was struck with the vast difference between the
tpirit which animated them then and on oil former
occasions on which | had been m eye witness of
their proceedings. remembered the great Demo
cratic meeting which had assembled in that same
Court House in March last: when in the funess
and pride Of their power they proclaimed that the
Wings must ledre the house, l remembered how
email the number was which even then stood I'd
the unterrifed and avowed supporters of Cen Har-
rison. remembered the great democratic caucus
there assembled some weeks after for the purpose
Of nominating county officers, when the cry of De-
Inocracy and Redman-the great high priest and
bulwark of the faith--was sent up by thousand
voices at once, remembered upon that occasion
the Reverend Hampton Boon, praying to the De-
mocracy in the name of the most high God, that
Wing might not be permitted to enter the ranks,
or in any way suffered to participate in the procee-
dings Of that meeting. remembered, too how
the few poor crest fallen Wings present on that
casion, we're jeered at and marked and derded and
crowed over by the self-styled Democracy of How

fallen.
listened attentivey to the addresses of Messrs.
Jackson and Lowry, (the Damosthcnes and Cicero
Of the party in the absence of the Lion--Redman)
and after hearing the whole Wing party denounced
as scoundrels and rascas, left the house more in
pity than in anger. The President and Cashier
were particularly severe on all banking institutions
and said thai they were all conducted on rascally
principles and served no other end than to defraud
the honest and poor ont of their hard earned labor,
not being very familiar with banks and banking in
stitutions, am not prepared to say whether or not
they told the truth, but I am very certain they
ought to know. I should be glad to know, also
how it happens that the Bank of Missouri, in which
they hold Offices is exempt from the charge which
they have Unfortunately made on all banks, or
whether it is exempt other than the fact that Doct
Lowry and Mr. jackson are officers in it,
A great deal was said about British gold and it
was affirmed that the excess of votes, by which
Mr.. Van Buren, was beaten, had been bought up by
British capitalists in London! This of course we
dcigned to give us the train of reasoning by which
they arrived at their conclusions. I think, hover
er, had they done So il would have been somewhat
after this fashion Speaker Price has introduced
preamble and resolutions into the Legislature

Among the good-humored pleasantries INDUCED
in By Mr. Jackson there was one which, if he be a
true expounder Of the code practiscd upon in the
Courts above consgns to the hands Of oil Mex
several very worthy citizens residing in Fayeto
and vicinity. When the news Of the election OF
General Harrison was received, Nessrs. Kring,
Sulfarrans, Prewit, Hughes and others, members Of
the Church, we're appointed committee to draft
resolutions, among other things a public dinner
and ball was rccommeded--and this innocent en-
oyment was so little suited to the taste and ncli.

cite, that he insisted on Juggling it into public
speech. From this circumstance he prophesicd
that the reign Of Old Tip would be one of immor.
rality and lebauchery, and that fadiing and dane
ing and carousing and drinking would, in all time
to come be the great business Of life.
The ardnous duties of the. meeting at last
closed. and the Chairman Judge MORRIS, an.
nounced the friends present, that there would be
Democratic meeting in Glasgow, on the S;h o.
January, and B a l. L at night. when the breh.
rem were respectfully invited to attend. Now
Judge Morris is, himself member Of the C!Urch
Whether or not he has attained the eminence o.
Class-eadPr or Elder, do not know--but he is a
member Of good standing, and if Mr. Jackson in
sists on damning our friends at Fayette, for the
part they took in the ball there, we shall take the
liberty Of handing the Judge over TO Davy Jones

lions Of his establishment This we shall insist
upcn. So the Judge must either acknowledge
Er. Jackson's opinions upon these points to be
hitrodox, or take the consequences If the Fayette
gentry are under mortgage to the Devil, oui
opinion is, that he has clear lien upon the
Judge.
