Clay and the wings will come out far ahead OF MT.
Van Buren, and the locofocos.
Last night we had a hop at the United States. Mr..
Van Buren, attended-but Mr.. Clay was advertised
for concert at the Pavilion, and was therefore not
visible.
The caricature, representing the scene between
Mrs. Clinton and Mr.. Van Buren,, has been shown
around the rooms to our great amusement. But Mr.
Van Buren, is not the only one who has been cut by

asked how he should dispose Of case then before
him, he said, 'Ill whip 'fendent-Pll whip plaintiff,
and I'll whip witnesses-they will then trouble me
