The POETS AND THE PRINCE OF WALES
The hotel keepers are all on the track Of h. r.
H.; jenkins like Mrs. Micawber, will never
desert him; the hatters, tailors and bootmakers
will use him as an advertisement; and, worse
their little lays In his honor. We have re-
ceived several of the efusions of these new
votaries Of the tune.ul Nine, and ind them even
worse than the campaign lyrics which We have
printed a. literary and political curiosities.
One disciple Of Apollo informs Us that his verses
have slight tinge Of satire in them; but We
have failed to perceive anything Ct the sort. The
poem is parody upon "Young Lochinvar,' =
and starts Of with the statement that "Young
Baron Renfrew has come out to the West" and
that "of all British lordlings he's reekoned the
best" that hes Of pure royal blood and the
Queens eldest son. SO must needs rank with
gentlemen A No. L. Again, we are told that
"being now in bis prime, the B. r. makes no
such pretensions at looking sublime. which

more to the same purpose. We are afraid that
oil these poems are too clever for us, and there
fore must decline publishing them in our 'valu-
able journal We suggest, however, that they
be sent to General Morris, the Horace, or Bry-
ant, the Homer. Of American poets They print
green poetry enough In a month to set up half
dozen country newspapers :or couple Of years.
THE HI.roaT or rHK WrpE AwASEs.-We
publish to-day fall and concise history Of the
new black republican organization of "wide
Awskes''-a body Of voters Numbering through
out the Northern States nearly half a million
strong. They are regularly disciplined, drilled
and uniformed force, and are to the republican
party Just what the Know Nothing clubs were
to the American party. The account We give

republican sources and the Wide Awakes them

the statements Of the party generally that the dn

the republican party-st the polls; but II l. the

that these half million Of men are regularly
