THE DUELLo OF WORDS.

Every Plug Ugly would delight in any
kind Of a fight. He is full of the animal
Instincts which ally man with the lower or.
der of creation. Not only may you take
Louisville, Baltimore or Washington City
for an example; but the rowdy spirit can
be seen in any town, eager for ia muss,n
and full of blood and muscle-sometimes
of bad whskey. In less refined ages
this instinct delighted IN gladatorial dis
plays Of personal prowess; and in coun-
tries where the animal nature is stronger
than the spiritual it still takes pleasure in
bali-fghts and performances ofahat kind.
Even among hot-bloods of our own the dd-
clio is yet well known. Therefore we say,
the restless, hol-blood which is SO eager for
a gladiatorial fray between Gen. Packer and
Judge Wilmoi does not ask it for the men,
tai or moral enlightening of the public, but
simply 10 have a ''row"-to excite passions
and TO infame the prejudices of fanatics
and bigots. The history of the Crusades, of
Popish gun-powder, meal-tub aud Titus
Oates plots, and of witch-burning in this
country illustrate how this game is played
by hypocrites and demagogues upon the
passionate and the simple.
Do they want cool and candid discussion?
why then did these same men only three
years ago lead their dupes into dens of mid
night darkness to take horrid oaths OF secrecy
and Of eternal hostility against their human
brethren? A pretty set truly are these TO
ask for bl;ediscussion now. But there has
been, and there will be until the election,
enough discussion to crafty them, and TO
eniighten the public on all the issues truly
in controversy. Hfsss Sc
True, there was three years ago an epi-
sode from the main performance TO which
we'have alluded. We mean the prostitu-
ton Of great moral principle 10 the gain
of political gamesters. But it is quite cer-
tain that the Opposition candidate will not
now discuss that pint, unless in the lager
beer saloons in a practical way 10 catch
votes.
p The old respectable Federal and Wing
parties prided themselves on possessing
call the decency and intelligence" of the
country but their degenerate successors
prefer the drunken vulgarity of Tom Ford
10 the arguments of any other speaker
Surely it would be wasting the pearls of
-->asan-. diseeas. -s,s;aeiplss .before these
men, ana he who cotld gain tlieir applause
would have cause for everlasting self.re-
proach. Take for instance a man who
thinks that 10 contrast Henry Clay with
Seward and Johnson as "Hyperion 10 a
Satyr" is abusing Clay, and is it a wonder
that he prefers Tom Ford TO every body
else. From such an auditor foul anecdote
would gain loud applause, and reasoning
fall still born.
