bat we are not in the humor Just now to in
duige in quoetical potations.-The editor Of
the Union having gone TO Baltimore, 1.-THE
gentleman in charge" borrows, with due
credit, an editorial article from the Wash
ingtOn Constitutions constitution which,
unlike that of the United States, might be
altered and amended without impairing
either its virtue or its usefulness. This ar
ticle ID a cutting up and sailing down of
what purports to be "a Gross Outrage"
Since the incoming OF the present micro
scopic Administration, the Constitution has
| witnessed every day, as regularly as the day
| came, gross outrage upon the country;
but as those outrages were committed by
those upon whom it depends for its precari-
Gus existence,''it did MT feel at liberty TO
| ventilate them through it's columns. The
particular outrage which it now grasps by
| the hair of its head and holds up to be with
cred by the virtuous seorn of an indignant
world, is the tossing of Mr.. BARRETT out of
his seat in Congress and the slapping of
| FRANK Z. BLAIR, Jr., down in his place.
These gentlemen, for We believe they are
| recognized as gentlemen by their personal
| friends, both wanted to go to Congress from
the St. Louis District of Missouri, and &C
cordingly they both appealed to the "hOn-
est yeOmanry" of the District to send them
there. Mr.. BARRETT, the Democratic candi-
date, got the certificate of election, and when
Congress met, he dropped in upon shat dig
nified and statesman-like body, and made
himself quite at home. But i. turns out
now that he was MT at home by a long shot.
Mr.. BLAIR, the colored Republican candidate,
went on there, and going into the House,
walked up TO where Mr.. BARRETT sat, as
large as life, and remarked to him substan-
TALLY: 81 don't like to disturb you, mister,
and would n't, do it on any account hardly;
but the fact of the business is, you've got
my cheer, and as the Cockney, who wished to
ascertain the 'heft' of his sweetheart, said to
the man at the hay-scalcs, Il want you to
wacate.'" MIR. BARRETT was impolitc enough
to tell Mr.. BLAIR he'd see him hanged first.
Whereupon an appeal was made to the
House, which decided that Mr.. BARRETT must
get up and let Mr.. BLAIR sit down. This de-
cision of the House is what the Union in its
borrowed article styles ga gross outrage"
and it is more than likely it was an outrage,
for as both the Democratic and Republican
members of the House had a hand in the af-
frir, We cant see how it could possible have
been anything else.
The GGzcte.-Our venerable contemporary
of the Gazahe is kind enough to favor us with
a brief disquisition ON 1.-THE Revolutionary
Spirit in Europe" He does mt attempt to
throw much light upon the subject, and we !
sban't either; for that reader is very I'M |
reasonable one who expects US to throw n |
thing when We have MT got it throw. We i
understood the other day that there was a |
Revolutionary Spirit of some sort in Europe, |
but we were in hurry at the time, and did |
MT stop to enquire what it was all about. |
Having small surplus of leisure on band |
when we picked up the Gazette, we should |
have been much pleased to find that our
neighbor had gone his full length into the
subject, and had laid the whole thing open TO
the public eye. Constituting as VIC do one
of the many nerves OF that great optic organ,
we may take the liberty of saying that with
out pair of Brazilian pebbles from the Ga
zefte, or from some other source, it will never
be able 10 see through the complicated web
of European politics. Our neighbor ends
his article with these words, which would not
discredit the comprehensive beuevolenee of
the President of the Peace Society:
sin contemplating the prospects of blood
aud carnage, which will probably sweep over
the most highly civilized part of the Old
World, we can but hope that an overriding
Providence will divert even the bad passions
Of ambitious and evil-minded men, To the
ultimate benefit OF the people of Europe,
ond OF mankind throughout the world"
We can't see very clearly how the mere
of blood and carnage can damage the
he Old World by sweeping over any part of
t, provided the prospects do all the sweeping {
hat is done ; nor how the contemplation of
uch scene can inspire our neighbor with the
Iope that Providence is going 10 interfere in | +,
be military affairs of Europe, since, as cur !
eighbor thinks and says, Late occurrences
Indicate that the revolutionary spirit which
now gathering strength in Sicily, will soon
pread over and convulse the whole of Eu-
ope." Nevertheless, our contemporaries
'ords, SO feelingly uttered, eyince much of
ne heavenly spirit of philanthropy and uui-
ersal benevolence. and in response thereto
e have induced our Religious Editor to
reathe an earnest Amen.
