The article headed, "The wicked ieeth
when no man pursue,h," in the STANDARD OF
The 18th inst, is a remarkable literary pro-
duction, and a very fair specimen of the in
tellectual and moral nature of its Author. It
was a shot aimed directly at as; but from
the carelessness of the Editor s(the modern
Aiax,) it appears that he got the werst1of it
himself, SO in the language of the Irisfman
who shot at the squirrel and missed him, he
says, bejabbers and If you'd been at the oth-l
er end of the gun you'd not gone off CLIPPERS
ing. We would advise him not to use that
BEunderbuss for sports of that kind if ne
does not wish to suffer the consequences.
But without rejecting at all in a moment of
excitement, with the assistan &c of some ten
or a dozen men and boys 1subI Editer throw
ed in) some Coliegiates and others not ex-
actIy, he got the old rusty thing off but did
not do much execution; the tact was in pass
sion he fred a random shot and did not leeme1
anywhere near us, for he thought we were
some ways off and he charged accordingly.
Now, in order TO give some kind of an idea
what the thing vas loaded with we shah re-
fer TO the STANDARD of the above named date.
From the filthy contents lodged upon that
sheet we can give no better idea of its CONS
bustibles than TO compare them with these
poisonous liquid BoIlnbshelIs Tor stiokapots}
used by the English Govern ents at the
Bombardment Of Sevastopol, > which, like the
poisonous Upas Tree destroys everything II
comes in contact with. Now ifthe chivalrous
Editor was not endowed with such tremenE
deus combative powers, and had less notoFi-
ETY. as a Pugilfst, we should not hesitate IN
having a set-to with him, but as he is at
times a little inclined to make some display
Of his scientific powers in the manly art,
We feel as though we had rather not come
IN close contact Ter fear he might make some
of those unpleasant gestures around our face.
From the general lone of The indignant
Postn1aster's reply to our article we should
think DE had just received one of the origin
al packages of that Pittsburg whiskeY
DIETER known as Democratic Water)
which President Buchanan recommends
SO highly in q private letter to the manufac-
,urer of the delicious beverage: or in other
words we might say under the influence of
Spir ats, not Angelic but of Deuroaicdl, or
evil tendencies who manifest themselves
through the mediums, combativeness and
through those fa-esltiesT4vsated in she tase4

which are always aroused when such spirits

by this eloquent literary gentleman seems 10

the wicked desireth evil; bis neighbor ind

be going from the sublime, to the ridiculous
; = little too soon to be called strictly Ortho-
, dox, and not exactly in accordance with the
doctrines OF the Blessed Holy Trinity, the
three persons in one God, 10 which our pa
Gus friend subscribes.
Now perhaps this distinguished Editor and
Postmaster is one o! that class of Christians
who leycs ,his religion in the Church during
1.-The week; and forget H. when. engaged at
his studions labors in the Editorial SdactuDs;
al least we should think so, Judging from
that highly sublime and elevating display of
classical Rhetoric in the. Standard of the

signed to his fate in Chat seven by nine Or

at rest, if we would consign him quarters
there; whether he means old worn out Mex
lean quarters, GO cents,) we are unable
to tell; but judging from his great desire to
accumulate we should think something shout
as tangible might be a source OF sdevout
pleasure to Kim. Unless this devotee COM

if that scientific and memorable production

it might be the means Of a promotion from
Postmaster TO q more lucrative and meritori- |

Government, where he might nibble with

awarded with q crowned wreath made from

Spontaneously in the Niger Driven COTTON

in concluding I'VE wish it distinctly under

another trial with that Biunderbuss OF bis,
just clean it out and we will be ready at any

his own distance; although our gun is small
and if that is not enough; we will allow him

and rest through that political fence he has
had the sublime pleasure of setting on for
the past few months; also an opportunity to
