olutions. But to the subject F.: those pieces in the Spirit of the Times were good for wit and humor, if nothing else.
 F.. There. Sabinus, you are mistaken. As the Judge says, they are as flat as pan cake. and have not the semblance of wit or humor in them I have no doubt, myself, that you were hurt on the head, when child, and where the bump of wit and humor ought to be, there is sunk place.
 Sabinus. l can't feel it.
 F.. No you can't feel it; but all your friends can see it; and there is one bump on your head, that prevents your being sen- sible of the want of the other.
 Sabinus. Well F., what are my most prominent bumps'
 F.. am not Phrenologist; but ac- cording to what l know, you have some ex- cellent bumps.
 Sabinns What are they F., (F- com mences the examination F.. You have memory finely developed.
 Sa6inus. That's good and true, go on F..
 F.. You have locality, and the whole range of mechanical organs well developed, which enables you to write well, and to put your writing together like workman.
 !Sabinus That's good, go on F., l be- lieve you are better Phrenologist than my friend Powell
 F.. You have acquisitiveness and se- cretiveness we'll developed; and self import ance as big as goose egg. Sabnus jumps up.)
 iSabinus. That's lie F.! You are a fool, and that's not half your failing; and you shan't run for Governor, that's what !--- And I'll have a secret resolution passed in every Clay Club in the State, declaring what you have said to be false, and you shan't run for Congress either, for being such fool. that's more.
 F. ask thousand pardons, Sabinus You know told you that was no Phrenol- ogist; and you ought not to take offence al what said
 Sa6imus. find out that you know noth- ing at all about it; and never do you exa- mine another mans head, as long as you live
 F.. fnever wilt 1f--444no are you going to run for Governor Sabinus You were te tell me in this conversation about the future destiny of the State.
 OUOtUUS. Ou WCiC O1lC Ol tiiC lllCl oPo- ken of; but your conversation, tonight shews that you are willing to abandon me and my assignment too, if you can but set up for yourself, and, on that account, you can't know the whole secret tonight
 F.. Well, Sabinus, tell me part.
 Subinus We are to have a convention and the first thing to be done, when we get to the Rock, is to revive the Clay Club.--- This will answer for our secret purposes Y ou are then to introduce resolution that fifty, or as many as can conveniently attend. come from each county as delegates.
 F.. Will not one or two from each county do as well an so many
 Sabinus. We have but few real whigs and we must make as big show out of them as possible.
 F.. How is such an immense crowd as your plan would make, to be provided for these hard times The money is not in the country to defray their expenses.
 Sat nus. It is not to cost the delegates any thing we will, at this Clay Club, ap- point committee of arrangements.
 F.. Well, what will the committee ol arrangements do, without the means
 Sabinus. They can very soon have the means. Do you know how V
 F.. That will not do for some of these old whigs, who have no more sense than to think that we are the same party of whigs that were in the days of the Revolution, They are honest, and would kick up at such a thing.
 Sa6inus After our committee is formed the plan Is, then, for every man to throw 1T what he thinks proper, to the support of the whig cause. There are plenty of men who are willing to pretend that they threw in hundreds, when they did not throw in one cent; and thus, you see, that even the com mittee themselves don't know where the mo- ney comes from, that makes my convention
 F.. Well, who is to be Governor?
 Sabt,us. Y ou can't know that tonight have had cause to doubt your fidelity; and you can't be trusted with that matter. We will have conversation, after we have had a Clay Club meeting till when, you can know all will give you hint, ........ tht great Clerk, with that large salary, has { hankering that way. And you snay further know that both of the men are to be in ia vor of the assignment, and of paying the in terest on the bonds, without collecting tho debts due the banks
 F.. We'll, that will be popular with the bank debtors of both parties but l can't set how 1t is to be done. It is off the subject Sabinus, but was told to ask you if yor were akin to that man who left Columbia Tennessee, between sunset and sunrise
 Sa6imus. F,you are always playing of the subject. If you have not sense enough to talk about matters for your own interest and your own State, Pll talk with you nc more. Good night.
 F.. Good night, Sabinus.
 F.. musing, to himself We'll, tht Governor must be in favor of the assignment l could come out for that with as good ar excuse as D-- can; and he is to go to Con- gress. Pay the interest on the bonds with out collecting the Bank debts! That's a mystery; but may do for humbuggery--- It may be so however. This world, and one more just like it,. would be enough to satisfy an honest man. Planning is a &.l.. | I
