SOME MIXED METAPH0E3 IN A POLITICAL
MANIFESTO.
"Avoid all mixed metaphors," says Blair in his
"Lectures on Rhetoric'' "A figure of speech is
intended to add to the force of an expression
by drawing a picture -which will Illustrate the
meaning. If two pictures are presented, thcjmlnd
Is distracted and the eiluct weakened lustead of
stronfrthened." Now if we can receive Blair as
an authority on such a subject, In contradiction
to William A. Wallace, Chairman ot the Demo
cratic State Central Committee, then we must
censure the address of the Committee as too
florid. That wonderful document partakes of
the richness of Eastern elocution. It abounds
in tropes and similes, and is just such a produc
tion as the Rabbi Mahokmg would probably
use in describing the enchanting groves of Para
dise to his friend Ali Mustafba. AH, nature is
put under contribution, and a fertility of illus
tration resetted to which could only have been
indulged in by some follower of the Prophet.
In its way it is a great success. Taking the
number of metaphors as a standard of excel
lence, It is a masterpiece, while the distinctness
of the picture painted far outrival the cele
brated description of Irish treason bv Sheridan
when be declared that "He smelt a mouse, he
saw it floating in the air, and would nip it in the
bud." ...... " ' v
Without preface, however, we will give some
specimens of that wondrous document, and
show to our readers how the untutored mind
expresses ltse if in the rich imagery of nature.
We propose to deal only with the theatrical
beauties, leaving th self-evident political truths
enunciated to the unbiassed judgment of our
readers. They are all so thoroughly recognized
by the Republican party and universally intel
ligent men, that It Is Idle to demonstrate axioms.
Now for the picture painting. We ai etirst assured
that ..
" The rights of the white man are submerged
in eflorta to eevate the negro, and the black
man is sought to.be made a controlling element
in the politics of the Republic." , ,
Here the picture presented is true to nature.
The rights are submerged, that is, put under the
water, and the effect is to elevate an element, j A
new law of hydrostatics is enunciated, and here
after, instead of using pulleys and levers to raise
a block of stone, all that is necessary is that we
submerge something else, and the elevation will
be secured. Let Wallace cry, with Archimedes,
"Eureka 1 Eureka!" - I
"Centralization seeks to rear its despotic
power upon the t-vins of the Constitution, and
oresiiadows a war of races for its accomplish-',
ment." j
If we rear upon ruins we foreshadow. Proba
bly this sentence Wffi found, liko Gb&y's Elegy,
upon the step in which the architectural phe
nomena described did actually occur. And
while he watched some workmen rebuild a'
house blown down by a storm, he noticed the
shadow made by the men building, aud im
pressed this unique feature into his manifesto.
"Proscription and disfranchisement usurp
the places of magnanimity and clemency, and
discord and hate "combat Christian charity aud
national concord."
J Now; this sentence Is faultless. We quote it
here not to Illustrate a parable, but merely be
cause it is new. No one ever heard of a usur
pation and a combat as being applied ro a
difference of opinion. Truly, Huskin pales be
fore the originality ot Wallace.
"Congress refuses to nourish the resources
necessary for pavment of tne debt of the Re
public, and loads with taxation toe industrial
interests of the Worth. Congressional extrava
gance is the rule; economy in public affairs the
exception." t i - - - ; i
Here is Congress, the mother, refusing to
nourish, not her children, but her, resources. -
We should have supposed that it would have
been more natural to furnish resources in orcier
to supply nourishment, but then we are not as
familiar with nursing children as Mr. Wallace.
As a contradistinction to nourish we have the
process of loading. This 5s called antithesis. , If
you do not nourish a chltd you load it, whether
wltb a bundle or like a gun is not mentioned.
"A Convention of representative men from
each of the United States has met within the
past week; they have forecast the future, agreed
in sentiment, and dispersed to their homes." i
This is-climax. We are to . be surprised, at
tbelr forecasting' the future. But that is com
paratively easy. We are astonished at their
agreeing in sentiment, because that is , more
difficult; but we are to be amazed at the culmi
nation of their proceedings, the dispersion to
their homes. - ' ' ' j
But one more word, and we are done with this
abridged dictionary of trite metaphors j .
"Composed of men of every section, holding
every sliade of political opinion, they have re
enunciated the eternal principles that he at the
base of our institutions, have renewed their
-vows of fealty and of brotherhood,, and have
joined hands in a united effort to restore the
Union and preserve the Government created by
the Constitution.'' -
. The process of holding a' shade is a simple one,
but then to lie it at the base of anything is a
little more difficult " - - J
But we cannot go further. Every sentence
baa its word pictures, created to illustrate the
point; and if there be some enterprising artist of
s the Democratic persuasion, wq would suggest
that he get out a series of wood-cuts, U be ap
pended to each sentence, in order that the effect
be more vivid. If the Democratic party ;an
resist this appeal they have none of the in per
i feelings of our common nature . and' are totally
unfitted to be. advice for the Arabic orator,
or even lor "JUetapiior" W4llacb. 1 11
IRELAND AND THE CAUSE OF "UNIVERSAL
HOTwrrHBTANDraa tlie ettorts " 0f Geo bub
Francis Train, and , eprea(i-eaKle ; poll
itciana generally, to pervert , the1 VtMu,
organization to' the ' ends.,- of ' apiutbia-'
ehip, we are glad to sea that its true lea.airg
are dally becoming more and more convinced
that the cause of human freedom is one the
world over, and that the true friends of Ireland
jnunt be found not among the upholders of aris
tocracy and slavery, but among the frleuda and
supporters of universal liberty. We are glad to
see that President Robrrtx, in a late speech,
lakes high and noble ground on this subject,
avowing his sympathy with the "friends of free
dom everywhere. Of a similar character ardthe
following remarks, made by that gallant soldier
of Irish descent, tfajor-Ocneral John A. Looam,
at a recent great Fenian gathering (n Illinois:
"So far as your strutgle for Irish indepen
dence is concerned, you have roy whole heart
on your side. My lather whs born In county
Monahan, Ireland, and struggled long for Irish
freedom. He taught me the lesson, and I learned
it well the lesson of undying patriotism that
swears eternal enmity to all oppressions. So,
then, when you ask the true American whether
he is in favor of Irish libeity and opposed to
British oppression, he lavs his baud upon this
heart, ana Bwt-ars before hieb neaven eternal
fidelity to Irish Independence. It has bnoa
natnral for an Irishman to join the Democratic
party, misled by the name. My lather was a
Democrat. I have been a Democrat, but this
Rebellion ha changed the status of parties
altogether. We can all see plainly now where
the line Is run that, parts patriots Irom traitors.
You must not longer be deceived. Every
friend of Ireedom is the Irldn J of Irish freedom,
and to lover of universal and Impartial uf
trace only can Irish patriots go to And true
friends. The man who would enslave a black
man would enslave an Irishman If he could.
You have been egreglously mistaken in sup
posing that the slaveholders have been your
friends. They have despised you lust a they
have despised black elaves and all poor white
men, and have only fed you with whisky when
they wauted your votes."
There Is sober truth In these remarks. The
so-called Democratic party in the United 8tates
is but the counterpart of the aristocratic and
despotic parties In the Old World. It Is the' foe
of freedom and human progress. '. It did all ttiat
It could lo extend and perpetuate the worst
system of chattel slavery that the world eVer
saw, and even now it is doing all that it can to
prevent the enlightenrnt-nt and progress of more
than four millions of our people. It Is vain to
expect any honest sympathy with Ireland's op
pressions from such a party. If Us orators
attempt to. say anything for Ireland, they cou
ple their remarks with the vilest outpourings of
prejudice and hatred against the poor and op
pressed of our own land. How disgusting to every
noble and generous instinct to hear a man
prating of Ireland's wrongs, and with the same
breath urging his hearers to put their feet upon
the necks of another down-trodden race 1 What
inconsistency! What hypocrisy! Not from
such men will Ireland receive her enfranchie
ment. : ;'..-!. - !
The cause of liberty is a universal one. It Is
not bounded by races, or liunte 1 to any people.
It embraces all 'muni ind in its aims and efforts.
He who seltishly attempts to limit freedom to
his Own race and people, in that very act; deserts
the sacred cause
despotism,', , i
and becomes an apostle of
. , "DON QUIXOTE PE LA CANADA"
The valiaat Don Quixote, armed cap-a-pie, and
charging madly on the wind-mill, has found a
rival in the daring, though almost too ardent
authorities of Canada. The ; great Don, I at
all events, had Kome visible and tangible
object against which to set his lauce, but our
Canadian knight is1 battling madly with vacancy.
According to the latest account-, all of the mili
tary, organizations of the provinces are in iull
blast, and they are preparing with uhdying
patriotism to repel the foul invader. In a report
of a review in Montreal, we find a gallant effort
at soldier-like oratorv: "Let , us so act as to
make our relatives aud our country proud ol us,"
were the heroic words which we are assured
were received with wild applause, and the regi
ment defiled right to the tuue ol "God save the
Queen." They marched forth with valor stumped
upon their crests to battle with an unknown foe.
Now thequostion arjses, Wherefore this mighty
arraying of the militia ? Why the projecting of
a fleet which will rival the invincible Armada?
We have searched the map to see it any Indians
are hostile whether some Black, Hawk or
Tbcumskh has arisen in the North, and Is com
ing from the wilderness to desolate the land. But
none appear. A lar more (treaded enemy is
predicted. The Fenians are once more coming.
is the fearful prophecy, and all Canada Is con
vulsed at the thought. The occasion of this
relapse into a state of terror, out of which our
Government, by its vigorous action, drew tnem
a few months since, is found in a pic
nic held by tne - t enians . at aunaio.
By some special provision of the resolutions
adopted by a previous assemblage, the Presi
dent of the Irish republic was directed to assem
ble the Brotherhood on a certain day, at a cer-
tuin place. In fulfilling the requirements of
the provision, he does not hesitate to say that
he regrets the necessity which ordered him to
perform an unnecessary duty. A few hundred
of the Fenians will meet, will talk, will un
doubtedly prepare one of the inevitable ad
dresses in which . freedom and exclamation
marks abound, ami will then once more adjourn. 1
Out of nothing will their leaders arise, and into
nothing will they again resolve themselves. It
is only the abject cowardice for which the
Canadians have ever been noted, which leads
fheni to anticipate invasion from a set j of
men against whom the power of the two great
Governments of the world la directed. Why,
the very men whom they fear are at the present
time under ' heavy bonds to appear before a
United States Court, there tq be tried for their
offenses against the law ot the land. And yet
out of this picnic has been conjured the fright
ful bugaboo which has bad' such an alarming
effect on the"peace of the provinces. We think
it is rather a guilty conscience- that causes this
alarm. Remembering the fulsity of their con
duct during the war, they fear it just retalia
tion. They know that the Rebel invasions from
Canadian soil were not restrained, and think the
Fenian invasion from American soil will be un
interrupted. ' The ghost of their own misdeeds
haunts them, and their curses, like chlckeus,
are coming home to roost. ' ' ' '
' Revolution Urged. The Wood and Vallan
bioham faction, though kicked out (lor policy's
sake) from the Wigwam Convention,, still seem
bound to make trouble if thev ran.- Thev now
desire the President to resort ; to a coup d's'af
aBd make mmseii aictutor. Thus, the New York
J)lily yews says: " M
"No time now for timidity or hesitation. lie
knows wpat a uout is marshalling for his sup
norr. The representatives of th nnnnln. tti
national council, nave proclaimed tbe popular
wilj.' ' The voice of the multitudobas been heard
in 'condemnation of the faction that is now
invested with legislative Buprcfnac? through its
usurpation of powers unsanctioned by our form
of oovemmont. ' Let the President strilm the
opposition when and where be can. And first. let
xii iii oust fvi.i yiuiuii uuivv-uuiucr viiiifc nepenus
upon the Federal patronage. Not a man of them
should be retained in any omce over which the
Executive authority ha control. That done, let
him Uke measures to orotect the Southern mem
bers of Congress In their neat at the next session,
lie has declared that thevhave a right to be there,
and he should protect them in that riant. The
emergency calls for prompt, vigorovt,Kna deeijWe
action, and every blow dealt bv the Executive
hand will be an inspiration to the conservative
cause." . , . , j
OUR LITERARY MRS. GUMMIDOE. j
Every week there cornea to us a decoction of
groans, done up and compressed into a sixteen
paged magazine. Nor ato thj groaning of the
Biblical class, which, we are assured, cannot be
uttered, on the contrary', there appears to be
no difficulty in making them audible; the only
cause of regret i the monotony with whloh they
are expressed. This compilation of horrors,
this Timon in our literary world, this cynic,
this Mrs. Guramldsre, is popularly known' as
the New York Bound Table. There Is nothing
under the sun at which this fnvorer of reform
does not growl. It matter not whether It is a
book, a poem, or the ladies' hair, or female
authors, the crops, the paint for the cheeks, the
progress of the age everything is sorrowed
over. It goes through, the world like the
"Shepherd" of the "Pickwick Papers," and we
should not be surprised If some of those tra
duced should turn upon the mahgner, and
graphically describe the rencontre in the ele
gant words of the older Weller "He called me
awee9cl, Sammy, a wessel of wrath, and I gave
him one." .
For six months the Round Table bas had an
article, which we would advise it to keep stanl-
Ing and save composition, on the sjbjcct of our
native authors, it assumes, as we have none
worth naming, that they are all Imitators of
Knp.lund, und devoid of originality and talent.
Well, that all may be true, but to have the fact
that you are a parante or an imbecile continually
repeated to you is disagreeable. Now there is a
cure, why don't our contemporary go to work
and remedy if, and give us less frequently
editorial in which there Is neither original style
or force? We know the fault as well as the
Bound Table, but let this Solon give us the re
medy. We grant its premises; let us have the
conclusion deduced. Self-adulation will not
raise tbe standard of letters, and to seek to make
its name good, and to have a set of knights to
it at the Bound TabU' and admire each other.
will not cause an Irving or TisfcNYSoN or Macau-
ley to arise from among the people. ,i ;
Having harped on this string for several
mouths, the conductors of the Unioersal
Growler think that another cause, of complaint
miiht be secured, and an utterly indelicate
article ou paint and rouge used by the ladies is
the result. Now iu order to write an article.
the contributor has exaggerated what Is really
en exceedingly limited custom into a general
habit. ' As a ruleour American ladies do not
paint; our young girl do not make use ot rouge
ot paste. Katuiehas blessed them with com
plexions which no art can improve, and they
are content. F.ut the Round Table says, that
they are not that as a seneral ruJe thoy resort
to cosmetic, aud rival Cyprians in their attire.
This' is simple aud unadulterated slander, and
one which as Americans we resent. It Is not
the truth, add to invoke au evil in order that
the remedy may bo applied, is a device too old
to pass current now. ' ' ," ! 1 1 ' , j "
But we actually believe that we are losing
our temper in replying to our complaining con
temporary. We must call ' In toleration, and
aav,- whenever a strikingly alarming fit of the
groans comep, in the language ot our worthy
friend, tbe "Capteu" of "David CopperHeld,"
"Pocr woman, poor woman, she thinking of the
old 'un, she got the fit bad." Nothing but synv
pathy should be shown the Orow'er, and if all
would join, we might hope in time to recall from
his misanthropy the cynic, whose aspersions
on the literature and manners of the age will
tend to injure us in the yes of posterity. .
Significance of the Kentucky Election. Our
Democratic contemporaries are full of rejoicing
over the late election in Kentucky, in which
the Rebel ticket was elected by some forty or
fifty thousand majority. . Duvall, who was
elected, was the ultra, fire-eating, secession can
didate. Hobsok was a Union officer, and a con
servative, running on the Presidential platform.
It was not, therefore, a contest between "radi
calism" and conversation, but between conser
vatism of the Wigwam pattern, and the real
permanent Rebel element of the South. The.
result is instructive. It chows just what we
may expect all over the South, if this policy of
putting power into the hands of tiaitors igoes
on. See "now thin victory is regarded by Pren
tice, of the Louisville Journal, who has never
been accused of being, a radical : : j
"Tbe first battle of Bull Run, apparently a
victory lor the secession leaders, was realjy
their first great defeat after they determined to
try the wager of battle. It sealed the fate Of
slavery, for it made the Union victorious. The
shouts for Jeff. Davis, Lee, etc.; which hye
been heard at many a gathering in Kentucky
during tbe late canvass, , which were heard at
the court house In Louisville on Friday nicht
last, and anain, boisterously, for Lee and
Jounbon at Fest Hall, on Saturday ntgbt, and
on the streets of Louisville, after the Duvall
triumph on Monday, following the riot in Mem
phis and the late riot in New Orleans, will, in
all human probability, lead to a train of events
that will establish neerro suffrage throughout
the whole Southern States, within two years
aud a half or three years at the farthest.
"The secession victory here if it turns out
to be a victory was achieved in a spirit of bra
vado, of defiance, of insolence and threats, of
abuse and slander and misrepresentation rarely
witnessed in the history of any canvass in this
country. In multitudes of instances, Union
speakers were interrupted and insulted that
was the design by ruffians' who shouted for
Davis and Lee, for Ddvall and the "lost
cause." On tbe morning of the election, the
secession paper here openly threatened the
merchants of Louisville with the publication f
their, names it they should dare to vote in. a
free city, and under a republican government,
for General HobsonI It did this Tor the pur
pose of blastiug their pecuniary interests, by
making their Southern customers believe them
lo Le in lavorof the Stevens party at the North,
and opposed to tbe President, when every inttfl
lieent man knows that General Hobson was the
conservative Union candidate, standing unmis
takably and undiseuisedly upon the platform of
the President of the United States I It was the .
old secession spii it Of bravado, of menace, of
violence." ' ....-..-. r
