q Canyinc The War into Africa.' y

Under this pompous, high. sounding and alarming
caption the Enquirer Of yesterday startes the world
with the that il has fairly entered the
ring" and means shortly to cry havoc!" and lei
slip the dogs OF upon all creation II ntimates
that the Fillmore party. North and Soath, viii re-
ceive no quarter at its hands We presume il is to
be cut to pieces by that dagger" of which it made
such vain-glorious boast during the Gubernatorial
campaign. At any rates, the Enquirer has sworn to
dsnolish it and to scatter it to the four winds OF
heaven. and we know it will be done. We feel, just
in anticipation of the horrible fate that is threatened
us, as if We were already blown up. But what the
DIS the use Of humane and merciNil man soaring
body to death in this way Why don't You APP
ply your little "bodkin, and put an end to him At
oncey DO kill US neighbor, and let us so along
home TO rest
But we modestly suggest to the Enquirer that il
had better waited until the Fillmore men asked for
quarter before it thus menaced them with refusal,
and, consequently, with total destruction. AS for
ourselves, neither nor hereafter have we any
favors to ask. We ready to meet you at Phil
lppi every day until after the election in November
And if there are more Philippi's than one we pro-
mise to meet YOU at all As Tor Africa, we know that
is a pretty warm country; but the weather being
monsrouS Arican-like in these parts at present that
makes no particular difference Wen be in Africs
when YOU get there
But the most amusing part Of the Enquirer's arti
Gle is that in which it says that the public have not
failed to observe the remarkable odndor ioih hieA
the Democratic press is conducting this edRrass.
Angels and ministers Of grace, defend us We god:
and little fishes, why don't You pity MS The re-
aarkdJle caador " Of the Democratic press And
this declaration, too to from paper that ha.
exhibited less Of that virtue than any other in the
land To give an instance of the remarkable can
dor of the Enquirer, select the following from
article in the column from which the one
commenting on is taken, and in relation TO Mr.
Fillmore, which reads thus
Except in empty, deIusipe, hypoeritieal pretts
sioHs, he (Fillmore) is Black RePubliedn-suO
ioorse- fer he is also Kaotc-N Nothing"
There is a fair exhibition of the "reHarkdJle can
dor " Of the Richmond Enquirer, at all times ans
under all circumstances. Now, we wish to put thi,
question Ia the candid reader III the Enquire
thus characterizes Mr. Fillmore when in n mood o
" remarkable ea"dor," how do you suppose it woul,
characterize him when in spirit of unfairness /
1t be thus in the green tree, what will il be in tn,
dry ; In word, if it speaks thus of Mr.. Fmor,
in the commencement Of the canvass with its pas
sions in Iepose, what will the Enquirer not say o
him between this and the election and when undo
| the influence of excitement
In conclusion, let any man trust to the Enquirer
" remarkable candor" in this canvass, and the FL,
Quirer will be the first 10 laugh at him as a very re
markable fool. Without meaning any disrespect, W.
had just soon trust to the Devil to show us tn
way TO Heaven. Candor is not, and never has been
one of the Enquirer's infirmities-the Enquirer
Professions to the contrary notwithstanding
