Az IScIpENT.-Thc effect of TippccaIoe songs was
recently shown at L.ansinburgh III a striking manner.
The Wings of that beautiful village had obtained a
room for the purpose of practising their songs, direct
" opposite the shop of a shoemaker who was a strong
Van Buren, man. A few nights since they met for
the first time and began to sing. The shoemaker
was highly cxaspcrated as in duty bound, and LETT
his shop for the purpose Of insulting them. Having
reached the other side of the street, however, the mu-
sic all at once seemed TO be rather agreeable to him..
He stopped under the windows for some time and
listened. He next, even assembled the stairs and en-
tered the room, and appeared to be listening to the
patriotic songs, which the Wings were peiuslng, with
great interest. At last he became deeply affected
tears rolled Town his cheeks; and, finally, with a
voice choked with emotion, he excl.imcd-"By
Heavens! l can stand it n%olonger. Down with Van
B~uren-IImra for old Tippecanoe! 1t is needless
for us to add, that this honest shoemaker is now one
of the warmcst Wings in his village. Well did Fletch'
err of Saltoun say, GIVE me the writing of the bal!
lads of a nation, and any one may make their laws.

OUR CABIN.

Winslow need give himself no uncasinc,s
about the log cabin. While we were PEN
ming this paragraph, the unterrilied democra-
cy Of the land are pouring into o WI with tho
materials, and before we issue another sheet,
this humble emblem of the peoples cause
will grace the market place, and its walls DO
vocal with eloquence and song. When the
government denounces the jewellers in log
houses and humble cottages, it is time for the
people TO rally around them. They will do
it. The reputation of log cabin dwellers
will be indicated, and this administration will
curse the day that it over gave vent to so
gross an ebullition of spleen against the pco-
pies candidate-agalnst the people them
selves.
John Smith stated in Congress, a few days
since, that he should not be reelected, but
that his place would supplied by a Wing. a
very sensible remark,

All general rules have their exceptions. Up
to this time however, all the changes, since
IIarrison's nomination, have been in our favor,
and we have felt no little uneasiness, lest there
was something wrong, as we did not believe
the order OF nature was to be reversed on this
occasion. But we are relieved. The excep-
ton is found. The administration has been
able to hire two or three individuals, through
out the length and breadth of this land, to Join
the sinking cause of locofocoism. Among
these, is a Mr. Wicklitte of Kentucky, of whom
the Louisville Journal gives the following ac-
count. Wicklitfe, it is said is to have an ap-
pointment at Washington.
\ pEsERrER TO THE EHEMY.-In the exchange pa
pers, that we received on Saturday morning, we found
the names Of % seceders from tie loco foco ranks, and
by way of small sprlnkllng of variety, one secedcr
from the Wing ranks.-Tho seceder from the Wings
is none other than Robert ". UichiiGe mot the young
Mr.. Wlckhtie whom we noticed on friday pretty
well known, wherever known at all, by the graphi-
cally descriptive soubriquet of Greasy Rob"
MIR. Wickltie gives IN the Lexington Gazette, a CO.
lumn of what nc calls his reasons for going over to the
loco foco party. We can state his true reasons within
a much narrower space. The chief of them is, NOR
titled vanity.-Whiist he belonged to the Wing party
he was perpetually traying TO get 10 Congress. Last
SUMNER, in opposition to the wishes of all the Wings,
he thrust himself forward and ran for Congress in OPP
position to the party candidate, the Hon. Richard
Halves. He was beaten, distanced, dlsgraced he
received no Wing support at all, though the loco focos
generally went for him. This result turned him sour
against the Wings, but he did not at once avow his
abandonment of them, for he INDUCED a hope of being
able TO coax them into his support at some subsequent
time, a few months afterwards a rumor was preva-
lent in the district that Mr.. Halves was about TO re-
sign, and the Wings began TO cast about for a success
sor. Then, indeed, poor Wicklitfes expectations
blazed anew, but the public sentiment of the party pas
sed by HIM as if there had been no such person in
existence. This was enough-the cup of his vinegar
and gall was full and he but waited for an oppor-
opportunity, he thinks, has arrived, and he has avail
ed himself oft, The Wings have had the good luck
to lose a troublesome and mortified oflice-seeker, and
the loco focos 10 find one. We are very glad 10 SEQ
such politicians drop Oft from our ranks at this parti-
cular time. If there are any more, let them make oil
haste TO 90. They are not fit to share in the honors
Of the great and glorious victory which the soldiers o
the Constitution are about 10 achieve over the army Of
the Spoilers.

LOUISVILLE, May 10th, 1870.
Gentlemen II went on Saturday to the log cabin
raising as true n Van Burcnite as ever fobbed a Gus
tom house check, to see what fools Intelligent Wings
were going to make of themselves to humbug igno-
rance
But when, from Mr. Field speech, ] came to I'M
derstand that the log cabin and hard cider cry was
not got up by the Wings, but had originated from
scolls and iecrs in democratic newspapers, cracked
off in derision Of an old and estimable defender of
his country, for being too poor to live IN a palace and
drink wine, | felt a little stumpcd.
a.. Thinks ! to myself. does honest poverty merit con-
tempt? If he who handled millions of public
money, had been less honest, might he not have been
more rich than some of his scotlcIs? But again
thinks !, ] am poorer than the General wonder if
| am an object of contempt to my rich brother demo-
Gratis! And sirs, ! set too and saddled down a log
But now, thinks | again, l came here to hunt fools,
and may be I'm making one of myself and I'll omit
and 90 home.
When / got home, | took a look at the likeness of
Van Buren,, it didn'l seem to look as well as it used
TO-. l took it down, washed its face, wiped its nose,
and hung it up again, but all wouldn't do-he still
| smirked through his whiskcrs at me, just as a shallow
fop always does at a shoemaker SO | turned him
| face about and told him to eat. And now, sirs, | am
going with the log cabin dwelling cider drinkers, to
battle against those pa~lacc-dwelling champaign-drink
ing democrats, with full confidence that, under the
humble banner of the log cabin, the nation is to be
rescued from the dominion Of the spoilers.

WHERE WILL THE MARTINS Coz

The incorriqiblc wag of the Picayune, with other
choice spirits, ate dinner lately on board of the steam
er General Prattc. After giving an account of the
dinner, Pic concludes thus:-
Some very good things were said by the gentlemen
around the table; amongst which was the following
from d very intimate friend of ours, whose modesty
we fear to offend, or we should give his name. The
remark was made by one party, that birds of a
feather flock together"

LOCO FOCO MEETING AT WILLISTON.

The loco focos held a County Convention at
Williston on Wednesday. BURGESS of Milton.
and FLAGG of Richmond, were put in nomina-
ton for the Senate-Mr Haswell declining a re-
nomination. Van Ness was present, and spoke
his piece again. The main drift of his argu-
ment was, TO prove that, when rip Van Wrinkle
woke from his hundred years nap, every thing
remained just as it was when he went to sleep.
Those who oppose Mr. Van Buren,, he insists,
are federalists, and those who support him, dem
ocratic saints, of course. When he had con-
cluded, Martin C~hiuenden. the old federal
Governor, who didn't 90 to Pittsburgh, rose and
moved a vote of thanks to Mr.. Van Ness, for
his able and eloquent exposition of democracy,
"as we understand it." which motion was Sec
onded 1--WE rresume,) by N. B. Haswell, anoth-
er distinguished war federalist who was pres-
ent, and passed unanimously. Thus has Gov.
Ness realized what he predicted thirteen years
ago., viz: "that he should be seconded in his
efforts by the most distinguished, disinterested
TEDERALISTS in the Union.' Surely Mr..
Van Ness democracy must now be beyond the
reach of contingency, backed up, as it is, BY =
certificate from Martin Chittendcn.
