OF which, with an audaciousness unparal-
leled, exposed this week, as we all know,
. our electioneering plans! Aye Mr.. Pres
ident, and even let our hidden cat out of
the bag! (Cries of monster SHANE, shame. }
Mr.. President, say, yes sir say, if-if
that individual is not more circumspect in
his future conduct, he may find sir, that
our cat has pretty long tail! Aye, and
even nine tails too, Mr.. President! I'm
monse cheering.) Sir caution the edit
or of the Telegraph to beware-for john
even our own John Fair6eld) will surely
be reelected, and then sir, we will have
military government to hold in check these
blood-thits.y Wings:
. Mr.. President, we never had a cat hid
On bag! You sir, upon honor know we
never did. No sir! IT'S false, false say
sir! And hero take it upon myself to
challenge the malicious libeller 10 prove
the assertion. (Cheering.( Mr., Presi-
dent. will now close my remarks, for the
Wings are beneath my notice-and be-
sides sir, several gentlemen around me are
pulling my coat tail to sit down.
y, A third speaker took the floor, and

He said, that it was by the blessing Of
the Holy Catholic Trinity, he was permit

Or the fourth speaker well may we ex-
elsln,
VIA, monster il this who alarms the behoders,
With Folly and Infamy, perched on his shoulders;
Whom hallowcd Religion is laboring to save.
Ere Sin and Disease goad the wretch to his grave.
We will not pollute our columns with a
rep,rt of the remarks made by this great
apostle of loco fucoism--and therefore pass
him over.
Of -i primo minister, lord and faciotum,
We mex! will begin, and MS merits thus note 'em
: u is plain both his mind and his faculties mouder,
Nkcn the task Of each day proves the mana day
older;
And trembling he grasp,, to support his high sa,ion
1n spite Of - and its - R,gg ,!lation.
This orator, from his peculiar situation,
fcn himself called upon to defend Office
hodcrs particularly. He also commented

propensity now afforded him ample oppor-
tuniiy to "buy out his poke" and settle
government affair; while electionecring in
*arious parts Of the col!ntry. lie spoke
Of the State debt, increased BY the chival-
rio sous of Maine in defence of their rights
to the Northeastern territory. He said
that the debt was but drop in The bucket,
compared with the honor, glory and re-
nown which Governor Fairfield had obtain
ed in the controversy. He alluded TO war,
and the honorable stand which The loco To-
COS uniformly took in support Of their
country's rights. He declared that no one
instance could be proved Of backing out
disposition on the part Of the locos, but that
it was the Wings who always turned tail to
the enemy. His peror alton was one of I'm.
surprising pathos, and the speaker sat
down covered with sweat and applause.
OF the sixth speaker we will remark,
That be had his merits. tho crude and confined
The faint sickly rays of-a half ettered mind,
This gentleman dealt in fgura,ivc Ian
