Niobe and Latona.
we remember that when we were the reporter of a respectable country newspaper, we were sent to take notes of the doings of a Whig meeting, and of the speech of a certain Southern orator who had been sent for to come over and help us. After he had finished his nonsense, he approached our humble table with the front of Jupiter.
Sir, said he, do you intend to report my speech?
Certainly, was the response.
Sir, he returned, you cannot do it. You might as well try to report red-hot balls.
We took him at his word; wrote a respectable speech for him and printed it, and thereby, we then did flatter ourselves, saved for the Whigs at the election a very pretty handful of votes.
We have been reminded of this little incident by reading Cause and contrast, which is a highly peppered pamphlet, the parturient pangs of which were borne by Mr. Thomas W. McMahon, now of Richmond, in the United States, Territory of Eastern Virginia, but formerly private secretary of the Hon.

Niobe and Latona.
we remember that when we were the reporter of a respectable country newspaper, we were sent to take n for, since he compares the South to Niobe and the North to Latona, and since he also calls plain sea-faring sporting with th him to be stone dead; and why he should liken the North to Latona we do not any better comprehend, unless he expects us to s rity of the North.
One grievous fault in the character of Latona, is not so much that we have conspired against Niobe's bab le productions of the world.
It is difficult to see why Latona is to be thus shrewishly berated because she has been a go ave we not paid for it before spinning and weaving it?
If Latona has been indebted to Niobe for tobacco, we ask in the name d other goddesses, and all the appropriate gods-we ask, if Latona has not paid for that tobacco, short-cut, long-cut, pig-ta hon, the annual dowry which the South (Niobe) cast at her (Latona's) feet.
He then goes on in a dreadfully low-spirited sty

Niobe and Latona.
we remember that when we were the reporter of a respectable country newspape can vouch for, since he compares the South to Niobe and the North to Latona, and since he also cal deep.
Now, why he should compare the South to Niobe, we do not precisely comprehend, unless it is ess he expects us to shoot him and the rest of Niobe's progeny.
But when Mr. McMahon is well-mount is not so much that we have conspired against Niobe's babies, as that we have banks.
Also insuran erty; nor would he have attempted to show that Niobe is poor because she has had a monopoly of two nd weaving it?
If Latona has been indebted to Niobe for tobacco, we ask in the name of Justitia — York, but, alas!
in New York never paid for?
Niobe owes us millions upon millions, but how much do we owe Niobe, O picturesque and beautiful McMahon!
If the facts could be arrived at, we should b ays McMahon, the annual dowry which the South (Niobe) cast at her (Latona's) feet.
He then goes on
