Of that ihtelligsHi audience, and of The

old line sBlue light Federal Whig," and
run upon that ticket. until he was kicked
ont Of the party, and his only remedy left
by which to seek office, was TO JOIN the
Democratic party, and obtain Office over
the heads of old, substantial aud life tried
Democrats! Mr.. Cellars was at home on
bis farm, attending to bis own private bu-

So soon as the second Vice President, by

secretaries, one of them a plufy looking
bog, who has never yet voted, and anotb
er western gentleman, were properly in
stalled, the long, Iank, cadaverous looking
gentleman, with Juach on bis chin, re-
sembing the end Of a cows tail, arose t.
his full height and in true Military tone
through his nasal organ said "Mr. Pre,i

we were almost forced to lose our arav

Mr. Tope being guiIIotined, they proceeded
to finish the phantasical farce of nomina

eyes Of every man who knew the whole
