A SCENE.
Wing committeeman NTH paper and
pencil. My friend suppose you intend
to vote the whig ticket, as usual.
WOrkingmGn.-Why do you wish TO
know.
Whig.-We are now making out our
list TO be returned to the central commit:
tee, and l want to put ell true men
down good for the first Monday in A.
pril.
WorkingmGH.-I shall vote as please
hereafter-I have had enough Of your
promises, and enough of whig times.
Whig.-But, friend, you surprise me
don't be too hasty in determining
how you vote: have the lOc0s Abeen see-
ing yOuG

one as to how shall vote. ] am free
man in every sense Of word, and will
no longer wear the letters that you and
your friends would put on me. We work.

unteelingly deceived, and by men who
know better or ought TO know better

dollars day and roast beef times, that
you promised VS., we have had enough
Of such fare; and my fellow workingmen
who talk with me say the same thing,
Whig.-Bul you know we did not
promise that literally and certainly.
WorkingmGn.-Yes, you did; and here
is 'hOneSt' John Davis speech, which you
gave me in 1910, which says so in sub
stance ifnOt in words; and you know and
| know, that when we were parading in
the Bunkerhill procession, (for we were
there) that very roast beef and two dol
lars,' was the most conspicuous motto in
the line.
Wing We'll, you must make some
allowance for the obsiinac. of Tyler,who
has stood in the way of the bank which
we meanttO make, and WHICH would have
brought the good times.
WorkingmGn,-Tell me not Of that,
for Of all the curses ever inflicted on any
country, the last United States Bank was
the biggest. 1t now lies in one putrify.

cannot disbelieve the evidence Ofmy own
senses.
Whig.-But that is the Bank under its
State Charter, not United States.
WOrkingmGR.--It was the same thing
in another dress-ihe same capital, the
same stockholders, the same men to man
age il, and the same swindlers at the
head of it. Who believes that they would
have been more honest, or less powerful
for mischief, under congress charter. /.

hands that you could have had more con

Jaudon, and the rest, who you told
me were the saviors Of the cOunlTyH l
tell you | have been humbugged long e.
nough, and it is TOO late for you TO try
it further in bank matters. Besides
whaA you promised the 'beef and two
doIlars,' and to make the people happier
and richer, you said that the mere elec-
ton Of the wing candidates would do it,
and would add 100 millions TO the pri'
ces Of property. Confidence as you
called it, not bank, was to do this; but
instead of that the whig times are worse
than any other ever known. Harrison
and Tyler were not put up as bank men.
Harrison you know, and ] know, declared
from the stump. 81 am not a bank man

heads the whig ticket 'no national Bank

what this whig paper said was wanted
to make good times, mo national banE
