TIE LATE WIG "POH. FOF."

One OF the actors the late farce at the African Church,
used an expression the meaning OF which we did mol men
which we have not been aoe uy
10 fa,hom neat trim young Lawyer had moved hat inc
Who's Of the city be urged hold meetings in The several
wards for purpose of making nominations Tor members
of the Council and for Aldermen upon TINS propoeo''
The orator in question spoke and said among other things,
ha he regarded these subordinate offices as moro impof
ian, Than The others That no individual unless he had
been actively engaged in canvass OF the city, could tell
how important ii the interest Of the Wing party TO
have Wings in these subordinate places it will not dc TO
Tell nil ~, Know continued the speaker bu suffice II TO
! say that We know Of what we speak.
All nj. was accompanied with sundy shrugs and winks
which lent il air of profound mystery The limitations
thrown out the dark and vague illusions given were sum
Glen, 10 excite the pofoundest curiosity all the hear
era Nov we should like 10 know whether liG display
was melc, juggling puntuume, in Keeping with the even
nps performance whether II did conceal monster Too
hideous exposed popular view II it shall be found
be either shall not he asonshed Tor "a Daniel was
come 10 Judgment
If the supposition be correct can be interpreted
10 mean but one thing The members Of The Council have
eomc little patronage in their hands ind The Aldermen, as
members the Hastings Court have the disposal OF many
which involve the interests OF their fellow Citizens
Now II The lodged in these persons be perverted
from proper Just natural course and be made 10 nu
ence the nf Citizens then may be important the
Wings OF Richmond have the exclusive control of these
several departments. Are we thus to understand Tie cub
,ect? Mus, conclude that the speaker was hnng al
this converting Democrats into Wings, and lGs
ing Wings fmIy the party carr II this conclusion be
correct We submit peopls of Richmond twhateyer
political principles they may possess whether they will
promote haerdnl violation Of the prophecies Of life, and
sanction such mavesann in office and such stem OF
injustice Ii ibis the meaning of The speaker aud
we would fain hone and believe that notthen was
piece OF o.nnuey certainly particularly creditable TO
its author Or rather II Stage trick 10 make the au
ence open e eyes and stare at the actor who was thus
puyng the fim,asc tricks OF the harlequin. His solemn
whisperings which people held their breath TO hear were
nothing but the empty nouthngs OF one who deemed II his
highest glory make the masses cape and STARE
Upon the subject OF the e meeting find in yesterdays
Wing the following nice t-bita, which, coming from two
leadins hg journals mus, regarded authoritative In
regard 10 ,- assumed decency Of the Wings OF the Me-
tropos:
The Whia meeting Friday night last, was very
large well harmonious one we except the annoFan
ces 10 which Messrs GuGdn and Hughes were subjected
when they attempted tn address the Chair on two occasions
Whatever opposition may have entertained 10 the course
pursued by these gentlemen did think the misses and
wells to which they subjected, were very improper
not Ssgincclul the Wings OF Richmond and now ear
nestly that similar scene may never again occur
Our Idea such things H. that e lar better to sten
10 the renal Ks of Objectionable speaker for moderate
length of .ne than TO create confusion and disorder y an
attempt 10 pu, him down with boots and Kisses, and
thereby destroy the very object for which the meeting Is
assembled But enough upon that Republican,
With our cotemporary agree ia reprohatng "hoots
and hsses but wc eel much more disposed 10 fepfooae
the necessity for them No or two men have right TO
thrust themselves upon public mectng occupy us tlmc
and Illustrate us objects II they have not sufficient delica,
cy 10 perceive that they no, wccome-and they YIN
moi take gentle hint, the meetings on the high principle OF
has the right 10 adopt any means f"r s
protection thousand twelve hundred men, assembled
for public duty ought not 10 permit themselves
10 be hwartcd by individuals either under the ni"

We nuke these remarks generally, and without special
reference meeting Friday night, at which we were
not present But il has become too much the practice ol
late for dsutdeiy PERSONS or unwecomc speakcfs 10
force themselves upon public meetings in Rcn0nd-to the
Illustration business and The annoyance OF decent Peo
