by a standing advertisement, to be
the only Republican paper published

However true this might have
been when the paper was new to life

world since another Day has risen

Its dreams, it cannot be so readily
seen from its contents that it is a
Republican paper at all nor is it
"obvious" why every Republican
should read it. If it be true what it
said in last Wednesdays issue of
Hutton and his paper, published
around the corner on the east, it is
very obvious that every Republi-
can ought to discontinue the Union
and at once subscribe for Hutton's
paper; for the Union, with its unlim-
tied verbiage, and it's superlative ex-
travagance of statement in adulation
or depreciation, cannot reach by
many a hundred cubic's height the
exalted standard and excellence it ac-
cords to HIS paper. But it was
surely a revelation to many that
Mexico had, all by itself, a paper and
an editor of sc many unique and par

we read with joy unspeakable that
that dear editor never said anything
harmonious of anybody or anything (;
that he never tried to be severe, even
unto humiliation were it possible.
Yet, with all achieved, nothing but to
show the immense intellectual void
about which he Notwithstanding
the product of the dizzy whirl about
the vortex of his own vacuity for the
divine afflatus of infinite wisdom.
But not to dwell on that pigmy
theme, the wonder of it all is, how
poor Day is to be profited by having
such travesties of, or burlesque or
facts hashed up for publication fol

What pleasure or profit they are ex.

chat the Intelligencer is the best paper

man and the only fit man to represen'
this district in Congress, is past oul
comprehension. Why a Republican
newspaper (if it be one) should b,
the special champion of a Democratic
Congressman and take every occasion
in season and out of season, to sing
the praise of some Democrat or some
thing Democratic, with a sling syco
plancy so beneath the dignity of tru'
manhood that it is nauseous and dis
gushing; and then wonder hat Re

very pitiable kind of lunacy, is it not
Does poor Day think that they cal

The Union is afflicted with a liter
airy hasher-up of editorial matter win
