"THE SAME OLD COON"
A VERY MoURNFUL ELEGY.

y 'Ehl NlOU mr. ~ LLE"h'
Dedicated to his Surriring Friends.
The coon is dead-,he same old coon,
We nc'cr sh all see him more;
A long far coat of NOTED grey
Upon his back he wore.
He used to roam about the states,
To barbecucs and shows;
He had two ears upon his head,
And smeIlers on his nose.
At routes and meetings day and night,
His aid was e'er in store;
He sat sometimes upon tree,
Sometimes besile the door.
But death which comes to all at last,
Came to this same CID coon;
In tennessee he caught cold
And fell down in swoon
A gentle breeze from Jerseys shore,
Revived his hopes awhile;
And they who watched him, say that Ger
His fee there passed smile.
The last that Ger lit up his eye
For from the "keystone" then,
A warning voice broke on his car
And he smiled not again.
lie spOkc no more bu; straigh,way fell
Into another swoon;
So fearful were the bodng thoughts
That came 10 this old coon.
But raising up his long thin face,
He whispered faint and low,
Oh, bear me to my native land,
My native "O.h-i.o."
His lean and wasted carcass there
A moments quiet found;
But though he loved his native air,
They bore him from the ground.
At length Ohio's borders passed,
Meath Indiana's sky,
Under spreading hickory tree
They laid him down 10 die.
They bore him 10 the Empire State,
And round him raised their host,
But found that there was sealed his fate;
He then gave up the ghost.
Sadly around him closed his friends,
Nor gold nor art might save
And he WHO was SO mighty once
Now fills raccocn's grave.
Mourn for the coon--the Same oil coon
His triumphs all are Ger
Mourn for tho coon--';hGt same old coon,
We ne'er shall see him more!

THE RULING PASSION STRONG IN
DEATH.

We have been amused during the can,
vass in reading the lofty vaporng of the
wing press, and their contempluous sheer
ing at James X. Polk. The following is
a specimen Of the way in which they keep
it up, since the election. The Alexandra
Telegraph of the 9th inst. says:
"We think it very possible that Mr..
Polk may get fifty electoral votes. This,
We think, depends upon the possibility OF
his getting Virginia, the only big State he
can have any pretenslons to. We would
advise our good town folks TO have their
windows hoisted about the time the returns
get in, for the way the Wing baby.waker
will make smash among the glass will
be a cauion"-Alerandria (La) Tele-
graph, 9th inst.
But the following from them. O. Tro.
pic is inimitable. We have no doubt, it
will be three months before the editor
OF that man worshiPping sheet will fad
on, that GLORIOUS, gallant old Harry" is
not elected, We are pretty certain that if
those whom the Tropic is wont to call "the
chivalry," and who are the especial OBJ.
jccts of its envy and hale, ever heard of
the editor of the paper, they would now be
willing good,naturedly to laugh at, and p.
~ him. Ba. here is something rich:
"The question is settled, settled lust as
we have striven tie settle it and glorious,
gallant old Harry Clay this day stands be-
fore the American people where he should
have stood just twenty years ago! He is
his day President elect of the United
States, and neither the malice of his foes
Or the doubts Of his friends can alter itn'

An article wac published in The edito
rial columns of the last Creole which pro-
tessed to give statement Of facts in rela.
lion to barbecue at this place few DAYS
previous to the election. Its statement
we conceive 10 be in some particulars in
correct The Creole says the object of
its article was to do Justice to VIM. Yer
ger, Esq We have as little disposition
to DO injustice to any one, as we have to
magnify into an ephemeral importance in =
dividuals otherwise of no consequence -
but "Justice to" the democrats of this
county demands the following correction:
the morning of the 18th of November,
about the time the committee called on
Messrs. Walker and Gwin to conduct them
TO the stand. Judge Bailey waited on Mr..
Walker with note from W. Yerger, Esq.
Mr.. Walker, observing that no had no OBJ
lection to reply, handed the note 10 Col.
Fulton and Mr.. w. R. Hill, who told him
they (the democrats Of the county, had
something to say in the matter, that we
had previously been denied joint discus.
sion; that this was democratic barbecue
and the democrats under such circumstan-
ces could not consent that wing should
address tho meeting. Judge Bailey was
then present in the room. Mr.. Walker
then said he would reply to the gentleman,
and sat down to do so !; but the note was
not shown TO any democrat present, no
10 any one IN the county that we know of.
We have deemed it necessary to explain
this point, because the Creole observes
that ".Col. Fulton and Col. w. R. Hill
were present." intmalng that they knew
the contents of the note.
AS 10 the statement of the Creole that
Col. Garrett stated from the stand that in
" conse quence of the arrangements be-
tween Yerger and Walker, Mr.. Yerger
would not speak until after dinner, and af.
ter Or. Twin had spoken, and that Mr..
Yerger would then reply from the stand"
if it was made, it escaped the hearing of
all the democrats we have consulted, and
we have enquired of several who were
within hearing, among them the chairman
of the meeting, and the members of The
committee Of arrang ements, who say that
had any proposition been made TO occupy
n g stand before their proceedings were
ended, they would instantly have objected
0 it. IL was also understood in the morn
ng that it Dr.. GSin did not consume the
llance of the evening, that it should be
coupled by Mr.. F. Smith. 1t is further
