hit HIM AGAIN-HE's GOT NO
FRIESDS

Upon opening our eyes, yesterday morning, we
saw the following in the National MieiHgencsr:
The Wings OF Massachusetts.
We happy to perceive, by the following
call for State Convention, and comments there
on by the Boston Courier, that the Wings Of
Massachusetts, taking fresh heart apparently
from the important result OF hasty rally by the
Wings of Maine, are determined to be in the
field under their own proper name at the ensuing
election for State officers in Massachusetts. BY
this course, if they accomplish nothing more con
sequential, they will at least have maintained
their own self-respect. We do not doubt that
they viii, in the end, have Just reason TO con
gratulate themselves At this determination.
Since the defeat Of Know nothiugsm every
where, for even III Kentucky tile majority of the
party was 50 reduced as almost to Justify us in
termng il deieat) from every quarter comes a
blow ut the harmless trunk of Sam. With no
respect to the memory Of his gallant but brief
career, which seemed for time to clectrify his
followers and 10 paralze his opponents, the
former are ungraciously, and with equivocal
emulation striving 10 see who renounce
him the soonest. They spring from him as if he
was the impersonation Of pestilence. Even our
respectable contemporary, the National InteHi-
gencer, is trying to play the Brutus to this dead
Caesar, as thus it inserts its genteel and dignifed
stietto under his fifth rib. Tread lightly Ger
the ashes Of the dead, kind neghbor, for know
| that all must come TO this at last The tall, the
wise, the reverend head must lie as low as his
You ''are happy to perceive that the yhigs of
Massachusetts," inspired by 'hastg rally Of the
| Wings Of Maine are determined to be in the field
under their Orr PROPER NAME at the ensuing
| election
| Alas poor Sam, this was the unkindest cut
! Of all, and there are now none so poor TO do
| you reverence And even your name taken
| from you-your most improper name Man
truly is Of few days and full Of trouble but to
learn this great celebrity with neithera local hab
tation or name is scarcely less gracious TO him,
| than just to posterity. We congratulate our
neighbor upon his return to his first love and
hope he will, as he grows older, prove less sus-
ceptible 1t is very unbecoming in one who is
reaping the fruits of q half ccntury's service

LP We had occasion a few DAYS since to
make some comments upon the condition of our
city. We take the following from the National
InttiigencT of yesterday, without knowing
whether it is meant as reply to our suggestions
of Saturday. We re-state that from Willards', by
the Union Buildings, Theatre and generally along
Z. street to the General Post Office Department
our olfactories have been salufed by the most
offensive smells, bad enough 10 generate the vel
low fever. We could name many other points
and localities in the other wards of the city As
to the statement Of the InisHigenccr "that the
city of Washington is even more healthy at pre-
sent than is usual at this season Of the year" we
assurances from several, Of precisely the reverse:
at is worthy Of remark that the city Of Wash
ington is even more healthy at present than is
usual at this season of the year. We make this
statement on the assurances OF several of our most
skilful physicians. We may also add as a simple
act of justice TO the Mayor, that measures several
weeks since adopted by him for the publication
Of the city making their effects manifest; and
that, considering the unpayed or imperfectly
paved character Of our streets, the absence of a
bountful supply Of water, and the persistent,
vllagc-ke habits Of many Of our people, who
often act in total disregard Of sanitary regula-
tons, the city is in general in a very good condi-
ton. Whoever, therefore, shall deem il his duty
TO dissent from this opinion, and to censure the
Mayor or any other officer for the omission of a
duty in this particular, must in common Justice
be prepared TO do so by pointing out the precise
localities on which his censures shall be founded
IL is only in this form that they can reasonably
be expected 10 lead to good results"
