He took the ague badly,
And it shook him-shook him sorely, g
Shook his boots off and his toe-nails,
Shook his teeth out and his hair of,
Shook his coat all into tatters,
And his shirt all into ribbons:
Shirtless, coatIess, hairless, toothless,
Minus boots and minus toe-nails;
Still it shook him till it
Made him yellow, gaunt and bony.
But ne has shaken SO much that he has got

e For some time past the Republican meetings,
held ut the corner ofour Streets have been an
noyed by the noise and ,shoutngs of their oppo-
ncnts. On Thursday evening last at the largest
meeting of the season, addressed by Mr.. O'Con-
nsr, there was no disturbance, and good order
seemed to have been restored. Why was it?-
During the long and eloquent speech, which oc-
cupied some two hours, not Bit too long, there
was perfect order, and the best attention was
given to it. Among the crowd of listeners,
noticed a goodly number of our opponents, and
none gave better attention or seemed more in
terested.
MIR. Miller, of Fort Madison, who followed
spoke about half an hour, and was also listened
to without any apparent impatience, and with
out confusion. From some cause there is eyi
IDENTIFY change in the feelings aud actions of
it certainly speaks better for "law and order,'g
than heretofore. Has their own conduct dis
gusted them, or has clearer sense of propriety
brought about the improvement? or is the cause
of truth, freedom and Fremont on the advance
Perhaps all these have something to do in the
premises, but believe the latter is the true
one, and that it has become so is apparent to
all sensible men everywhere, that to longer re.
sist it by disorderly conduct, would be doing Vi
olence to their own better natures.
Mr.. OConner's appeal to his own countrymen
as adopted citizens of this republic, in which he
cautioned them against being led astray by dem
agogues, or the charms Of party names, made
an evident impression on the minds of those
present. He admonished them to act as Amer
lean citizens, and in subservance to the princi.
pies of freedom, for which they had left their
own land to find homes here. There was cri-
sis, he said in the country and all men were call
ed on to become politicians, and to seek out the
cause of the crisis, and the remedy. That the
remedy was change in the policy of our gov
srnment and all good and true men should
come to the rescue.
The quiet that prevailed throughout seemed
worthy of note, and trust will hereafter be OBJ
served by all parties and on all occasions T.
