THE STUMPERs.
The Locofoco leaders here have determined
TO stump the County. Accordingly all hands
have set TO work at the bellows, and the way
they make ,ciad is caution to ali outsiders.
The performance commenced at the Mount
Joy School House on Saturday night, q descrip-

people of that region on the principles of de-
mocracy, by repeating the stale assertion that
one of the whig speakers on Court Week, pro-
nounced sspopular Sovereignty ssmagnifi-
cent humbug." As Robert has been assisting
the Corporal in islaborious search after the
'sKnow-N othings,' We must make due allow
ance for the elasticity of his Imagination, TO
the exubercnce Of which, we must credit the
assertion. Master Robert is a young gentle
man in whom we feel great interest. and we
are sorry to see him waste the time he should
be devoting to Blackstone in debating to his
elders how they should vote at the comnling

This prccocious youth was followed by the
renow ned 'Corporal,' whose tciad apparatus

Hon. G. r. Barret. who. in his usual style,
ripped away at the .sknow-N y 9th iugs,'' until
some Of his hearers feared that there would be

pump during Court week, and in all probabil-
ity, as was suggested by one of his Democratic
hearers, he would answer equally as we'll for a
'sgasometer-'' They might use him in lieu of
gas-worlSs, when they get the Railroad. With
the Judges speech the 'lizzle' ended at Mount

On Monday evening another bust up was
had at Centre School House, There were some
thirty or forty persons present, about two
thirds Of whom were Wings aud Natives

Thes'Corporal'' then attempted to.eblow out, -
but his comicalities took the audience by storm,
and the loud noise from his wind apparatus.
was entirely drowned in the cries, Kisses and
yells of the crowd. The audience had already
heard a history of the adventures of this sec
ond Don Quixottc De La Maneha, and of his
Squire Robert, through the alleys, lanes, and
''sof places" in search of the ''know-N 9TH |
ings," and their uprorious reception so dis
comfited the Corporal that he 'sbacked wa
ter" and retreated. The meeting adjourned, !
and Native meeting announced for the
next evening, at the same place.
