mt into barrels and cover with salt The basis OF
politics was roaringly anpuneiated By the Young
Lion TO be Sailed Proviscns"-praeticsl politics,
all that was worthy of the attention Of citizens win

seizure and lasting enjoyment BY the people OF the
Mississippi Valley, of the absolute administration
of the Federal Government a: home and sbrosd
We owe it. perhaps, TO the excavation caused BY
his protracted sumbers, that the Young Lion oil the
West, while roaring in the Kentucky Convention,
condescended to give reasons justying this eharae-
teristic allotment of Office and political trust De-
tween the several portions of the COntederacy,
They were. imprimis that the sandy strip OF land
con the Atlantic coast has had the control long
"enough." S,epndO, that the patience OF the West
with the paper-money making cstton-spinnng'
"and codfsh-catching aristOcraey of the Atlantic
States is clean gone and that its wastefu corrupt,
and ignorant government Of the breeders oil hogs
and producers Of cotton, will not be stood any
longer, anyhow. Tsrtio, that our Foreign Minis
ters are all Eastern men, "chosen from among the
"elegant ease, culture, and leisure, bat literally
'sgood for nothing, and doing less than nothing
for the Young Lions pork and beet. FoHrthty,
that the Mississippi Valley, "having outgrown the
"ancient fogdom of small men and threadbare
"topics, proposes BY total change OF programme
"Irolling oceanward barrels of pork aud beef with
"the whole energy of the RepubIc], to redeem the
"country from its past degradation fythiy aud
COMPREHENSIVE, that he, the Young Lion OF the
West having in his paws the balance OF political
power, intends "to take possession OF affairs.
Unlike the old lion of the South whose role in pub
lie is to growl DisuniOn, but who is aVerse to any
exact chronological statement in connection with
his menace, the Occidental animal fixes tue time of
putting his extnguishing strength upon our Goldfish
catchng, and tarif.hatching, and paPer-money-
passing aristocracy. 1t will be simultaneously
.swith the completion Of the railroad connection
sin Kentucky between fresh and sail water.
Which is certain if not comfortable.
This is a rich and juicy young lion, when be lifts
himself up on his hind legs, aud gently roars out the
political philosophy that is in him. and sends to his
brother in France solution of the hitherto ifsolu
bic problem Of the government OF the GaiIe Peopn
With an unctuOus smile, suggestive OF exceS vi
bacon and of the emolient influences Of lard ard salt
DIG. he gently vet assuredy dissuades Napoleon Ill
from the further administration Of his Em'ire With
bayonets, soldiers, bacartrdges, spies, ind police
men. "Imperial brother" says he, - the Whole
thing is as plain as a bmg in barrel. We
- Americans have the national disese Of dyspepsia

" changed pound for pound, especially With your
France, which sets the fashior Tor the Cont

Your safety, Sire, depends more DEEPLY on Amer

the French usurper should administei to his restless
,ubects the political anOdynes of bed and pork, IN
a pickle. the Young Lion informs him that if be
hall do so, "the price of Mississippi Valley land
" and labor will be much advanced, our houses be
flied with articles OF comfort and luxury, and our
"wiyes and daughters surpass the ssa-board ladies
as much in dress as they do in health and beauty"
The logic whereof does not lie on the surface.
The citizens of Client, in Carroll County, KY,
are proud of the distinction of having started Texas

questionable act of wisdom, and unquestiomble act
of rascality, they have just resolved, within the
sacred precincts of No. g. that they are in ayor of
getting Cuba and Canada, for the sake, among
other things, /" of settling pending issues With the
Queens of England and Spain, for outrages on
Gulf steamers, and for the harboring of thousands
of fugitive slaves" They have resolved, too, that
