All! my dear Holden, it is with feelings of or

cheer them with good tidngs-good things, only to
be appreciated by the hungry souls of Whiggery.

He excused himself.
Sion H. Rogers, the " future promise of Wing

men for their enthusiasm-which they, themselves,
can't help it!
| Mr.. L. commenced, by telling the Club, that he
was North Carolinian-that he was 4 son of old
John Lumsden-that he served his time to the print
ing business in the Office of the Raleigh Register,
where he got all the education he possesses-and
that was enough; he didn't wantany more-wouldn't
have any more, because he would be too smart with
more. " Well, never mind about that" He loved
old Carona-he loved her people-he read her pap
ers-he watched her political movements, and when
ever she right, it rejoiced his heart. "Well,'
he lived down in little State South, called Louisiana

He frequently enquired for Roundabout, and was as
often assured by the immortal of Whiggery, Ora

l have endeavored, MIR. Editor, to report the 'talk
of the Picayune man, correct-eaving out great
profanity occurred. Were give his speech, ver-
balm, you would have, in substance, than
above reported. So you see the great Bombshell of
Louisiana Whiggery has exploded in Raleigh, and
not man hurt For fear of being charged with do
ing the Orator injustice, l would remark, that much
satisfaction was manifested by the Club-that the
entire speech listened with profound attention
by the Rev. Peter Doub but, whether the Reverend
gentleman sanctioned every thing said must be al
lowed to doubt.
Henry w. Miller, Esq, being called on, made his
appearance. He could not pledge to his friend. from
Louisiana, this State for Scott and Graham-he was
not authorized to pledge the vote of Wings but, If
they would all vote, in '4s and 40, he could as

City! What had they heard What had they seen
Every gathering which he has attended, exhibited en- |
thusiasm for Whiggery-the Wing fires were burn

eyes OF the whole State were centered upon the Wings
of this City-from this place, it expected, the |
fires would be first kinded but he sorry to see
otherwise. He talked about the Public Lands, only
repetition of his stereotyped speech-he partic

MIR. Miller said that the man who first promulgated
the SANDER that Scott was had been defaulter to

his presence creates in these Wing meetings, much
exciement-delays business, and thus mourning to !
the Club unnecessary expense, in the consumption
of candles and time.
am sorry to see the old leaders of Whiggery-I
up whom, the little "spartan band have right
look for better things, giving uP doubling, exhib
ting unmstakable signs of despair. Mr.. Miller did
pledge North Carolina for Scott and Graham to the
Baltimore Convention, by 10000. Now, he says,
it will go thus, II, &c.
