Scott and Graham Clu6-Orator Gould speaks
after the reading of letter from Senator Bodg-
er-Col. James f. Taylor responds to repeated
calLs &C.
g The game,' am we'll aware, I" is not worth the
powders" but public journalist, your own taste
and appetite cannot always be consulted in preparing
a dish for your numerous patrons-the re1Os must
come: however disagreeable to Editors.
The Scott and Graham Club held another meeting
in the Court House in this City on Tuesday evening
last. AS usual, the Wing portion of citizens
not there. len boys and two men occupied the
Sou hern tier OF Jury boxes and twelve boys and four
men the Northern tier! While, here and there, like
a g dead cock in the ring" to be few of
the faithful, looking dispired and cast
down. The hour arrived. Solomon's band played
yes they played tune, the name of which did not
learn, but it sounded to me, like tune have heard
Of called, " .away with MeLancholy!" The Editor
OF the Register took his place, somewhere in the
vicinity of the spot allotted Superior Court Judges.
He announced a letter from Mr.. Badger, which he
read and which, in substance was that Gen. Scott
Wing, and Wings ought to be ashamed to doubt
the fact He spoke OF old Cherabusco with much
feeling, and done some of the taliest special pleading
in defence his, Scott's, Whiggery, l heard The
letter was read In clear and distinct voice-it
the hrst sentiment uttered in behalf of The cause by
- one of EN- for at least moons. He did not
ailude to Mr. Graham, until the close of the letter,
and then only by way of apoogizing for the omission.
1t was evident that that Sermon written re-
buke to doubling Whiggery. After the reading of the
letter, three cheers proposed, and mechanically
glven-not enthusiastically.
Calls were made for various persons-some of
whom Were not present, and those who were did
not think 1t advisable raise their voice in defence
of cause already sunk deep that the hand of res
surrectlon can never reach it, Finally MIR. Gould
was persuaded to talk. Gould listened with great
attention to Mr.. Badgers letter it furnished him
material aid - in framing sPeech-he lauded Scott
to the ceiling; he was better Sou thern than
Pierce, because born in Virginia. Forgetting, how
ever, mention that Scott resides in free State,
\ Scot
was good man, because in 4S in certain letter on
the Presidency, he expressed submission to the will
OF the people, which letter. the speaker had constantly
I" tOated in hi vest pocket since the campaign
opened (appIause.) He didn't care what Locofoco
reporters had to say, and if any present,
he hoped they would note d" this fact but didn't
know what fact'' he had reference unless il was
the dilemma into which that Club had accidentally
fallen. But, enough of Orator Gould's speech-wth
the remark that We only considered it another Whig
jug 6urSted.
Col. James F. Taylor Estate Librarian,) played
upon the name of Gen. Pierce in original Dictionary
style. lie said good deal about Gen. SCOTS phi
ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS phiIanthrophy, &C., calling
down thunders of applause.
The Spri! is fairly awake in this town. Foss, Sew
ard & Co. may well be proud of their candidate,
when Shareholders ashamed TO lisp his name.
Next meeting meets usua-in the Court House,
when and where expect to be.
