given the wings assembled last Saturday week al
Mr. j. B. Joh nson's, for the purpose of holding a
great unthought-of Mas Meeting in the county of
Johnston and 10 eat an excellent barbecue. | sup
pose according to what they said) they made pre-
Paratons for FIVE hundred people; and do not be-
heVt, candIdlV speaking, there were more than two
hundred on the ground. About II O'Clock whig,
who is not the son of old wise SOlom on, mounting
himself upon the steps of the piazza door, exclaim-
ed Come up gentlemen and organize organize |!
Yes, | say organize ~ Yet he proposed Meth er
resolutions nor rules by which an organization
might be formed, but continued speaking for near
half an hour when finding himself completely
snlanged by his own arguments, he gave way to
Tue most eloquent Of coons. This poor haggard
coon, with defeat staring him in the face, spoke
nearly three hours, using alt the ingenuity he was
master OF 10 persuade the people that high tariff
makes cheap goods. This was jumbled mass Of
misrepresentation and false suppositIon, which his
hearers soon perceived, and either left or gave no
Suenuon: he then proceeded to discuss Nation
al Bank and Texas just about in the same manner,
c%u rI concluded br raising great lump Of old dry
oIay 10 Inc top of the most lofty pine and putting
EoOu Vely Folk In the corner of the fence in order
Wa' IL may sProut up by the 4th of March next.
a n CERTAIN WhIg then, evidently striving to off
~ ueDate on the democratic side, moved that the
.o"a 60 and eat the fne barbecue. The people
S SS'o No no! 1oe 1oish to hear the other side"
N'; IomlInson, the democratic candidate, arose
tuu spoke nearly half an hour, bearing down so
-saViIy upon the coon that he said 81 will vote for
myself again" Mr.. T. having finished his speech,
.. a. watson, staunch democrat, arose the wings
@ nove to interrupt him by putting out the barbecue,
W Out 10 VAN for notwithstanding it had been pre-
paleu lor i've hundred people, il was eaten up in
ss man ten minutes, and the people listening at
t:huVey to Mr.. Watson, who spoke but short
, "he, skinnng the eoons as he WENT and ended
'uiIust Ti shouts of appreciation.
- MS was the last whig effort in "Old Johnston" !"
5.r mere are It's effects at the same place on Mon
"a Sy Vast last election day.: Mr.. Tomlfnson received
cSi1 ivO!es and his opponent only 81 ) MIR. Polk re-
rono5 comeo 81, and Mr.. Clay only 81 which shows
D,.S9sVey that the people in that precinct do not
b.'Jnu b.nu 70 be gulied any longer by whig orators,
,eluer, log cabins, coon skins and barbecues.
