AMusING INcIDENr.

The Same Old Coon.-An incident oc
Cured at the great Wing gathering at
Hamilton, on Saturday last, that created
vast deal Of amusement. As one Of the
delegations from neighboring township
was entering the town IN a long process
sion, bearing various banners, emblems
and devices, and singing Wing songs in
the spirit OF ls40, "a cluster Of Locofocos
Standing among the Wings were busy in
making remarks upon the approaching
multitude. See" said one Of he Locos,
"there comes Whiggcry with its banners,
clap tap and humbugs, and shouldn't
wonder If they had the same old Coon they
had here IN the Convention Of lSl0."
By this time the van Of the procession
began passing the group. A long string
Of horscmen, six or eight abreast, each
one bearing some appropriate banner
Next came a car on which number Of
blacksmilhs were at work, and bearing va.
rlous emblems Of their trade. Then came
anohercar bearing parcel Of shoemakers
at work, and also having appropriate ban
ners and devices. Next cane a large
car Of Log Cabin boys bearing various
emblems Of husbandry, aud particularly a
representation of humble life in the "Slash,
es Of Hanover" In the midst Of The ca,
was a saplln Of Kentucky oak, on which
was perchcd a noble looking Coon, having
a label Immediately over his head IN let
tiers, 1.-THE SAME OLD CO0Nw
Soon after this was discovered, one d
the Wings roarod out, : There comes h'
same old coon sure enough"
The Loco who had before propheciet
that i, would come, appeared to be >trucl
with utter dismay, aud with an agonl2et
counlcnancc, exclaimed, "the same oil,
coon, swear" aud 'arning to his Loc'
companions sid, come boys, let's q

We trust that every friend Of the glo-

this letter is full and satisfactory upon all
the great leading questions of national poll
cy. Mr.. Clay never hesitates to give his
opinions, or to express, with liberal and
unreserved frankness, the conclusions Of
his judgments upon public affairs. The

Dear SRI received your favor communicat

men of Philadelphia and take pleasure, in
compliance with your request, in stating some of
the principal objects which, suppose, engage
the common desire and the common cxertion
Of the Wing party TO bring about, in the GOV.
eminent of the United States. These are
A sound National Currency, regulated by the will
and authority Of the nation
An adequate Revenue, with fair protection 10
American industry:
Just restraints on the Executive power, embrac.
ing further restriction on the exercise OF the
Veto;
A faithful administration OF the Public Domain,
with an equitable distribution Of the Proceeds
of sales of ii among all the States
An honest and economical administration Of the
General Government leaving public officers
perfect freedom OF thought, and OF the right OF
e,.f'ra hut with st,iiahlp restraints auBluSt
improper interference in Elections:
An amendment of the Constitution, limiting the
incumbent of the Presidential office to u sin
gle term.
These objects attained, | think that We should
cease to be afflicted with bad administration Of
the Government.

Your friend, and OFT servant,
