 THAr SAME OLD eooS FE4L.-Thefe were some amusing things that occurred at the ash pole raising on Saturday. The whigs not being able to raise the ash pole, democrats assisted them, with true christian charity, and they got it up.
 The representative ot coon was then run up to the pop but behold It feli 10 the eafA l ten or It- teen minutes h His Here is something omiaoas Is it at all strange that it feIl2 The is known to be sly, sneakins, qaafrellins animal, who four ishes amid low paupaW and persimmon trees3 and never can reach or maintain any thing like ele. Yated position. The ash pole, though not very high was too high for the coon, and Town hc come, We are truly sorry the whgs adopted the as their symbol, considering the nature of the animal. But as they know their principles best, it does not lie in our mouth to find fault with then or to say that the coon is not the very best representative of those principles that could be devised.
 There is one thing we can tell the whigs, that in November next :the father of all coons" at Ashland will fall to rise no more that lie will hear long and laundering shout of whole people comin from every quarter, of-PoLK and DALLAS, THE UNION and TEXAS.
 The political fate of the hero of four or five cam pagns, will be sealed forever; coonery will die . lingering death and this Union will be preserved from those fatal measures which would throw the country back into the midst of ancient federalism.
