IEeIsL4IIVE CAUCUS.
The legislative Caucus for the nomination
Of Rapudiatinq CanaidaIas met "a Jackson on
Monday last. The people paying the expense
ofthis Caucus-eomposed as Il was, mostly Of
members Of the legislature Being IN Jackson
during is setting, we stepped IN to see Of
what material the thing was made. A hot
discussion was in progress on the part OF the
repudiators, in opposition to the adoption Of
resolution introduced By Col. Levi. Sanders,
ESQ, binding the Convention % 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 Jet the repudiaiors have their
own way. The repudiators then had full
swing, and IN their nomination none bot those
ofthe repudiaiing stripe stood half chance.
Gen. Briscoe was put in nomination for Gov
nor, but declined; saying he could not run,
and didn't believe he could be elected, any
how and then followed the contest between
old Talabola aud the nice Gen. Brown, which
resulted in the election Of the General on the
first ballot. Wilson Hemingway was cho.
sen over Col. Fall for Secretary OF State. Aud
itor Matthews and Gen. Clark received the
nominations for Auditor and Treasurer. They
vert Ministers ofthe Gospel, but have conclu-
ded, we suppose, the State pays better than
theif Church Of God, end therefore havg aban-
the seryioei Of the latter fer the flesh pols Of
the former Candidates for Congress were
then balloted for, which resulted IN the cleo
ton Of Jacob Thompson, Gov Tucker, w. II.
Hammett and r II. Roberts.
Above is the very formidable ticket Of the
Regulators, brought forth by a Convention
that was to harm0nize all dscordant elements
Of the party and sucha ticket the half Of the
nominees possessing no more brains than a
steved 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, afer the bond~payers had
retlred,and such a collection Of heads and face,
we hope never 10 see again in that hall. Ia.
water would have fed from the hall in terror
while Spurzeheim or Caldwell would have de.
rived as much pleasure in tho examination OIL
e'bumps on a pine knot as the craniologica
Developments Of those worthy representatives
Of the unterrihod democracy. Here sat a 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'smileC
shone liae grubbing hoes, that from exposure
were coated with forty years rust The fol-
owing lines from the eplgram on Cato The
Censor, may be appropriately introduced here
as part Of the description:
a. VIII tusks" mouldlY and green,
"Thou'lt fright the shades when thou art deaf
And he'll WON'T lei thee II"
