THE FAMILY QUARREL.

the Times and Picaynae The REPUBLICAN
like disinterested friend, has interpose.
its best exertions to prevent it. But alas
the wrathful passions have at last broker
all restraint, and the walls of unkindnes!
have been poured out on the little bant
ling by the big rooster of the third party
reformers.
| 1t is true that each has deserved the
reproaches of the other and neither per
haps is able to say anything of its riva
SO harsh as to be unjust. But the Times
should reflect that if our friend tht
Picayeue is ''whimpering and silly" it is
young in political theory, and, like any
other baby, has not discarded its calico
short frocks. Besides it's ''wet nurses
are mostly from the country, and the
tactical fluid that sustains it is drawn from
its green heritage and fresh pastures,
where verdant grasses stand high with
walters when you ask for green's. 1t has,
perhaps, just begun the teething process,
too, and feels the initial qualms which
children always suffer in the beginning of
the summer complaint.
But the Times, as if greatly annoyed
and much out of temper that its little re-
form protege should presume to advise it's
older brother in their mutual conspiracy
to deceive the people, very unkindly as
we conceive, says Of it:
Even these silly airs might be borne with.
as the natural emanatiOns of callOw novices.
if they were relieved by an intinitesmaI in
fusion of vigor humOr or any other quality.
which is expected OF all journals that seek
to amuse or instruct the public.
Now, we admit the Picaynneis a very bad
youngster; but then, as we have said, it is a
youngster; and, although it bears the name
of very old and respectable journal, yet
it is not tie old Picayn,e. That was
staid, honest gentleman, whose views We're
expressed with consummate ability and
had weight and power in the land. The
present Pic, is perhaps, the bastard out
growth Of the other-the issue Of very
immoral Jason of those rowing Democratic
matrons who stay down III the central
committee rooms, and those fierce and
fiery knights who go out in raids from the
Customhouse, seeking whom they may de-
YOUR.
But the Times continues in a strain of
augmented Indignation:
But audacity, presumption aud assumed
over others, backed by 10 other
proofs of capacity, 10 higher authority for
criticism than the most shallow egotism and
will hardly pass current with
the people as qualifications for the success
tut conduct of a public journal and the ad-
moRltlOn and instruction OF mankind.
Again, we shall have to tell our conte1n-
oorary that its wrath is in excess. Expert
ence teaches that these characteristics are
he proverbial impulses of maynard chill
lren, especially those who have come into
he world without the sanction of proper
ties.
The genuine reformer would rather seek
o instruct it in the ways of wisdom. Let
he REPUBLICAN make a suggestion Sup
bose the Times sets the Picnyune an ex-
Imple. Let the Times come over to the |
rue faith, abandon its own unrighteous
Ways and moral detormity, and may be it
will result IN the political regeneration of

What does the Times say? This is the
suggestion.
