We take the following account Of most
amusing scene from the Washington cores
pendent of the Baltimore Patriot
IAN incident occurred to day in the House,
which proves how much the Locof0c0s are
annoyed at the enthusiasm with which the
Wings are about to enter upon the Presiden-
tial campaign. They can't bear to witness
the cheerful spirits and hiIarity displayed by
their opponents, and the singing Of a good
Clay song is death 10 them. A bill was IN.
der consideration making appropriations for
certain harbors and rivers, when Mr. Payne,
of Alabama, a LocofoCo, gave the House a sec
ond edition Of the political speech he made
one day last week. In the course of his re-
marks he said the Wing party did not intend
to carry the election by discussing important
principles, but by singing songs. lie endeay-
ored TO ridicule them on account Of the prac-
tice that was common among the party Of
singing these unmeaning songss( as lie called
them) on all occasions. In order to let the
House see what sort of means they relied up
on, to elect their candidate, he would get the
clerk to read one OF the M lie according
Iy sent to the clerks desk a copy of the Clay
Songster, and marked one of the most ANNA
ting songs in it 10 be read. l. was the one
headed 'Oul Candidate,' and sung to the hur-
rah tune. The clerk commenced reading.
when DR.. Duncan charged him to give it the
proper emphasis, and to observe the ~poeaica!
measure. The L0cofocos were all g9inning
with delight at the fun that was anticipated,
and were preparing to enjoy the modification
they had no doubt the Wings would display.
As the clerk went on, the sentiments of the
song and the recollection of the result of the
elections in Pennsylvania and Connecticut
put the Whigs in the best humor possible.
And WI en- he came to the last verse, which
begins Now boys, three cheers for Harry
Clay they became perfectly electrified, and
when the clerk repeated the chorus which
follows this line, and which runs thus "hur-
rah hurrah /! hUrrah! - they could contain
themselves no longer, and many ofthem JOIN
ed in most heartily, 'hurrah nurrah +! hur-
rah!!! Tap, tap, went the Speakers ham
ner, and order order was called out. The
clerk then finished The verse, the whole of
which is 10 these words!
SNOW, boys, three cheers for Harry Clay
Hurrah, hurrahi hurrab,
With him we're sure to win the day,
Hurrsh, hurrah3 hurraiij
Our President, if he's alive,
He's bound to be in forty,fve,
Hurrah, hurrah. hurrab. hurAh,
Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah =
SAT the conclusion of the song, the Wings
became still more excited, and they again
Joined in the chorus, and gave farther vent to
their feelings by c~lapping their hands. The
Speaker again called to order, ard the Loco
focos found they bad not only taken altogetb-
er the wrong tack, but had 'barked up the
wrong tree The modification was all on
their own side, and the fun aud merriment all
on the side of the Wings. The scene was
amusing beyond description."
