Tore h. Light Procession and Berenade.

The turner's" of this city marched, in
procession, with torches, at a late hour on
Thursday night to the residence of II GER
tain high functionary in the Republican
ranks. for the purpose OF serenadIny him,
which they did according to Gunter. After
the sweet strains of the fret tune played by
the band, had died away, the high dignita-
nv elect appeared Oh the house top and com
menced the delivery Of very eloquent
speech; and, having got into the merits OF
the case, was going it fine" when some one
in the crowd Of serenad rs cried out, 'the
peoples want beer This remark appear
ed to set the gentleman back considerable,
and after much stammering, he informed his
friends assembled on the outside Ut the
house, that "he was q temperance man
never kept anything TO take about the
mouse, and never drank anything except by
invitation from other persons" Having
concluded his speech in the stenographic
style, the gentleman disappeared through
the scuttle with The cries of beer. beer, "
ringing in his ears. AS soon as the distin-
guished functionary had vanished, Mr.. herr
Hams Ton Spechen, small man, but u
powerful speaker, you could have heard
him a mile, mounted the fence and spoke
substantially as follows:

After the conclusion Of this harrangue,
| much emotion was visible in the counte
nances of the disappointed Turner'S Some
gave expression OF their disgust in very en-
phatic execrations-others made night hid
eous with their loud hootings, and others
again by beating the earth nth their torch
ca. In this state of feeling they turned
their backs upon the house OF their hospita-
bic host, and out of breath with blowing
and swearing, and dimly lighted with the
few remaining thorches, wended their way
back to their hall, tired, dry, hungry, and
after furnishing me tive or six kegs of
beer, at their own expense, sought their
several places of abode. wiser if not happier
men than when the started out.
Our reporter, who is always hanging up
on the outskirts on such occasions, Is of the
opinion, from the loud hints he heard fail,
that the same gentleman will not receive
another serenade in hurry from the same
party.

compelled TO labor ensrgetically for the
conversion Of their shinplasters; they
have been prevented from crowding
them out 10 large quantities; refusing
to redeem them in anything; and IN
many other ways, have been forced TO
work to keep their wildcat in anything
like living order. We know very well
and so do our merchants, that to the

by no mean. dissatisfied with what we
have accomplished. What has been
done here, in behalf Of good curren-
CIV, the Democrat has done. Our re-
Enumeration consists in an approving
conscience, and the approval Of all in
telligent men, and not in doses Of wild
cat, or wild land advertisements.
But we are not yet through. We
enlisted for the entire campaign, and
we shall not disband nor desert. Flor
ence money must and shall be placed
upon a respectable basis or go out alto

demptions and its impotent threats
but they will not deter us. We have
only one thing to say..to wild cat own
crs and their owners; put your cats OF

that is done we shall continue to pub
