Our reporting spirit has detailed to US a
full account of the thigh time" the Jackson
Democratic Association had on Monday night,
over the question of the election of q commit
tee to join committees Of other Democratic
clubs in Washington in arranging for grand
metropolitan celebration Of their recent VIC
tory. Accusations of personal disappointment
were launched at the heads of those who OBJ
jscted to the order of things determined on
by the Associations authorities, who, in turn,
caught thunder and lightning from the other
side. One word brought on another; until,
Immediately after they adjourned, there ~as
the beginning of pretty general fight o"
(not over the platform. Champions OF the
rival interests rushed at each other Win IN
tense emphasis, after little endearing con-
vsrsation lin rather a loud tone and coat tails
and hats, if not hair, are supposed TO nave
suffered some The more moderate, however,
interfered in time to prevent finale of black
ened eyes and bloody noses.
If" the Harmonious of our city commence
in this way to celebrate their victory, we fear
that like the Kilkenny cats, by the time the
period for the cor tempIated grand metropoli-
tan celebration comes around, they will have
devOured each other so that there will not be
sufficient left Of them to make very imposing
show.

T.qnsS has fairly installed itself already into
the position OF chaperon to the incoming ad-
ministrstion. Through one of its corps, who
has been to Wheatland, it is oraeularly ex-
planning what Mr.. Buchanan will do after 4th
March next, and what he will not do; besides

ought by all means to do, and what he should
by no means do. Taking into consideration

its cotsrie gave Mr.. buchanan up te the 4th
inst, it was kindly considerate in it, indeed
to wait until the 10th inst. before taking pos

the Times he is now just about the wisest
greatest, most patriotic and independent man
ever elected to the Presidency, whatever he
may have been in its estimation up to the
moment that event tranSpired. Well, We are
thankful for its tardy rendition of justice to
the action Of the Democratic National Con-
vention in making Mr.. buchanan the stand

rapidly becoming q serious rival to the Times
