Billy LOng.ears Again.

While our hand is in we may as well H.
Illuminate the "cuss" a little. and spread
the natural history of the brute before
the world. He is SUI generis-an anon
ally in the animal creation-a jackass in
stupidity. hog in arrogance. an Afri-
can locofoco by profession, and liar
and scoundrcl by practice. We charg-
ed him with lying four times in an arti
| Gle, last week. and he comes back in re
ply with at least four more. Hear him
about Il week since, the Black Re-
publican, Broderick organ of Nevada
county, the Necada journal, contained
about two columns of abuse and scurril-
Gus blackguardism against this paper
and its editor"
Two lies with a gu,to. Two columns
Of abuse" &c. and BLACK Republican,
ism again. This paper, in the issue Of
"about q week since" alluded to, notic-
ed the Inconsistencies of the Mcreurial
editor to the extent of one quarter of a
column no more. 1t is about as near as
the scamp gets to the truth; never theless
we will set it down for lie No. /. j
The chargeof Black Republica nism
is made this time with some authority to
back it. though not produced. We adj
mitted. last week that we had decided
preference for Republican gentleman
over "hen-pecked locofoco nincom-
poop" like the editor Of the Mercury.
This is all the authority Long-ears wants
and more than his kind generally have,
to reiterate the charge. He probably
accepts our own admission above stated;
but as the charge is false we will be
obliged to set it down to his account as
lie No. 2.
We quote continuation of the scrap
taken flom the Mercury, above:
1--WE did not think, at the time, it be-
came us to notice it. In its issue of
this week, it contains another column of
the same character. which we shall treat
with the same silent contempt"
Here the puppy intends to convey in
the first sentence the idea that he never
replied to the i'm ginary "two columns"
at all ! whereas the article in our last
was a reply to about a half column IF
lies and billingsgate in the Mercury, call
ed out hy the vituperations of that sheet.
He now treats us with two-thirds of
dirty column Of BREWER and calls it "si-
lent contempt" 1t is difficult to say
which is most to be execrated the wan
ton reeklessness or impudence of this
quotation. 1t certainly beats anything
we have ever met. We shall not call it
lvirs-it should receive q different ap-
pellaiion.
1--WE have. time and again erdeavored
to show that the old Whig party and the
Democratic party Of this day. occupy
the same position and stand upon the
same platform, and we repeat. that if
Henry Clay were living to-day, he
would he found in the leading ranks Of
our party, as can be proven by simply
referring to his Compromise resolutions

Decidedly fresh 1t must he admit
ted that the editor of the Mercury has
been engaged in job rivaling that of
old Sysiphus. The latter role his stone
nearly to the top. while the former has

There is no evidence that he has ever
moved it a barley corn either forward or
backward.
The old Wing party and the Demo
cratic party of the present day standing
upon the same platform !-Ha ha
As hard would it be to transmogrify

Henry Clay would be"-great God !
may the immortal dead be desecrated

The locofoco party, the Mvcury will

favor of the distribution of the proceeds

Henry Clay, were he living, would for
get his long alta achment to his own Amer

Buchanan the vile slanderer of the great
statesman's fame ! Oh. Shame where
