les took his hat and marched out. THerc was
spunk that Young America ought TO be proud
of. That Mr. BUCHANAN didn't take his hot
and march out too oHy shows that he's an
! old fogy.
We've held our Cosgfes,, and got things
in middng good train, though, as said
before, we haint brought matters quite TO
head yet. We managed better than your
Congress does. We didn't stop to nal SO
many long winded speeches, but talked right
to the pint, aud got through in n few days.
The members chose me President Of the
, Congress the first thing; for they said that |
was nearest akin 20 GiBeral Jackson Of any
of 'en, and the honor belonged to me; so |
had TO take the cheer. | returned thanks
for the honor OF course, and then proceeded
TO business. beginned by calliD for the
reports Of the committees that had the bus-
ness in hand nfore we met.
called :or the report on England first
out Of respect to her being our venerable old
mother. Mr. bickes, who was the head of
that committee, reported that John Bull was
an obstinate old fogy, and had found it vary
hard to make any impression upon him. The
pc ople all seemed to be tied to the Queens
apron strings, and didn't appear to care no
more about Democracy than horse does
about his grandfather. Still he had faith to
believe that they could be made to take it,
and when the time comes he was ready t.
off coat and roll up his sleeves and whip it in
to 'cn. (Checrs.)
/ Upon the question of acceptirg q Mr.. Skle's
report Mr.. Buchanan rose and said he ob.
jecl ed to the term old fogy; he never dii like
| the term, and he thought it would do more
hurt than good in the report, and he moved
that tit be struck out. Mr.. Sanders said no.
that was the cream of the report, an he ob-
ice ted 10 its being struck cut. Ii w,% th.n
put to vote, and Mr. Buchanan and N. NJ
to keepit in; so old fogy stands in the Itpor;
by u strong majority.
then called for tae report on France.
! Mr.. Sanders made a long report; but the
substance was that the Democratic crop in
Frame wasn't quite ripe enough to harvest.
Napoleon had filled the peoples heads so
full Of the Eastern war AZ d glory that they
| coudn': think of nothin' else. But said Mr..
Sanders, "tbere's good time comin,' bays;
wait little longer" (Cheers.)
Mr. Sanders. report was unanimously ac-
cepted, with proviso that, while we had
to wait little longer, We shouldn't stop
workin, but keep stirren' round, and tryin'
to get up u mlsj somehow as soon as posi-.
! Bile.
then caled,fsr the report on Spain.
Mr. Souley rose, wi tn fire in his eye, and
honey and thunder on Ills tongue. He re-
ported that if there was any such thing as
getting sunbeams out =: a. cowcumber, lie
could do it; and he had come pasky near kim
din the fame Of Democracy from one end Of
Spain to t,o,her. He mad churncd the cream
of Spanish Democracy, c9urned it we'll, and
the butter began to come aud swim on the
top of the buttermiik, and he thought for a
while the bsness was done; but he looked
| into the churn again, to his amazemcnt the
wtchcrait Of despotism had got the upper
! hand, and the butter was all meltin' back
again into the buttermlk. But says he, as
true as jackson fogged the British at N.
Orleans, iii have red hot horseshoe be.
fore long to put into that churn, and thea
the butter MUST come. (Cheers)
30 y.u see Gineral, how things is over
here. We can't do much jest yet, but you
may depend on it there il great times ahead
Yon and Mr.. Marcy, and the rest, must hold
on and try to keep things snug ana tight at
home till we get our Government under way
over here, and we'll cut out some work for
you TO do before long; and them matters aud
yRlngs that we don't send over any particular
directions about, you and the cabinet must
try to get along with and manage accordin'
to your best discretion. But you better be
gettin' your forces ready as fast as possible,
for we may call for 'em at any moment. You
better enlist the old Downingville company,
and get cousin SI geant Joel to take COM
mund OF it. Get Mr.. Marcy to plan out the
right ssrt of uniform, and get my friend Cush-
ing to address 'em and ill 'eW full Of grit
and ginger, SO they can't be held back, but
will be ready at moments warning to
"march and carry Democracy all over Eu-
rup, and Asha, aud AGraky, and Am"raky.
PosrscRIP Il don't know but the muss
is begun, and we may have to send over by
the next steamer for Sergeant Joel and his
company to come oa. The French Elm 2eror
has got frightened or mad about matters,
don't know which, and has snubbed Mr..
Souley, and forbid his settin' foot on his
land He turned him right out OF doors of
Frar ce, aud told him to go about his busi-
ness somowlIete else. This was wis Mr..
Souley was on his way home to Spain from
our Congress which we held at Odstend; for
we was very careful not to hold i in France,
nor Spain, nor England, SO as not to stir up
muss with the government before it was
time. But Napoleon has been foolish enough
to put his foot in it, and now We have all
agreed that he has got to knock under and
back out, or smell thunder.
In haste, and some agitation, remain
your old friend, and Minster-Ginerat at large.
