Hon. E. w. FARLEY, the individual who
wished, and made proposition in 1853,
for fusion between Hunker wings and hun
ker locos, on the basis OF electins John w.
Dana to the United States Senate, and Mr..
Crosby, Governor, and who the same year
used his u,mos, exeriious 10 defeat, w. p.
Fessenden, addressed the Boohoos" Of
the Biddeford Association, las,lWednesday
evening. Other engagements prevented
US from being present, but our Reporter
says tina, Boohoo" talking was as usual
in the ascendan, only" more So" Wilder
was always grea, on the BoOhOo question.
He has saved the union down in New Cas-.
tie every month in the year, and always
had plenty of " old cOgniac" 10 help him.
We know "Wildcr" out and out. Rum
and slavery were always the Gods he wor.
shipped when he made show Of belonging
to the wing party, we mean when he OBJ
aimed wing nominations for office and then
called on John Babson & Co., Of Gun House
memory, and other Hunker Democrats, TO
put him through. Las, year he was sort
Of candidate for Congress, and the people

power TO repeal the Maine Law, and he
stands abou, as good chance Of being
elected as did Jack the Clan, Killer of get.

man did Of drawing prize in Smalls cali
CO lottery. Speaker Sewall in 1883, used
10 give very vivid description Of the differ
ence between bunker whig and bunker
loco. The latter he said was very quiet
and yelvety, sor, Of an animal with sleek,
fair and swee, coun,enance, whose footsteps
when he was travelling were never heard,
while the former, was a,rough, hairy sort Of
creature, whose hair about his head stood

cracking. This was abou, the time Wilder
made his appearance a, the State House
regularly when the Senatorial question was

perceived. We understand that Wilder said
he did no, renounce any Of his whig prin-
ciplcs, and we think he does not as he has
understood them. His ilea OF whiggery
was always fusions with bunker democrats
for office, and 10 sustain rum and slavery.
In speaking for the two now, he is follow

Samuel j. Anderson, also addressed the
association, and Wen, il strong. He is 60

not leave one stone upon another Of that

He paid his respects 10 US, so we are told,
and we dou't find any difficulty in standing

parties.
The hall was decenlly filed, and, as US.

expressed his satisfaction tina, there were no
ladies present, He probably understood the
character Of the speaking that the audience
might expect.
