished
till his gains are gone. Does he lose Pit
is no loss to him, for his stake cost him no
effort. He got it either as charity, on in
the way of loan, or for perjuring himself
as witness or juror. And he has no ne
cessary expenses-at least he never spends
any thing for necessaries. Has he money?
1T is well, and he asks all of his friends
to the bar. Has he none At is still well,
for he watches round bar-rooms, and all
ways has something important to saw to
any one making signs for drink. He be.
lieves that he honors a laboring man, a
merchant, or lawyer by consenting to
drink with him-and for good reason, for
is he not d descendant of one Of the First
Families !!
1t shall be an insult to be wiped out in
blood, to question. the honor of this pink Of
pure chivalry. Yet he shall cheat his
clearinghouse keeper or washerwoman
with as much sang .froid as his more re-
spectacle and daring neighbor would pick
a pocket He will think it good joke to
see his landlady turned out of doors from
inability to pay her rent, because of his de-
linquency, and the female eld, who scrubs
at the wash tub to make precarious living
shall find that the clean linen which she
has prepared has been used to cover vile
carcase.
You shall know him by his strut He
walks with the air of hero-his head
erect, and revolver slung to his body
You shall generally see him with cane
in his hand, and big oath on his tongue
He wears, as general thing, goatee OF
a moustache, and perhaps both. His great
delight is in politics, in which, and in
sponging on men who labor for their sup.

crowd his own Importance and claims te
