OF posture master and clown, SO happily
united in one individual, and we must
congratulate our Pizerinctum friends up-
on the valuable acquisition which they
have made in the person of Colonel Bur
row to their troupe of performers But
although t...s-
| A little nonsense and then,
Is relished By the wisest men,
we Go not think our readers are quite SO
fond of the ridiculous, as to be willing to
dwell always upon absurdities Col. Bur
row, In this gem of epistolary correspon-
denee, expatiates with much JUNCTION upon
an imaginary majority of ten thousand
votes, which he thought Conway would
secure As this issue between Col. B. s
sagacity and the VIII of the people, has
already been decided, we need net refer
any further TO this exhibition of the
elector at large's arithm etical powers.
The "gallant Colonel puts the cap
sheaf upon his pile of nonsense and false
hood, by intimating that there is a possi-
bility that the American party South can
be induced to lend their support to Ere
mont. Considered in any light from
which the unprejudieed mind may choose
to view this slur upon hundreds of thou
sands of good and true men. it betrays
such an utter degradation of principle,
that We are at loss for language with
which 10 characterize this miserable shift
of desperate and dcpraved political trick
ster
Assuming falsely that the American
party North have declared themselves in
favor of Fremont, Col Burrow insinuates,
as we said before, that the American par
ty South, can, in view of some remote pos
sibility, of which his fertile and corrupt
imagination alone could have conceived,
be induced to coalesce with the Black
Republicans and endeavor to secure the
election of Fremont to the Presidency
In order that Mr. Fillmore's friends
may not be misled by the specious and
designing arts of this reckless denagogue,
we republish this week an extract from
Mr. Fillmore's Albany speech -conceiv-
ing that nothing more viii be necessary
fully and completely to convince them Of
the unequaled baseness and nlalignancy
Of the inputation above referred to, as
enlanating from a professed and acl,nowl-
edged leader of the opposition forces--
We can, without any fears for the result,
now dismiss Col Burrow to such reiec-
tions as may suggest themselves to him,
when he comes to consider the part which
his inordinate ambition has prompted him
to play in this campaign The 'Escber
second thought viii very probably inform
him that he has made gross mistake in re-
sorting to covert and cunninglywoTded
SANDERS, to enhance his reputation for
political sagacity, or bolster up the decli-
ming political fortunes of those whom he
so abjeetly serves after ''their own sweet
way" His prophecies will be falsifed,
his suggestions will turn out to be moth
ing more than the distortions of distem-
pered brain and he will find himself con-
signed to that merited obscurity, which is
the inevitable fate of the political charla-
tan, who, having neither consistency OF
principle to recommend him to the sup
port of the party to which he may tempo
rarily attach himself, or sufficient honesty
of purpose to save himself from the con
tempt of his foes and the mistrust of his
friends, is always, by the same convenient
rule which caused him to be thrust for
ward, compelled to retire at the very mo-
ment, when he most fondly dreams Of
erasping the prize, to gain which, he so
eagerly sacrificed all that d man should
hold dear.
Again, we would say to our friends,
that the canvass being fully and fairly
opened. it behooves them to work earnest
ly, to secure the triumph of their prlncl-
pies We have abundant evidence that
all will be well; and keeping in the right,
let us go on in the good cause, and our
flag, with Fillmore and Donelson, the
Union and the Constitution, inscribed
proudly upon it, will wave over US in vic
tory-while the bleak winds of November
will howl funeral dirges over the mortal
remains of the opposition.
