RiIIn Very GOOD.

Pat. Well, Tom, VINO shall we take
up for the Presidency | fear We shall
have trouble about il.
Tom. Really, can't tell think our
whole party is at loss on the subject
Old Bucks low wages Speech will always
/ kill him-Calhoun's Notification will rum
his prospects, and
/ Pat. / don't know so well about that,
once thought he ought to be hung as
/ Traitor, but have changed my notions on
4 that subject, as on most others-untll the
/ Election at least.
Tom. Ben,on's cravat is so high, that
he can never see the Presidency over IL,
and Old Dick will come about as nigh TO it,
as he did to killing Tecumseh, and that
was not near at oil. As for poor Van his
cake is all dough; he has been frisking a.
bout the Old Lion of the Hermitage TO get
him to roar one time more; but the roar
can't be heard. The other beasts have
long since discovered that the Jack.all
President is not the Monarch OF the Forest
mmself--and as to Capting Tyler, if IRE
make him President, he will turn Wing
upon the spot, and then we should look as
foolish as The Wings do now.
/ Billy. can't go him.
Pat. neither.
Tom. Wen, gentlemen, who can you
got
Billy. That's telling.
Pat That's the facl-lm for not com
ing out on the subject too soon--until after
the Election, Cor if we get upset, I'm not
sure | shan't oAange some Of my opinions
abou, that time again, aud get back to what
| was before, should not be surprised,
after we suffer little more from derang-
cd currency, that United States bank
should become Constiiuiionul--ihat after
enjoying the benefits Of Free Trade, until
we are insolycnt, tina, we all turn Tariiiiies
| 10 protect American industry RS. European
/ induslry-that after the General Govern.
ment has squnndercd ALT money they can
| lay their bands on, we come to the conclu.
sion, that the States had as well have their
share of the sales Of the Public Lands, TO
be used according to their own notion.
/ Tom. Mister, like tha, talk, will YOU
go on
Pat Why, friend Tom, | think have
taken the lead far enough at present. Do
you 90 ahead awhile.
Tom. | don't like to take the lead in
great matters, in such august presence,
unless knew wha, lead would suit them.
Pd, You are a Yankee.
Tom Yes.
Pat They know their interest.
Ton. Yes.
Pot. They are nuiaciurng, nnyi.
eating, fishing, economical people.
I Tom. Yes.
Pat Don't like TO work for foreigners.
! Tom. No.
Pat Give 'em an equal chance, and
they can do as well as any people on earth.
Tom Better.
Pat Well, now you hare been South.
erner awhlle-you see our Agricultural
staples taxed, and fairfield, and absolutely
excluded on 'lother side of the walcr-Is
that right
Tom. Didn't use to think so. but |
don't know what TO say about t-lust now
= considering
Pal. Considering what
Tom Considering that your kinsman
here lsprescnt-say nothing keeps dark,
and has black book.
Pot Come, Cousin Buck YOU seem 10
be musing. Can't you talk little
Billy | have been wiinesyin, your
darling s,faws, and see ,he way the breeze
IS blowing. As neitherof you keep black
book, and as shall not ask either OF YOU
any odds hereafter, If YOU don't ike il, |
shall not hint about as YOU did, but 20 right
ahead.
Par. Go ii then,
Billy The most magnificent spectacle
Of moral grandeur and intellectual snblim.
lty, the world ever beI,cld was HENRY /.
CLAY in the Senate ,,f the United States
the most august body on earih-arraign.
ing the Representatives Of independent,
soyreigntles for their recreancy to the
dearest interests of their country, and for I
sacrificing those interests on the black al. +
tar Of the Demon Of Party--scathing them
with the lightning Of his eve, aud bleach.
ing them with the terror OF his eloauence +
"A solitary individual, without power or
patronage, we behold him rising with the /
ardor Of patriotism, and IN the majesty Of
his intellect, hurting the jayelns OF indg.
nation at that man, who occupies throne
by the confidence Of his countrymeu. but
tfamples on their rights aud interests BY
his dccideatd! power. Dduntcss. as the
emblem of his country, his enemies auail
as their evil deeds pass in review before
his steady and whitening eye. Oh thai
this petty contest was over, that mipht
give vent to my feelings Of duty to my |,
country.
PAT. Alb, sir, often have looked upon
The picture you have drawn, and my knees
have smltten each other like Belshazzar.
OF old, and have inyoluntarily cried 10
myself" Mene, meme nkei rpharsin.H
Tom Often have mine eyes wcpt tears
oil bitterness while partizan duty required
me TO laceratc the fair fame Of this nobest
son of his country.
