which preys upon his mind, and demands
vent, fer never before have we seen the editor
of any organ ut Washington, good luck or bad
luck, full pockets or empty pockets, stamp his
feet, blaspheme, and tear his hair at such awful
rate es this wretched man Ellis. In late jere-
miad, OVERLOOKING with wrath and froth, he gets
of the following among other frighsful and
desperate explosives =" Prince of political
hucksters;n ''blaek mail mercenary;" weather
cock" " incarnate fend;'' "caoes and cow
hides p ''malicious slanders;" "splenesic ex-
cresceDce of humanity" whats that p money
king;'' "hero Of the Dry Dock Bank;;' "Presi-
dency at public auction" purchase presses"
"New York Albany, PitAbnrg, New Orleans
manufacture public opiuion;" newspaper scrib-
blers = political hirelings !" "disgraceful
schemes ''bags of gold" And yet this unfor.
tunate lunatic is not provided with !. strait
jacket.
There is, however, sopac method in this mad
ness Like Hamlet, Master Ellis +" can tell
hawk from y handsaw when the wind is Nor
Nor Eaes" Like some other political hacks
and party organ grinders, this amiable and
pleasant fellow at Washington has crow to
pick with "Live Oak George" 1t appears that
the indignation of the Washington Sentinel,
the Albany atlas, and the New York Euening
Post, at the bare idea of naming George Law
for the Presidency, may be traced to certain
loans of hard cash asked of Mr.. Law in
behalf of these journals and their respective
Presidential schemes, and which loans, for
reasons best known to himself, Mr. Law
declined to make. We understand that the
bland, heightened, patriotic, aud disinterested
Vespasian Ellis belongs to this list. Some
years ago, OF his return from South America,
he came upon "Live Oak George" with
splendid scheme for o mighty speculation
being nothing more nor less than the establish
ment of line Of steamers to run upon the
great river Oronoco. Ellis applied to Law for q
good stiff subscription to the stock in this en-
terprise. With Laws name, and cash to back
it, there was mo such word as fail" But
being practical man, "Live Oak George"
had no money for the Oronoco He could make
better investments nearer home. To be sure,
there was a great demand for sarsaparilla in
the United States, and large supplies on
the Oronoco but Live Oak George"
thought it would hardly justify line of steam
ers, and SO the project of Ellis fell through.
How, then, could Ellis be expected to second
the nomination of "Live Oak George" for the
Presidency, after refusing this profered part
nership in the sarssparilla business of the
Orouoco?
The fact is that all these " venal Politician"
of the Albany Atlas, New York Evening Post,
and the Washington Sentinel. and the Know
Nothing organ there, are opposed to George
Law from the same great fundamental princi-
pie" he had money and they had none"
But he had none to lend them. In contrast
with these men, the case of Thurlow Weed ex-
hihits him as man of extraordinary magnani-
nifty and honor.
For the sake of the American cause, it is to
be hoped that the Know Nothing proprietors of
their organ at Washington will transfer Vespa-
sian Ellis to Kansas, or some other frontier
place, where his belligerent propensities may
have fell vent among the half-breeds and
border rufians !" and that some new and
rational editor may be provided in his place.
Otherwise, from the juggling game Of Ellis
with Wilson and Seward, the Know Nothing
party will be inevitably swamped in the South.
