old WORKOUT and discarded cant phrases Of
stump oraiory, again found new life and
yigor from the fire and destruction breath
lng-yoice of the renowned Captain.
AT last the astounding piece of infOrma-
| ton came out that the !" Faithful Democrat
&c Editor" wished to relounce aud "lhrcw
off" Andrew Jackson Morgan of "Ohier, -
and that latter gentleman having many
friends present, loud rnurmuring and much
talk ensued; The upshot of which was that
the meeting began to fade away like adds
solving view," leaving the renowned Cap
tain, the Knight of the Quill, and clown
Lots" in rather disagreeable predica-
ment.
The fact was that Andrew Jackson Morgan
was chosen by the inhabitants of the ''Brophy''
Settlement, 10 represent their interest aud that of
Little Canada, in the ensuing session for tie
House; but TO nominate him by the convention
was n matter yet in embryo, from the fact that
many candidates would be in the field, each with
their supporters.
Morgan's friends, supposng the "fahful Dem
ocratic editor" TO be throwing off, ON him.
and only Judging the same from the fact that
''Rob" and "Jack" had "split" in business ar
engagements heretofore, resolved to withdraw from
the meeting, much to the chagrin of the dema-
gogucs it was then the fun commenced; and
a bird s-eye view of the fallen countenances would
have been a fine prospect for artist to have
portrayed on canvass. Enroys extraordinary

gathering, the Lord deliver ''Nick'' from such a
crew; if that was organization, or "Morganiza-
ticn, - it fell far short of the tremendous terres-
trial revolution that by the prophecies last winter
the Winnebago Fur Company were going TO Gre
ale here in Minnesota.
| The whole sum of the matter was that the dis
persion of the crowd occurred without any serious
approximation to enthusiasm, fiat as pancake,
and disgrace upon any pretended political par
ty. 1t completely fizzled out, like wet Ere
cracker, leaving the whole plan disclosed TO the
admlring gaze OF the people, disconcering the
plans of the wire pullers, and raising tremen-
dous breeze in their own camp. Some, looking
more wise than poetcal, were unkind enough 10
insnuate that they believed the whole matter and
difference between 'Jack" and "Rob'' was but
a preconcerted plan 10 disguise their tactics; and
| by making show Of opposition one to the other,
that would reconcile and appcase third parties
from obtaining nominations. OF course, you can
not believe such uncharitable accusations
Chick feels 10Th to credit them himself.
! However, by the time the issue of the Pioneer
/ is made the whole clique ticket of the very re-

made, and leave the names thereon to the uds-

times with an eager eve, quietly is immured
