The SIaaslerer.

Number the midnight watches, on his bed,
pevisiug mischief; and early rose,
And made most helliSh meals OF good mems
names,
while OF his face. thrown back Icy injured
men,
In characters of ever blushing shame,
Appeared ten thousand slanders, all his own"
Like certain individual, OF whom HU-
pIBRAs or somebody else has made con-
spicuous mention, our good friend Dr.
zARD of the DEM d Sent. has become
quite renowned for profound and solid
lying. 1t is very true, that many of the
creatures of his distempered imagination,
however piquant they may have been at
the outset, have become quite stale by
being so often repeated through his col
umns. Still, it must be remembered,
that, as one by one he wears them thread
bare, he judiciousiy Supplants the old by
the new, and not unfrequently gives us
something, which, by reason Of its entire
originality, is really refreshing and invig-
Grating. So prolific is the brain of our
DIzzARD in this regard, that we would
long since have dubbed him the Father
of Lies, if that fitting appellation had not,
at very early day, been bestowed upon
his distinguished primogenitor. As it is,
we cannot do better than to name him
the Mother OF Lies-a title which will be
quite as truthful and appropriate, when it
is remembered that, in his habits and
tastes at least, DIzZARD is very like unto
an old woman
DIZzARD has, at divers times, and in
sundry ways, honored us by expressing
his entire disapprobation of our political,
as well as our editorial career; and he
has, on numerous occasions, Jignifed us,
by making our humble self the object of
lies, whose ponderosity and specific gray
ity it would be difficult to calculate.
Our readers are fully posted in regard
to these matters !; they know how we have
met them therefore we shall not trouble
them with recapitulation but are con-
tent that between him and US they shall
be the arbiters But Mother DIzzARD
las lately brought forth something new.
And like the celebrated mountain which,
after astonishing all the neighbors, and
undergoing any amount Of labor and pain,
finally brought forth mouse, he Cor she
as the case may be- doubtless had quite
a time Of it.
And this brings US down to cursory
examination of his celebrated two-and-a
half column article, which is neither more
noi less than a tissue Of lies from begin
ming to end. His old rant about Aboli-
tionism, fanaticism, bigotry, ignorance,
negro equality and opposition to foreign
ers, we treat as we do their author-as
being entirely beneath our contempt
They can have no abiding place with us
they are the vile, scurrlous, indecent, un-
founded declarations of low and scabbv
clown, and the beauty of it is, the Peo-
pie know it. As to his silly bombast

and also about our having at another time
eaten at the same table with one in Will
more-these are matters which we are
told "will be proved, and established by
uncontroVertible evidence, when the
proper time arrives" If this be so, then.
''when the proper time arrives" we will
answer them. We await with anxiety
the startling developments 10 be made by
the witnesses, named aud to be named,
against us. We are always ready to coa-
front respectable accuser, feeling sub
lime consciousness that we have never in
our life done anything Of which we have
the slightest reason to be afraid OF asha-
med In the meantime, we must be ex-
cusea for not taking issue with DizzARp.
Nobody believes what he says, at any
rate. aud TO go 10 the trouble Of denying
all the silly stories which he trumps up,
would be to impart to him and them
degree of dignity and Importance which
they by no means deserve, We really
oanuot afford it.
Bat this something new" that DIz-
z.aD has brought forth--What is it
Is It monster, o. IS it--something else ?
