HUMOROUS SCENE IN THE HOUSE
OF REPRESENTATIVES

UT ~
The correspondent of the Baltimore Patriot
states that an incident occurred in the House Of
Representatives on the 9th instant, which proves
how much the Loco Focos are annoyed at the en-.
thusiasm. with which the Wings are about to en-.
ter upon the Presidential campaign. A bill was
under consideration making appropriations for
certain Harbors, &c. when Mr. Payne of Alabama
commenced political speech. In the course OF
his remarks he said tie Wing party did not intend
TO carry the election by discussing important
principles, but by singing songs. He endeavored
to ridicule them, on account of the practice that
was common among the party. of singing these
unmeaning songs las he called them) on all coca.
sions. In order 10 lei the House see what sort OF
means they relied upon, to elect their candidate,
He accordingly sent 10 the Clerks desk copy OF
the Clay Songster, and marked one of the most
animating songs in il to be read. II was the one
headed "Our Candidate" and sung to the hurrah
tune. The Clerk commenced reading, when DR.
Duncan charged him to give it the proper empha.
sis, and TO observe the poetical measure. The Lo
cofocos were all grinning 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 election in Pennsylvania and Con
necticut, put tho Wings in the best humor

Within the last -four or iye weeks, We have sent a
large number OF bills To our delinquent subscribers /;
but as very weak pceuniary response only has been
given, respectfully direct The attention Of all who
have not yet paid, TO the importance, especially at
this time, OF ready compliance. In instances,
IL would cost more 10 send Agent 10 them, than
the sums which he might collect money, however,
in such cases, may usual be RENTED 10 Us through
Postmaster, by tho regulation of the Post Office
Department. And while upon this subject, we would
remind those who promised our Collector at aud to-
wards the North three four months ago, that the
amount OF their subscriptions should speedily be
mitted, that the time fixed by themselves has long
since expired Several gentlemen who are known to
have had money in their hands for than twelve

TO forward il without further delay. We tender our
