First performance of the original
Dolly Ways at CayOteyiile.

First performance Of the original
Dolly Ways at CayOteyiile.
This long expected company of itinerant
patriots gave the first exposition of their
endurance in Drawing public opinion, and
capacity for fatigueing the patience oftheir
fellow-citiSens at Cayoteville, in front of
the Kiota Bakery on Thursday evening.
There being a sufficient number of the
"dear people" in attendance, the usher
presented Gen. Discensive Doneover to
their pious regards, as the great, bright, big
lettered star of the evening.
After few preliminary remarks Of
half hours (more or less) duration, the
General went on to say - He didn't
know whether the citizens of Cayoteville
knew anything about the Nebraska Bill.
but supposed they didn't neither did
he suppose they had ever heard
anything about it So he would state,
for their information, that it had created
quite an excitement in the East. As it had
done in the East, so it might at some future
period of time, (more or less distant) do in
the West. He would state what he wished
the Cayotevilleians to believe about it
He would make it all right (no cheers
followed this avowal of the gentleman to
sacrahce himself to the altar of the public
god but he forgot to say if he would do
it at his own expense
"How" he-how would the citi-
sens of Cayoteville like to have all their
sovereign rights wrested from them? 1t
was expressly for the purpose of preserv-
ing to them their rights, that the Nebraska
Bill was framed. The only way for them
to maintain their sovereign rights was by
placing implicit confidence in him-he
would set them all right-he had come
up expressly with that object in view
he had heard much of the miners-of their
innocence in regard to the affairs of the
nation-they were liable to be imposed
upon by the misrepresentation of dema-
gogues-it was to save them from these
demagogues that he had come up here
He hoped all the bearings of the Nebraska
Bill were made clear to them-he had no
hesitation in saying he espoused one side
OF it-he hoped they would do the same;
"Do that" and he would be elected, much
to their satisfaction, his own beneht-the
downfall of seceders, and the total discom-
future of the Swigs These beautiful SEN
timents were received without cheering
voice9 The next thing to be considered
va something about the construction o: IN
ternal railroads. The Swigs claimed that
as the basis of their platform, but 1t was
in reality one of the principal electloneer-
ing tactics of the Dolly Wags during the
administration of Adam 1t would be
we'll for them to know something about
the United States Bank, also Sub-Treasury
bill, which during the time Of Noah
was the all-absorbing !opic. This was an
additional proof, that his was the only and
true side for them upon which to manifest
their sovereign will by casting their votes
If they had any-if not, they could vote
anyhow. In fact be might say that was
the ticket (no cheers YETI He would give
them few other items of general infor-
nation: They had heard OF Great Guns
the member from Egypt; well he wouldn't
say anything about him just then. Gen.
McDoodle had been held up before tie
people by the seceders for the office
which he believed by right to belong to
him, (the speaker.) The seceders wished
to crush the regular, high-toned, right
minded, uncontamiaated, and-he might
remark1ths e, ,everglorious and unimpeach,
able Dolly W.
When we woke from our slumber-broueht
on by the first orators introductory re-
marks, the Hon. Bag O. Words. of Sam
Walkin had the pIatform-he was the
funny speaker of the evening; he opened
by saying he felt striped, (irst joke,)

he felt striped now On account Of the
split of the Dolly Ways. He feltit his duty
and the duty Of the Dolly Wagracy to re-
pair the breeches made in their own party,

he felt striped when there was the "same
