CHRISTOPHER CAUSTIC

We have seen a string of doggerel rhymes, from the pen of the Author of 'Terrible Traitorations,'--illustrated by extracts from the Federal papers for two years past, in the form of Notes. --This catch-penny jumble is called 'Democracy Unveiled.' We recommend it to the attention of our readers, for two reasons. One is, that we know the writer is an object of charity, and really needs the proceeds of the work ;-and the other, that the hireling has fully shown the malignity, and exposed the principles, of his masters. The name of this scribbler is Thomas G. Fessenden. His history is said to be briefly thus--

Some years since, finding no other avenue either to fame or subsistence open, he exerted his energies in the construction of a wonderful hydraulic machine. with which he posted from his native state. Vermont to London.--When he arrived there he found his darling and novel invention, as common as a pump. Disconcerted in this scheme for aggrandizement, he contrived to get employment as superintendent in the building of some mills. Great skill and ingenuity was, no doubt, employed in their formation ; and the only objection--alack-a-day--was--they would not go. After this. as if destined to be the supporter of 'all things, vain and unprofitable' Mr. F. was engaged to write a poetical vindication of Perkins' Metallic Tractors. In this undertaking he was fortunate. Notwithstanding the wretched quackery he defended, his poem became popular. Puffed with success, he returned to his native country ; and, for sometime past, has been Head-Scavenger to the Palladium. This employment, probably, not being sufficiently lucrative, he has hit on this publication as the means of eking out a subsistence. He is not to be blamed.--The poor fellow must eat and we could not have designated a more worthy advocate of Federal principles ; than the projector of immoveable mills, and the vindicator of Perkins' Tractors.
