Slang iu America. In tjip November number of the North American Jleview is a short article from Walt Whitman on “Slang in America.” The “good gray poet” deals mercifully, nay generously, with sla'ug, uptf traces some of tlio most sinewy y/qrds iu opr language to slangous sQijrces. "NVe give a few ex tracts : “Slang, profoundly considered,is tlie lawless germinal element, below ail words and sentences, and behind all poetry, and proves a certain freedom and perennial rankpess and protes- tantism in speech. As tho United States inherit by far their most prec ious possession—the language they talk ipid write—from the Old World, under and out «f its feudal institutes, I \yill allow ptyself to borrow ti simile ever} of those forms furthest removed froinvVinerioan Democracy.

At last tiie only remaining link that perved to rbmind the citizens of this poniiiiunity of tlie days of Radical Republican misrule and usurpation, |ias been sevefpd Ly the shejvjug of B. P. Cliatlield, tlie Radical Republican postmaster of Ai^en, uml the i^ppoint- pient of that tsfifljqg gentleman apd faithful earnest Ljeiqoeiat, Maj. James E. Croslapd, in hjs place. ’lossy that this appointment is in- femady gratjfyhjg not only to the citi zens of this ffliyn, liqt also to fho citizens of th^ entiie pounty, is xijpfply fo give expres sion to a fact that the loyal Democracy pf this County would without hesita tion most enthusiastically endorse. Maj. James E. Cfosland is iu the sixtieth year of hi* age, and a vigor ous, active man, physically and Intel ty to escape from bald literalism, and express itself inimitably, which in highest" walks produces poets and poems, and, doubtless iu pre-historie times gave the start to and perfected, the whole immense tangle of the old mythologies. For, curious as it may appear, R is atrictly the same impulse source, the same tiling. Slang, too, is tiie wholesome fermeutatiou or eructation of those processes eternal ly active hi language, by which froth and specks are thrown up mostly to pass away; though occasiopally to settle and permanently crystalize.” Tlie annexed list of slang names for States, or their citizens rather, will not be new to flic surviving veterans of the war; “Always among the soldiers during the Secession War, one heard of Little Mac’ (Gen. McClellan), or of ‘Uncle Billy’ (fjen. Sherman.) ‘The old man’ was, of coprse, very common. Vtnopg the rank and fife of both armies, it was very general to speak of thy different States they camp from by their slang names. Those from Maine were called Foxes; N ew Hamp shire, Granite Boys; Massachusetts, lay Staters; Vermont, Green Moun tain Roys; Rhode Islapd, Gun Flints; Connpoticut, Wooden Nutmegs; New York, Knickerbockers; New Jersey, Clam Catchers; Pennsylvania, Logher leads; Delaware, Muskrats, Mary am!, f’hiw Thumpers; Virginia, Bea gles; North Carolina, Tar Boilers; South Carolina, Weasels; Georgia, luzzards; ILouisiana, Cre< os; Ala., iizznrds; Kentucky, Corn Crackers; Ohio, Buckeyes; Michigan Wolver- nes; Indiana, Hoosiers; Illinois, Suckers; Missouri Pukes; Mississippi Tad Poles; Florida, FIv up the Creeks; Wisconsin, Badgers; Iowa, Hawk- eyes; Oregon, Hard Cases. Indeed I am not sure but slang names have more than once made Presidents. ‘Old Hickory’ (Gen. Jackson) is one case in point. ‘Tippecanoe, and Ty ler, too, 1 another.” THB .BEST TONIC.
