have forborne the implement in type OF the
coterie of precious worthless who constitute
the bogus Virginia Government, until we
conId give a diagnosis, rs it were, of each
And, really, they are a lovely set.
And as DoGBERRY would say, "in the first
place, firstly we commence with the delec-
table PInRPoST, We Governor: His chivalry
and pluck is unQuestionable, as his person is
large. No better selection could have been
made OF a man to rule over the valiant Abo-
litionists of thwes tern Virginia, rs PIER
PoKT only permitted himself, during the TRIAL
OF a cause in Taylor county, to be knocked
down with an inkstand in the Court House
by a lawyer, born in Eastern Virginia, who
was small in person, without either the spirit
or courage to resent the affront. So wa pro-
pose, that as his schemes are as black as his
associates, and the missile with which he was
foored, that he hall be hereafter called the
"INKsTAKD GOVERNOR"
Next comes the virtuous PAISLEY, We Lieu
tenant Governor" who deserves preservation
" like fly in amber" or perhaps as more
congenial and appropriate encasement for
him. we should say, amber. This bi jou of a
man is at present q resident Of Jackson coup
ty. His life has been migratory. After va
rious tradings, he became a fifteen shilling
lawyer, and essayed practice in the Pan Han
die town Of Wellshurg. From here he took
up his tramp to the county Of his present resi-
dence, and what with swindling and shaving,
has managed to amass some money. He is a
fl Lieu tenant under Captain Inks stand"
NATHAN WILSON is the Secretary Of the
Comm on'oeo,ta. I'VE suppose this means the
So Geo that PIERPoST stole from the Weston
Bauk) This jewel No. was born in the
Camden and Amboy State Of New Jersey, and
was raised in the Metropolitan ho.-bed of
AboIitionism, Boston. Should there ever be
anything that even appropriated Common
wealth. it will be very uncommon with him
II ne does not handle good share of it.
S. r. HILpRgTH, ye Treasurer is a noted
Black Republican, and voted for tAs LII. u.
LINCOLN. His otfice will. we fear. prove ii
sinecure, unless they can rob a few more
Banks.
WILSON, who, as we do not know his first
name,we can appropria tely designate as blank
WILSON, has rejoiced with exceeding joy AS
a seller Of dry goods in Wheeling. From
calico he has been called to pres de over parch-
ment, as CLERK to the House of Delegates
This Is gem No. 4.
But chiefest among the number and ''alto-
gcther lovely" is jim HAwLEys the incor-
rupt and incorruptible Sergeant at Arms
This precious scoundrel is whilom police
officer, and ii he were capable of discharging
honestly his former calling. would no doubt
make any number OF arrests among the rogues
with whom he is now officially associated.
We came near emitting any mention Of that
luminous, or rather voluminous body, yclept
the "Virginia Legislature" 1t is composed
OF two Houses; the first, called the Senate,
has actually three members; the latter de-
signated as the House of Delegates, COM
pIises twenty seven members. This number
is most fortunate for them, for is said that on
the commencement of their sitting they were
compelled 10 60 ON tick for their liquor and
grub; but they have now passed resolution
