But hear the same party on the running-down tack! when either his own importance is not involved, or dire offence makes it worth his while' to cut off his nose to spite his face. No one would recognize the portrait then drawn as one of the same individual. Mr. Leather, as we said before, was in the laudatory strain, but, like many indiscreet people, he overdid it.
