Senate Fremont had chance to reply
to Foote. Both assaults were for words
spoken in debate, but in the one case
where there, was no chance of Immediate
reply, in the other where there was Both
the assailants were South Caroinians.
Such, then, is the parallel between Ere
mont and Brooks. Which think Won is
the braver man; the more reprehensible
bully; the more reputable geptleman I?
Brooks punished the sanderer of his ma
tive State. Fremont struck the man who
did his public duty in exposing frauds.
Fremoat's quarrel was all for himself.
Brooks struck for his native State.
3 Now, in view of all these facts, does
not every one see that the noisy and
shameless ado of the shriekers in the
Brooks case, is lying humbug, to deceive
the simple, and make political capital out
ola matter with which the Democratic
party has no concern whatever? They
nominate one, of the . ruffians,'' as they call
Brooks, for the Presidency; and they pur-
sue Brooks (dta safe distance, with every
approbrious epithet they can find in the
English language. Such is the vile and
lying spirit of modern abolitionism, as
manifested through the purchased presses
that have undertaken to sell Pennsylvania
t.for million doilars.n

Origin of playing Cards

A writer in the Newark Daily Adyer-
tiser says: sa'2s
"Cards were invented about the year
1890, to divert Charles VI, the King of
France, who had fallen into a melancholy.
The inventor proposed by the figures OF
the four suits, or colors, to represent the
four States, or classes of men in the King
dom. By the caesars (hearts) are meant
the Gems de Cheurs, chairman, or eccle-
siastics. The Spaniards, who borrowed
cards from the French, have therefore
cdpds or shalices, instead of hearts. The
nobility, or military men of the kingdom,
are represented by the ends or the points
of flances of the meaning, or resemblance
of the figure induced US to call them spades.
The spaniards have swords, in lieu of
pixies. We may have borrowed our name
from the soundoof this Spanish word. =
By diamonds, are designated the order of
citizens, merchants aud tradesmen. The
trefoil leaf, or cloyer grass, (corruptly call
ed clubs,) alludes to the husbandmen and
peasants. The Spaniards used the figure
of stavs or club, tastos, and no doubt we
we have given the Spanish Specification
to the french ,agure. The history of the
four Kings was intended to represent the
sovereigns David, Alexander, Caesar, and
Charles; four celebrated monarchies being
represented, namely-The Jewish, Greek,
Roman and Frankish. By the Queens,
are intended Argiue, Esthey, Judith and
Pallas. typical OF birth, piety, fortune and
wisdom, Argine is an anagram for Re-
gina, viz; Queen by descent. BY the
Knaves, we're designed the servants to
knights Knave originally meaning SER

will of the nation, the will offs party, often
a small but artful and enterprising minor
lity of community; and, according to the
alternate triumphs of different parties, to
make the public administration the mirror

consistent and wholesome plans, digested

The above description may now and then
answer popular ends, they are likely, in the
course of time and things, to become po-

ment; destroying afterwards; the very en-

Towards the preservation of your Gov
