Mr. Richardson is an exceedingly wicked and pro-
fame man. and these characteristics charm the Pierce
and Forney men. Fay Argus.
We are most happy to learn, do from
the above that contemporary of the Argus has
been converted and that hard swearing is now his
utter abomination. But how does he know that
"Mr Richardson is an exceedingly wicked and pro-
fame MANI" Who told him so? Has he been to
Washington recently? Or does he have correspon-
dents in that City of magnificent distances who
stately inform him of such things?
The above from the Argus confirms the rumor
which has been in circulation for week two past,
to the effect that protracted meeting is to be held
by some of the leading and sanity X. KS, at Rome,
during the approaching Spring, with the view of
converting the Pope The understanding was, if
the Pope should be converted that our contemporary
of the Argus would saoear him in as Know Moth
ing but he has declined this part in this great moral
drama, account of aversion, very recently con-
ceived to all kinds of swearing. He will, however,
do up the statistics the OCCASION and hoUt. For
the present. says our contemporary of the Argus,
"our address is Saints Retreat, Cumberland Coun-
ty, N. c."
The President and ourself it is well known, do not
navigate in the same hoy. rag. Argus.
Not so well known as our contemporary imag-
ines. Richmond and portion Of Cumberland may
know it, but that is all. The President if informed
| of the above fact, would most probably say The
Argus did you observe, Sir?-yes; never heard of
that paper before. Its Editor is no doubt very
clever and interesting gentleman but was not aware
that he existed" The truth is, the Editor of the
Argus does not navigate at all-he is only slow
ly drifting up Salt River, by the light of larkan-
term and with prospect before him of long resi-
dence upon the head-watcrs of that famous stream.
Wherever he may drift, however, the stock of anec
dotes which he will take along with him will always
be equal to any bodys stock of provisions and if he
should not be entirely happy and satisfied with him.
SELF at the head of Salt RIVER it will be because
of the presence of "wicked and profane swearers.
! H The Fayetteville Carolinian, noticing the re-
! cent Democratic meeting in Moore County, says:
/ - We are glad to learn that some good men of the
opposite party, in Moore, have enlisted under the
banner Of the national Democratic party, where We
welcome them and all others who wish to promote
the peace and quiet Of the country, by aiding IN the
elevation ofpublic men to Office, and sustaining
| true patriots as Franklin Pierce" is ~
