We are naturally exultant at the thought that,
notwithstanding the intriyues and Vaccinations OF
his Liliputisn rivals our own glorious EboShn and
Girzar,. Foot Governor is making steady Roadway,
for the Cincinnati nomination, in the hearts of the
people No man on earth ever had farer prospect
if there be anything at all in the various and mu
titudinous signs of the tmcs-of having his amb-
ton gratiiied to the full, in the enjoyment of the
highest honors grateful country can bestow. We
read the E,f2uirer attentively every day, and our
very toe-nails leap with unwonted joy when we Oh
serve that scarcely number ever appears that does
not contain the most gratifying evidences of the
growing popularity of the great Mogul of Accoma"
Only yesterday communication appeared in that
paper with caption nearly mile long, and signed
Jefferson" devoted to the commentator of our
Governors extraordinary virtues talents, and quail
fications and saying with far more truth than poe
try, that she is now perhaps, the most popular man
with the Democratic within the broad limits
of the Unionl" And we believe tive believe it.
Aud not only with the democratic masses" We
beg leave to suggest but with of all parties and
persuasions including our humble selves. We are
his special organ-have long been-and expect al
ways be- unless the denuncations and the yells of
n few Infatuated and silly hnon NothiRgs have
frightened him from his proprety, and caused him
TO determine upon dull, tame, quiet, unexciting
course of life for the future-which, however, our
confidential relations with him authorize to deny
in the most indignant terms. Wespeak only what
we know when we declare, upon our veracty A. a
gentleman and with all the solemnity due to 50
grave and momenCous an announcement that our
woolly head and odoriierous Governor is not dead
but ony sleepeth. lie will soon come forth again
like giant refreshed by slumber, and then the fame
of his nulato" epStle will speedily fade away be
fore something brighter, nober, and more soul
ring than has yet fallen from orators lips or po-
cts pen. We have it. upon the very best authority,
that he is now engaged day and night in maturing a
production that will create prOounder sensation in
the public mind than did the celebrated poem of Mr..
Thingum Bob. 1t WILL we hear, be specially devo-
ted TO scathng criticism of the nefable folly aud
impairment audacity of his biographcr, who it will
be remembered actually represented his Excellency
as a "Baii-log aoih the mIage" We understand
his Excellency will stoutly repe this unfounded inn
putaton and will show most conclusively-to the
entire satisfaction of impartial OF all colorS-
that at mast he never claimed his for
him, to be more than innocent puppy.
We understand further that his forthcoming
ehort-the most elaborate and brilliant of his life
is intended to be exact and faithful portrayal
of all his eccentrices and diocyncraces, interspcrs
cd with curious and interesting reflections to the
probably causes thereof and that he designs this
mastery performance To be taken and received, not
only as imposing contribution to the literature oi
the present age bnt an indignant and living pro-
test to poSte-Ity against the aspersonS and caun-
MES of his biosrapher. We cannot but think, from
all that has reached concerning It, that the pro-
duction alluded to- and in process of incubation,
will inmoralize its author, and excite the admir.l-
ton of all succeeding ages. Thus believing, we
await its appearance with the profOundest impotence
protesting meanwhile that in consequence of the
reciprocaly friendly AMI confidential relations. exist
ing between his Excellency and ourselves we feel
that we have right to partake in measure or the
renown himself shall acquire. We here say nothing
of the aid we have rendered his Exceency, at his
own request, in the composition Of his great work
our moiesty restraints We know highly it
is appreciated, however, by our illustrious friend
and neighbor
We observe in conclusion that our Governors forth
coming document not specially designed to have any
influence upon the deliberations the Cincinnati Com
vendon-;hough it will necessarily make it, appear
ance before that body assemblies. We cannot doubt,
however, that it will add immeasurably to hi,
chances for the nomination, and we believe will most
certainly etfectit We therefore trust that the En-
qairers batch of jealous correspondents will hence
forth spare their efforts in behalf Of Ebo-shin
and Gizzard-foot favorte. He and we together can
very we'll manage matters at Cincinnati And
whether that little concern made up of corrupt and
petty politicians, chooses To nominate him not it
makes diffcrence-we shall take the response
bility Of running him upon own hook. For not
wthstanding what political intriguers may do, we
know, and does every body else with half an eye
that talented, refined amiabc,and distinguished
Governor is the most popular man with the De
mocratic masses within the broad limits Of this IN
ion ~ So let these politicians crack away-the peo-
pie will fire next, and Ebo shin aud Gzzlrd foot will
be triumphant forever
