FROM the East. came Rutland with Wal

bury. This long procession also contained
many from the adjoining towns, with mot,os
Indicating the spirit which warmed aud quick
ened every heart We have not been able to
collect all the moiios, but we give what we
have, and some OF which II will be seen arc
significant and emphatic. Among them we
saw pair of short legs vainly striving TO
step in the tracks of pair OF long legs, which
were siriding along before over which was
the well known precept FOLLOWING in the foot
steps !" beneath, "shori legs can't follow long
tracks" On the reverse ofthis banner, "Alat-
~ and his lIumbugs, expunged March 4, Al"
We saw a neat flag ornameniod with the fig
ure of genuine lcg cabin, and bearing the
designations Mechanics Union, and beneath
borne BY the Mechanics of the village, Young,
active and intelligent; who understand their
rights, and who are willing TO give their strength
TO the support Of the principles of equal libcr-
ty, and who will oppose to the last the usurp-
atoms Of reckless ambition. We noticed also
the following very appropriate mot,os, Cuba
currency aud Cuba blood-hounds, the Vermont
boys don't FOLLOW on either rail- on the re-
verse, "The sturdy sons Of Vermont are
awake and will show the Magician that his
Experiments are no 60" Another, FLOURISH
Commcrce-F'lourish Credit: Perish Humbug
and Treasury Rag Currency" OH the reverse,
Zip and Tyler, the one term candidates; the
people propose to try one experiment them
selves" Another banner bore the figure of a
plane, the motto, "The Wing Plane that ma
keith all things smooth, rough hew them how
YOU Will" On the reverse, "a small branch
of Old Tips committee" BY the kindness of
friend we have been furnished with the fol-
lowing description Of another banner
among the flags and Banners borne by the
Rutland Delegation, delegation, by the by,
probably comprising a majority of the legal
voters OF the town, was one representing Gen.
Harrison on horseback riding over Mr. Van
Buren, and his Cabinet, pretty much in the
manner he and they for the last four years
have rode over the interests of the country and
the wishes of the people. the restrictions of
the laws and the requirements of the Consti-
tution-Rough Shod The General bore for
his motto banner with the words, "Flourish
credit, Flourish Commerce" His charge
upon them seemed to have left the Govern
lnent, that say the people expect too much
from me Government, very much in the stu
alton that Government have left the people,
PROSTATE, and some of them feet up and heads
down. Mr. Forsyth had escaped little, and
as well as could be judged from his looks
seemed to say, 81 don't wish to be mixed up
III ms business" Col. Johnson was kindly
pulling Benton This quizzing glass broke) from
under Harrison's horse, and seemed to be say
ing to him, sold Tip ant so much of a cow
ard as you thought he was" while he cooked
one eye with waggish EXPIRE ssion towards
Old Kentucky as much as to say; "sat nor
saltpetre won't save him now" The motto
ferlsh Credit, Perish Commerce, lay trodden
down by the side of Van Buren,, whose face
seemed to say ''Just as expected, more of a
tornado than farce. As | ama Dutchman,
the people will elect him by acclamation.'-
Mr. Calhoun seemed to have been taking a
abstract view Of the matter, and
like thdgmcn carried off in the steamboat de-
careassiat he had no right to be thero."--
HIS constitutional scruples have evidently re-
Vlved, and on the ground that practice makes
perfect, and that his last flop want the thing,
he was throwing another summerset back
wards from Van Buren,, with a small body |
guard Qike "O'Connc!'s Tail') of Southern
chvalry performing, as a matter of coure, the |
same evolution; while Africa in the back
ground, with the white of her eye rolled up
was playing, as the bills have it, the popular |
and much admired air Of slump Jim Grow"
with grin that seemed to say, Cor mighty |
where won't massa Calhoun whip the snake |
next This flag was executed by Young |
gentleman ofPoultncy, Mr. Neal, in our hum
Die Judgment OF much promise in his profess
sion"
And last, but not least, came the large cav
ilcade from Poultney, Pawlet Middletown,
md Wells, with the band playing "The Camp
'ells are coming" This was about one o.
lock. and the Convention had partly com
oleted its organization, and there being
strong tendency of the multitude towards the
loors, the President began to call "to ORDER"
'ut the cry is heard "Ponltney is coming"
ND the house was soon cleared the President
It the same time announcing a short recess.
Preceding this large procession, embracing
thousand Wings, was log cabin in the
lyle ofearly DAYS, as if right from the 'back-
'oods,' well covered with bark, the old fash
oned covering Of the primitive dwelling, with
he wolf skin, the skin OF the fawn, and a
'oon skim and the inside was well supplied
With substantial fare, pork, beans and bread ;
nd waving aloft the flag bearing the names
Harrison and Tyler"
The Convention having organized, adjourn
