Mr.. EEtor:

a smile Of pity. 1t is ridiculous con-
glomcration which would be entirely with.
out cohesion we're it not for the Ego run
ming through every sentence and linking
the various parts together. 1t is |, |, |,
from FIRST to last. This modern Solomon
after declaring that certain things seemed
/ TO him pisc rbapsodscs thus upon RePnb'
licauiSm 1T is my firm conviction that
the world is tending to RepublicaDism and
that our great Republic is to be the guild
lug star to all others" Alas! the partisan
IaglcssNcss of the party in power has pro-
duced its inevitable eGIG%1 The ernino Of
a once pure judiciary 9gaNtbo togas of a
once noble Senate, af6 alike foulfy stained
with qorrupIiog While the President Of
our Union sends forth bis royal cdicIs,
sustaining the most shameful prostitution
of thcsehigh positions and converting his
model Republic into the, most putrid Of
centralized governments guiding star
Heavens! what bitter irony this, coming
as it. does Immediately in the wake of our
great Congressional disgrace, which for
all future ages will bring the blush Of
shapCto the cheeks of every true Ameri.
can We can scarcely believe that the
words came from one sitting in the very
midst ofili rcpt pool of national coz
ruptiOu; from one, too who, so recently,
like Brcmmus'tbe Gaul, flung his ruthless
sword into the scales, q justice, subvcrtsd
the true, government of a noble State, aud
fastened upon peoplo'uocked with the
name Of rrecdop., a. A"raAir GU, %s-.e'I'
which even the partiaaO Congress had pro
nounccd to be without one shadow of
right Wocanuot conceive how so un-
charitable a wish as to the rest of the civ,
ilized world, could have eman0ted from
the same heart which in subsequent Por.
ton ofthe address pours forth so piously
its millcDial strains. King Solomon next
adyerts to social equality between the
whites and colored, under which head he
frateruaIy intimatcs that the negro should
have the equality which is now denied
him. Should attend the same schools,
ride in the same coaches aud eat at the
same table with his pale faced friends.
His penetrating intellect also discovers
that railroads and the telegraph are excel
lent things In fact, telegraph wires and
steam engines run 50 freely through this
rare production that one might easily i'm,
agiae the glowing composition of some Gu,
thusiastic schooIboy He apologies for
his Sauto Domingo action, and promises
not to do so any more, unless the wealth
er.cocks point in that direction.
Then with bis poetic eye in fnc frenzy
rolling he drops into his milleuial strain,
aud plays on harp ola thousand strings
spirits Of inst men made perfect" Speak
ing of the danger anticipated by many
that in the event Of a too latiiudinOas ex'
tension of our borders, the Union may uI
,imatoly be destroyed, his elastic spirit
again impalicnty takes refuge in railways
and tclegraphs-thcsc, be says, will hold
us together. All yes! His eagle imog,
nation has here at last attained the sum
mum Jonum. Celestial kilograms have
brought the happy tidiOgs to our Prosi
dental Prophet Celestial railways, all
laden with peace and harmony are soon
to upitize the world for U. S. Grant
has said Rather do | believe that our
great Maker is preparing the world, in his
own good time, to become one nation,
speaking one language, ard when armies
and navies will be no more required "
Still soaring in the spread eagle style be
declares that in future his efforts will be to
restore good feeling paving the way for
his millennium in ron's, while n drcds he
is stirring up strife by issuing such in
Cendiary orders as that. the La kellogg
government which was born of such fraud
and shame that even the Radical Congress
severely rcpudintes it, shall he sustained
at the point Of the Federal bayonct
Again he lets fall the information which
is well worthy of such fountain Of wis.
dom. that the wars of determination ARE
(drs) expensive and (sccos1ly) wicked
