W Inc UCbI'Nos ii'id ~ h'cl'e ,oh-
veniion AZ Kingston last week; il was a
klnd Of grand Council Of war preparalo-
ry to the Spring election. II the wise
Sachems oi the State were present. and
many of them relieved themselves 81 a
bilious load which has no doubt been
oppressing them for some time past
ljut they had a lcaky member present,
who has fully posted Us up in regard TO
Il cir doings, which we do not care to
make public Il, his time. because we in
,end to avail ourselves OF the niorma-
ton Tor iAe use Of the Wing party. In
sone respects this meeting was quite
like good old-iashioncd Conie renee
meeting, which we used sometimes to
attend in our boyhood, where all the
brethren gave full accounts of the con-
dition of things in therimncdiaie neigh'
borhoods. At this meeting The breth-
rem all gave accounts (very fanciful and
amusing) Of the condition ol affairs in
the different towns and promising Won
derful things at the Spring election
Our friends Gov. Lawrence, of New
York memory, ard the variable and
facetious Milton mot the great poet and
author of Paradise Lost) but our Milton
Hall, Esq, took particular charge OF
Newport Gov. Lawrence, not having
resided in the State long enough yet,
and not being sufficiently of the bone and
sinew Democracy, particularly SO re-
Gently after the close Of the fashionable
and aristocratic summer season al New
port, with which he is always very much
engaged and deeply interested was
rather modest in his remarks, and not
very capacious in his pro misses as TO
what the unterrifrd would do in New
port. But our Milton exceeded any
thing that was ever heard OF. He went
Oft with the free and vivacity of forty
por-guns, fzzled, squizzled and whirl-
ed with astonishing alacriy. His elo-
quence was most alarming, and his man

u veritable student of Aristotle. Ml!ton
said that the Wings would stand no
more chance here next Spring than a
small band OF men would before The big
Paixhan gun which the Algcrines bought
IN AZ to shoot down the Dorrites. He
fired up the Democrats with heroic ar
dor, and his feelings were SO much in
,ercsted that he shed food of tears on
the occasion he wound up by asserting
that he had had always been Demo
crat and tha, lie and Henry Clay were
the only honest politicians in the coun-

Iy Father, would in mercy spare and
preserve the Democratic party. He
bcii, we'd that an overruling hand was
visible in the affairs oil this State, Tor
the election Of locoioco Senator had
been sccrrcd in what had been consid-
cred IA Wing Legislature, in consequence
of IA men suddenly becoming converted
10 the loco!oco party. T!is vas too
much, and Tie unlerIiied gave vent TO
their rcn.up feelings in three terrific
cheers. which so shook Kingston Hill
that The quiet residents thought il was
the shock of an earthquake. During this
exciting scene, our friend Gov Law
renee WAS unusually nervous.
The Ioco!ocos will probably publish
the pretended proceedings Of the meet
ing; but this viii only he done for effect.
The real talk and conclusions of the
SaclI"ms will hot be spread before the
public.
