The Working Meh's Association held anoth,
or meeting in the court House this evening.
The President baing absent, the Vice Presi'
dent, Col. Richmond, took the chair aud called
the meeting to order.
The Secretary proceeded to read 10 read the
minutes ofthslSst meeting, but was interrupted
by the Chairman, who informed him that the
minutes were a little too much variRated with
the peculiar tintA5of Mr.. Bringhust's prolific
fancy.
Warren Phillips thought they were correct
in every particular.
Mr.. Shame thought Mr.. Phillips could mol
know whether the minutes were right or wrong
as he was not present at the last meeting. but
was at that time sdmiring the Pope's bull
hanging up in the Whig Club Room.
Mr.. Green declared the Pope's bull had never
been In the Wing Club Room.
An Irishman in the crowd cried out that they
need have no fears, that the bull was not dan
gerous except on the eve Of an important cleo
tion.
Just then Bill EGker appeared at the door
with white coon under his arm, and called
for Warren Phillips, who went out whistling
"Thst same old cOonl"
Morris seely, being loudly called for, reN
spOnded in a speech Of great length and power
on the manifold advantages Of Seely's ditch
and slackwater navigation; at which Wyatt
became very much displeased and Dr. Randy
highly elsted.
Pete Lehman wanted to know what pleased
DR.. RambyH
Christ. Hsllfigle thought if Mr.. Lehman
would live in the neighborhood Of Seely's ditch
six month he would most likely find out what
tickled DR.. Ramby.
Somebody called for Old Jimson TO make
speech.
Jack Wyatt objected to DR.. Jimson making
a speech. on the ground that the DR.. belonged
to the aristocracy and had no feeling in COM
mon with the working man.
Mr.. Stansifer said the DR.. could not be cons
sidered an arintOcrat unless..he came to Dayton
before McAffee was hung whereupOn the DR..
acknowledged that he had not been long in
Dayton; upon which MIR. Stausifer informed
him that he had better keep dark, as interlopers
and dunderheads were not much encouraged in
this vicinity.
Tom Clegg thought it was wrong to spend
time foolishly when grave questions of national
policy demanded serious confederation, and he
hoped the Working men of Dayton were able
to discuss them dIspassionately; he would
therefore move that committee Of ak be apS
pointed TO report the views of the association
on the subject of high protective tariff. Mr..
McOammOn seconded the motion.
Mr.. Mum wanted to know whether the COM
mittee was TO be composed exclusively of
Wings or mott Mr.. Clegg said no. His object
was to have the committee composed of Wings
and Democrats, 'ah and 'alf
DR.. Walters thought the Tyler men ought TO
have voice in-ths committee, which caused
an unam;able shade TO pass over Deacon Comfy 3
countenance.
Lester Smith thought the Liberty men should
be represented, whereat Eb. Heald cried out
egg himl egg himi Move himl move himl''
Mr.. Smith fearing he was not in safe quarters
jumped out through the back window. Eb.
attempted to follow him, when Tom Hellrigle
ran a stick between his legs and tripped him
up, at which Reason Forrest clapped his hands
in great glee. Eb. gathered himself up and
swore he could whip Reason Forrest or any
other d--n shoemaker. hereupon Bill Shame
threatened to knock him down again, but Eb
would not wait to see it done.
The motion to appoint the committee was
then put and carried.
The Chair appointed Richard Green, Thos,
olegg, Tom Bringhurst, s. @. Gain, ]. Kelly
and E. Hutchinson said committee, and the
Association adjourned.
