EPIGRAM.-Dr. Isaac Watts, the
discoverer of the propelling power Of
steam and author Of Pamela, $50 says
Punch, thus satirlzing the ignorance
of legal students WIS charged with
having perpetrated an epigram on the
king, as follows:
Here lies our mutton-headed king.
Whose word 10 man relies on;
He never said a foolish thing,
And never did wise one.'
This was more properly attributed
to Rochester. who had no hesitation
in libelling his bosom friend, Charles
II, aud who had many a spree in COM
.pany-like 'Souter JOHNNY and Tom
o'Shauter.' They had been fou for
weeks thegither;' nothing at all WON

says of "Free Society,"
Free society! we sicken of the name What is it
but conglomeration of GREASY MECHANICS, FILTHY
OPERATIVES, sMALL-FIsTED FARMERS and moon-struck
THEORISTS! All the Northern and especially the
New England States, are devoid of society fitted for
well bred gentleman. The prevailing class one meets
with, that of mechanics struggling to be genteel
and small farmers who do their own drudgery and
yet who are hardly fit for association with southern
gentlemans body servant. This ia your free society
which the northern hordes endeavoring to extend
into Kansas"
The South Side Democrat, another prominent Bu-
chanan paper, in Virginia, abuses everything FREE
after this STYLE
"We have got to hating everything with the prefix
FREE from free negroes, down and up through the
whole catalogue-FREE farms, FREE labor, FREE soci-
ETY., FREE will, FREE thinking, FREE children, and
FREE schools-al belonging to the same brood of
damna6le isms. But the worst of all these abomna-
tions is the modern system of FREE SCHOOLS. The
New Eengland system of free schools has been the
cause and the prolific source of the infdelties and
easons that have turned her cities into Sodoms and
Gomorrahs and her land into the common Nesting
places of bowling Bedlamites. We abomnate the
system because the SCHOOLS ARE FREE"
