Start not gentle reader, at the tremen-
dous caption to this article, for we have
a score Of things to relate, which, If it
does not astonish the whole civilized
world. il afforded the rarest kind OF sport
10 that portion of the world aforsaid which
is 10 be found within the limits of the
goodly county Of Licking. So much for
a beginning. For weeks past a paper
called the Newark Gazette, and printed
II we mistake not, somewhere in our fair
town. and edited BY the Lord knows who,
had an advertisement stuck under its ed
itorial head, calling meeting Of the
wings Ofthis county on Saturday last
From the din of preparation, we had ex-
Decled. or at Iesst we had reason to ex.
pect, the greatest kind Of coon gather
inc, and sorelly we're we afraid for the
safety of the deMocratic party, and-the
ideaiust strikes us--as like as notit was
the fear of that meeting, that prevented
The Constitutionalist from being issued
: on Saturday. The fearful day came, and
the suf rose as usual, and BY midNday
was high in the heavens, but it was not
the .tsun Of Austerliiz."
The meeting convened, and-"tell it
not IN Gath, but publish it" in the Con-
stitutionalist-Sam White said he was
the only whig present. O., what 9 FIB
was that, my countrymen, for with our
own big eyes did we not see both George
M Young and our interesting friendJosh-
ma Mathjot there; and not only were they
there in body, but in soul also, for Young
made a motion, and Joshua made
speech. The meeting was organized BY
appointing some How (whO has not the
honor Of out acquaintance) as chairman,
and then The sage Of ":0akland Hair
gave them Jesse from the start. He
SAID the meeting had been called for the
purpose of appointing delegates to attend
aconyentioH TO nominate candI 1ate
for Congress. Why was thisS The
people, the whole people were already
satisiied with the candidate already nom
mated He, himself, said Mr.. Stanbery
was candidate for Congress. and the
pSoDle wanted none other. Aiew men
personal enemies Of himself, he conlin-
ued. looking at Mr.. Young at the same
TINA with an expression black as the
deeds of WhiggeY-had called this
meeting,and fOrthis reason no wings had
attended. His democratic friends were
here in numbers, as lockers on, but the
whips would not attend and give scoun''
tenance to such proceeding. The
nanaeers-lookiDg at Young-and the
TYLER headers shaking bis fist al Ma
thiot-were opposed to olbim, but the
people, the'liberal and enlightened peo'
ple-IOoking at the democrats when he
said liberal and enIightened--were fol
him. .
Mr. Mathiot can stand any thing in rea.
son. but he never could and never will
foregO the privilege Of hearing himel
make a spsech whenever he can get
chance and so accordingly Joshua sPFang
70 his feet.and made speech. Tha
sDesch We don't recOlleCtRuch about, ,bu
arerather confident he didn't cry any
and do not think he called John @IyIel
4 traitor more than l6 or II times. y l.
the course of his speech Mr. Stanbery
interrupted him by telling him he wal
very silly, but took the wire edge of tn
re6uke By telling him that when Il
(Stanbery) was Of Mathiot's ~age,he wa
silly too. Joshua thinking that tbeF
was chance for him to get wise as n
goi older, took the rebuke in good par'
An adjournment was had after one 9
Sam Whites pOinitnO-Point speeches
and thus the whig county meeting az
jOurned without appointing delegate
and thus ended the first scens and hr
act Of this great whig farce.
