sayA letter from Fortresr Monroe says;
"The appearance here on Sunday and
yesterday of Vice President Hamlin, with
a party Of ladies from Washington, on
general frolic, with a band of music, has
not raised the distinguished gentleman
in military or naval estimation. With
such serious surroundings and stern real
tiles as we have here, the APPEARANCE of a
pleasure party with throng of thought
less, giddy girls, is immensely condemned
Statesman.
Nero (not the poor Negro Gddled while
Rome was burning" you will recollect.-
So, many of our New England Senators
and Representative, after agitating aboli.
tion for Buncombe, all the week, up to
Saturday, relieve the monotony by Sun
day excursions down the Potomac, with
ladies, champagne and other 6xins, in gov
ernment steamers and at Uncle Sans ex-
pense. The above is not the first "gay
old time" Vice President Hamlin and
some of the Senators and Representa-
tives from New England have been on, if
the newspapers tell the truth. Gen. Wool
of Fortress Monroe, it is narrated, has
forbidden these pleasure parties to land
there, they have become such a nuisance.
On some of the excursions Uncle Sans
big cannon shot and expensive mortar
shells have been pretty freely used up, at
either fanced or real rebel batteries on
the Virginia shore of the Potomac, but as
nobody seems to have been hurt-tho shells
most always falling short of the mark into
the river--some have been SO uncharitabe
as to say that it as only done to please
the ladies, the popping at the rebels usu-
ally succeeding the popping of champagne
corks, after dinner. But seriously, these
junketings and Sunday parties Of pleasure,
in which the Vice President and other
high officials act so prominent part, are
most disgraceful. Alas, our poor country!
Had it not been cursed by the rule Of such
demagogues, it might not have seen the
sad days Of the past year.-N. II. Potriot.

Mr.. Speaker Rowe.

The above named gentleman was elected
to the House of Representatives as a
"Union Democrat" and at the organiza-
ton of that body was chosen Speaker by
the combined vote of the "Union Demo.
Gratis" and Republicans. Altho' he pre-.
tended to be Gas good a Democrat as ever"
he lost no opportunity, from the time Of
his nomination by the Republicans of Fran.
kiln county, to do all in his power to injure
the Democratic organization and to minister
to the advantage of its opponents. Not
satisfied with his agency in the defeat of
the regular Democratic nominees for rep
resentativcs in his district, Zone of whom
was the gallant Capt. Wishart, at that
time recruiting the company of volunteers
with which he is now serving in the bloody
campaign Of the South West) his vaultng
ambition and Unsuitable greed for Office in.
duced him to oppose the Democratic nom
inee for Speaker, and lend his assistance
in olecting Republicans to the other Offices
of the House. During the entire session,
on nearly every political issue, bis vote
and influence were given to the Republ can
side, whilst upon the apportionment Of
districts for members of Congress, he even
violated the plainest parliamentary rules,
and acted in the most tyrannical manner,
in order to rush through the House the
"gerrymander" of the Republican Senate
And at last, when the Speakers chair be
came too hot for him, he resigned the
gavel to the leader of Republicans, MIR
Armstrong, so that the gag might be more
effcctually applied to the Democratic mem.
bors. Mr.. Rowe has more tfan once re.
ceived honor and emolumcnt at the hands
of the Democratic party. Nay, be would
never have been heard of outside of the
village of Grcencastlc, had not the Demo-
cratic party fondled him and lf ed him up.
And now, common people-sach as have
never studied political tactics under A. X
McClure-are at loss which to admire
the more, the gratitude or the consistency
of the modeI Speaker. Well may the
Democracy exclaim:
"IIast thou not-spoken like thunder or
my side?
Been sworn my soldier bidding me
depend
Upon thy stars, thy fortune and thy
strength
And dost thou now fall over to my foes
Thou wears't lions hide dof it foi
u shame,
And hang calf-skin on those recreani
limbs !"
