Mr.. ED1ToR-" To a man up tree - the prepra-
tons for the 6 club - meeting Thursday, all day
for the night service, presented some show of enhu-
siasm. That poplar pole labored under the weight of
the rope the Scott and Graham flag, and the noble
stars and stripes-even to bending over, which to
everybody resembled the position of the Wing party
at the present me only not enough for they have
been flat down ever since the August Election.
Well, the Club did meet, after or about candle
lighting time The President took his poor-sition.
and presided with unusual dignity The Court House
was pretty we'll ilIed-a large number being strang-
ers. drawn by the Music from Solomon's Band The
" clap masters took their places either side of
the Presidents, Secretary took his place-and the
F. Collins introduced to the Club, Mr.. Baxter, who
excused himself from speech in few brief re-
marks; after which repeated and loud calls were
made for certain distinguished Wing orators who
sometimes " dare make Wing speech, - but they
didn't respond. Calls were made upon other gentle
men, all of whom didn't speak-Mr. Ransom among
that number. Music.
Mr. s. Rogers, in answer to calls, did speak-but
he evidently not in the humor, his talk short.
He said he would not revive the charges of Adolf
tonlsm against Gen. Pierce. they understood
and stale. He told over and over again, of war,
blood and glory! Ever since which time, l have
been feeling Unconscious of the fac) for my glory
and epau- prnciPles, on the tops of my shoulders.
Mr.. Hyman, after long and repeated calls, made
his appearance. He told the Club that he attended
the HilIsboro' Barbecue, Wing Scott and Graham
Mass Meeting-that it a brilliant and enthusiast
tic affair-Mr. Mangums clarion C) voice was heard
there-Gov. Graham made his appearance and
knowledged the compliment of Barbecue, but didn't
speak. He, Mr.. H., said the enthusiasm being got
ten up for Scott and Graham immense, Hope
he did say from the signs in this City Y He
said the fact of Gen. Scott's being born South,
sufficient to convince every man that he was sound
on the slavery question; whereas, Mr. Pierce
born in Yankee1and and must have Yankee notions
Tor to that effect.l Mr.. H. forgot to tell the Club
that Gen. SCOTS home had been changed from the
South to the North-proving beyond doubt that he
loved Northern institutions better than Southern.
No other speeches made. Now, it remains
for some body to tell, who on this OCCASION killed
the venerable fedbreast. Did Mr.. r. or Mr.. H., or
will Mr.. Gales in his next issue, msrepresent the
whole affair, and call the meeting OF great
thusiasm
Excuse for a word TO the Register. Rounda-
bout has heart and he believes it is in the right
place; and, but for fear of hurting somebody's
feelings, he would pronounce the Registers article
against R. the contemplate conceived and
uttered by vanquished foe. But Seaton is young
to lead the great Wing party-he is blinded by pre-
judce, and when the blind lead the blind they both
fall into the ditch.'' They in the ditch ofdespar
and night is closing them. ROUNDABOUT.
