the Hon. John M0rrfsscy and the Hon. Nnr.
Gus TuiIius Cicero Stanley.
The other day the Hon. Marcus Tullius Cicero
Stanley requested us to publish the record Of
certain remarkable events in the Hon. John
Morrisseys adventurous career. This request
was probably made in retaliation for the recent
publication in another paper, by the Hon. John
Morrissey, of the record Of certain equally re-
markable events in the equally adventurous
career of the Hon. Marcus Tullius Cicero Stan
ley. or course we declined to accede to the
request; for burgiaries, robberies and such
matters ought TO be detected, punished and re-
cal excitement to injure the prospects Of rep
resentative men. The histories Of the Hon.
John Morrissey and the Hon. Marcus Tullins
Cicero Stanley may be as interesting as Ho-
mer's history Of ancient fighters and spoilers
or Fieldng's history Of Jonathan Wild, but
that is no reason why they should be dragged
before the public At this inopportune moment.
The Hon. John Morrissey and the Hon. Marcus
Tullius Cicero Stanley are distinguished
leaders of the same class Of society In this city,
and q very powerful and influential class 1t Is.
The Hon. John Morrissey will be elected to
Congress- to-day, and the Hon. Marcus Tullius
Cicero Stanley ought TO be elected to Congress
to-day, and we appeal to the Hon. Horace Gree
ley, who has been ruined by the advocacy Of
Bottled Butler, to withdraw and give Stanley .
chance In his district
Il is rs unnecessary to present the claims Of
the Hon. Marcus Tullius Cicero Stanley az Il is
those Of the Hon. John Morrissey. He is re-
publican, as Morrissey is democrat, and at
present he holds an important revenue
Office under President Johnson's administra-
ton. He wears an elegant beard and mus
tache, fashionable clothing and q splendid
diamond pin. His hair Ia elegantly curled and
his manners are susve and polished. Intei-
lectually he is ms strong and IA able to bear rs
heavy mauling as the Hon. John Morrissey is
physically. The Hon. John Morrissey h as
rough and rugged as the oak. The Hon. Mar
Gus Tullus Cicero Stanley il rs graceful and
beautiful as the palm tree. We believe TINT
they have both been connected with certain
institutions called lotteries, and that differences

were formed for each other, like David and
Jonathan or Damon and Pythias, and should
be Immediately reconciled. The Hon. John
Morrissey has done much to improve the
morals and customs NJ Saratoga during the
past two summers, and we expect that he will
open one or two Of his refined and luxurious
establishments al Washington this winter, cspe-
cially for the convenience OF his fellow Con-
grcssmen. As partner he could desire no
more able and eloquent parsonage than the
Hon. Marcus Tullins Cicero Stanley. II IL a
pity, therefore, that these two representative
men should be separated, either by private
quarrel or the chances Of an election. The
Hon. Horace Greeley used to be in favor OF
lotteries and edited lottery organ, and as he
has frankly declared himself in favor OF the
Hon. John Morrisscy, We ask him TO withdraw,
even at this eleventh hour, from q contest in
which he has bad no possible hope oil success
since Bethel Butler's speech and allow the
republicans Of this Congressional district to
nominate and elect The Hon. Marcus Tnllus
Cicero Stanley, who has . classical name, .
classical education and classical face with
which 10 offset the Hon. John Morrissey's pro-
fciency in various ancient classical games.
