ng the fusion oaldron, placed in the old
vhig furnace Of our county, preparatory to the
Of a new code Of political prlncl-
Pies, to govern the monster just about 10
ushered into existence. About fifty wor-
.hies (all told) Of every creed, color' klndred'
and kind were present, 10 witness COUNSEL
aud aid, in the lawfully solemn and por'en,
lious ceremeny." After a considerable time
spent in adjusting, balancing and daubing the
c~revices with a little Free Soil, the announce
ment was made that the caldron was ready
for the reception Of The articles 10 be iuseu'
The first simple Of the compound was a Reso'u'
ton, inslructing our CongTessmen to'use their
inf uence- in e~osrcing our National Legislature
to violate the Constitution Of the United States
by usu.ping the power Of legislating slavery IN
or out of oul territories, as they see proper,
and also TO use their votes and influence
against the admission of any more States INTO
the Union with Slavery in their Constitutions
compelling them to assume the Ter oil

ern and Western frontiers, acting to some ex-
tent as vignettes, giving US (ihe abused North
timely notice Of the approach Of the Ignorant
and bloody furriners, and the cotton pickers
and niggers Of the South, and eventually choke
the Union 10 death. This article was prepared
by a certain gentleman, smarting yet from The
sings Of defeat in the last election FOR PIosecu-
ting Attorney in our county, and was supPos-
ed to contain the views Of The whole motley
crew of fusionis,S Scatteredthrough the entire
North. After q wutery effort on the port o!
the proposer, in portraying the qualities oil his
dictalorial resolution, and a few heavy signs,
at his present unenviable position he hydrdul-
icked-backwards. The next thing proposed
was a little ass id, in The shape OF opposition
to the above resolution, produced by our rest
less Horticultural friend, G. W. Cans, Esq.
After FEW moments o f'noisy opposition and
general simplicity, the noble but noisy Orator
"run into a conclusion" upset. and lost a
grain of commeh sense (twas all he had) told
the meeting that ''perhaps it was best to let
the resolution stand as it was, for considering
the source it could do no HARM" and then
fzzled! George, we would by all means ad-
wise you to follow Frsnklin'S rule, "when you
have nothing 10 say, say nothing"
Then followed a general tumult, in which
could not fairly gather all that passed. But
presently amid loud vociferntion and angry
gestures and ,%grimmaces, in the continued but
sullen roar Of which | thought | could cislin-

alton to this "war Of elements aud wrecks OF

Gen. Marsh, the President Of this fusion meet
ing, arose in his place 10 address the audience.
Greece and Rome! Bonaparte and Tom
Thumb The General descan.ed at large as
10 The probable whereabouts of the old Wing
party. Moi being able 10 satisfy himself upon
this point, he undertook 10 define his present
position in politics and show that he was
somebody yet. The more he argued, although
in tones OF loudest thunder, the more he be-
came convinced that lie was certainly lost, was
not himSelf-m must be somebody else. Al this
neriod ] could scarce refrain from telling the
Gen. that be must be Rip Van Wrinkle. A,
'ength an old foreign Abolirionist from Wesl
Elkton suggested TO The Gen. that perhaps he
was one of the old liberty men, at which the
Gen. became indignant, and with stentoriaf
voice retorted No! echo from the street an
swered No ! Being Thus chafed on ever,
side, he concentrated all his powers and made
one grand fundamental explosion, and call wa!

anecdoie, on the subject OF slavery, by Johr
W. Harrison, OF West Elkton. This Was
decided failure. We really felt sorry for tht
poor fellow, he had conceived sympathy bu
could not give il birth-it was no go-ht
should have recollecied that he twas no Or
ator'' as SOM of 'emfwas. We hope he ma,
be more successful the next time.
So ended the filling OF the fusion Caldron
what its result will be the trembling womb o
time refuses yet to reveal. 1t is to be hoped
that every friend of four National Liberiie viii
shun this wicked and poisonous combination
as he would the blast from the deodly Upas.-
Can the men Of libelal principles, devoted &c
the cause Of our Union, sit calmly. still whilst
bloody treason fourisbes over us.-Can the,
sit with folded arms, whilst the immortal
principles for which our fathers paid theiI
Ehearts blood are trampled and subveried by
The clippings end ends, the rsg-tog and bob
tail Of every defunct political organization.-
We trust not, let us go forward then 10 the
polls this fall, as one common brotherhood and
rout these counterfeit Republicans, horse fool
and dragon. You will hear from me sgsin.
