MYSTERIES OF CooNDOM,

Our correspondent, One seAo kno~A circulated
pretty freely among the, members Of the late
Whig Convention; he looked and listened 10
them while IN session, and informs Us that he has
many good things toteA at the proper time. He
witnessed a number Of incidents. He saw the
Little B1ouer often, and watched him closely, for
his own amusement; and he says he never saw
any body so anxious as the Bioocer was to make
a speech, but nobody seemed to know that the
BZoaoer was in existence One scene he describes
as very good 1t illustrates the proverbial and
notorious contempt in which Mr.. Badger holds
every person whom he thinks proper to consider
beneath his notice. The said MIR, Badger had
made some motion in the Convention, when a
gentleman from Chatham, desiring to hear the
motion more distinctly, asked Mr. Badger to re-
peat it. But the Ex-Secretary was engaged about
that time smoking cigar; and although the qu+s-
ton was repeated half dozen times, he treated
the gentleman and his question with silent con-
tempt And what could the gentleman do but
take his seat, and wait tilt Mr. Badger, whp evi-
IDENTIFY thought more of his cigar than he did of
him, was prepared to notice him. Great men
are not TO be questioned with impunity

aLAsT WORDS OF oGLE.n

We have seen in raIsFederal papers land
ansong them the Hilsborough Rccordcrl an at
tempt made to disprove the dying confessions of
Mr. Ogle This attempt cannotsucceed. Every
man has at least one honest hour. and MIR. Ogle
had his: it was the hour of his death When his
career had been run, and swhen>the concerns of
this state Of existence were nothing compared to
the realities of the life to come with the solemn
wonders of eternity bursting on his expiring vision
in that honest hoHr-he confessed tint he had
acronged M. Vda Buren, and that his speech
untrue!
Here is his confession, taken from the Western
tPa,l Union Democrat, and we have every reason
to believe itstrictly true:
OcLE's SPEEcH-his lest illness and death.--The

A NUr FOR Mr.. FRANCIS TO CRACK.

We understand that this gentleman, who came
here running over with Badgcrisn', and who will
return.as full of Gr0hamism, attended the Court
House, and made aGspeeeh. In that speech he is
said to have been very severe [foF he is known to
be ssFcrc man) on Mr. Calhoun and Nullif-
cation. For Mr. Badger he could do great
many things; love for Governor Morehead WAS
the breath of his nostrils; he offered to wager
bis head for scrub-broone that Mr. Clay would
be eleced--but Modification Oil how the
bare mention of it startled and panied him Does
he remember any thing about the following Toast
drank by certain "M. Francis" on the 4'h of
July, 1882, in franklin, Macon County9 We
quote from the file of the Consttutonalist -
"By M Francis Gov. Hamilton Of South Carolina:
His late address m Hamburg will pepetuate his memo
ry when the advocates of an unconstitutional Tariff
shall have mouldered in oblivion"
We merely ask for information.

THE MAN OF ASHLAND.

Somebody, it seems, has composed march,
and dedicated it to Mr.. Clay, and somebody else
has asked him to &c cut a stick to be staff for
a dandy coon-banner that is to be. We suppose
the march is to be played when Mr. Clay goes
next to look at the White House, and think more
than probable that the stick is to be held over
the swimming heads and tOttering forms of a cho-
sen band of hard-ciderites. Mr.. Clay is welcome
to all the honor he may gain by such Disgusting
mummery.
