The society for tho relief of INDECENT politi-
clans hsTing selected Bell and Everett to pass
around the hat, some remarks are made in these |
parts BY persons interestsd in ghosts and pau
Ter politicians chiefly. Why Was not Webster
nominated alter the handsome assurance giTsn
by the late Ar. Choate that Daniel would como
down from hia pedestal upon being auitably |
called on? Some say perhaps Daniel would
come from the dead, but will Everettr Dry rot |
is supposed 10 hare finished him long SINCE
1t is hard to believe thst naau who ran from
mans duties in the Senate and took refuge in
the New York Ledger Office, will come out from
Ills retirement. save as lay figure in pauper
convention that can't afford principles to plant
is4 dead men on. Edward set cut to die Of grief
end gravestones, uartyrt to patriotic anxiety
md the Mount Vernon cause. He is dead bat
not gone to heaven Is be thought, for the aesby
man, tho carnal part, grows fat, I am told, and
poor Edward has nerer an excuse for bis
cowardly desertion Of public work. We do like
pluck in Boston town, and Everett haa none.
His faint fierceness eren is gone. We like the
cloquence Of power, and Everett has only the
eloquence Of art. OF course people run to hear
him speak his pieces, for he speaks piece as
few can. He il splendid vocal organ, but there
is no man behind the voice. He weighs lust
nothing in real conflict.
Speaking Of dead men, am reminded OF
conscience on the subject Of slavery. It is in
lis "Reminiscences Of Rufus Choate. p. 2s0, and
was uttered by Mr. Chonte in conversation on
the nomination of Fremont and the aim Of 1he
Republican movement Mr. Choate said: II
have nerer jet, however, seen the good argu-
Intnt that slavery wasn't better for the blacks
than freedom, rs regards merely their sensa-
tions-the qualification Of their merely sensual
wants. But slavery makes their whole moral
| nnd intellectual character s0reck and if they
are women, they ire damned" No wonder
| that south side Adams didn't let Rufus into
heaven. Rufus emphatic "zcreck" drives q
hole through the aimsY theories Of Adams i
Co, which Bell and Everett wont patch.
| The cate distenper, and the distemper com
missioners, rage with unabated flry in Brook
field. If things go on at the present rate the
dairymaids will wall, it killed its thousands
and they their tens Of thousands" It is con-
eeded that the disease is very contagious, that
an exposed animal must die, and that the conta-
gion can be checked only by killing all that
have been exposed. The fund supplied by the
State docs not suffice to pay for the slaughtered,
and vigorous efforts are being made to obtain
i lditional funds by subscription. 1t is sad
buainess, and looks very bad.
! Everybody is growing about tho drouth
Water in the suburbs has been sold att ten cent:
pail, so mn told, The dust is deep and sufo
eating on all highways. Tho spring is back
ward.
The Draytons hare just conclude six weeks
season here. They give light, pleasant perfor
nances, with perfect good taste and with excel
lent effect. There is nothing to strain the sen
sibillties, or offend the principles, nothing te
for sensible people to attend hare never beer
offered from the boards Of the theatre.
