A Rich JOKE AND A Coon SlGN-Decidedly
the richest joke, as we'll as one of the best signs
OF the season thus far, was that which transplr-
ed ut Maquoketa on last Saturday The pro-
slavery leaders in that region had appointed
Maquoketa as the place, and Saturday as the
timr, for holding grand Buchanan rally and
ratification meeting. A committee appointed
for the purpose came to this city, and made ar
engagements for the attendance of the Inlepend-
ent Brass Band, making an advance payment Of
$780, for its services. The hour arrived A
very respectable assemblage had gathered to-
gether. The orators were all ready and the re
solutions all prepared. The band played an
overture, and had completed another tune,
when,-some one il the crowd proposed "Three
cheers Tor Fremont" They were given with
heartiness and emphasis that lett no doubt as to
the sentiments of the meeting. g5
There was Il dilemma. Evidently, this was
not the kind of entertainments for which the
appetites of the Buchanier leaders had been
whetted, and for which they had been at such
pains to provide muse, and banners and resou-
tons. Clearly, there was not in that crowd of
Freemen and Fremonters, the material out of
which TO manufacture pro-savcry meeting.
The leaders were struck damb;-

More Knew. Nothing papnei.y.

We publishtin another column to-day,
the proceedings Of the I. Wing Meeting"
heldsin this place on the evening of the
LIST inst, without even having the usual
courtesy extended to us Of request to
publish them. We think particularly hard
of this omission On the part of that meets
ing, because the editor of the Age pre-
tends to print a paper Of afleast not more
Z" Wing" afinities than the Register.
The readers Of the Register will benot
less amused than surprised at seeing the
nsmes of the different gentlemen who fig
ured in that Wing meeting. The president
and secretary are among those who, by
being delegates to Philadelphia. solemnly
resolved that the Wing party had become
extinct; and the resolutions were offered
by the Know~Nothing elector for this
Senatorial district. Verify. it would seem
that the Wing" party has become inn
potent for good or evil, when it permits
its distroyers the free use of its NAME
The delegates appointed by this meeting
to the Wing National Convention, .
compromise another strange combination.
The Grst, we are informed upon reliable
authority, has declared probability OF
his voting for Buckhannon, the second is
a Know-Notbing elector, while the person
that offered the resolution that the presi>
dent be added to the list, was one of Mr..
Flournoy's stumpers in this county. In
fact. the whole meeting was gotten up
and controlled by Know>Nothings, and il
we are not msinformed, was addressed by
Hon. J. s. Garlic, the pseudo Democratic
Know Nothing member of Congress from
! This district.
We make this simple statement of facts
III connection with this meeting, that the
public may be informed of the duplcity
practised by our political opponents. We
have read story of an ass assuming g
dead lions skin and betraying himself by
his braying. In this case the ears are toe
prominent to render the braying neces
sary.
Of course. the e Wing National Con
vention" to which these delegates arc ap
pointed, will recommend Mr.. Fillmore foI
President.

Fusion of the Friends of Fillmore
and Fremont,

If anything was necessary to establish
the unity of interest between The friends
of Fillmore and Fremont, recent develop
ments have completed it. There now ap.
pears to be perfect understanding be-
tween the two parties in Pennsylvania
They have mutually agreed upon a single
State ticket, and are running in unison the
same candidate for Congress and other
offices. For President it is proposed that
both parties vote for the same electors,
each party heading its district with the
name Of " American Ticket" or I" Repub-
lican Ticket" with tie understanding that
the electors vote for the man whose party
polls the most votes. II is said that the
same game is to be practised in other
States.
The object Of this combination is to
concentrate all the different factions Of the
opposition, against Mr.. Buchanan. What
success will reward these efforts, time
alone will show. Our observation has
taught US that political party which finds
itself driven to such desperate shifts, is
in the stages of sickly existence, with
out sufficient vitality to overcome the eff
feet of the disorder which is Fastening it
to premature dissolution, and we have
no cause to think this will be an exception
to the general rule.
But be this as It may. this coalition of
the friends of Fillmore and Fremont,
shows not only unity Of interest between
the Americans and Republicans against
the Democrats. but that Fillmore is by
far more acceptable man for President,
to the abolitionists Of the North, than Mr..
Buchanan, and consequently he should
be less acceptable to all conservative and
constitutional men. If Nr. Fillmore en-
tertains such opinions as to make him ac-
ceptable to the Republicans, what man
opposed to abolition fanaticism can sup
port him
