have already said in praise of this charming artist's performances, farther than to express the hope that it may not be long ere we are again permitted to see her upon our boards. As in beauty, grace, delicacy, and refinement, she stands alone in her profession, so in private life she enjoys, and most justly, too, the highest reputation in all her relations. Provocation. To what a low degree of debasement must the Coons have indeed fallen, when even so notorious a reprobate as Nick Biddle is disgusted with them.—Plebeian. Reply. All the notorious reprobates in the country were disgusted with the Whigs long ago. They have found their proper resting-place in the embraces of Loco-Focoism. Provocation. Our whole national debt is less than sixty days interest on that of Great Britain, yet, with all our resources the English call us bankrupt!-=– Boston Post. Reply. But England pays her interest—large as it is; and if our States will not pay even their debts, s<

otism and Enslavement more intensely when we are thus confronted by their ineffaceable impress on the souls of too many of their victims. Provocation. An article in the Sunday Mercury condemning the Tribune for excluding theatrical criticism. Reply. The last time but one that we visited a theater—it was from seven to ten years ago—we were insulted by a ribald, buffoon song, in derision of total abstinence from intoxicating liquors. During the last season we understand that Mr. Brougham—whom we are specially blamed by the Mercury for not helping to a crowded benefit—has made a very nice thing of ridiculing Socialism. We doubt whether any great, pervading reform has been effected since there was a stage, which that stage has not ridiculed, misrepresented, and held up to popular odium. It is in its nature the creature of the mob—that is, of the least enlightened and least earnest portion of the community—and flatters the prejudices, courts the favor, and varnishes th

en they know that, once across Mason and Dixon's line, they are safe from pursuit, and can never be reclaimed? Every slaveholder is in continual ap-apprehension, say you? In the name of wonder, how is Disunion to soothe their nervous excitement? They won't stand it, eh? Have they never heard of getting out of the frying-pan into the fire ? Do let us hear how Slavery is to be fortified and perpetuated by Disunion! Provocation. The excessive confidence of Whigs in the election of Henry Clay. Reply. There is an old legend that once on a time all the folks in the world entered into an agreement that at a specified moment they would give one unanimous shout, just to see what a noise they could make, and what tremendous effects it would produce. The moment came—everybody was expecting to see trees, if not houses, thrown down by the mighty concussion; when lo! the only sound was made by a dumb old woman, whose tongue was loosed by the excitement of the occasion. The rest

e me sick at heart, and, turning from the scene, I involuntarily raised my eyes towards heaven, and thought, great God! and is this War? Passing the spot next day, I saw her body still lying there with the bread by her side, and the broken gourd, with a few drops of water still in it—emblems of her errand. We buried her, and while we were digging her grave, cannon balls flew around us like hail.— Cor. Louisville Cour. Provocation. Complaints of Charles Dickens' Advocacy of International Copyright at public dinners. Reply. We trust he will not be deterred from speaking the frank, round truth by any mistaken courtesy, diffidence, or misapprehension of public sentiment. He ought to speak out on this matter, for who shall protest against robbery if those who are robbed may not? Here is a man who writes for a living, and writes nobly; and we of this country greedily devour his writings, are entertained and instructed by them, yet refuse so to protect his rights as an aut

oil. Throughout the Mexican war, the Tribune gave all due honor to the gallantry of the soldiers who fought its battles, on one occasion defending Gen. Pierce from the charge of cowardice and boasting. In 1847, the editor made the tour of the great lake country, going to the uttermost parts of Lake Superior, and writing a series of letters which revealed the charms and the capabilities of that region. In the same year it gave a complete exposition of the so-called Revelations of Mr. Andrew Jackson Davis, but without expressing any opinion as to their supernatural origin. War followed, of course. To Mr. Whitney's Pacific Railroad scheme it assigned sufficient space. Agassiza lectures were admirably reported, with from ten to twenty woodcuts in the report of each lecture. Gen. Taylor's nomination to the presidency it descried in the distance, and opposed vehemently.

Charles Fourier (search for this): chapter 21
s: If the editor of the Tribune believed a word of what he says, he would convert his profitable printing establishment into a Fourier common-stock concern. Reply. If our adviser will just point us to any passage, rule, maxim or precept of Fourier (of whom he appears to know so much) which prescribes a pro rata division of proceeds Among all engaged in producing them, regardless of ability, efficiency, skill, experience, etc., we will assent to almost any absurdity he shall dictate. e following, from the Express: For woman we think the fittest place is home, sweet home —by her own fireside and among her own children; but the Tribune would put her in trowsers, or on stilts as a public woman, or tumble her pell-mell into some Fourier establishment. Reply. The following, from the Express of the same date: At the Park this even ing the graceful Augusta, (whose benefit, last night, notwithstanding the weather, was fashionably and numerously attended,) takes her leave

Provocation. An article in a Southern paper recommending the secession of the Slave States from the Union. Reply. Dr. Franklin used to tell an anecdote illustrative of his idea of the folly of duelling, substantially thus: A man said to another in some public place, Sir, I wish you would move a little away from me, for a disagreeable odor procee

of a kind Providence, and bound to use it all as shall seem most conducive to the good of the Human Race. It is quite probable, however, that he will never satisfy the Express that he is either honest, sincere, or well-meaning, but that is not material. He has chosen, once for all, to answer a sort of attack which has become fashionable with a certain class of his enemies, and can hardly be driven to notice the like again. Provocation. An allusion in the Courier and Enquirer to Mr. Greeley's diet, attire, socialism, philosophy, etc. Reply. It is true that the editor of the Tribune chooses mainly (not entirely) vegetable food; but he never troubles his readers on the subject; it does not worry them; why should it concern the Colonel? * * * It is hard for Philosophy that so humble a man shall be made to stand as its exemplar; while Christianity is personified by the here of the Sunday duel with Hon. Tom. Marshall; but such luck will happen. As to our personal app

We fear that we shall not be able to like it, even with its groggeries and assignation-rooms shut up—but without this we cannot even begin. Provocation. A sermon by Dr. Hawks denouncing Socialism in the usual style of well-fed thoughtlessness. Reply. If the Socialists, as a body, were called upon to pronounce upon the propriety of taking the property of certain doctors of divinity and di
