Thomas c. Theaker.

Some mad cap correspondent of Th'
Gazette sfter three weeks of labor comes
out in O review Of Mr.. TBEAKER, and
especially Of bis Court House speech. His
great objection is that he was an ultra
HAig. Now if this writer has been an
Ameriesn as The Gazette AYERS, what, pry
thee, vas the harm. But afterwards he
was an xltrd American, and this American
Democrat brings ii as an object tion. This
writer (RAxnoLPH) has been an American
and now objects to THElKER because he be.
lcnged to the same party. But THEAKER's
browning crime, the last act in the bloody
publican (sOolitionist he calls him) opposed
TO the admission of any more Slave States.
He says this "buffoon THEAKER," "this
mad Abolitionist, would smile to see ouI
beautiful Ohio and majestic Mississippi,
now the channels of commerce of peace
ful people, turned into rivers of blood, bear
ing on their blossoms hostile fleets. and
aruies Of foemen fanatics more ruthless
Sthan the Huns of DID," What grim mon
ster this TREAKER must be. He must be
even peer to cid Polyphems, who is de-
scribed by the poet as
A hoEid big giant who lived in den
- - a L. -
Ate woman for break fast and idreadtnl 10 see9
Had nice little baby served up with his tea !!
Bot RANDoLrE would turn from this sad,
picture to something of pitdl Importance
X of course rs OF no vital Importance if he
should cause rivers to turn TO blood and
devour thousands CT the humsn family TO
sstiste his ambition. The thing of more
vita importance is the fact that THEAKER
endorses tie doctrine OF "no more Slave
Statee." He says, "every voter in this
district knows, or ought to know, that from
the abyss of darkness, has arisen those
mighty States which were added to the old
Thirteen"-re thought they were formed
ont of the Territories. This abyss of dark
ness must be that into which the Demo-
cratic party is plugged by Its Kansas policy
Blu; he says these States were permitted to
regulate their own "internal policy unmol-
ested" &c. We wonder if he. means the
Eve States formed out of the North West
ern Territory. which was dedicated TO free
dom by the Ordinance of 1857.
But this RANDOLPH dreams himself into
the idea that he is the veritable RANDOLPH
of Roanoke. He grows 'erGnd Eloquent" he
takes flight among the stars, be rides the
proud bird-oi- Love, gains celestial hight
in the infinite regien of greatness, the
p5oud; bird of Jove is then transformed to
a dove sweeping across the vast of waters,
bringing back the olive branch of peace
&C., ad infnitem. But we cannot do justice
to.this flight of eloquence. The glory OF
HrNxYis cast forever in the shade. hear
him for yourselves
"The stars of other new States will soon
arise shedding their Light aPon hills and
valleys, now in the gloom of light and un-
der the never.tiring wings OF our Eagle
the proud bird of Jove-soaring away in
her flight Of glory, plucing the diadem up
90 new and mighty sovereign States, spread
ing her sheltering wings over this Contin-
ent, and like the dove OF old sweeping
across the waste of waters, returning again
10 our proud capital, bearing in her beak the
olive branch of peace; bidding the people
of this happy land to press forwa rd in the
race of honor and glory, SO. long es there
remains celestial height in the infinite
region of greatness fer young gigantic in-
sincibe America"
IfToM. THEAKER should be guilty of such
a flight as this, we would be in favor of TAX
ing him off the track at once, and would
asyise his friends to send him to the luna:ic
