Such is the heading to the description Of the
great Bell and Everett Inauguration of the
Club House and procession, contained in the
"Whig" of yesterday. We are told the Club
House was built upon the site of Liberty

in 1914. The famous old Log Cabin, rs it vas
then called, dedicated as the receptacle for
coons, bran.brcad, ogle.spoons, and other par

Der to have witnessed the disgust displayed by
the accomplished Benjamin Watkins Leigh,
who, while speaking upon matters of grave
import, such as q Senator Of the United States
might speak, was interrupted by the introduc-
ton of alive coon on the top Of pole, which was
received by senselcss shout from the sympa-
thisine coons inside the building With coun-

TgASsPAREsclEs AND DEvicRl
We caught them as they passed. The first
was "Slcnce that dreadful Bell" Well, if the
Wings wish it senced, they can tlke of the
clapper Why they should call it dreadful"
We do not understand, considering he enthu-
siassn they display in ringing it. We doubt
not it is ringing their kncll, and therefore it
sounds dreadful. 1t sounds dreadluIly disgust
ing to the sturdy men of intellect ia the Whig
party, no doubt, and it looks disgusting to see
grown men following in procession ringing
COW and sheep bells, under the expectation Of
converting grown men upon matters Of prlnci-
pie.
