The following is the latest from the
Louisville Journal:
Tae Washington Ua'on boasts that eur
Government carries IFS hesd high Oh
yes, the deeper it is in debt and 1ank
rup;cy, the higher it carries It's head, aud
the more it flaunts itself. Perhaps. rea.
der. you have heard of the lady who dis
missed an humble servant girl. and meet
ing her few months afterwards, express
sed establishment at the gaudiness anltx
travagance of her dress. La, mistress,
said The girl, don't you know have been
raiasd since 1 left you ?''
When a tailor looked at the Falls Of
Niagara, with It's thick cloud of spray,
he exclaimed Goods! what place to
sponge coat!" When a corrupt politi
clan looks at a seat in Congress with all
its immense facilities for sacrificing the
national interests to the highest bidder,
he mentally exclaim, Gods! what a
place 10 sponge the people!
The .Southerner speaks of man who
recently died. leaving all bis property to
bis sons if they should be Democrats
That old fellow evidently took hint
from the GreekphilosOpher who bequeath-
ed large fortune to his children if they
should prove to be fools, for, said he, if
they are wise men they viii not need it.
It seems to us that an anli.Lecompton
Democrat. who supports the English
fraud, is much such an animal as was
produced by Pats old cat sitting on a
ducks egg. The little monster had a
ducks head and cats tail, and mewed
and quacked alternately.
The remains of President Monroe, it is
known, we're lately removed from y
York. 1t was found, however, that but
li'lle of his remains remained. There Is
ss little left of him physically as OF old
B sck politically and morally.
Mr. English. in late speech at Salem,
declared that his opponents were anxious
TO elevate negroes to the level OF whites.
He ought to be aware that negroes
would require precious little elevatiug to
reach The level Of some whites.
A little Democratic editor in the inte-
rior processes TO be holding his nose at
the Know Nothing party. Let him hold
it and pinch it and pull it and twist it as
much as he, pleases. He can save better
men the trouble.
A writer in the Ohio Statesman, under
the signature of Licking appears in be-
half of Sam Cox, the traitor. Cox is
welcome to all the lickings he gets, and
we hope there will be host of them.
Mr.. Buchanan, in virtue Of his Office,
holds the sword and the purse of the ma
ton. He wields the sword with the awk-
wardness of clown, but he fingers the
purse with astonishing adroitness.
Tie editor of The Washington Union
says be would ''rather hold controversy
with statesmen than with blackguardS. J"
Of course, for he has more cause of diff
ference with them.
1t is said that The portraits of Mr.. Eng
lish, which were sent out to his district in
such large numbers have had no sale
If he cannot boast that he is 1n5Oaght,
his pictures can.
1t happened well, that the man, who
was to give his name to the corrupt and
fraudulent Kansas law, was named Eng
iish. There is nothing American about
the vile thing.
The editor of the Washington Union
pretends to understand perfectly" what
he says. Pity he cant make himself
equally Ineligible to his readers.
1t is said that Buchanan won Mr.. Foley
over from anti Lecomptonism by dinner.
1t was the only sort of argument that the
Indiana blockhead could digest.
The editor OF the Democrat talks about
the "sinking fund" Every fund that
his party gets a chance at becomes at
once rapidly sinking fund.
The Washington Union says that ''the
opposition editors seem TO be at stand. !"
The administration editors, on the contra
~, seem always at lie.
The Washington Union says there is to
be ''no change in the Cabinet" There
has been precious little if any in the
Treasury for some time.
The Democratic party and the anti
Democratic party are both growing pro-
digiOusly, the latter growing big and the
former little.
Poverty runs strongly to fun. A man
