about retiring to the yard, a wing friend
asked Of the Chairman whether or not
such wings as would vote for Col johnson
in preference to Mr.. Clay for President,
would be allowed to vote in the meeting
His question somewhat bothered the
chairman, who cast an imploring look a,
"Crisis"--a wink and nod from him, and
our wing friend could not again catch the
chairman's eyel They proceeded to the
yard. Johnson men on the right--yan Bu-
rem on the left--and those for the other
gentlemen in front. The counting then
took place, after which they returned to
the house to hear the result, which was as
follows: for Van Buren,, l56; for Johnson,

The attorney" now made motion that
the meeting pledge itself to support Martin
Van Buren, for President and r. M. John
son for Vice President of the United
States, in case he would consent TO run for
that office. ..
Before the question was taken on this
motion, Marquis lie Mouse"--his whiskers

nearest and dearest their hearts, the patriot,

hard cider; with him they fell--wi,h him
let them rise; and after some discussion.
it was adopted--not unanimously. ..
The marquis" then offered resolution
recommending Judge Earickson for Gov
ernor. Old "Crisis" spoke some time
about the Judge, but whether for or against
him, we could not make out; the resolution
was adopted, however, unanimously, and

of him. Set1 Cornl ..... ...
Mr.. HALL, the gentleman who is to edit
the New Democrat was called upon, and
responded in brief speech. When we
saw him ascend the stand we supposed we
should be able TO gather from what he said
something as TO the course the Democrat
would pursue in reference to State politics;
but in this we were deceived. He spoke
altogether Of national affairs, or rather q

song Among other measures of the wing
party which he spoke in opposition to, was
the bankrupt law; he was opposed to the
late bankrupt law; denounced it as uncon

been the advocates of such law, and
doubtless would have been in favor of the
