augmentation of the of the estimates of this

of but ST. 100000. From this there was to be de-
Quoted the appropriation for the home squodron which

the most numerous we have seen assembled 10 this
cty-always famed for the difficulty OF getting it's
CITIZENS together since the glorious days of the
Log Cabin. The action OF the meeting will be
found in another column. The memorial, from the
ehast, and eoeent pen Of Holden Rhodes, Esq. is
just the paper for the occasion. and presents the
subeet-the great suffice. of national independence
and prosperity, so strongly, that even Locoioc"ism
must be staggered. We commend 1t tn the consl

bered how the old Kentuckan had exhausted =. .
they supposedly the language of praise on Wbip.

new idea OF perfection he could coin for his new
and distinguished visitor. MIR Clay (always at some
good natured effort TO enven the social circle) re-
solved to have an encounter with Uue,e Ned and
began an inerrogatory.
well, Uncle Ned, you have American Eclip,e
and am glad of 1t: but am very fearful IL will be
OUT OF your power TO say much new in his praise.
You have had so many fine horses and hive said so
much in their behalf that our ideas of perfection must
be nearly exhausted. To use your own LANGUAGE.

mentally invoked to his aid that ready wi, and 70

were directed to him, as ono Of Unce Ned's good
