1t our readers shall laugh over the following
exquisite piece of fun and humor, as we have
done, they will have a treat indeed. The Buff
falo Convention august 9lh) is rapidly ap.
preaching; and as We have it from high authori
ty that Henry Clay, Martin Van Buren,, and
John z. Hale may be the competitors for the
nomination, the advice Of Peter Sken Bolts to
"Prince john in behalf Of "dad," may shed
some light on the probable result a, Buffalo.
We have just received, and will soon entertain
our readers with another letter Of P. s. Bolts TO
the same worthy:
