About as amusing an affair in the polit-
ical way that has ltranspired Iately
came off yesterday. Our friend J. 3.
Smith with all his proelivities toward
Greeleyism, has not been able to convert
his three clever boys from to II years of
age; IN his absence yesterday they with
other boys hoisted a large pole from
which they swung neat little flag and
streamer with Grant and Wilson in
scribed thereon, and when Mr.. Smith
returned he found them in full possess
sion OF his lot, making speeches, sing
ing and shouting, and all for Grant and
nary Greeley; well verify, said he,
this beats all, and beat hasty retreat
to his office ruminating as the elder
Weller, ''Oh, the Vimmins, the VIM
minsi
The river is in fine stage for naviga-
tion, business of all kinds appears to be
brisk, and prospects for the Fall appears
to be fiattering. SPARTAN.

On Saturday evening last,i the man
with the horny hand, Gen. s. F. Cary

forth to quite a large audience assem-
bled upon the lp6Blie square. The
Democrats, had gotten up tasty ar
rangement of flags, uansparencies, &C.,
with an excellent stand to speak from,
with a good band of music, in fact,
everything to bring out a large crowd
and inspire what enthusiasm could be
drawn out of the situation, In point
of numbers in attendance and arrange
mantS; the meeting was a success but
the speeches were a total failure, (by.
the-way, a. large proportion of the
audience y were Republiefhs.) j.. Mr..
Carey succeeded in getting down his
full peck or dirt, SO apparent was this

Greeley men couldn't help Observing
