Tune( from New Hampshire) Never see
the old man again." The gentleman from
New Hampshire took Ills seat amid ap-
plause.
The resolutions were adopted, previous
to which Mr. Brent, Senator from Fauqui-
err Democrat had the temerity to
say that they were like new rinc.
Mr. Attorney General got up to say
that his legal opinion of the evening
before. preceded rather than followed
his political harangue-a fact which will
be news to those who were looking on.
Mr. Tucker of Jefferson was called up
again. He was particularly savage on
Mr. Fillmore. without having any materi-
al to be savage with. Mr. F. had attemp-
ted to hold out bribe to Texas in the
shape of Sl2,000,0O0 from the Freesoil
Congress. and with the other hand he
held a sword over her. For these rea-
sons, Mr. Tucher then. and there. and with
malice aforethought. condemned the ad.
ministration ofMr Fillmore. Unfortunate
Mr.. Fillmore. most cruel Mr. Tucker.
But hist: Mr. Tucker had shot his ar
row over the house and hit one Of those
who had dwelt with him in unity. The
form ofMr Fayeue McMullen. who be it
remembered is Congressman from Vir-
ginia, was seen to extend itself, head up
permost: anger was in his gaze; he peered
upon Mr. Tucker as did the sublime Mr.
Pott in Pickwick on his antagonist: he de-
sired an explanation; he desired Mr. Tuck
er 10 know that he-the aforesaid Mr. Nc
Mullen, had voted for the Texas BILL
Much confusion in the meetng-much
merriment in the galleries ; during which
Mr. Tucker again came forward. Mr.
Tucker said the bill had undergone ma
terial modification, when Mr. McMullen
voted for it.-(Exactly; very satisfactorily
Mr. McMullen gathered up his coat tail
and indignation took his seat with the qni-
escence of the Lieutenant after the Mid.
shipman's explanation.
Mr.. Wise. without any particular hint
and without any particular commence
ment, just went on with one Of his haran-
CUES. whose name is legion. He made
heavy requisition on his index rerum he
furnished up something about the spirit or
the sword outwearing the sheath for

caused to be published in the newspapers

the court of St. Cloud. He cavorted,
Jucked his head like Chinese mandarin,
alternated his voice like unto Randolph.

sent party: Cass was a sage, Buchanan
was sage. and Dickinson was a sage
What no word for the "li,tle giantl'')
His present party has heroes too: he cata-
logued them: gave stale and exaggerated
tales about the military career Of Butler,
Stockton and JEFF. Davis. which notwith-
standing the anti-epaule,ie sentiments,
brought down most ominous applause
from the party that are now so much a.
harmed at Winfield Scott He abused Mr.
Fillmore for not court martialng Gen. Ri
ly for having acted in the new territory
agreeably to the orders which Mr. Polk
had caused to be given him. and charged
him with having outraged State rights.
Very fair this. indeed. Speaking Of
State Rights reminds us of the question
that the gentleman from Accomac asked
Gov. Floyd the other day. He wished to
know whether he would have marched
with him (Mr. Wise) and the elder Floyd.
in 1882. against Gen. Jackson's army
which was to invade South Carolina. This
would seem to imply that Mr.. Wise was
a Nulli6er. We had been under the i'm
preston that he was Proclamationist,
and thought that it was on that identical
question that he defeated Mr.. Coke,a State
Rights man. for Congress in 1888.
The gentleman from Accomac said
there was some secret matters connected
with the sending of General Riley to Cali.
fornia; he, Mr.. Wise. knew all about it; he
was going to press this thing home in the
canvass.
We should like TO know when any body
ever heard Mr.. Henry A. Wise pretend
to speak on any given subject. that he
didn't boast of the possession Of some mn-
uritten history, never before vouched to
any body else, that he didn't shrug his
shoulders. and with portentous shake of
the head, say.
Il could il would!' There are some men who
DO wiiful stiffness entertain.

ceased his harangue. Elk Governor Floyd,
Mason. Mr.. ParkhiIl Of Henrico. Messrs.
Bedinger, Patton and others made
speeches. after which the Convention ad-
journed sine die If we have room, we
may give the concluding doings to mor.
