THE Crrr PHEss.-Ths Union does not give
us leader of any length, but cuts us off with
a handful of paragraphs, political and mis-
cellaneous. In one of them it says "the OPP
position are hitting each other, now and then,
some pretty hard licks''-in testimony
whereof, it refers to little difference Of opin-
ion on the subject of the Union meetings at
the North, which it has discovered among
two or three Opposition newspapers. If the
Union wishes to show its readers a sample of
hard ticks, it can much better accomplish its
object by exhibiting what the Philadelphia
Press. a Democratic paper, says of JAMES
BUCHANAN, Democratic President, or what
the Memphis Ayalanche, Democratic paper,
Gays of STEPHEN A. DoUGLAs. Democ ratio
Senator. 1t might find something OF the
same sort. too, in Wharf.-The Louisville Demo
crn. the Cincinnati Enquirer, &C., &C., say in
favor of Senator DOUGLAS aud against Mr..
BUcHAxAx To praise DOUGLAS is to denounce
old Buck, and vice versa. II fraternal hard
ticks are what the Union is in pursuit of, it
can find a large and well selected assortment
without going beyond the pale of its own
party. "The Secretary of the Treasury"
SAYS the Union, has received $1,000 from
some conscence-stricken party, who states
that he defrauded the Government OF that
sum. and desires to restore it that he may
be happy''' Just oppose all the Demo
cratic office-holders now living, who have de-
fraudcd the Government, should thus be con-
characterization. and pour into the Treasury
the fruits of their rascality-why, Uncle
SAMUEL would have money enough in bis
pocket to defray all his public and private
expenses for the next ten years, or some
s 600 900 900, for this is about the amount
required to carry on the Government for
that length of time under the Democracy,
with the average amount of stealage, winch
is generally about half the sum written down
as Government expenditures.
Again the Banner asks, f" Who is RESPONSE
ble?" Il has been proven to the satisfaction
of all intelligent minds, that the Democracy
are responsible for the delay in organizing the
House. and nobody hasproven it more clear
v than our contemporary Of the Banner. The
Democratic newspapers in this section-such
# them, at least, as know what they are
.alkC2 about-have ceased to defend the
,tubbornness and stupidity Of their members
the House, and tactly acknowledge that
J hey are solely responsible, and that their
course il utterly indefensible. The local
IF the Banner has gone down the river. His
movements are thus chronicled by the Clarks-
lille Chronicle: '' Mr.. A. c. ROBERTS, one of
he editors of the Nashville Banner, reached
our city last evening, and designs remaining
lere a day or so. We tender him the freedom
IF our sanctum during his stay, and commend
lin to the kind courtesies of such Of our
:itizens as may make his acquaintance" Mr..
ROBERTS is eminently worthy of such courte-
les.
