The transcripts Leaders.

The transcripts Leaders.
The Prescott Transcript is published
in this city every Saturday, and contains
"leaders" averaging about few columns
in length, which is nearly all we know
about them, having read but two of those
published this season. VA
We should be glad to occasionally
copy leader from our contemporary, to
show to our own readers what its view VS.
are. but two columns is too much to read
even,-far too much to reprint. But not
to leave our readers in utter ignorance,
we give few extracts from the leader in
the Transcript of Aug. oath
When great trial is upon people,
when the shadows of a mighty terror
wraps nation within its sable folds,
when from out the rayless murky gloom
starts the glare of the angry lightning,
and the rumbling of the chariot wheels
of the Storm-King is heard afar, and the
low moan of the tempest like the sigh
ings from the darkness OF Pluto, pro-
claim the oncoming of the hurricane in
the might of its power, then let every
murmur be hushed to silence
That is what we call the "all-fred
Observation-Disclosures" style of rhetoric
y don't like it. Doubtless what the
writer meant to say was that when the
Government is in danger, unjust criticism
should cease.
Again, the writer asks the following
question
"Have YOU become so charmed with
the basilisk glare of the serpent's eye,
which is now Kissing out its venomed
malice, that you can watch it coiling its
shiny folds around the writing, expiring
form of the goddess of Liberty, without
one effort to save her from its fatal EN-
brace ?" : s4 ,ae
That's powerful picture But we
never before heard of a serpent's eye
Kissing out malice, coiling its folds, etc.
But we sympaihise deeply with" the
writing, expiring form of the Goddess
of Liberty" If that is her condition,
our honored and loved female friend is
evidently in a bad fix. The Goddess
afore mentioned is supposed to keep
house near Washington, aud if she is in
so desperate condition, we are sure that
our gallant friends, Capt. Dill, M. H.
Fitch, and others who are in that vicinity,
viii either rescue her. writhing FORM
or perish in the attempt. We trust and
believe that the Goddess will not "peter
out" just yet, but will be the same blessed
friend to our posterity that she is to US.
Again az5s5z a5ss eaiua9
We envy not the posthumous celeb
rity of those persons who will now speak
words on which is the faint of treason"
That's good /! "Posthu aous celebri-
ty" is good phrase it makes one feel
solemn; it ought to scare the miscreants;
its happy phrase too, as any one but
genius would have simply said, posterity
will damn the traitors.
This article is already too long, and
we close with three suggestions
1. Compositions are not always good
political leaders.
2. Common grammatical rules should
always be observed in writing articles in
tended for publication.
8. There is an article in the atlantic
Monthly for August, entitled, "Concer-
ming Veal" 1t treats of immature lite
rarv productions. We would affection
ately advise the writer CT the article we
have noticed, to read it. 1. may do him
good.
