THE SECRET CONCLAvE.
SIXTH MEETING.

and the greater number of members
were present.
General Quartette presided, and
the officers we're all in their places.
The General called the meeting to
| order and remarked that he "wished
this to be kind of red-letter meet
ing. The former sederunts had
been of such turbulent and unplea-
SAINT character that change would
be grateful, and tend to better fell
lowship among the members. To
open the proceedings he called on
Capt. Habakkuk Chowder for
song
Capt. Chowder regretted that
his voice want with cent; but he
allus reckoned to 'bige when he
kyood. He was an Amirikin of the
old skyool, and he b'lieved that
Amirikins had bin Gods chosen
people sence the Jews skedaddled
from Palestine. Whichever way
twas, he guessed Amurikay kyood
whip the wurld if she'd mind to,
and the Germans into ehe bargain.
He would now give stave he learn
ed at Cape Cod jest before he kyum
round the Horn:
A bobolink sot on top fence rail,
And loon near the fence wur alaflin
Then came coon that hadn't got
tail,
And the three sot a-yarnin and
chatfin.
THAT song, Mr.. President" said
Capt. Chowder, represents meet
in of the lower animals. You will
perceive that the song does not re-
port their conversation bekase they
spoke furrin language which has
not yet bin Electromagnetic" With
these highly instructive remarks
Capt. Chowder 'sot dyown.'
The President now came to the
conclusion that singing through a
meeting would not do, and he called
on the Rev. A. Whangbuster for n
few remarks; AMI order which that
gentleman complied with as follows {:
"Mr. President and fellow mem
bers of the Calathumpian PARTY
appreciate very highly the remarks
of Capt. Chowder, they have thor
ough New England ring about them ;
while his song brings back old me-
mories never to be forgotten Well
do | remember the bobolink and It's
melodious song. 1t was the first of
our spring warblers; and before the
buds had burst into leaf, he might
be seen perched upon an apple tree
heralding the fast approaching
spring in his clear and energetic
notes. The loon has also its asso-
Citations of whimsical variety, and
the hunting of the coon by night was
q pastime which all must remember
with pleasure. We are now met as
of old from the "piney" woods OF
New England, from the halls Of
learning in the hub of the universe,
and from the stormy regions around
Cape Cod" ('Blatherskite!' shout
ed Dick Blunt, tell us something
!, about the policy of the govern
ment y Rev. Whangbuster resum-
ed with the remark that she was not
the government, nor member Of
: that honorable body; and he wa'
not aware of their policy, or whether
they had any policy
"Yeu have just hit the nail OF
the head this time by chance" sale
Dick Blunt, "the government ha:

Y world to produce such parcel o
f governing incapables. They do no

i like what other governments do
: Their whole modus 0peramdi is Sc
cret, silent and suspicious. 1t is
lawyers government self FREEDOM
mates, and beclouding of eXecu

ible. No reforms are in progress
and the cries of the several district
{ for improvements that government
are supposed to supply, are passec
G in silence and unheeded. Why d.
not these gentlemen of the Cabine
+ either make friends of the public o
resign? Even in our Calathumpial
f Party there is good material TO
Cabinet ministers; but, if there i
n better outside, / can see no harm i
a coalition. One thing, however, i
certain, viz: that the present in
cumbents in the ministerial office
are worn out in popularity; an
! have certainly, in their present ca
pacity, survived their usefulness
d both to theiI own party and to tn
: clamoring public outside. The
have served their time; and shout,
retire while they can do so wit
some shadow of honor, which woul'
have been less furnished had the
resigned six months ago."
