The WAY THEY Do THINGS IN JEFFERSON
CITY.-The Union Bell Ringers of Jefferson City
assembled in large numbers at the Council Cham
ber in that city on Thursday night in obedience to
previous notice, to receive banner from the
order by their President, James p Freret, Esq,
after which the band struck up Hail to the Chief"
During this performance, the standard-bearer of
the club entered the hail. followed by four ladies'
amid deafening huzZas two of whom one on each
side, acted as guides to the banner holding the
gold tasses, and the others following Immediately
| in the rear. They marched round to the platform
| in front of the entrance the President making
way for them they took possession of the stand.
Miss Addie White then stepped in front OF the ban
ner and addressed the club as follows, in the most
graceful and charming style:
Mr.. President and Gentlemen QfHee Union Bel
T. 1nFIia r.,F Iaffa
| son City have deputed me, as the humble instru-
ment their behalf to present to you this Banner,
which is token OF the deep interest we feel in
the future prosperity of our glorious country and
| the success of your Presidential candidates, John
Bell and Edward Everett. Their names stand forth
upon the brightest page of patriotism, and every
| Unon-lovng heart should shout their praises in
the loudest tones
Gentlemen words are inadequate to convey to
you my feelings on this occasion but suffice it to
say, you engaged in good and patriotic cause.
Prompted by the love of our glorious country, you
have enlisted as band to advocate the success of
two of Americas nobest sons-John Bell and Ed
ward Everett 1t is seldom we see so much good
ness and learning moving in the same train; there
fore, it is the duty OF every patriot to emblazon
their glorious deeds and noble sentiments to the
view Of the whole Union. You should exert every
influence, contribute every mite, to make the Union
bell ring merrily on the lth of November.
Next TO the love of our God should be that Of
our country-and such country as ours: well
might every true American heart thrill with delight
at the mention of Columba's fair and untarnished
fame, and the magic eloquence Of the mighty ora
tors be called forth in turtherance Of her future
welfare and the continuance Of her mighty chain
Of union and liberty. Edward Everetts name
alone is talisman OF greatness and goodness. Re-
view his whole life there is everything to praise,
and not even the stcrnest enemy could find one
fault to condemn. His excrtions on behalf OF the
ladies' Of the United States for the purchase Of
Mount Vernon, should insure him the deepest re-
spect and kindest regard Of every lady, for the
memory of our dearly beloved Washington is held
sacred in his heart, and such man could never
fail to be worthy Of tile strongest support Of hi
many friends.
Greece, the nativity Of so much learning, once
the home of the brave, where and what is she
now? Centuries and centuries have passed since
the oppressor's hand chained her to the earth bu
q she fell not when the mighty upon her. bu
, by her own factions Her glorious temples and pal
aces now lie in desolate ruins, the decayed magnf
icence offormer splendor. Neither was proud Rome
conquered, but betrayed by Romans. And wher
you reflect upon their sad decay, what vast duties
press upon you for noble eXertion, to preserve ou
= own glorious Union from such fate. Your dutie;
may be numerous and arduous: but onward, ant
: rest assured you will ever have, for your pros
: perity and success, the sincerest wishes of the
ladies of Jefferson City.
The President received the Banner in the name
of the club, and in most excellent appropriate
and enthusiastic speech pledged the club to let nc
spot stain of dishonor ever attach 10 it, ana tha
they would bear it aloft and on to victory. Th:
!; was followed by neat cheering. The meeting waF
also addressed by Mr.. Blocker, Mir. Jonas and Mr.

Union Song, to the tune of DINE, with great ap
