of the Connecticut wing triumph came
like tfunderbolt and caused it 70 turn
jup its eyes like duck in consumption
| 1t did not crow. But the loco foco paper
said wait till we can hear from Democra.

and the news thereof made this high comb
loco foco chicken quite sick. 1t couldn't
crow. But the loco foco paper said wall
till we hear from Old Virginia, she gives
more votes than both the others, then our
chicken can crow. But when the news
of the Wing triumphs in Virginia did
come. it was then that this high comb.
ed cock dropped its plumes, lay on
its back and died. 1t was then, too, tina,
the Van Buren, men found out that it was
'.Inexpedient' for them to hold Con.
vention on the "sth of June" They
gave for reason to be sure, that it was
very busy time with the farmers, and
they couldn't come. Why did they no,
find this out before Did they not know
last December that June was always q
busy time with the farmers? Every one
can see the .futility Of such an excuse.
The Wing farmers, as busy time as il
was, did not hesitate to leave their farms
and meet in Springfield by thousands,
assigning as a reason that their crops
would not be much worse to them if they
rotted, than they would be if the present
administration continued in power and
persisted in pursuing such course as
would lower the price of produce down to
almost nothing.
But we need not attempt full descrip.
ton of the procession. The official &C.
count will be published in the Sangamo
Journal and the Old Soldier, and if we
shall hereafter see any thing which we
~
think will be interesting to the people we
will copy it.
The scene as the procession passed
through town was truly exciting. Every
window and every door was crowded by
ladies who urged on the good cause by
their smiles and by the waving of their
scarfs and handkerchiels. On one bal
cony we perceived a party of ladies ant
gentlemen singing Fippecanoe songs, as
the procession passed.
After marching through several streets
the procession directed their steps to DR.
IIogan's Park, where were found four Of
five tables each about quarter of a mile
in length laden with meats Of all kinds
well barbacued, together with plenty o
bread and several barrels of "hard CIDER
The meats, consisting Of sheep, hind
quarters of beef, venison, &c. &c. were
principally contributed by the Farmers,
This fact among others tells the story
whether or not the farmers are interested
in carrying on the great political reforma
ton that pervades every department o.
society!

ton to deliver a speech; with some reluc-
lance he consented, and delivered one oil

then found, as the thousands could not all
hear, one speaker, and during the after
noon both multitudes were severally ad-
dressed by Messrs Brigham of Boston,

of Missouri, Webster Of La Sale, Haw-
