The BEST JOKE OF THE SEAsoN.--The Wash
ington "Union" of Sunday contained column
of comment on the Wing platform, which was
promptly transferred to the interesting pages Of
the Enquirer The two principal grounds of
exception taken were that the words g Compro-
n,ise'' and ''yfnap' were not employed in the
resolution relating to the late acts of Congress.
Their omission did not affect the sense at all but
it was the pleasure of the ''Union" to descry
some monstrous treason in the omission. Its own
platform, be it always remembered, studiously
avoided the word C final! ~
Well, it had given vent to its Indignation, when
the o6fctal report of the Wing platform appeared,
and was found to contain the identical words
" Compromise and :" "inal"-the absence Of
which the " Union" had so much depored! This
sOas fix. The central organ Of Tuesday con-
tains two columns of explanation and apology for
its blunder. The Enquirer is discreetly mum
being wiser in this than in Governor Joe's case
thinking it better to say nothing about what
could not be defended !-Richmond Wig.

Mr. Clay.

Yesterday afternoon and evening this gentle
man was very ill, and fears of his speedy disso-
luton were generally entertained; yet he became
easy in the night, and rested comparatively well,
and to-day appears somewhat refreshed.

A sad discrepancy

R5ys The Alexandria Spirit Of the Age says
that nine-tenths Of the Wings have never heard Of
William A. Graham. The other tenth, then, have
an excellent report to make of him. His name
is like sweet-smelling SAVIOR in the esteem of
all good men, and we hope the Age may learn it
well, and learn to emulate the virtues and unaf-
fected modesty of him who wears it

On Monday night last, in the midst of the null

made General ScoTT, was poor, gawky-looking
guy of red republican, who did not seem "na-
tive here and to the manner born" Addressing
q juvenile whig near him in the line, he asked,
"who is Gineral Scott, any how" "Don't you
know ?" was the young ones question in response.
" Nots / knows on !" said he. "Well, do you
know what tune the band is playing" O. Think
I've hearn it afore, but not right sartin. What
you call it." Don't know that tune ?" said the
boy; then suppose you don't know who General
Scott is, sure enough; for General Scott and
Yankee Doodle go together throughout the whole
United States, and all the rest Of the annexable
crcaaion--lkcg do' But there he is look at

BE- We perceive that the Democratic papers
have much TO say about the New York Tribune s
opposition to the Wbig platform, but nothing
about the New York Posts opposition to the
Dem9cratc platform. The cases are perfectly
parallel, except that the Tribune has liCte more
gumPIion than the Post by jug-full. Neither
holds itself amenable to its party; and the party
Of neithey should be held accountable for it. We
would soon undertake to 5traighten the kinks
IN pigs tail or little nigger's wool as to
smooth the ripplos aud corrugations in Horace
Greeley's Uranium. He has a paper of his own,
and does what he pleases with it, making for
tune among other things Our only concern is
to keep him from the spiritual rappers, and make
/ him work on our side when we can. If the Demo
Gratis don't want the Post Wen take il too, after
q reasonable probation.

dote He says that worthy Democrat from the
Old Dominion yesterday called upon Gen. Scott,
and was kindly received, as is every visiter who
approaches him. :" would have called upon
you with pleasure" said the guest, "on my own
account, but, as it is come with message from
my father, lie was with you at Chippewa and
when he fell, severely wounded, you stopped the
flow of blood from his wound with your own
hand, and ministered to his relief. He sends
you his thanks, and the assurance that, though a
Democrat, he aud all his Democratic sons will
sustain you on the day when your friends should
show themselves SUCH" General Scott remem-
bered well the incident and the man, to whom he
returned the kindest assurances Of his remem-
brance and esteem. In reciting this story in
Georgetown last night, our correspondent says

The ratification meeting on Thursday night
was majestic and mighty like the great ocean
itself 1t is described in the papers as the most
hearty overwhelming congregation of freemen
ever assembled in that city, The two halls in
Broadway House were wedged full by less than
quarter of the assemblage before the Scott clubs
from the several wards began to arrive in pro-
cession Grand street was full from Broadway
nearly to Crosby street, and Broadway itself soon
became so blocked up from Broome to Howard
streets that carriages could not pass and were
obliged to abandon the street. Grand street,
west of Broadway to Mercer street, was densely
packed. AS the ward clubs moved from time to
time with torches, banners and music, the speak
ing was interrupted by tempestuous cheering,
and every one seemed to feel that 1910 had come
round again The Tribune says: "We have had
one as large meeting, but no such assemblage of
all classes since the Tippecanoe times, and none
so large e0en then. As many as could hear the
speakers at the various stands stood and listened
or We're interrupted only by the irrepressible
cheering but there were thousands who could
not get within hearing distance and must needs
be content with exchanging congratulations over
the auspicious result at Baltimore and the moral
certainty of success which the nominations have
insured. What was spoken at any stand, or
what was resolved there, no fourth of the meet
ing could hear; but all were for Scott and Gra-
ham, and that sufficed for universal happiness
and concord"
The resolutions were of the most energetic,
patriotic, and conciliatory character, and were
carried by acclamaton. They reafirm the Bal
tlmore platform.
Speeches were delivered by the Hon. Ogden,
Hoffman, Senator Jones, of Tennessee and
Others.
