Ok. N of the Goth ult.. bestows til
following select Billingsgate upon Nh
MolsE:
"The little man Notes.-The cir
cumcised gentleman from Judea-th
savage little duck legged Jew pedler il
politics who was coming to Minden t.
''smoke the Know Nothipgs out o
their foul dens =" this little gurgling
insignificant creature, who stands black
ened al home and condemned abroad
followed Mr.. Wicklifle on the stand
Is it because Mr.. MolsE has com
mon origin with Mr.. DIsRAEllr, til,
first statesman now in Great Britain
that he is characterized in the above
terms No. it cannot be, for the edi
tor of the Gazette in 1862, was lavish
in his laudation of the same gentle
man, who spoke in Minden in behalf
of the Democratic Presidential ticket
Mr.. Mo1sE has not changed bis poll
tics or his genealogy since that time
The inference is plain. Nothing but
the most wanton partizan malignity
could prompt such scurrility Demo-
cratic Idyocofe.
In 1852 Mr. Noise had not, in ito
say the least of it) bad hsste, poured
out the whole vial of his wrath on the
head Of the American people; or a
large portion of them, who are now
united to endeapoav to correct some of
the fearful evils of the times. He had
not selected from his vocabulary, the
choice epithets recently made use of,
on the stump, to designation rather
if he could depricate those to whom
he owes bis elevation to place. Now,
he is arrayed in unbecomiug hostility
against the American people, and as
he stands fully committed, his days
are numbered. At The present politi-
cal crisis, the policy for Mr.. Noise,
would have been to " keep quiet, "
very difficult thing to do, for one who
speaks well, and likes to hear himself.
At any rate, it would have been more
becoming on the part of Mr.. Noise to
define his o'vn position in reference to
the great questions Of the day, than
to have villified those to whom by vir-
tue of his birth, he cannot become al
lied. The Democrats should have made
selection Of native demagogues; and
there is quite a large company yet
left, to serve them on the stump. The
American ,'eople will permit them
selves to be abused by their own bro
Their and fellow humbugs, but not by
others-as the good time coming will
clearly show.
The SCREW PowER.-Several days
ago, the fact that our s'lented fellow
citizen A. Clute, Esq, had found
way to throw a jet of water, five miles
by means of wed &c and screw,
called for, and received hattcring
notice at our hand. The same fact
was eagerly seized by the city and
country press, and passed round with,
and without comment now it seems,
we were slightly mistaken, as to the
object of the invention, as appears
from the following note from" Screw"
in whose chirography, we recognize,
the bold and manly characters of our
friend Clute himself:

don't intrude, to correct slight error, into

of which you speak, is not to pump water,
it is kind of stomach pump--to pump
