caunot repeat them. Our wonder Is that the gen.
tlemsn could endure such language in the presence
Of iaiy We wonder that he did not strike him
to the earth and spurn him with his foot. Such
vulgarity and obscenity addressed, in broad day
light, TO ladies, in the city Of Washington, is be-
coming too common. It has been toolong endured.
II must be checked. Can Americans endure that
inso'ent, ow-bred Irishmen should offer insult to
American womenl Common enough, itinay be in
their own country--but here, In America-the
United Stateswe mean IL Is very uneomnion--
Insult lady in the presence ofan American, with
out instant chastisementI Never. These Irish
Democrats want overhauling. Agfsw lessons in
the Shape Of sound drubbing will teach them TO
remember that every American is'sa "constitu-
tionalo defender Of his country women N X
Is IT FAIR?-When Q man ia elected to Com
gress does il follow that his family is also elected
to fill the Offices in the gift Of the Clerk Of the

II used TO be considered, III the days Of Wasti.l
ington and Madison and jefferson, that the Offices
in tho git Of the officers Of the Senate and House
Of Representatives, and the clerkships in he gift
Of the Secretaries, belonged 10 the people Of tho
District, in consideration of their being deprived
Of the privilege Of voting for President, &c. 1si
A certain member has actually had his son ap-
pointed to $1,000 Office, under the Clerk Of the
Housed What makes the matter look worse, is
the fact, that this member had promised the late
incumbent that he would exert his Influence to
have him retained in the position, while he was
all the while exerting i to obtain the place for
member of his own family Three thousand a
year. for himself! and $1,000 4 year for his boy,

THE NEW HALL.-A gentleman was sauntering
the other day about the Capitol, viewing the gor-
geous decorations Of the new Hal and taking note
Of the improvements being made in that locality
generally, when he was accosted by one OF the
workmen who informed him that all that beautiful
work. pointing to some of the decorative and orna-
mental work, was done by himself and ninety-nine
others of his countrymen. "We are nalian's
said he-t arc one hundred ofus, and we have
two years work ahead, " aHrg,aa4not d

Is IT possible! No, It is a LIE. American
mechanics cannot be ontdone by Italians, Germans,
Irishmeu, or mechanics Of any nation under the
sun! Asworkmen they are superior to those Of
other nations as las been demonstrated time and
again. Why lie it then, that foreigners are employ

the exclusion of Americans9 1t is because they
will not surrender their c,nciences to the Keeping
Of the administration, and be driven in droyes
like cattle, to the polls, to vote as their would.be
masters order them. This is the reason, and the
only reason, why Americans cannot erect at the
Capital n he nation, the nations Capitol. rt
