: 0(5-We are glad to learn that the First
: Monday in January, the day we suggested in
our last paper, for the Wings of Holmes coun-
tv, to assemble in Lexington, meets the ap-
probation OF those OF our party with whom we
have conversed That the Wings of the
county may be rcminded of the time proposed
for holding the meeting, we insert notice
under our editorial head, and viii continue it
there until the day of meeting.
The excoriating we administered to the ed
itor of the Union in our last paper has thrown
that PINK Of deccncy entirely off his eouillb
rum. In the brainless effuscns, contained in
his editorials of the 18th inst, we mark strong
indications Of mental alteration, aud would
suggest, to his friends, the propriety of pro-
curing for him straight jackei, as soon as
possible. We are no! the only ones who have
doubted his sanity; several of oar most res
Pectable citizens concur with US in that be-
llet. The contortons into WHICH he threw his !
last articles, in relation to ourself is. indeed |
proof, as ''strong holy writ" of evident
halluclnatlon of mind, and induces US to be-
Iieve that we have touched the whining cur
IN tender spot. In his attempt to smooth
over the Hbelous language he uttered in for
mer number OF his paper, in relation to the
Wings, he has failed, and rendered himself
more contemplate, if possible, than ever.

all who have frequented the log

than its plain English expressed =
We will insert it again, and appeal to com
