One of the sweetest and prettiest writers in this
land Of Hail Columba is the Hon. Reyerdy John
son of Lyndhurst, near Baltimore, in the Kingdom
of Maryland When, as became watchful journal.
ists, We underwent the perusal Of the proceedings
OF the Palace Garden Democracy, We found Judge
Parker not fascinating, lis only joke being green
with the moss Of several centuries and his serious,
alarming and hortatory passages so intoerably,
consummately and miracuously dull that We

Parker does not appear to be one Of your
brilliant men, the sort of person to hang up in
dark alley. He is solid, We suppose. And sensible.
And practical, perhaps And able. But not
shiner-at least, not in a report. Then there was

This disrespectful language did so discOmpOse, dis
arrange and irritate usthst We incOntnently vowed
to read no more of JEFF Davis, 50 that we missed all
his serene gema and bll'sing flowers, and were CON-
PEELED to fall back upca Reverdy. He was, as the
young ladies' lirp "ps-you-tiful." A kind of

smiling; sesqupedaian. but fascinating; Plethora
but pretty.
The Episte Of Reyerdy to the New-Yorkers is
good. As We perused, his well-psdded sentences,
we were SO solaced ~ sound that We ceased to
look for sense, but suffered ourselves to be borne
upon the tide of his eloquence quiescent and unre-
sisting. When Reverdy described the wreck and
the ruin of Dissolutiop, we could hardly go on,
and yet some strange, fascinating power fixed our
right orb upon the page, while the left organ OF
vision performed series of vibrating Winks at
curiousy rapid rate. These phenomena were ac-
companied BY an almost irresistible desire to place
the thumb to the nose Dissolve the Union, SAYS
Revcrdy, and you are physically morally, socially
and economically done for" He uses no such
vulgar phrases, of courses but that is what he
means. He says to US, Dissolve, and your
downfall commences, and rapid will be its
progres,." A progressive downfall, Heaven save
US must be something perfectly awful, and sug-
gess the dire catastrophe Of Jack and Gill and the
weu-known pail of water. But hearken to the
Baltimore Jeremiah Having smashed the Union.
