GJ-We make the following extract from
letter from our old friend Col. Z. Cloud
giving all account of a scene on board a
steamboat OH the Ohio on the evening of
the 2Sth ut.
"Afler the supper table was removed,
the passengers assembled in the grea, sa-
loon of the cabin, and after organizing,
several gentlemen were called for, who
enlivened the occasion with both argument,
and wit. AT length MIR. Elliot of OHIO
was loudly called for, and promptly ap-
peared, he commenced by stating the fact,
that he was minister of the NJ. L. Church
,hat he was stationed at t. and that
his year would soon expire, when he IN
tended to take the stump in favor of Clay
and Freinghuyscn, of whose success he
was confident. He said that the locolo.
cos objected to the wings, on account of
their singing songs, but for his part he
could see no improperly in the thing, but
he thong Int we were warranted by the scrip
lures in SO doing, and alluded TO the song

sang, when Pharaoh and his host perish

were already chin deep, he though it was
right that we should sing for joy-he re-
minded us, that tn; ladies never sang in
praise of Matly, because he had no music
in his soul, and never loved woman in
his life--he told us amongst many other
good things. that at the next Presidential
election he should bring from mis- own
house ten votes for Clay and Frel.nghuy-
sen, nine sors, and himself would max e
ten, and if his wife could vote they would
make eleven, A vote was then taken OH
board, when the President of the meeting
announced Al for Clay and Frelinghuy-

THE CECIL WING.

.Anecdotes.-A friend tells us that
certain good-for-nothing filthy rascal,
known to every man in town as utterly,
devoid OF honesty or principle-who
plays cards with negroes for cent game
and cheats them at that, was heard to
say that he would not vote for the gambler
Clay. No comment necessary.
In certain grog shop not fifty miles
from this office there is a caricature past
ed up. representing Mr.. Clay playing cards
with Polk. Now as far as Polk is cor
cerned 1t is well enough, for it is notori-
Gus that he is alike gambler and duellst.
But then the idea of putting the picture
up in a .Glfhy hole where rowdies meet
unanimously" to play cards, is rather
too great IKE. No comment required.
As generally remark, it is only ne
cessary to say that whose charges Mr.
Clay with being a gambler is guilty Of
telling fasehood; for although he play
ed cards when he was younger as did
every body in that region of county, he
has not been in the practice of doing SO
for many years.

aS-ln the last "Democratn are several
communications &C., which we will give
about such notice as their merit seems
to require. 1t is our business to pay at
Ientlon TO these things, no matter how
much we dispse the task.
The first communication is signed NJ
Y. v which we take for granted stands
for .Nore Youthful Verdancy, as we have
not latel. seen greater display of green
ness. Its writer is evidently perfect bag
of wind" who mistakes confused tumble
ofbig words for fine writing; in his school
boy effort he has perverted ,he meaning
OF almost every term he uses, as much as
the title "Dcmocracy'' is perverted BY
their party generally. The bird ofvictory
he says, is again lowering over their ban
ner. Now what manner of bird this is,
will, we presume be perceived by every
one. The latter half of its name is the same
as the name of their leader, and some mod
EST people poke upon i, the name or"ay =;
lie crcch," 1t is in all truth fit emblem
OF the Polk party, as its aspirations sell
dom lead Ito fly higher than poke stalk
lie talks of the ''cordal unanimily" OF
their party. Has the cry of McGinnis
been already forgol.en?-haye they no,
heard of the democratic" meeting held
in Philadelphia on Monday last, at which
they resolved that they would not supper,
Poke Do they not hear Polk denounced
on every side, because Of his notorious
British, Anti American, Free Trade prin-
ciples2 Do they suppose tina. they can
humbug the people into the service OF
such man as James X. Polk, by such
miserable putting as NJ. Y. V. has perpc-
lra,ed; it is SO outrageousIy ridiculous as
to draw laugh from every sensible man
Another communication signed Sala-
mander, quotes much from the emperor
OF China, at which we are not surprised as
it is characteristic of that party to prefer
foreign articles to those manufactured a,
home. This writer alls the present tariff
a "patent robbery tariff law" and denies
that it has been benefited the country.
Here the cloyen foot is shown. The
Locolocos in spite of their protestations
are opposed to tariff, aud stab the prn.
clple when ever they think they can con.
cealedly. Locofocoism is opposed to the
best interests of this country, and the
people should rise, and will rise i'll their
might and ''cIush the wretch whose only
tendency is to blight and destroy; begot-
ten of humbuggery and lies it has had its
day, and is now lettering, filthy mass OF
error and corruption, towards its inevita-

varlously estimated at from 10000 to l5,-

We noticed mailing machine from the

of it. There were many large rolled iron
banners with Tariff notices, among W hich
we noticed one in the shape of tremen-

scribed "Good for raising C7ay," and on
the other IA real PoM-diggcr." 1t was
impossible for the immense crowd TO hear

were Hon. John Sergeant, J. G. Clarkson
Esq, Hon. James Cooper, Josiah Randall
