ANOTHER RooRHAcK .-Thurlow Weed has just
introduced another Roorback into the field OF po-
hucs; OUT one far more pleasing and felicltous

very beautiful article, said TO be from the pen of
young lady giving few sketches-fancy sketches
which designated "Unrecorded Passages in
the Life OF an American Statesman, and in reality
purporting to be sketches of the life of Mr.. Clay


Like the fashionable novels of the day, these
sketches, which we republish in another column,
may be said TO be founded on fact. They are writ
ten with great beauty and facility, and the female
Roorback, to whom they are attributed, has certain
ly done herself great honor in giving such an ele-
CANT and successful illustration of what political
writing ought to be; whilst Thurlow Weed has, in
the publication OF these "passages" wiped off some
OF the dark stains which had stuck TO his character
IN consequence of, inconsideratelyto say the least

fiction and giving it in his paper as the truth We
desire our readers, particularly our political rea-
ders, to peruse atentvely these very pretty effu-
sions. They exhibit new species of political
writing which we would greatly desire to see more
general and popular. This is species of Roorback-

We are very happy also to see that Thurlow
Weed is beginning TO make an effort in the way OF
improvement. 1t is true that he is yet long way
of, and has very long journey before him, ere he
can reach that point where humanity is admitted to
be gentlemanly. But he is not yet too old TO learn
how to become civil, discreet, moral and respect.
able man in his political capacity. There is yet
hope even for him if he bring forth fruits meet for
repentance. His conscience must, indeed, surely
treat him severely enough at times, when he comes
to reflect on the violent articles and excessive Vi
tuperations which he has admitted into his journal,
rehectng some of the best men in the country;
and all too with an air ofpatriotism which, added to
the disgusting odour Of hypocrisy and the vleness
ofthe scurrility. Still, said, there is hope for
Thurlow; and with the evidence before us Of his
having taken the first step towards reformation, we
cherish the hope that he may yet be admitted into
civilized society. In the Of decency, we bid
him go on and do the best he can.
