FRIEND GREEN:-No Noticing your absence
from Fayette on yesterday, deem il due TO
you, as a chronicler Of the events of the
day--and courtesy to the unterrifed, once
SO powerful, but now, alas but the ghost
of departed greatness-to give you an ac-
count OF the meeting of the faithful in Fay
cite, on the first Monday in January, 1856.
The meeting had been called week after
week. The High Priest had met day after
day, i'll the Synagogue with the faithful, and
exhortation after exhortaton had been made
'to wandering sinners to return" and enter
again the fold that they had so shameGully
deserted. Every effort had been made
every nerve had been strained, but the re.
bellious host hearkened not to their counsel
The first Monday came, but the soyereigns
came not, and there was great trib,lation in
the camp of the faithful. Something must
be done, and as denier resort about 2 o.
clock, the High Priest and his faithful few,
entered the Court House, whereupon, ex-
Senator Judge Pussy made motion, that
the High Priest take the chair. Now be
it remembered, this motion was made in the
presence of the County Court, its Clerks,
&c.-about dozen of the faithful, (tnat is
to say, deserters from the X. N.'s,) three
or four old line Democrats, and about TWEEN
ty-fve native Americans, assembled TO wit
ness the show. No one objected, and the
High Priest took the char. On motion
of the same Judge Pussy, Mr.. Saltonstall
was chosen Secretary, and then the monop-
olizing Judge moved, to the great mortifaa-
ton of several fit subjects for the accoucher,
that this meeting adjourn TO the first Mon
day in February. Just here the big Gener.
;, al walked up to Pussy and whispered some
thing, whereupon Pussy withdrew his mo
ton for February, and made it for March
which was carried, and the meeting adj
jourred. The High Priest then arose and
pronounced his benedction upon the faith.
