Boston Rebel, The. John Lowell.

" Mr. Lowell's articles in Russell's ' Centinel,' over the signature of the * The Boston Rebel,' in 'Opposition to the war of the United States and Great Britain, were of a character the most in- flammatory of any political writings of the day. His productions were in a highly nervous style, abounding in piquant philippics. His remarks on Madison's war, in a large pamphlet, exhibited the most exciting attack on the Democratic Administration that emanated from any political writer. His fervid genius and rapid pen poured forth pamphlet after pamphlet, and column after column in the newspaper, replete with .spirit and force and purpose, on the side of the Federal party, in warm opposition to the general government.'*

"English reporters are not far behind their American brethren in coining political nick- names. The ' Pali Mall Gazette ' gives some .specimens : ' The late Mr. George Beutinck was always spoken of as " The Bo'sun," from his jifTection for the sea and all that floats thereon ; Lord Henry Lennox's posturings made hie sobri- ■quet, " Miss Lennox," particularly appropriate; Lord Beauchamp, when he sat in the Lower House as the Hon. F. Lygon, was "Miss Fanny "; Lord Elcho, now Earl of Wemyss, was invested with the title " Cool of the Evening," so smil- ingly complacent was he in his corner seat below the gangway ; " Batavian Grace '* fitted Mr. Beresford-Hope "like a glove"; the son of an eminent — a very eminent — statesman was known in the gallery as " The Cub."
