DEAR bkNNETr:
Once more find myself under the necessity OF |
welding my mysterious pen Ger beautiful sheet |
OF Ames superior paper, to inform you and your |
hosts OF readers Of the proceedings and doings III
this land OF "garden sarse and other small vege
tables.
The disciples Of Mormonism did create some
thing oi a sensation among our citizens. But this
deluslon passed oil like the dew under the powerful
rays OF the morning sun. Merism, too, has been
sowed and scattered 10 the tour winds et heaven,
yet qul.e recently IL has partially revived its
dropping head TO be struck us iata blow--its death
blow. More recently, however, aboiluonism Qas,
evening) has made It's appearance among us In the
person OF a Mr.. Burleish, & nulae ghost or apos.
lie OF the black Candidate" " az you cali Rrn-y.
lie succeeded la faliyIDg large crowd at the Cly
Hail-and such a crowd.
Mr. Burei.h commenced by reviewing the cha
racier aud pnnciples oi james n POLK. lie ob
lrced 10 him on tne ground OF Immediate anneXa.
ZION oi Texas anc, cuutinucd he, can we as liberty
men, give our VOTES 10 such denagosue and I'M
podly man tnls Polk. (hers the locoiocos
growitd) Ii We do, We shali 30 contrary to the
Ia vs. of mat sacred book, the bible, (heIe he wac
interrupted by barrel oi coal being upset ana
kicked about The hJoT,) because that blessed book
commands us expressly To vote ior men tearing
God. (Hlsslng, grodnins, and cries oi pfope go
on &c." The speaker here paused, has volce
being inaudable.) You know, my irienas,
said he that The annexation III 1exas would tenu

are, whether wings or democrats. (Chrers)

them to be wings much groanlng and Kissing
Sam gets good share AT length, some thing
like order is restored, and the apostle continued
and said that the cause at Liberty had never
necn mobbed but twice IN Come ecticut--( (siove
aud stove pipes fang abouD and hoped il would
never be again Ceres OF II will) He r. sumed his
argumeni, and said that Mr.. Polk's ways o
writing letters was far different from that at Mr.
Clay, because Polk had written but one letter upon
annexation, and every body knew what that meant
aud Mr.. Clay had written five letters upon thus
question, one alter the other, Ia explain his sx-
planation, and sll the people could NOT agree hat
he actually meant. (Whigs ewore aud rayed
md says hurleigh, am going 10 give you IN,
views upon these letters oi Mr.. Clay. (Cnes u
"go on ride HIM or rail, down nth The ngger.')
Mr. Rugees wished that the audience might hear
hum through, Order was again partially restored,
when Mr.. Kelsey, the well known proprietor oi
the extensive house called lhs shades" WISHED
TO know il IT would be- out ol order to
ask the speaker question:. Certainly not

tlon had been entered into between the democrats
and Mr. Brney, az such was the report. Mr. u
replied by reading Mr.. Brney's letter to the Tn
bune, nc. Mr.. b. wished th.t the audience
would ask him no questions. because il ives
drawing him from The argument. (Stonet
came rafting through the Window To return
TO Mr. Clay, Mr.. b read his numerous
letters though he was hardly heard, the nose was
so prodgIous, and commented as near Ms / could
understand in this wise, that Clay was ia favor o
annexation when II could be dose without war
without dlshonor, &c -(Tcrriblc noise oi al
knds) Thus II IS PLAIN 10 see that Clay would
like Texas annexed as well as Polk, Odd -

they don't want Texas with war, dlfhonor, tsc.,
(stones thrown through the window, wings rave.
swear and hlss,) and we as liberty men believe
that Texas VIII never be annexed until by the
common consent Of the people, whether under the
administration OF Polk or Clay tRere Dr. Clark
pops up and asks the speaker a question which hr
says Is relevant 10 ilre case. WHAT the question
was was unable To uDderstand.) Mr. u contnusd

pieces OF the stove. and remnants OF demolish, II

letters, his (Cay's) inconsistency, and rowing him
to be as much OF an annexutionlst as Polk. Hen.
ry Hubbel, Esd. could no longer keep his seat -
He arose, txced and enreged and refuted Mr.
B g arguments IN sucn style that done honor e.
himself and 10 the perfect satisfaction OF all -
Upon the strength cf this the great Liberty meet
ing adjourned, amid modern Bedlam, and three
vocierous cheers By the wings Tor the great states
