a very sickly imitation of Cervantes, but
L can also discover slight tinge of Moth
er Goose's Melodies. He is like an I'M
fortunate monkey, which, initiating his
masters shaving, cut bis throat with
razor.
The two most prominent facts that he
shows in his article, are, that he is Dem
ocrat and that he has read Don Quixote
He shows another fact also, and that is,
he is thief Notice his last paragraphs,
when he gets warmed up to fever heat.
there he evidently flches little from
his favorite authors.
That "Notoriety'' which Parent" first
gave, aud which "Amicusp stole, is too
silly. There is danger, however, of at
tracing q little attention, when there are
so many woolly ours barking at one heels.

another heavy phrase "Alnaa later,"
which with Anatcus was taught him when
he was little boy with his mother. But

Dillon make faces to tickle the babies.
Now l proceed to review his remarks
upon my article. Here, especially, shall
l prove that "Amicus' is an ass. He
opens with weak pun-"O"(hD, says
he. Cheap purs are out Of taste, and
condemned by all good writer's. The ele-
CANT Addison says it is sign of foolish
ness. Here he makes boast of aUaeiiig

like toad bursting with wind. Tn the
second paragraph, he flaps his wings ard
quacks in humid air. In the third para
graph, he speaks of c1asteness. Here our
hero weeps; he shrieks with misery; and
| think the whole Democratic party
groans with piety and covers its modest
face. Dear readers, I have poetic soul,
and it is with reluctance that I step into
the mud. Remember, then, that [ have
dealt with dirty subiect-Democracy.
Clinical operations are often vulgar, but
are necessary to life.
The first feat of scenic effect that our
hero performs in the third paragraph, is
to slip in the eccreD2eatittous deposit of a
COW. Thus staining his white robes, he
cries, and calls me names. The fact is |

one of the most distinguished writer's of
America.
That paragraph in7''my first article in
which the age Of Dryden is referred to,
and which is a standing horror to the
Democratic party, is more than equalled
by strength of description given to the
stage by one of the most elegant of En-
glish historians. Such is the ignorance
Of my foes. These pure fellows are anx-
io6s to throw what they call my coarse
ness into the eyes of the people. What
does this show. 1t shows not only their
own immortality, but it shows. sspite and
folly.

tygerish appetites. But to the dissec-
ton, sinA-spoah Of hell hurts the hero, he
kicks Justify in the spout. From moral
heat he butts against GuUtsna. Is that
word wrong? Ought to call it male
coacisnl ? One Of the bestl papers in
America calls the English women Mrs.
Bull. After spiting at me for using the
Scriptures in politics, he himself deliber-
ately daubs religious term.
Hlsreference to my invective on' Brick

against rule he Tugs in a parenthesis.
Then notice how weak the idea of the

why ''Brick" does not use ink instead of

better. His stuf' in the rest of the para
graph do not touch for its foolishness

La the fifth paragraph, he says he has

paragraphs, he is filled with distressing
query as to my knowledge of medicine.
