ridiculous IN their tone. de abuses Doug
las and his supporters with all the little
virility Of which he is capable. "Gorman,
ard Phelps" and "more particu-
larly Sibley." he consigns to pcrdition with
A gravity truly comical; and he furnishes a
great deal Of valuable information in regard
to Minnesota politics ono item, which is a
specimen Of the rrst, being that with Doug
las nominated, the Democracy Of Minneso-
"a would receive an overwhelming defeat F.;
but with GEN. LANE or my other good
Democrat, we would certainly bc victorious ~
In conclusion he refers to US as impugning
the motives Of Messrs. Becker. Fridley and
Hgerton--which is lie, as everybody knows
and SO it is useless to say more ON this sub.
ject-.and winds up BY saying he always con.
sidcred US q desperate kind Of a man. and
consequently has always made it a point t.
keep out Of our way-which We would ad
wise him still to do, as in all probability it will
save US the trouble Of kicking him out
Fearing that persons not we'll informed
might think from his statements there was
some familiarity between US, we would state
that the following are all the occ asions upon
which we have ever been brought into invol.
untary contact with this Young:
Going into the hall in which the Demo
cratic Ststa Copvnp%;on xpoa hold lce% Az
gust, we saw an insignificant looking little
fellow, dressed in rusty black-doubled ur
till he resembled spread eagle, or a drunk.
en- Toodles trying to pick up knot hole
for walnut--with one coat tail over his
head and the other dangling lonelily be
tween his !egs-his left hand on his stou,.
ach and his right engaged in fourishing an
old pair Of dirty kid gloves, squirmine
around in all sorts Of convulsions and
contortions, and yelling "bloody murder;;
our first impression was that it was some poo,
fellow with the belly ache begging for q
bottle Of Perry Davis pain killer, and be
ing Of a charitable disposition we were about
to commission small boy to run down
town after one when friend noting our
anxious look, said, don't be alarmed cit is
only Editor Young spreading himself for
the one hundred and fifty second time this
morning." consequently we sat down and
watched the performance with interest. Mr..
Young grew more and more excited. Hc
shook himself like wet dog. He jerked
out his words, and We feared lest like
Charles De Moor, ''his joints would be shak-
en- asunder," (that ''his tongue would cleavc
to the roof his mouth" we had not the
least hope.) He sputtered away and the
saliva bountifully besprinkled the heads Of
his neishbors. His voice at first as shrill
as the sharpest notes Of the Swinette, grew
hoarse rapidly and finally becoming :'husky
as = corn cob and unable to speak, he
collapsed, making little run towards the
door-like ballet girl from the stage
as if too modest to face the applause which
was expected to follow; but tho little run
was entirely unnecessary, as nobody ever
thought Of applauding, which he perceiving
looked very sheepish as he pretended to be
searching for the boy that peddled lemonade
And all this noise Young made in inform.
ing tho Convention that because he, (Young)
had fought the Know Nothings up to his
knees in blood, (fgurative Of coursc,) in
the streets of Baltimore, that the motion be.
fore the House was out Of order. Mr..
Young went through performances Of this
kind many times during the day. After
the convention adjourned we lost sight o.
Young and did not hear Of him again til
he came up to the convention, last winter
not as delegate but just to blow around
and make himself ridiculous generally.
From that Convention Mr.. Young went homo
and reported that he had quarrelled with us
which was an untruth, as we never had any
thing to say to the man, or noticed him in any
way but ho evidently thought it would be an
honor to DO abused by la, and consequently
went around like tho loafs. that u gert!eman
kicked of his steps, proud to display the
bruises he had received from gentlcman's
foot; the only difference was that Mr.. Young
invented his own bruises. We never would
think of abusing n man like him-a man who,
like the Scotchman's Jocko, "1f l have him
by the collar can make him bite you but il
YOU have him by the collar you can make him
bite me-" No, VIC never could strike such a
poor irresponsible creature for following out
the instincts OF his lowly nature, and ALWAYS
do, and always will, consider such specimens
~ tit subjects, not for blows, but for laughter ;
and if he hopes by his attacks on us to prov okc
usinto controvery-deg'ading as such would
bo to US, and exalt;ng to him-he is much
mistaken.
