DEAR BUGLE -
II. w. CURTIS.

DEAR BUeLE -
In compliance with a recommendation from
some of the most prominent Wings in Geau-
ga County, The people of Parkman, assisted
by some from neighboring towns, held a kind
of glorifcation DISQUALIFICATION meeting
Yesterday; which, with the aid of The usual
quantity Of gunpowder, /" went off" in toler-
able fair style. Esq. Riddle of Chardon,
gave them a speech, which, had it emanated
from S. S. Foster, would have been received
as an ultra-abolition speech, calculated to les
sen the reverence of the "dear people" for
/" our glorious Union - but under existing
circumstances, it was received as "just the
right sort of talk" He seemed TO think that
General Taylor is a real gentleman, as we'll
as a great General; but unlike the "~availa-
bility" Wings, not willing to risk being "Ty-
ler-too'd by a no-party man. Some Resolu-
tons were passed which sounded very we'll
to those who are uninitiated into the mystic
ries of political games; but if we are to Judge
the future by the past, they will amount to
Notwithstanding to the Irishman's defni-
ton of the WORLDLY next November.
Acouple of Liberty party men, Esq. Brown
and Deacon Smith of Bloomfield, submitted
a Resolution, which was not passed, to the
effect that they should pledge themselves not
to vote for any man for State or County off
GERS, who would vote for General Taylor for
President. This movement created consider
able confusion in the camp, and gave rise to
some curious speculations concerning Gene
raj Ford's presidential preferences. Some
commended that he ought to commit himself,
and let his friends know exactly where he
stands; while the more sagacious but less
conscientious Wings, were opposed to his
committing himself, because such a course
would kill him in the South part of The State.
1t certainly sounded very queer to hear men
boldly contending that a portion of a party
ought to be deceived in regard to the politi-
cal views Of their candidate for Governor, in
order to secure his election. Judge Converse
endeavored to convince the meeting that Gen.
eral Ford is not. "a Taylor mamie kno,Cs he
is not, having had the assurance from his OWL
lips that he tUiH not vote for him. Well, il
General Ford says so, he will probably dc
as he says, and wish | could pay as high
compliment to the rest of the prominenr
Wings in Geauga County. The rank anC
file of the party seem to be in advance of theiI
) leaders are rather disposed TO repudiate the
t doctrine of availability" as well as of ex
pediency. Now, it must not be known il
! the Southern part of the State, that Genera
| Ford is not a Taylor man because it vii
: ruin his availability; and consequently secure
( the election of Col. Weller. But as this il
! a confidential communication to the readers
of the 'Bugle'-and nobody eIse-the Whigi
will not be apt to find out that | have reveal
) ed any of their party secrets.
The nomination of General Taylor as tn
Wing candidate for President, has placed
8 portion of the Northern wing of the party il
a predicanent analogous to that of a certail
stork, which is said to have existed befor,
8 the days of Luther and Calvin.
