a PARALLEL BETWEEN Mr.
JOHNSON AND THE CABNAN,s
HoRsE.-When that illustriouS
man, Mr.. Pickwick, left Groswell
street, on his adventures, he en-,
countered a pugnacious cabman.
from whom he extracted some
valuable information in regard to
his hosre. This incident applies
with melancholy force to the pres
ent condition of Mr.. johnson.
Speaking of the forlorn animal
which he was driving, the cabman
SAID, ''when he's in, we bears him
up very tight, and takes him in
very short, so as he can't VERY
well fall down; and we got a pair
o precious large wheels on, so ven
he'does move, they run after him,
and he must go on--he can't help
lt'' This is precisely Mr.. John
sons condition. His enemies.
like the cabman, rein him I'D
VERY tight" take him up "wer.
ry Short" and the Senate and
House furnish "pair O precious
large Wheels" which keep him
moving whether he will or no.
And, to follow our parallel, there
can be but little doubt from pres
emit indications that Mr.. johnson
will in the end, be like the cab.
mans horse, which always fell
down when "took out of the cab.v
When this happens it becomes
highly probable that old Ben
Wade, like the exasperated cab
man, will offer to fight us "for q
shilling" or, indeed, just for the
fun of the thing.

ANDREW Johnson. MARTYR

ANDREW JOHNSON, MARTYR
That this accidental President
with Jerry Black or other respec.
table legal minds to write his full
limitations, has made q tolerably
fair record, none can gainsay
But has he done more than his
duty, or even his duty; and il
either, in what manner? Always
as a trimmer, avoiding response
bility, consulting party, aud cater
ing to the sympathies of the pop
ulace. AS a stickler's for states
rights, he deserted his state in
the hour of trial, fled to Cincinnati,
and there with tears in his ewes
made a speech to a mongrel herd
of Abolitionists-this made him
Vice President. AS a stickler
for the Constitution, he has sat in
the chair of Washington and jeff.
erson and with paper protests in
his hands, witnessed it's degrade
ton, and between a sense of what
he should do, and a fear of what
he could do, excited the contempt
of his enemies and the sympathy
OF his friends-this is to make
him President. God save the
mark
There is a sufficient lack of pa
trlotism now in the land, and we
want no more obstacles to it's
growth. A republic such as ours
is poor enough even with a gen
tleman and statesmen as its rep
resentative. The tendency is
from one species of radicalism to
another, and there lies a danger
which we should endeavor to
avert. Let us have for our next
President a Conservative States

night to murder Judge Ogden

the President of falsehood. Town

delegate, who moved to censure.
Townsend replied he didn't care
for the censure of the convention,
and intimated that there were no
gentlemen on the Radical side of
the house. Barry, the author of
the ordinance, replied, if they
should guage their status by that
