MONDAY MORNING, SEPT. 10, 1859
Official Dignity and Check Shirts.

Some of our contemporaries of the press are
berating the President soundly because he
wore check or parti-coIored shirt at a little
sumptuary affair during his recent visit to Vir-
glnia. We see no cause for the cutlery. Con-
sistency is merit in medocrity as well as in
genius or stupidity. The Baltimore Patriot
thus vindicates the President against these
assaults of his censorious critics, and illustrates
the propriety and appropriateness of the iden-
teal apparel for the wearing Of which he is
charged with an offense against good TASTE
sic should have remembered the dignity
Of his station cries one. That is all well
enough, replies the Patriot; but suppose the
station has been already shorn of its dignity,
what then2 Washington would never have
worn check shirt exclaims second. Ali
friend; fortunately the Bowery set no fashions
10 those days, nor were undergarments of that
stripe; and then, again, according to Mrs.
Malaprop comparisons are odorous,' for, GER
tainly President Pierce is no more like Presi-
dent Washington than Hamlet to Hercules
We have been practising the sliding scale since
that august period, and the political tendencies
of the sliding scale have been downwards.-
But only consider the improperly of the
thing says Mrs. Grundy. We can consider
no snch absurdity. We consider that the
check shirt evinced, not merely propriety, but
manifest propriety. 1t was natural execu-
tive out-growth-it was part and parcel of all
that had preceded tit was, in fine, check, or
parti -colored, because it could not be other
wise. The administration is check, or parti-
colored-the bombardment of Greytown was
a check shirt affair. 1t was BOwery exploit,
and might have been followed after each broad
side with collation. of peanuts and bottled
beer The ministerial and consular appoint
lnents, with but few exceptions, indicate a
check shirt policy. The Kansas troubles are,
altogether, the result of check shirt couEsels.
The Cuban backing and flling-the Utah nom
inations and retractions-and the exemplary
iorays In Northern and Southern Mexico, all
indicate that the ruling principle by which
our government is actuated is that of the check
shirt 1t is for this thorough consistency, this
firm determination neither to make broad his
phyacteyy,' nor to rise, even for moment,
above his appropriate level, that we honor
President Pierce. He never surprises US by
aiming at great things, nor are we astonished
at his successful accomplishment of little ones.
True to his antecedents, his administrative
policy eschews frills, furbelows and standing
collars. Pinchbeck jewelry, is, however, adj
missibe, aud with check shirts, and their
congeners, are the appropriate symbols of
what will be significantly denOminated in after
times, the Pierce policy
For our part, we SO admire this Bowery
fashion, that we should be gratifed to learn
that the President, his Cabinet, and all our
public officers, were not merely placed in check
themselves, but were absolutely check-mated.

The next speaksrship of the Senate;


Mr. EDITOR IL have seen in the columns Of
your paper commendatory mention Of the names Of
several gentlemen, members elect of the ensuing
Senate, in connection with the Speakership of that
body. 1t is an important position, and much de-
ponds on the qualifications of the person selected
to I'LL it, to the progress of the business of that
body, and the pleasant intercourse of the members
And without at all detractng from the merits Of
worthy members already brought to the notice OF
the public, you will please permit me to mention
the name of Alfred P. Hall, ESQ., the member elect
from Benton county, man worthy and well
qualified to discharge the duties OF that important
station.
Mr. Hall has served both in the House and the
Senate with marked ability, and to the satisfaction
OF his constituents, is familiar with parliamentary
law, courteous, firm, and impartial and an able
and jealous supporter of the American doctrine.
His elevation to the position above indicated,
doubt not would prove highly satisfactory to each
individual member of that body, and to the entire
American party Of the State. CARROLL
