Nashville patriot. [volume] (Nashville, Tenn.) 1858-1860, 1859-11-09


Let them have the money, by all mems.
Much has been done for the farmer and plan
ter in the way appropriations TO agricultu-
raj societies, and it il nothing but right that
the mechanic should have the benefit of the
appropriation which was clearly intended for
him. The local Banner always sparkling
and attractive and with eye for the beau-
tiful everywhere has lost its heart TO the
fair ..Constnnce'' who SO prettiy led the
Lore Chase through the scenic halls of the
Gaiety the other evening Her grace and
beauty have thrown it into an elysian field
of delicious delicousncss." and the lire
pressibe conflict" of admiration breaks out
in the Harper's Ferry of its bosom thus
"Who wouldn't be Wildrake in such Love
She is very pretty. Rognish eyes
and dimple cheek; chiselled chin and lips to
match that seem to melt for kisses. they
drop out words so prettily. With plump,
nicely rounded figure and queenly carriage,
the charming FANNY FTZ possesses all the
artless grace of an infant, that knows not art
and never learned the meaning of the word"
The local Banner is not to he blamed. Neigh
Dor Constance" is very pretty, and when we
see beauty and intelligence combined, the
least impassioncd amongus can but yield the
homage Of kneeling heart. Indeed. the
buIl-hides of AJAX must mail that heart whose
emotions do not leap responsive to the tender
sentiment of the poet
..When Peggy arms her dog imprison,
OH, how I wish my lot was his'n
How often would twist and turn
To get a pat from hands like hcr'n"
The local Banner is still thrusiing it's cruel
and mercIcss pen into the Hidden HIND
1t goes so far as to style that concealed
member Ian unnatural repast," just as If the
peoplc Of Nashville had eaten it for supper
last week four nights hand-running! 1t
thinks that "even the most depraved taste
will tire of the unnatural repast and turn
with primitive zest to"--to--to TON
TAYroRl Well, may he it will. In fact,
there is no Doubt of it, if the turn-table
OF the Nashville and Chattanooga Railroad
can be borrowed for the occasion. This
thing of turning the taste Of half the people
of Nashville, is not small job, by any
means; and it can't be done without some
sort of labOr-saving machinery.
The Ne,os gives us three long editorials.
But they are too full of figures for u.s. We
are not an admirer of figures. We've never
had any opinion of figures for several years.
Not since we got stuck in the mud at the
entrance to the double-rule-o f-thrce and had
to be thrashed all the way through by the
DONNIE SAMSON Of the free-school, who was
death on cypherin', and on all the boys too
who did not regard the road to mathematics
as sprimrose path of dalliance''-a royal
highway without bar. To the same cause
is attributable our unconquerable repug-
nance to Pixies whisky. For quite a mum
Der of years we labored under the impression
that Pixies whisky and Pixies Arithmetic
were made by the same Individual. Hence.
we are strictly temperate in the use OF the
one, and quite Incorporate i'll the hatred
of the other. In other words, we are strictly
temperate in the use of both. This is why
we don't read the articles in the NdCs-cant
stand the figures. The local N1cs has live,
vigorous article about the - Bankites and
Anti Bankites"-at least we found it lively
and vigorous far as We went, which was
down to the middle of the third paragraph,
where il talks about h-ll freezing over.
We hope we may never be called upon to
witness a spell of weather So intensely cold.
And so, when got down there, We turned
back The local Netrs says il ''ddn' t intend the
least reflection on the veracity of the Unions
venerable, crudite critic" when il poked its
TOR populi ut him, and adds "a We blame the
PATRIOT fo- not correcting our mistake pri-
vatcly instead of translating the phrase pub
licly, for the purpose of getting us lhrashed."
Such was not our intention. The Union GER
taiuly has Wright to get up as many theatre
cal criticisms as it chooses. but it has none
whatever to thrash the the local Nelcs for its
Latin
The Italian struggle for Freedom is the
subject of the Gazettes leader. There has al
ways been good deal Of struggle in Italy,
but it has never been much mixed with free
dom. The Italian, in looking back upon the
history Of a thousand years,
Cracking his country glory all the way"
But it is unkind to rob the Gt,ote Of its
theme. and we iorbear. The Gtzotte says the
report of Edwin BoorH's marriage with Miss
MARY DEvIIN is hoax, and that it is author
lied to say that Mr.. BooTH is only Della
We don't believe it. 1t is possible the lady
is merely Derlis. and may intend to be for
years; but such is not the case with Bo,oh.
The local of the Gazette declares that some
cigars he got somewhere on Cherry street
actually possessed the virtue of making him
feel like a decent man. If you can hnd
some. JIM, that will make you look like one,
we'd advise you to buy the whole lot at any
price.
The Union has two great standing themes
the Banks and the Currency, and JoHN BELL
aud the Black Republicans it writes
comparatively little about anything else.
The first thing that called our attention to
the Uaioa's genius was its wonderful capacity
for writing week after week, and ALWAYS
well, on one subject. It's structures on JoHx
BELL, and its lettings-out on the Banks.
would each ill q volume as large as-life.
The local Union tells its readers where they
can get a ''clean shave" One of the stu
dents OF the old Medical College is of the
opinion that he found that out several days
ago.
