New-York daily tribune., 1858-11-01

The Hon. Henry J. Gardner of Massachusetts,
hss Indignantly, perhaps we should say indgently,
discarded the drapery spangled and striped OF the
Aloerican flag. in which bunting he has wrspped
himself ever since We knew anything about him.
The mere fact Of his getting new suit is credit
sbe 10 him. for the old one was full Of holes as
rye sieve; but why the Ex-Governor should sport
the motley Of John r. Heard, Democrat, distiller
and Buchanan candidate for Congress in the
With Massachusetts District is mora than we can
comprehend, especially as his ex-Exceency is q
Temperance man Of some fourteen years stand
iDg be the same more or less. But he is out plump
ly for bad rum, pure Democracy and Mr. Heard.
He has made Heard speech in Faneuil Hall, and
thereby irretrievably damaged the Heard pros
poets in that vicinity. For it does not seem possi
Bile that the Milcsian voters Of that ilk will stand
by Mr.. Distler Heard when they find him indorsed
by Henry j. Gardner. II certainly should, and
mauger the biggest kind of bulls, it will send Mr.
Heard spinning into skyey attitudes from which he
will not come down until after election. AL
North street will shake its piInply and swollen
head at the recruiting sergeant as we'll as the re.
cruit and will be very apt to 90 in for the other
man out Of sheer spite and choking Indignation.
If this be not the last of Gardner, then there is
use in having last to anything. There WAS the
Lsst of the Romans and the Last Of the Greeks,
and the Last of the Mohessns, and now we have
the last of the Massachusetts, Star.spanglcrs Talk
about Belisario Talk about Napoleon Primus
Talk about the little end of nothing whitfield to a
point Talk about that total abolition Of man
which oou. not leave tho slightest olesginOus spot
Talk Of extinction talk of exhalaton talk about
the baseless fabric Of q yisOn Why such u per-
feet, absoute, complete and thorough stepping out
would be- bliss and honor compared with Gardners
determination TO keep his head shove water
though it should still be target for decsyed sp:
pies and other like ssvory pellets. Here is man
who has been bswng about foreign influence, snd
the Pope, and Democracy trucking to Irish and
German voters until great many people began to
think hs was in earnest; aud behold be hops
over to the other aide, embraces the Democracy,
shakes hands with North street, and leaves Msssa-
chusetts TO so to the deuce. 1t is quite painful.
But he is not = very heavy gun, no matter which
way be is pointed. lie wants Col. Heard elected
on businsss grounds. The Distric. has shown, as
a mercantile District decided disinelinstion to
take care Of itself. That is what troubles the
commercial soul OF Gov. Gardner Well hs should
know the secret OF trading, at least politically con-
sidercd; and We arc quito relieved to find that be
does not attribute the recent financial troubles in
which Boston hs. had her share, to the presence
Of Mr. Burlngame in Congress, nor TO the absence
Of Nr. John 7. Heard from Congress. Sir.
Heard's nomination may make money plenty in his
District until after election, but as fer permanent
prosperity, We opine that be will button bis coruu
copious pocket after the poll is over and cut Of
the tap emphsticay and decidedly. We arr still
in dilemma. How is he TO pay poor Gardner
Belissrio has plenty Of money. Hc is of - four.
" teen years Standing and dees not want any
run What is he to have' This will never do.
When man is down. he should be treated geutly.
1t is cruel to make the starspangled captive grind
In tho Democratic mill. us him kindly
