Ourselves and the Raleigh standard.


in assuming that meant no covert personal attack
upon the Senior Editor Of that paper in remarks
in late number of the Journal, such remarks being
contained in article in which reference is made to
Andrew Johnson of Tennessee, gentleman whose tai
ents and energy respect and in whose principles gene
rally have confidence although there things about
him that VIC cannot endorse and which we have char
acterized in pretty emphatic language
We say this frankly and freely. One remark, not of
personal character would apply to our contemporary
of the Sandnd that in reply to his question to how
we liked President BucbananS specific duties and Pacific
Railroad. In expressing regret that all Democrat
c contemporaries had not been equally prompt to dissent
from the Objectionable features of the Presidents Message
VIC confess it struck that contemporary Of the Stand
ard had not been prompt usual and his question led
us to the remark referred to- which, far applicable
to the Sandard was intended to be so applied This
might be an open matter for argument but certainly
was not designed to promote controversy still less to be
considered personal reflection upon the senior editor
We had no doubt of the Standards position upon the
Tariff question: aud only regretted that partial
silence should have allowed any cavilng by the oppo
tion or permitted any belief to be entertained in other
quarters that any GOODNESS Indifference might exist in
this State on that point. However, the editor of the
Standards own expercDce-a longer one than ours-s
his best guide and certainly shall only not seek,
but shall avoid, any controversy that would interfere
with our cordial cooperation in the coming contest in
anticipation of which all forms Of opposition using
and rallyng their forces. We trust that any hopes of
the opposition, founded upon quarrels between Demo
cratic papers in this State, may always meet with dis
appointment,

Herald, in the hopes of getting something fur
ther on the subject TO prevent such mischief
especially the last step, he considerably, after
taking breath, continues:
AS such will be the awful consequences of

would suggest the immediate and patriotic
abandonment OF that project. Mr.. Pugh may

THE INTELLIGENCER.

WE have elsewhere culled some gems from
thes"rItins" of the funny man of the N. Y.
Tribune. The N. Y. Herald seems to be afflic-
ted with an attached something after the same
style. He has been trying his hand of late
upon the Z" Watering places" in the course of
which he tells us that the proprietors Of the va
rious hotels in operation at Saratoga, Newport,
&c. ''arc full of promises of the most gorgeous
description. Everybody is to have every earth
ly thing done for them for next door to nothing
at ALL" He further more communicates the
agreeable intelligence that
The best beds, the best dinners, tle best
attendance and the best wincS-in fact, the best
of cverything-is to be given for a much lower
price than has been paid heretofore for tho
worst of everything. The Irish walters are not
to fight any more, and will give up whisky; the
colorcd persons are not to assume superiority
over white guests, but are to be polite, respect
tu and altogether perfect gentlemen. Both
Celtic and African servants arc to wear white
gloves constantly, and to spurn brides with tue
lofty scorn of a member OF Congress. Every
thing is to be of the incest dcscrption-thcre
are to be no annoyanccS, no rpples to disturb
the serenity of the stream of enjoyment. In
some places regular prayers are to be offered
morning, Enoon and night. The desipere in loco
art is TO be practised to perfection, so far as
Boniface is concerned.
The funny man of the Herald has much ad.
vice, (Which commodity is dOgg'd cheap in the
Herald ottice,) to offer to 'persons Visiting
these Springs who call themselves gentlemen"
among which is the caution TO
Pay attention to their linen, wear less than
seven pounds Of fwatch chain, discard breaStpinS,
swear less, chew less tobacco above alrSpit less,
refrain from smoking in carriages or upon
promenades in the faces of ladies, avoid rusty
black clothes, and comport themselves general
y in sober aud discreet way. Fascinating
young men must cease to mistake impertinence
for wit and try to avoid being made the laugh
ing stock of sensible people by mischiev0us CO.
quettes.
He tells us that the ladies 'might mend their
manners" also, and that
The young ones should dress simply, and
never wear ,jewclry; the matronS and dOwagerS
should remember that maturity has its duties
as well as its privileges Above all, the size of
the hoops should be reduced Our Western
bellies look like so many beer barrels, and as
they waddle along Broadway, provoke lnerri-
ment rather than admiration. As matter of
taste, crinoline ough to be dispensed with alto
gether; but we cannot have it's area increased in
the present state ofthings. We cannot increase
the area of the world, and unless that could be
done, the expansion ofcrinolinc must be arrest
ed at some point. The point has been reached.
II these advices of his are carried out the
Herald man thinks it quito likely
Things at the watering places may be expected
to go on smoothly enough, and the season will
be too brilliant for human contemplation. We
shall be obliged to look ut it through u smoked
glass.

IN the Second Congressional District Of Ala
bama, there is, just now, man running whose
name is Pugh. lie has never been in Congress
yet, but he has an ambition to get there, and
he means to get there, if the biggest splurgc of
words that any fire eater has yet given vent to
will take him there just now, Pugh is in the
hands Of the New York Tribune. That Journal
has delegated its salt and pepper man to look
after Pugh-cvcn us he did after Keitt. The
salt and pepper man of the great Humanitarian
organ, feels in duty bound to be intense in his
way. And he is quito SO. lie commences, for
instance, thus:
There is certain cavalier now making tracks
in the Hid District of Alabama. lie is headed
for the seat dignified in the NXXVth Congress
by the incubalions Of the Hon. Eli Shorter
lie is running with wonderful wind, and, If we
may be allowed the expression, bOttOmless bot
tom. The name of this clattcring candidate is
Pugh, and we are sure that he must be scion
of the house of PughPugh, the obscurity OF
which is very illuStrous.
''Thc obscurity of which is very illustrious!"
We call that good-"den foine."Ss
The Salt and Pepper man here gets on strain
after keen shot, which, in our eye, very near
lets him down to the level Of the ridiculous.
VIC 40 not near Oh yIulliS OI luc IdlS OuOIr
ter-we mean Shortcr-but we fancy that when
Pugh entered the arena, Shorter becoming, more
decidedly abbreviated, had wholesome fear of
passing from the comparative into the Superln.
tive degree and declined TO go his length, lest
he might have no length to go, and, having en-
tered himself with respectable dignity as Short
er, might be compelled ignominiouSy to retro
us Shortest.
He rccovcrs, however, in time, as the auc.
tioneers say, and proceeds on quito unique
s'run' (as the Billiard men term iD Of entertain
ing take off, For instance.
Mr.. Pugh commences his manifesto by romind-
ing the free and enlightened electors of The Sec
ond that he "has grown up among them from
infancy"-from which VIC infer that he is kind
of phenomenon, and that other distinguished
characters in the habit Of "growing down
among them from "manhood."
'Growing down among them from manhood"
is good. The next ''run" is tame in compari-
son with it and we shall "let it slidc," as Banks
said about the union.
But here is something which like Jeems Vel
lowpIush will make fellow "arf:"
Mr.. Pugh will not commence belligcrent de-
monstrations until after ''the election Of Black
Republican President" Simultaneously with
that event. the crimson orb Of War will begin
to roll. Also, the drums in Alabama a fright
