olt Of our office to attend the Sale of the
Merchant Mill, and Farm, late the proper.
~ of Mr.. Levi Tyson, decd, which was
Offered at the Court House steps by Geo.
Ross Feazey, Esq, Trustee. The crier
mounted the steps and offered it, but not
single bid was mute!
The property had mahy advantages,
The water power is heavy. il being on the
Big Elk. and the farm is valuable one
! there were several gentlemen Who wished
Ia purchase it, but Mr. Clay is defeated
Polk is elpcled-ccnhdenc is gone, and
property is rendered almost vaueless.- -
Yet at the very time this sale was a!trmp-
ted, and such palpable evidence was being
given, of the evil brought upon the coun-
try-lhe locoiocos were firing cannon and
shouting over their victory. Verify we
do believe they would shout over the
utter destruction of our Republic, if 1t
was brough, about by their agency.
Eriday .Norni~g,-WeIl the grand dis
play is over. Would that we had proper
words wherewilh to do justice TO the
mGgn,fcence and grandeur of the occa-
sion, Oh! ye menagerles and clrcusrs,
and bands OF music grinders, and itinera-
ting actor. and actresses, hide your di-
min,hed heads. The unterrifcd, unclari-
fed, unwaShcd dcmocrnryof Cat Swamp
Ivory Swamp and from the regions round
about Tuikeytown. and elsewhere, have
had publication and procession and you
all are totally eclipsed' Give ear and
hearken unto us, oh We Jim Crow clubs
and Yankee Deincators,n expect not
again to create a sensation in lhese dig
g'ns'-lhe boys and negroes have stared
and been amazed at you in days thai are
passed, but hereafter you will be s'small
potatoes" We were not about the loco
toco taverns where the PoIki,es most did
congrcgatc, and our readers therefore
must not expect us to give them des
crIptons of HE 'capers,' and rows and
eye bIackings,' and brceches lcarings'
and mud waIlowings' that took place.

If, as some very learned politicians have
averred, it be essential to genuine dtmo-
cr0cy, that portion Of the inferior cxtre-
nifty Of IA certain neither garment be ex.
posed to the gaze of the world-that, ia
fact, this "qUahfcoijoa'' does "per SCI
constitute the very essence of that branch
OF political science, then indeed must we
admit, however. unwiliugIy, that the
procession which moved through aporlion
Of the streets in the middle OF lhe day, il
not en'ircI Y pure, was at least bat very
slightly aIloyed. Never before did sucI,
motley crew parade the strcels--il Sc,

were we know not; from whc nee they
came we canno!say. Certain it is, that not a
dozen citizens OF Ibis town were in tina,

here we take on serious and earnest
air.
We have bs(nre charged, and we again
charge, that the Iocofoco orators and wri-
ters who figured in The campaign just en-

dis peo2le. They have tried to divide
our population inro distinct classes, and
to excite envy, jealousy and chickering's
amongst them They have lried to array
the poor against the rich. They have
scattered broadcast the seeds of hatred
and discord, and discussion. They have
charged the wings with being the arslo-

them with .lalschood, and with uttering
reasonable d0cirincS We have not time
in this cursory and hastily written article
to ent into argument. But who are the
rich men of to day?--the poor men Of 80
years ago. Who will be the rich mea
