Wisconsin tribune. (Mineral Point, Wis.) 1847-1854, 1852-10-14

POllliCal Impefllnence.
The conduct of tie selfstyled Demo
cratic Party, with the Houora5le(0 Ben.
c. Eastman at their head on Saturday
evening last, was certainly very ungentle-
manly, TO say the Ieast The Scott Club
had their regular meeting on that even
ming, and was addressed by the Hon.
Chauucey Abbot, BY invitation After
Mr.. Abbot had concluded his remarks,
(which by the way were an honest, fair
and candid expression of his views upon
the political topics Of the day, without
descending TO any Of the low blackguard-
ism used by our oPponents) an attempt
was made to proceed with the exercises Of
the evening, when Ben c. Eastman was
called upon by his political friends, and
notwithstanding the Wings attempted to
60 on with their meeting. aud loud calls
were made for the G!ee Club, this Honor
aJle gentleman very deliberately stepped
forward, and occupied the stand for an
hour and hall, and finally wound up, as
usual. by accusing Gen. Scott of Native
Americanism, which he attempted to
prove from his Locofoco pamphlets, and
reading from tie forged letter to G. w.
Reed. We We're we'll satisfied with Ben's
speech, for we think it tended to help the
Wing cause; but if he does not know his
place better than 10 force himself unsoIic-
tied upon a Wing meeting, we think his
experience in Congress has not improved
his manners.
