The true Democrat., 1855-10-02
An Editorial Peddler.

When it was rumored some weeks ago, that the "junior' editor of the know nothing or gan at this place had gone to the southern coun- ties of the State, much curiosity and excite ment was manifested to know what caused the movement of parsonage so important at that critical period.
 Itwas at time when the oRDER," burning with an "intense American teehng," was in high glee, encouraged and elated to an excess of ju- bilation by the recent pronuncianucnto' of the HERO OF GREYTowN.'' The democratic par ty was pronounced to be "eGte' if not actually dead.
 Mingling with our democratic friends in the contagion of the alarming excitement, we did not escape its malign influence. We felt that some mighty disaster impended over us.
 What couM he go for? We vainly asked, and vainly sought satisfactory answer. We knew the "Junior'' was no orator as the Senior is. Therefore, we felt sure he had not gone on !" speaking campaagaa." On that score we felt no danger for we presumed he had relinquish. ed all pretensons in the oratorical line. At least, vain glorious as he is, he would not dare to mount the rostrum so recently trodden by the illustrous Yell. Let it not be supposed, however, that we would even intimate that the :" "Junor,' at ID time of his life, had aspi- ratlons as popular On the contrary, we have reason to believe that when he first stalked into the field of politics, his maoIesty, Ierhaps in too tlattering tone. whispered Mat was the lime he must pursue for future dstinc- tlon. But if su oh were the aspirations of the "Junior" we knew he was bound to fail; for we had seen him on two occasions, with the os- tentatious confidence always accompanying stu pidity, attempt to address a democratic conven- tion, and each effort was doomed to signal and ignominious defeat
 Indeed, on one occasions alluded to, the "Ju- niol" made complete breakdoa0n, occasioned by his not being able to read the handwriting of a friend who had written out some GRAND RE" SOLUTIONS for the Junior to present and enforce before the convention. So we were sure the Junior had not gone south as speaker; the young ICARUs will trust his wings no more.
 What did he go for? We were forced to give it up.
 In this state of harrassing doubt and suspense, a correspondent opportunely comes to our re- lief, and lifts the veil that enshrouds the mys- tery of the "Junior's" exodus 70! most lame and impotent conclusionn Humbly, we "ockno.oledge tue co,m;;" and, if we could, would boldly deny that we ever cared what he went for. Shall we say it? Itmust out! THE "JU- NIoR" WENT ON PEDDLING TR1P!!!
 Thus relieved, we breathe more freely, and noW we don't believe we were ever much scar ed or excited as to the whereabouts of the "Junlor'' of the Gazette.
 A little ashamed, as we now feel of our ri- dicuous fears, we would fain forbear any fur ther allusion to the "Junior's" pilgrimage, but 1t is due to the public excitement, previously re- ferred to, that should specify particularly the character of his mission and the chattels that composed the 'puck'' of the "juveuc' peldcr.
 Unlike other "penpotehc'' hucksters of the order" who usually carry an assortment for all their customers, the "Junior's" pack was filled with but one article
 This Is the information we have reccivcd- The Gazette doubtless being more abundantly supplied with editorial materials than the :" si- neWs of acar," the Scnior with great kindness to the know nothngs, temporarily dispenses with the services of the "Junior;" and, forth with, he is dispatched to the southern counties ritual in hand, with load of "know nothing charters" where it was supposed an intense American Jteeling' prevailed, and that they would go off like " hot caAes'' being dog g-cheap at the paltry price of ($llD say eleven dollars per charter.
 Our correspondent further informs us that the " Juniors'' luck in this, his mercaete de- bW, was most discouraging, and to speak in common parlance, he was "6udly pl1gueI' at his failure.
 For the pecunary prosperity of the "Junior," we feel sorry that he found his charters so dull a sale, and that know nottingham in the south, like the democracy of the "hcro of Grey town," had become "e1ee''
 Fie! fife! Junior, with all the prestige of an "intcnse American feelng" and the broad area of the "NATIoNAL PLATFoRM' to aid you, you have not done half 50 well as the emssary sent south last spring. in the days of secret oath bound know nothingism
