--familiarIy called JoNcE HooPER--of the
Montgomery DAILY Mad, tor whose columns
HORSESHOE NED writes exclusively, par
ticularly when not writing for any thing
FL &c. declines, in an editorial article every
morning, as regularly as the morning comes,
To support the ticket put up by the recent
Baltimore Convention. He declines thus
daily 10 support Messrs. BELL and EVERETT
principally because they are not as anxious
uHder certain circumstances to dissolve the
Union and play the devil generally as be is.
JoNcE is iaboring, violently az an over
loaded dray-horse, under the impression that
the Northern people have treated US South
ern folks worse than parcel of dogs. and
thar if we stand it any longer, We are no bet
ter than pack of fools, and ought to be
kick, d out OF the country. As the Balti-
more Convention did mt see fit to declare in
a + gular dOublejOinted ten-acre platform
that the South has been knocked down and
dragg-d out about as often as she means to
pui up with, and that il is now hrr higheet
ond hottest duty to withdraw at once from
tbe firm doing a Yankee Doodle and Hail
Coz NIB business under the name and style
th' United State, of America, and go into
the Wholesale trade on her own hook-as the
| Baltimore Convention did MT make an open
declaration of this sort, and did n t nominate
a couple OF candidates who are spelling, like
GANCi:Y. for a chance to precipilate disso-
luton Of the firm. JoNCE bOlted the ticket at
a tangent, and goes to pitching into it like
runaway locomotive into heavy pile oi
rocks.
For the last ten years we have made it a

how wretchedly the people of the present
