LEGTSLAmEVE CAUCUS
The Legislative Caucus for the nomination
of Repudiating Candidates met IN Jackson on
Monday last. The people paying the expense
Of this Caucus-composed as II was, mostly Of
members of the Legislature Being in jackson
during its setting, we stepped in To see Of
what material the thing was made. A hot
discussion was in progress on the part Of the
regulators, in opposition to the adoption Of a
resolution introduced by Col. Lewis Sanders,
Esq, binding the Convention 20 nominate a
Bond paying Democrat for Gov. After con-
siderable discussion, the resolution Of Col.
Sanders was, on motion, laid on the table and
the bond Democrats withdrew from the Con
vention, and let the repudiators have their
own way. The repudiators then had a full
swing, and in their nomination none bot those
of the repudiating stripe stood half chance.
Gen. Briscoe was put in nomination for Gov
ernor, but declined; saying he could not run,
and didn't believe he could be elected, any

resulted in the election of the General on the
first ballot. Wilson Hemingway was cho.

nominations for Auditor and Treasurer. They

Above is the uery formidable ticket Of the
Regulators, brought forth by Convention
that was to harmonic all discordant elements
of the party and such!a ticket! the half of the
nominees possessing no more brains than a
stewed oyster. But any one who could have
seen the members of the Convention or eau
Gus could not have expected more. We look
ed around the room, after the bond>payers had
retired,and such collection of heads and faces
| we hope never TO see again in that ball. La
water would have fed from the hall in terror,
while Spurzeheim or Caldwell would have de-
rived as much pleasure in tho examination OF
the7bumps on pine knot as the genealogical
Developments ofthose worthy representatives
of the unterriicd democracy. Here sat man.
with about half an inch forehead, whose nose
and chin when he drew in his lips would have
made an excellent pair of nut crackers, while
there sat another whose'tusks when he'smiled
shone like grubbing hoes, that from exposure
were coated with forty years rust. The fol-
owing lines from the epIgram on Cato. the
Censor, may be appropriately introduced here
as part of the description
"Witk tusks'' mouldly and green,
"Thou'lt fright the shades when thou art dead
And hell won't let thee in.''
Another looked like he had all his life been
afflicted with simples, and one might have OK
