MCCARTNEY on BEAMS.


IN lato number of the Metropolis Pro-
o.,igator, paper which ,hnnders on oc-
,s.ions and is the terror Of all fast-and-
loose Republicans, Mccartney, the Jove
who hurls the promulgins thuhderbolts,
declared. that zone Of the most important
requisites in any business is a full share OF
brains, and in no business is its need more
apparent than in the successful manage
ment Of country newspaper
/, affords us great pleasure to agree
with Mr.. Mccartney on subject 80 im'

The fact is, Mr.. Mccartney has too
many brains by ut least a dozen. If he
had less, he would be more successful, be-

his patrons and friends. As il is, he Is too
erea, 20 be understood, and common hui
mainly, unable TO appreciate, regards him
as a foolish fellow Of many pretensions
and little sense. Was ever greater injus-
lice done 10 any man living or dead We
do not hesitate 10 respond with a most en-
phatic and indignant negative. He is not
fool; and all the little indiosyncracies
which have given rise to this report are
explained by the fact that portion of his
brains, too finely wrought, have preycd
upon themselves, and been destroyed by
thought. As an orator, who can excel
him. Not Mr.. Mum, who has
copied his oratorical style; and not
Mr.. Linegar, who is at best but
servile imita,or of "Thc Brains Of Egyp-

Cartncy has nobly won and proudly wears.
