with thsse Federal stump orators, his
whole force was bent at slang whaHging
Jackson for Vetoiug the U. Q Bank, and
removing the dePo,IIes, and Van Bu-

Sub Treasury law -'standing army &c,
charging at the same time the whole

He proposed no measure for the re-
lief Of his "injursd bleeding country

seemed necessary unless il was TO elect
HIN member Of Congress; then the

,manry could not swallow it; here and
there to be sure was forced grin, but
upon the eountenances ofmuch the lar
gessportion, disappointment and indig~
nation, seemed brooding.
Next came on the stand, Master Ar
NOR from Millersbure, an interesting
youth, and we are inclined to the opin.
ionsthat some day wheo his beard has
grown, he will be enabled TO instruct an
audience; but on the present occasion
his attempting to Instruct council and
advise our old and enlightened citizens,
seemed not a little ludicrous. His re-
marks however were pqoie short and
mostly confined 10 the excellency Of the
speech of his predecessor.
Thus ended one OF The most splendid
humbugs ever attempted TO be played
off upon an intelligent community, and
so enraged had become some Of their
own party, that they hurled their buck.
eye canes from them, and openly avow-
ed their determination never to have
anything more 10 do with such a party.
Notice was given before leaving the
ground, that the discussion would be
renewed in the evening, in town,
Accordingly after ringing the bell four
times, aud collecting all that were mt

Iersburg;a .wbig lawyer. When our
readers are. informed his name, they will
be enabled 10 decide very correctly up
on the merits Of his speech, for il his
head is not strongly tinctused BY his
name, then we claim to be no prophet.
Suffice il 10 say of him, ,thatoa promi-

speeches would make him a locofoco.

Master Welker, another STRIPPING
from Millersburg, next came forward.
He would not travel over the same
ground the others had, but merely give
them short exhor,ation and wind up
by presenting the pleasing prospects Of
the party. Holmes, he had no doubt
