little exfrtion on the part of the editors, nor
are they half so interesting TO the General
Rcader-a General who likes to find in his
paper proRiiscuous dash of carefully con-
sidered politics aud large and well select
ed assortment of fve-stOry homicides, daring
ard stupr ndous bank robberies, high-pres-
sure elOpements, Tonauces in real and all
other sorts of lie, and two hundred and
seyeniy-iYe thousand dollar drfalcations OF
New York Postnasters. together with full
account Of what the Benicia Boy is going to
do about the champions belt. and what ToA
SaYREs amt going TO let him do about it
| Generally speaking. the General, as gene
raj thing, does MT take great deal OF inter
est in what the Hou. Mr.. BLOoUEHEAD thinks
on the snbiect of Congressional protection to
! itinprant orgau-grinders in the territories
! Tor in the eloquent and powerful speech o
| Senator WINDMILL in support OF his ceie-
| brated resolutions touching the abolition oil
the peanut trade in the district OF Columbia
He is fully conscious that upon the speedy adj
iustment of these great matters depends the
! glory and the perpetuity OF our common
country "a country made most confoundedly
! common By its present set Of rulers); but he
| has ..i5cen l: the business" long enough to
learn rs much abont such things az he cares
| 10 know: and what he wants now is a news
paper filed with town and village romances,
| and the rascaIities of The entire country.
| Such being lis tastes aud wants. be will
| fad the pap rs less attractive than they
| might be, until the election Of BELL and EV-
| ERErT in November, up TO which good time
they will contain little else .han politics.
But to proceed. The Banner hangs out in
It's leading article several Significant Signs"
These signs are painted by different Demo-
cratic Journals of the country, and though as
works of art they are probably not worthy
place 10 the Dusseldorf Gallery, they are not
badly done, and indicate very healthy flow
of feeling towards Messrs. BELL and EVERETT
among the papers and people of that
once powerful but now PROSTATE party.
The Banner Is kind enough to give Us the
Programme of the Richmond Convention"
which was gotten up regardless of expense by
the editor of the Knoxville Register. For
small bills. Also hath the Banner brief
paragraph on the s'Ccst of Coyodeism," from
which we learn with heartfelt gratitude on
behalf of our plundered and unhappy couu-
try. that the CoyoDE Committee have ex-
amined about one hundred witnesses, and
have expended not exceeding 81, 800 upon
the work. Considering the amount OF ras-
cality they have exposed, judiciously observes
the Bqrner, that may be considered dog
Cheap AS we write this under the eye of
our Religious Editor, we can make no refer
ence whatever to the article our contempora-
nv copies from the Memphis Enquirer, headed
I'LL on Fits"
The Union and 1n1erican.-The CovoDE Com
mittee is the subject of lengthy article in
the U1ion. From that article We are panied
to learn that cur opposite-,he-Posto6iee con-
temporary does MT entertain as favorable
opinion of Mr. CovoDE and bis Committee as
we do. Fur our part, we are inclined to
think, and the i Inclination is far beyond an
| angle of forty-fve degrees, with an irrepres-
sible proclivity to lean still more, that Mr.
| COvoDE, no matter how black q Republican
| he may be, il engaged in cause which chal-
lcnges the applause of both gods and men !;
that h. is doing more for the good of the
country than anybody else has ever done, ex-
I cept GEORGE WASHINGTON. HENRY CLAY and
the Editors, Military and Local, of this
paper that when he dies the people ought
to build monument TO his memory five miles
high, and that he has clearly shown that the
| Administration and lis tools have stolen and
recklessly squandered enough of the public
money to build it. With this opinion, our
contemporary, we are sorry 10 say, does mt
| fully coincide. To tell the whole truth, hu-
initiating as it is, he does MT coincide with it
at all. On the contrary, in his capacity of
an outpost organ of the Administration, he
| thinks nobody but fool would entertain
/ such an opinion He says: This notorious
| committee which has for some time past been
actively engaged in disgracing the majority
| Of its members, is now receiving the
| same degree OF scorn from the nation
| which all fair minded mta in Con-
gress had already awarded it, II the
Committee had been actively engaged
in dIgrac:ng majority Gifts members" alone,
J our neis hbor would MT be so severely down
upon it; but unfortunately for its hopes of
winning the coed opinion of the Union, it
has been actively engaged at the same time
in disgracing. or in exposing the disgrace, of
great many other people. Here's tbe lump
on The collar which makes the CALLED jade
vince; or as the attentive Frenchman re-
marked while pointing out to a stranger the
lions in Pandemonium, Ciest la le dialge The
Union complains With some bitterness of the
villainously one-sded conduct of the commit
tee, aud with some show of justice, too, we
must say; for it would seem that when the
committee had produced u hundred witnesses
TO testify that they saw the Administration
and its hangers-on steal thousands of the
public money, Mr.. CoyoDE declined to I'm
mon another hundred who were willing o
swear that they did MT see them steal it.
les CoyoDE. we must condemn you there.
While endeavoring to be just, you should
not have forgotten to be generous. After
you had proven to the satisfaction of the
country that there were rogues in the high
places OF the Government, if any poor devil
wanted to come forward and establish his
character by swearing that he had never
happened to be with them when they stole
anything, you ought to have permitted him
TO kiss the book. 1t could MT possibly have
done any harm, and it would have been a
qualification TO him. But no matter about
that now; go on
"with your old stride from swndle to swindie.''
and let the broad light of day pour in upon
them; let the veiied prophet ofthe Govern
