Livingston will come home, as soon as he learns of the exist ence of: tliiM‘/politicianand make arrangtnents to have him bodily abducted, lie is a con¬ stant menace to the re-election of the gentleman, and it is very necessary that, in looking after his fences, he should see that the tail of this politician? should in left securely fastened in one of the cracks • We understand, privately, that Mr. Hill is very desirous of taking a ’’peep” at ’’that” from which he recieved the re¬ quest. Ho has intimated as much to one of Mr. Livingston s friend’s, and asked, all in the same borath , what they were fed on in ” Jaw-jay” Congressman Livingston is in danger, and as a well pleased constituent we believe it is our duty to thus publicly proclaim the existence of this politician that his friends may take such action in his behalf as they deem expedient in the unusual emer¬ gency. Mr. Livingston has been faith¬ fully performing his duties in Washington during the long hot months just past and has had no time to devote to his politi¬ cal interest at home, but this fact is not likely to detract from hisstrengh. It may be that in making out his seed listy Mr Livingston unintentionally sligh¬ ted Mr. Hill’s correspondent.
