nefedl e-DlueDeInoeraefG-iE pubflcan~ Yan-Buren Demagogue, is an animal not ex- actly defined in any book of Natural History He is man in about the same degree as the fowl of Diogenes which he brought into Pla- to's school with his feathers all plucked off. The animal Is found in the United States alone, though there IS variety of the same species existing in England, of whom Cob bett is the higf-priest and oracle. He has the same dread of common sense and politi- cal honesty, that man afflicted with the hy- drophobia has Of pure water. It is almost impossible to define the ( crittur,' as he is q non-descript animal, to the composition Of whom go no particular set of principles Some were formerly federalists, some nulli- fiers, some for the tariff, some against it, some for the Bank, and some against 1t, but the greater proportion have always consider ed it beneath their dignity to have any prin-

 

 might have had, have been moulded to suit the taste of Martin their Archimagus.- They are to be found of all ranks and condi- tions. Some ride in their coach and six, with outriders in livery-and these are great ene- mics to the aristocrats and great friends to the people. Some are lawyers, and they shout lustily for the laboring men. If you wish to find specimens of them, they can be seen at all hours of the day, standing at the corners and sitting on the counters of shops where whiskey IS drunk-talking vehement ly of the Baltimore Convention and the De- mocracy of New York. They go for the de- mocrats-that is 10 say, they drink whiskey with them, and shake them by the hand when they are electioneering for office. Some of them, already themselves in office, (thereby becoming thrice purified republicans, sit on the side walks and bet hats, boots, panta- looms and shirts on local elections, with which they have as much business as Satan had in Heaven, or q pig in a frilled shirt. These are the men that sell paper and tgine to the Post office department, whereby the said depart

 

 ment gets grievously in debt. They are fond of extra allowances, which, 1t must be allow ed, are very substantial matters. They like decent editors, and therefore they support the Globe and Shadraeh Penn These arc the men by whom arc selected and appointed all post-masters, custom-house officers, Territo rial judges, &c., whereby all the talent in the country is employed in its service. Before any man is admitted to their ranks, his oual- fications as to honesty and capability, are ex- amined by Amos Kendall and the Rev. 0. B. Brown--and none who offered, have ever been found wanting. Their heads are like bells-for the less there is in them the more noise they make. Just at this time Arkap- sas is not much pestered with them, and the best thing the few who are here can do, is to import cargo of their two legged non-de- script brethren.
