Mr. Caleb Cushing.

This gentleman has returned from Charleston in a very bad odor. The Boston Herald, a democratic organ, asks, “who had the baseness to vote for C. Cushing as a nominee for the Presidency?” who, it proceeds further in no mild style, to characterize as “a puling suckling of democracy,” and “a man appraised from the slough of political chicanery.” This is a painful domestic broil.
