D@T TRE Portsmouth Tribune { Hin.

doo)is prodigiously pleased with the re-.
suit Of the Charter and Township Elec.
tion in that place on the I'd inst. 1t is
mere matter Of taste, perhaps; but we
think that such exultation comes with a
very bad grace from Bro. MAcFARLASD
and men like him.
The Portsmouth Tribune supported
General Scorr for the Presidency in
1852, and, we believe. was favoro Bile to
his nomination in ls4S. have no file
Of the Tribune, but, il my memory serves
me right, its Editor inserted several arti.
cles in the course Of the Scott Preside on.
tial campaign. Indignantly repelling the
charge Of Nativism against the Hero ;
several articles. also. eulogistic Of nat.
uralized foreigners, agreeably seasoned
with the "rich Irish 5rogue." and the
"ssoeet German accent" Hand me the
csmphor !! The Tribune also publish.
ed something from General Scorr. high.
ly laudatory Of the behavior Of the Irish
soldiers in the Mexican War, tho sense
Of which was, that they were better troops
than the Americ ans themselves. And.
as If this were not enough to vomit
vulture, the Tribune brought forward the
"Catholic Test" clause in the Constitu.
tion Of New Hampshire, and urged tha,
PIERCE and the locofocos were hostile to
tho Ancient Church. because they. as tho
dominan, party, permitted the offensive
test to stand. After having published ell |
this and much moro. the Tribune, with
no more compunction than an Algsrine Q |
pirate, falls to assaulting the very class
that so lately it was trying to 5la-ney in |
a style that beat "Old Tippenry" all |
hollow.
Some people have need Of long nom.
ories, or there is no truth in the proverb.
