The Daily Dispatch: June 18, 1863., [Electronic resource], The Carnival of Jackasses. (search)
is somewhat marred by the reflection that the objects of our animadversions will never take what we say to themselves; for their hides are so thick with self-conceit and arrogance that no spear of mortal fashioning could ever penetrate them, or if it could, would hurt a carcase which was never conscious of sensibility.--Like the swine, they have no blood in any surface part of their systems, and we should as soon think of putting a hog to death with the prick of a steel pen, as disturbing their composure with letting them know what the public think of them. But an avenging Nemesis is on the heels of these pseudo sons of Mars, "soldiers in peace and citizens in war," who dare to treat with contumely and contempt the suffering and wounded heroes of our country. The lions of this war will live in history, and so will the jackasses clothed in the lion's skin, and penned up in a hollow square, where honest men will laugh and jeer at the absurd and sorry spectacle till the end of time.
