Andrew Stewart.

One of the peculiar characteristics of the un-
constitutional organization recently established,
is that it seeks the support, and courts the COM
mendation of the exploded offal, that once hung
their hungry hopes on the banner Of the Whig
party. Of this fact, there are not wanting abun-
dant instances. Among the most recent is the
Harlequin demonstration made In Fsyette county,
by Andrew Stewart, before an American Meeting.
Andrew, incidentally called, about the time the
meeting was being held. albeit, his destination
was elsewhere, than :" Mount Washington" He
spoke speech, in which he disgorged the accu-
mulated bitterness of years. He falsfed history
Distorted facts, and tore the " tarpaulin " from
the scalp of the first vagrant who sounded the raj
lying cry of Know-Nothingism, and incontinently
mounted it upon his "gourd"
This fellow Stewart, once disgraced the Halls
Of Congress. He now indulges in the luxury of
private life and only breaks out in public demon
strations, for the purpose of having his meanness,
and his mendacity, kept in enduring remem-
brauce

n ew Countias.

The N Y. Herald, in discussing upon
another hope. thus incidently hits the nail on
the head. in the matter of getting up new
counties:
9 In the old Atlantic States when the little
country politicians find themselves thrown out
they start up the project of new 'county-and
they get new county, with its court house,
and all the officers of a county. Thus the
counties are increasing in all the larger States
of the Union. In Virginia for example, many
of the counties have been divided and subdi-
vided into new counties. until the people find
it hard to pay their taxes but still they are
always in favor of new county, new county
seat and court house of their own. 1t gives
them some Importance in the world and the
spoilsuaen lead the way.

There is no Fool 80 Great as the Fool-hardy

folly, and their rashness. can only claim from
their fellowcitzens the tear of pity, the sneer
Of contempt. Pity, for their grovelling NANTES

the rest of mankind, down to the standard OF
their own folly.
We have been led to .he foregoing reflections
from consideration Of the circumstances which

ourselves the right Of controlling the conviction
of Others, We repel, with scorn, any attempt by
whomsoever made, to manacle the freedom of

a while upon what must necessarily be the ultl-
