Sir, consideryour paper stopped What my long articles in iaYor ot immediate annexation and my elo- quent and beautiful editorial concerning Walkers. speech you call fugitive ideas ; Mr. Banco, was it not for this brass collar and coon-skip harness which your Clay club have placed on me, I'd be d---d if I'd take such an insult from you or any other man; and was 1t not that expect the Registers office at this place at the hands of Henry Clay, next spring, Pd quit the advocacy of your partisan views
 Enter, BaiHG
 Bail0.-Come, what's all this fuss about :: " hat, Tn an angry controversy, when the club are waiting for you3 For shame, gen. uemen! silence your disputes and attend the behests ot the club--important business is pending before that body MT. Quill, your name has been in nomination fer the next legislature. Jeff the president, pr0. lem, in warm debate with himself touching vour great availability. Our numbers are few to- night; but, Quill, we are a host of ourselves, and quite sufficient 10 territy the fierce legions oi Democracy. Print, our pro. tenl presi- dent, and myself, are the only persons in at tendance, and as the matters before us are Welghty, Print sent me to secure your active ,t-ni1ct bo d. aI, the probability of your election.
 QmH-Y ou may go to the devil with your Clay Club-I am done with it. have been It's dray-horse, striker, and willing tool, and what has been the consequence? Brutus, Ca to, and Scipio have stung me to madness, and now laugh at my harmless anger But their opposition l could bear, if the members of my own party would read my paper What IS honor? What do care for a seat in the legislature, when my voice is not heard through the columns of my paper?
 Bajtf.-IIush, Quill, I'll read your pages fl Banco don't. Be silent, or those eagle-eyed Romans, Brutus, Cato and Scipio, will report this new disatiection to the Banner newspa- per-
 QmH.-Cato Prospect, yet the members of thls Club Of yours have made me turn my steel at his breast and wound a heart that's filled with kindness; but Scipio is an "assas- sin'' who turks in obscurity to escape my im- placable vengeance. He has said some things that move me much. He has ridculed my literary pretensions, wounded my sensbility, and humbled my native pride,-with him l will war.
 BaiHf-I regret this sour mood of yours, Quill; it i'll becomes you to rave SD wildly when the destinies of our party lie plant in our hands. wish Dr. Leech were here to assist us in our deliberations He is prompt and efficient. The locos tremble at his thun- der and shrink from his whitening stare.
 QmH-No more humbuggely, if you please, Mir. BailifE We are not in the Rialto, nor Zelye's grocery Such slang will do for the street, but, sir, cannot allow you to in- suit my understanding by repetition of the same, under present circumstances. And whether Eeeeh be absent or otherwise,is to me matter of indifference. That lie is a good readily concede; but that he is a God, deny. With regard to him, can say that he's to much engrossed in the party ques tions of the day to please me. He's always in my office telling me how to salt my articles and spice my songs. l don't like it. See here, Bailif, now read this prescription that Leeeh sent to one of his female patients to cure a corn with which she was afflicted.
 Baa9-Let me see 1t: it's his hand-write and no mistake. (Reeds.) "Nighay, for three weeks, blister and a National Bank on the abdomen; an emehc, with tincture of bankruptcy, till the patient yomits tariff, with an injection of spirits of turpenime, for protective and sympathetic purposes; Span- ish flies in moderate quanties, to restore pub lie confidence and animal warmth in the sys tenn, together with oz. of aloes and bottle of No. 6, to rectify the fiscal affairs of the stomach, and soften the acerbity of public feeling. This done, and repeated if necessa- ", will effect a healthy and economical ad- of public affairs and remove the corn from her big toe"
 BaiAf-For Gods sake, enough-we all have our faults and hence ought to excuse the political zeal of Leech and eccentrcities of our worthy friend.
