The Kansas Herald, and its Lordly Ball.

That break themselves !; or like waves against
rock.
That leave no sign Of their ridiculous fury
But foam and spiinters: my innocense like these
Shall stand triumphant, and your malice serve
But for a trumpet to proclaim my conquest;
Nor shall you, though you do the worst fate can,
Howe'er condemn, ALBRIGHT an HONEST MAN"
The mushroom offspring of dirty BROTH
ei, who styles himself "a lordly BULL" but
is better known both here, and in Virgin
ia. as the 'black-guard Pollard, in late
number of the Kansas Herald, furnished
his readers with specimen of his "moth-
er tongue" and showed to the world that
he was either raised in the ''Five Points"
of New York, Bank Alley" of Cincin-
natl, or some other den of vice, where like
language is only used and tolerated.
We are sorry to see the ''verdant' gem
lleman(2) Of the Thumb Paper" allow
his passions to get the better of his judge
ment, and are surprised that person oc-
cupying SO low position in society, as
Pollard has allotted us, could rufie the
temper of such .6right, REsPLEsDENT,
and af-sNySULLIED" gentleman; much
lenay be tfs.l his displeasure to such an ex-
tent as to desire ''hostile meeting" If
ICE looked upon man as slow rufian,"
or contemplate puppy" we should GER
tainly not place eurself upon an equality,
by condescending to fight him. as gen.
tleman!
What would the community think, if we
tell them that this same Pollard who ap-
pears to be "anxious for fight" has
little affair of honor ON hand no,c, that
only awaits his acquiescence to bring
about s.hostile meeting" 1t is even so!
A challenge to mortal combat, is now in
Pollard's possession, from a man named
Phillips, who were we to believe Pollard's
assertion, stands higher in his estimation,
than ourself; but Pollard's discretion in
duced him to decline. And now upon all
this, he has the bare-faced assurance to as
sert that he is willing to fight US. De-
testebte Rascal until you have proven
yourself NOT to be cowardly vilian, do
not dare to place yourself upon an equality
with gentlemen! Were we anxious to de-
mean ourself in the eyes of the public, by
acknowledging this Popin-jay our equal
were We to do the community the injustice
to acknowledge him gentleman, we
might accept the gauntlet thrown at our
feet. But we shall bid him 90 to the
"Pig-sty," where he will find his equals,
or fall back to the lo,o and antamouuh BROTH
Ell, where only such depraived and Jeastly
creatures are ushered into the world! We
fight not the offspring of prostitutes, nor
battle with the detestible "Pole-cat !'' In
the one case should we come off victorious,
we are degraded; in the other, we return
from the field strongly scented with the
odor of skunk
ga MORAL, SENSIBLE, and wELL-BRED man,
l. Will not afront me, and no other CAMP
Looking upon II. Rives Pollard as a
aUit,ning cur, we shall treat him as we do
other dogs. If he keeps out of our way
we shall not harm him, but the moment he
makes hostile demonstrations, or shows his
snarly teeth, in anger, across our path, we
shall attempt to dispatch him.
The .fashy. classical, delicate, and NOR
al productions of the "resplendent and un-
sullied" Pollard, are nothing more than
extracts slightly altered, from the writings,
or speech of some degraded politician
whose only weapon was abuse. Any one
who reads the Herald, cannot but remark
the monotony which characterizes all arti-
cles purporting to emenate from Pollard
pen. He has a sterreotyped appeffation
which he applies indiscriminately to every
one who differs with him, and Pro-Slavery
men. Abolilionists and Freesoilers, through
his warped end discolored glasses, are
looked upon in the same light, and made
to share his abuse. Such man is an in
to jury the cause he processes to advocate.

too insignificant and dirty to notice, We

requires of us to drop this controversy; in
so doing it will prevent US from giving a
history of the crime and degradation which

Virginia.
/ In concluding this article, we close the
controversy on our part, and at the same
time will assure Mir. Pollard, that before
we will condescend to meet him as an
equal, we shall require vouchers as to his
character, and satisfactory explanation
of the cause which led him to shrink from
the danger threatened by Phillips. Then
