I'VE think the ticket is the choice Of the

which stands attested By signs Of the most
terrible and stormy indignation that We have
witnessed at any former period Of our life.
We went into the other convention IN good

A Thrilling Scene.
by CHARLES RAND.

The following narrative-a true one
describes scene that actually took place
not many years since, in country town
in the State of Maine.
One evening in the month of December,
eishtcen-hundred and thirty flour, a num-
Der Of townsmen had assembled at the store
Of a Mr.. Thomas Putnam, to talk over
matters and things s"-smoke-drink-
and in short do anything to "kill time. "
Three hours had thus passed away
They had laughed, and talked, and drank,
and chatted, and had good time, gener.
ally; so that about the usual hour of shut.
ting up shop, each Of the party felt partic
ularly first rate. 49,
"Come," said Charles Hatch-one Of
the company" let's all liquor, and then
have game of high-low-Jack."
"So say" exclaimed another-"who'
got the cards ?"
Fetch on your koerds," drawled out a
third, his eyes half closed, through the ef
fects Of the liquor he had drank.
After drinking all round, an old pine
table was drawn up before the fire place
where burned brightly large fire of hem
lock logs which would snap and crackle-
throwing large live Goals out upon the
hearth.
All drew up around the table, seating
themselves on whatever came handiest.-
Four of them had rolled up to the table
some kegs which from their weight, were
supposed to contain nails.
"Now," said Hatch, chow shall VI
play-every one for himself?"
"No-have partners" growled on'
man.
az say, every one for himself" exclaim
ed another.
"No, hang'd if I'll play sc" shoute'
the former, bringing his fist down upol
the table, knocking one candle out of tn
stick, and another upon the floor.
"Come, come" said Hatch, emo quar-
relling-a!l who say for having partners
stand up"
Three arose.
"Now all who say, each for himself
stand up"
The remaining four Immediately got ul
"You see, Barclay" said Hatch, "th
majority are against you. Come, will 70
play"
! "Wsll, as I don't want to b on u
