dsy. Ergo. says the Rev. Mr. Webb. Kemble is
elected. while Ha.kn il smashed.
Unfortunately for the interests Of the Christian
religion, which vii now be- abo-hcd--unfortu-
ns,e,y for the Propheticsl position II the Rev Mr..
Webb-Mr Hsskin is elected. Al this morality,
all this eIhortatOn. all this pleasing and pleasant:
indoctrina,iop, is thrown away. The Rev. Mr.
Webb is foored, whether as 4 religious or PoIt-
zeal prophet He cannot stand upon the one Sun-
dsv He canuo, even stand upon the f,co Sundays.
He bs, taken nothing by the dsgraceful fact tina.
Nr. Haskn asserted in one OF his speeches thst
.,bere WAS God in Heaven" Al the same time,
We pity him. For be ms, if We read aright his
ipbilsrt article. 10 have been so high up that the
f,ll will demolst him. Ia fact, just before he
ptebed over the original Christian principles 50
,yay,d hi. heart that he was willing TO draw vail
over Mr.. Haskins proceedings. II he drew II, AZ
the time indicated, he need not withdraw 1t. We
are willing to spare bis feelings.
There is one point, however upon when We
have some doubt. General Webb intimates IN the
exuberarce of his e1utation, thst Kemble, VINO Is
not elected, is a gentleman Democrat Here IL
a new breed, suddenly but sufficiently introduced
By General james Watson Webb, into his new
party. We have people enough to fight q ready
but here the party of Gentlemen Democrats IN
vented, founded, propounded and announced oy
General Webb. bursts upon US, to complicate our
difficulties and to increase our responsibilities. Our
hand is practiced in the other way. We hsye just
got wonted TO fighting the rum-sodden rutians OF
the City-the heavy. handed ruffians OF the Slave
Ststes-tbe house burning and murderous rulans
of Mssouri-the beautifully cold, passionless and
IRRESPONSIBLE ruffsns of the Administfation-when
General James Watson Webb organizes corps OF
the Gentlemsnly Democracy to put us to rout.
How will they charge Will they comply as
they pink u.s. VIII the Reverend General put US
upon our Chesterfield We see them advancing,
with that well-known, stalwart figure st their
head All in clean shirts. And whole coats. The
dear. GrntIemanly Democrats With the General
at their head. and dear knows who at their tai
1t IS clear that the Chevalier Webb, having gone
over body, breeches and the mahogany stock to the
Administration, intends to organize corps OF gem
tlemen of which he will be the regular commander.
We can assure him of one thing. When he
charges We shall certainly get out of the way of the
Gentleman Democrats. They are not in our Line.
We have never seen enough of these rare birds.
When they get TO be more plentiful under the
guidance, teaching. indOctIination and example OF
General james W. Webb, they shall be duly noticed
in these columns.
Wien this new organization is fully drilled, II
will not do for Mr.. Haskin to run in his District
We would suggest to General Webb that he should
open scm-military school in the lXth District
solely under bis own supervision. He can then
train the Young Ideas to keep their eyes right t.
display their pistol stocks with precision aud effect,
to fight whrn he fights and to vote as he votes.
He will then be able to shine better in the pro-
pbetic department. and may even reach the honor,
such as it is, of being candidate for Congress
