STRING. - The following article,
which with little alteration, would be
most applicable to the state of the weather
in the West, from the New York Express
II was perpetrated by an individual who
signs himself Ebenezer Sprout:
Come forth with overcoats. umbrellas
and India ruhbers. OH We inhabitants Of
Gotham, for Springfield, rainy, muddy,
nasty Springs come. Come forth We
tlowerets, if you can; come forth-which l
very much doubt-for Winter fingers in
the lap offspring and won't git eout.'-
Come forth, We violets and daisies, and old
Boreas will blow you to blazes; come forth
We damsels and youth, and get the chills and
fever, or stay at home and have the blues
come forth, oh. We zephyrs, or, rather. bois
ferrous breezes, and give all the people colds
in their heads, and they will afterwards a
nathematize you in shower of sneezes
come forth, oh. We English snipe, from your
marshy meadows, and give your humble
servant chance to bag dozen or 80 Of ye;
come forth, ye speckled trout, from your
pearly brooks, and jump into my basket
Where are We, oh. asparagus and green
peas?-and.where are We. oh! damsels, with
your 'radi-shees' And OH Rain, do stop
Ye floods Of Heaven dry up-or if you wont
please wait little longer or come down
in homeopathic doses. and leave ebling to
clean the streets, for you have made such
an internal muss about it, You have become
as great a - as he"

The Muscatine Journal.

This insignificant newspaper of the rural
district of Muscatine, has for months burned
with prurient desire to induce the State
Democrat to honor it with notice Failing
to secure this cove.ed boon by the employ
ment Of rational language, it resorts To
species Of blackguardism, characteristic Of
little minds and injurious only to the person
using it.
In reply to our articles upon the new
Constitution, failing either to find sound
reasons or to employ even the weakest logic
in defense of that miserable production, it
resorts to personalities habit familiar to
the ill-bred and ignorant-hoping thereby
to turn public attention from the faults of
the Constitution. We have but one answer
to John Mahin, editor of the Muscatine
Journal, and that is this, we have never
seen any editorial in that paper deserving Of
notice, or anything in its editor that could
challange the slightest respect, and we only
depart from our usual silence respecting
that little rural journal. to give it to under
stand why it has not been heretofore hon
ored with our attention
