Totsd, To present John Holmes the freedom
of the town, in leather snuff box, with suitable
devices stamped thereon, and the same to be
handed him by two black slaves.
.4rt. 2. Voted to choose a committee to see
whether certain horse, used on former occa-
sion, at the head of Exchange Street, can be
procured, and if so, as John is fond ofridtng, be
can take as long journey on it as Don Quxstte
| did on the famous wooden horse Clavigero.
! .4rt 8. Toted to send for Johns Arithmetic,
and have the same printed, and to give John
5-9ths Of all that are or may be printed, for the
= copy rght.n
Art. j. 5. On these articles there was some
considerable discussion-and finally majority
prsUaated-and at last agreed, that as " nose of
wax, this extreme warm weather, and particu-
larry if placed on Holmes proboscis, might get
twisted out of place
Voted, That the state tinker be employed to
make Slawkenbergian BraserL nose for john
and that MULY HAsEM, the bla OK slave put il
on the first time John shows his dough face in
this town.
AcHMET was chosen a committee, agreeably
TO article 6th to ma Ike the hest bargain ne could
ana taxing INTO consideration that Johns tai
ents are not so highly appreciated in Congress,
as ne had the vanity to think they would be, and
as there appears to be no vacancy for foreign
mission, except TO Hayti, he is instructed to beat
him down as low as possible.
The celebrated song, erst composed by the
senator, 'ycleped : Kennebunk Caucus" wa,
then sung, with unbo nded applause.
