Charles Congdon, Tribune Essays: Leading Articles Contributing to the New York Tribune from 1857 to 1863. (ed. Horace Greeley), Josiah's Jaunt. (search)
resolved himself to be, pro hac vice, the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, and accordingly wrote a polite billet to the Hon. John Letcher, Governor of Virginia, inviting the principal inhabitants of that State, the Representatives, the Hangmen and oths yet distended by the much-desired-but-not-as-yet-built European-and-Old-Dominion steamers — Josiah, in his note to Governor Letcher, considerately promised to send free tickets for all, or nearly all the journey from Richmond to Boston, leaving themmons, so festively different from the subpoenas which Virginia is wont to send to Massachusetts, was received by the Hon. John Letcher, he seems to have been either frightened or delighted; for he instantly sent a special message to the LegislatureIn this way more than one bird will be slain by Josiah's missile. The Union will be cemented; agitation will cease; Governor Letcher will fold to his manly bosom Governor Banks; the brass-bands will blow; the flags will flutter; the gifted talkers o

nd him with his mouth full of tobacco, his heels upon the table, and his general appearance, rather than else, the reverse of dignified. Still, that was in the Provinces, so to speak, and not in refined Richmond. But what did they do with poor Letcher, the unpresentable, during the visit of the Marquis? Did they keep him hushed up in a garret, under lock and key, with the restraining solace of pipe and bottle? We ask the question, because a great many Secession papers have been troubled about Letcher, and have printed leading articles to prove his vulgarity. We trust that they did n't let him go loose during the sojourn of these great English visitors. Well, we don't envy the elegance of our Southern friends; we rather admire it. It comes of having such a perfect model of propriety at the helm of their affairs as Jefferson Davis is. It is not customary, we believe, for the head of one belligerent power to call the presiding genius of another belligerent power a baboon, as thi

lean Editors? Fiat justitia, ruat coelum, roars this excited Examiner, which being interpreted, signifies — Give me my bit of bread and butter, though the bits of blood belonging to the officers get never an individual oat. Well, poor man! we think that he is right. By what legal authority is the wearer of many buttons permitted to set up as a Dives, while this poor Editor plays the unsatisfactory part of Lazarus, with no chance whatever of finding solace in Abraham's bosom? Why should Letcher be allowed, in respect to strong waters, to create a kind of Sahara wherever he goes, while an intellectual creature, like The Examiner, is unable to find a drop, examine he the closets never so closely? There are those who by the folly of the Rebel faction have been utterly ruined; there are others who, of an ample fortune, have little enough left to keep the souls and bodies of their household together. These the hungry oligarchs propose to subject to a third or, for ought we know, to
