Little Petersburg in a Passion.

terrible passion which has upset the reason and udg

Presidents message there, as he did To Richmond
New York, Philadelphia, Baltimore and New Or
leans. Was there ever such nonsense? The idea
OF Petersburg wishing to be placed on an equal foot
ing with the immense cities we have named The
thing is preposterous. Why, we dare say the Post
master-General never in all his life, heard of such
place And who did, that lives over fifty miles
from it, We suppose your little tournament was
gotten up with view to bring your village some
what to the notice of the public at distance If so,
it was a most humiliatng failure. Everybody laugh
ed at your bungling attempt to impose upon the
world in that way, and everybody We meet with is
still cachinatng over the same unsuccessful joke
We therefore admorish neighbors Of the Intel
tigeneer the Democrat, and the Express not to lei
their angry passions rise, for their little hands were
never made to tear big cities eyes-and especially
big RichmonG's." When your little place puts
aside the swadding clothes of an infant, and don.
