liberty to report it entire for the edi6caton of
the public. II BY any accident have failed
to report the parties Alright, any correction shall
be promptly made.
It appCaTs that Mr.. Puttyhead had attended

ment, called on his acquaintance, Mr.. Thought.
ful, when the following dialogue ensued.
I'U.tyhead-Well, old boy, why were you not
out to the convention to-day! We put things
through all right in good GimocTatic style.
Tt0UghUaL-Wel really can hardly say
Why was not out, except that felt that the
result was a foFegone conclusion, and that my
presence could not affect it in any manner. In
all such cases, man with the slightest degree
Of Independence Of character, or individuality
Of soul, will lose all interest and shrink from
coming out merely 10 be a cipherin the crowd.
But, Puttyhead, what did you do?
Pattyhedd-Uh, we nominated straight out.

T,Or0htaE-But, Puttyhcad, what do you
mean by straight out-and-Out democrats2
Puttyhedd-0h, mean men who always vote
the straight dimocratc ticket; never scratch

the serVicc.
T.ougAsaE-I recOllect. l think it sv.v.

Puttyhead-Yes, the same man.
tfat-Wtll, wei. used to know him

pork, tIipe and ham deserves well Of his county,
especially u he makes anything by tho transac-
ton. u remember rightly, he held an Office
BY the appointment Of Mr. Fillmore, and was the
