the Democrats in Cumberland county was held OF
MilIve on Thursday the 18th inst, and although

with profuse and elegant display of flags and ban
ners and wreaths of flowers, headed by the badge
Texas, bearing the notices, Texas, Union and
Liberty" " Britain cannot have Texas" manned
with full crew Of sailors in uniform and drawn by
six noble greys. The tsrs as fine a set Of fell
lows as sailed, and handled their oars, beaved
their lead and cried the soundings, in true nautical
style -Four surviving soldiers of the old Jersey
Blues Of Revolutionary memory, almost the last
Of these patriots, almost young again by their
JOY at the anticipated success of the Democratic par
y, of which they staunch supporters. These
wings of the old stamp, have affinity with modern
counterieiis. The poor coons looked sorrowful,
dc zen of the four footed animals having fallen
victims to their i'll fortune, in being the chosen I'M
blems of dead party aud their two footed com
peers, all looking straight down their noses.

MEETING AT THE GREEN TREE,
WAsHNGroN TOWNSHIP
The Eagle says A queer scene took place at the
Green Tree, in Washington township, the other
night, when oui friends Of the Wing stumping gang
were there, enlle htening the public. One of them
was illustrating the beauties of the Tariff and refer
red to the price of charcoal the staple production of
that region. Do you not get be exclaimed, "a
better price for your coal than YOU did before the hg
tariff of AZ was put onl" " Mo- replied an honest
collier, We do not!' " guess you are mistaken, -
said the stumper. Well guess I'm not /" rejoned
the other have been carting coal steady for eight
years, and 1t was never 30 low now ~ The
slumper was siumped, and SAID about the Ia
rih but the Democrats present, good part of the
meeting, adourned across 10 the hckory pole raised
the night before, and gave three cheers for Polk,
Dallas, and Texas.
So the matter has been related to US. If,here is
any mistake, we hope the secretary of some of the
Clay Clubs will zee TO having it corrected
