Every ono said : Max has talent, but lioR shy and awkward, cannot adapt himself to tlio ways of tlio world, is unacquainted with the usages of society, and rifcm^knows what to do with his hands and fcc^^taswlso he is a good and elevor follow enough. Such was tho goneral opinion with mo.— Reader, do you .porcoivo mo failing 1 My worldiycducation was defective. Diligent nl school and in tho workshop. I was uncleanly and negligent of my attire; was civil, obliging and honest, but bashful withal, so that I ran offwhon unknown persons approached; my eyes never knew whoro to look tbr a resting placo when addressed by a stranger, and if called upon to moot a lady with civility and politeness, I beoamo rooted to tlio spot, speech- loss, and stiffas a ramrod. Enotigh—politeness and case of manner, ns ttiey are called, are concerns no loss pertain ing to life’s comfort, than broad and potatoes or a glass of wlno. Many young gontlcmoh, as I havo often ob served, aro greatly wanting in tlieso respects. Many a ono in going into • society is sadly nt a loss how to dispose of his extreinitios, and would, one can easily perceive, have much rather loll them at home. Many such an uu- fortunnto knows not whoro'to quarter ill's hands, thrusting them at ono momont into Ills waist-cont, at another into his breeches pockets, then in despair raising tho ono or the other to his. occiput, there to scratch by way ofvarioty. Among other ill-luck entailed by my awk wardness, may be reckoned that of boing still a bachelor, of having reached my fifty-second yoar without boing blessed with a wife. No sooner was ray old Auntdend, and I hor solo, heir, thereby rendered 1 tompnmtlvoly affluent, than!, then, in my thirtieth year, was led toscok tlio hirad of a young lady, who to other 'qualifications added beauty; virtno, nminbility, and wealth, bosidcs. w I was .woll pleased, with pretty Barbara; matters wore quickly arranged, and nothing ■remained but to cultivate tho acquaintance.

I felt ns though I wore in the battlo and about to rush on tlio enemy's gnns. What civil things wore said on tho part of tho company I know not; as yot I lind not tho courngo to look up, but continued like ono possessed bowing and scraping and ejacu lating “your liumblo servant,” in all direc tions,-until cut short by a fresh mishap.' I had fn fact reached tho pie Which still lay there, for tins servant had not sufficiently Fe chvcrcd from her Right and loss bf breath, and stood' Btaring at the master piece of cook ing dOsiicd to pieces on tlio floor without an effort to remove it. All at once, while engaged in making h fresh inclination, my unfortunate left foot wandered Into tho pastry. I saw nothing, for all had become dark before my eyes.

Tho consequence wns that I pour ed the burning soup into Barbara’s lap and overher clothes, and in endeavoring hastily withdraw It sent tlid remainder into my own lap, deluging nlilto my garments mid my fin ger napkin; It was a fraternal division, remember all as though it was hut yesterday It was crab soup.

Mr. Chairman, I hopo that motion wont. pass. I dld'nt, eorao lioro to.bo kotchcd in an Abolition trap, and I wont be if I cun help it.

I’m a Democrat of tho Jackson stamp, hut I aint no Abolitionist, I always went for Jackson and will always go for ids’ successors ns long ns thoy follow in Ms footsteps. I always-wont for Van Burun os long as ho followed in Jackson's footsteps; but when ho turned Abolition I dont go for him no moro, nor his son John neither.' Bill Johnson. Squire, I wish yon to pnt my 'question, to chooso Major- Jack Downing to Baltimore, If wo cant trust him as a good Jackson Democrat, there isn't a imm in the United States that we can trust. Ho was al ways tlio old Gineral’s right-hand man. And as for abolition traps, I wish Mr. Jones’s Store was as free from rum-traps, and gin-traps ns I am Rom Abolition traps— Salomon Jones. Mr. Chairman, I call the gentleman to order, I want, to know, before ho goes, any further, whether this is a Tom- pornneo meeting or a Democratic meeting 1 Bill Johnson. lysas much of a Temper ance meeting as it mfraholltion meeting.

And Hints why I want to send a Delegate to Baitlmoro that we can depend Upon, such ns Mnjor Downing; ono that'll keep va out of tlio slavery trap. For I tell you, sir, llio Soutli lias got the slavery trap set nil over tlio country, nnd covered with n good many pieces of sly tempting halt. There’s a hit of. nico flavored Buchanan halt here, and a strong Cass bait thoro, and a little Douglas hnit fur ther long and a fat Houston halt out yonder, and on tho middle of tho jian there’s a myste rious hit ofButlor halt, nicely rolled in meal;' yes sir, all rolled in meal; and what's more, to make it easy to swallow, it’s rubbed over with a little Van Buren oil. Now, sir, I dont swallornono of them baits, and no man dont get my voto for President without ho come* right up to tho chalk first, nnd declares np and down that ho isn’t no slavery man. Doctor Briggs. Mr. Chairman, it seems to mo nolglibor Johnson has got hold of the hot end of tho poker, after all, and has fairly got to stirring tlio Presidency with It, whether wo will or no. So that my motion to go into the question of tlio Presidency first scorns to bo carried without boing put to voto. Now, sir, I am glad to seo that Sir. Jones nnd Mr John son agree exactly In ono tiling, however wido spart thoy may ho on other points. That Is, ■ that thoy wont noither of 'em move a step in tho dark, nor stir an incli til they know whoro they are going to. Mr. Jones wont voto for a Delegate till ho knows ids man, and knows ex actly w hat that Delegate is going to do. And Mr. Johnson wont voto for a President till ho knows his man nnd knows lio’s ail right and isn’t no slavery man. Solomon Jones.

For my part, Mr. 1 Chairman, Pro mado up my mind not to vote for any man for Frcsldont that wont go for- Kossuth, clear up to tho huh, and stand ready to fight tho Russian Bear if lie meddles with Hungary.. I say freedom is the right of every body, and I go for It; and I want a President that'll go for it, too, up to fifty-four fotry and fight, if it can’t bo got without. I call that good Jackson doctrine. Old Hickory would go for It if ho was alive, and the Democracy must see that lie has a successor that’ll go for it now. That’s tho foundation of the Demo cratic principle freedom for ovory body; Is Hi 1 wantfo know If the gentleman means Rcedom for the niggers south or Mason and Dixon’s lino 1 If ho does, I pronounce him a bloody Abolitionist and no Democrat. Sargent Joel. I said Recdom for,every body, and I'll stick to It. You can't split a hair; nobody can’t split hairs now Mr. Calhoun's dead. And you can't split a principle; and I say tlio foundation of the Democratic princi ple is freedom 'for evory body, and I’ll stick to it! And I want a President that will carry that principle out strait on all sides, in Hun gary and ovory whore .else. And when we choose , our Dclcgato to Baltimore, I shall move to giro 1dm instructions to voto for a Kossuth candidate tor tlio Presidency. Solomon Jones. Then, sir, you aro an Abo litionist, and your candidate will bo an Aboli tionist, and tlio wholo South will ho again you; and you’ll find, if you can’t split hairs, you can split tho country, and tho wholo Democracy and .we shall lose all tho offices. Sargent Joel. I don’t fight for offices, I fight for liberty; Recdom for overy body; that’s my motto. Deacon Snore. I fool itmyduty,Mr. Chair man, to caution our Democratic brethren, not to bo too rash. I think wo ought to have a President tiint will ho prudent, and not get ns into any tangling aillanco with another nations, nnd will carry out tho safe nutrality doctrines laid down by Washington. Doctor Briggs. Mr. Chairman, wo seem to bo going all round Robin Hood’sjbam’ but I don’t seo as wo arc any whoro near coming to tho point. Now, sir, it seems to mo the way wo should go is as plain ns the road to mill. Is thin a Democratic meeting 7 And are wo all Democrats 1 That’s tho question. If we aro all Democrats, then of eburso we all want a Democratic President | nnd wo ought to fix ourselves on that point, and not bo looking round,lor any other nails to hang our hats on. Therefore, I move that we instruct our Dele- cgnto to Baltimore to vote for a candidate for President that is a stanch Democrat, »nd la favor of all sound Democratic principles. Chairman. Are you ready for that ques tion 1 If that is your minds, gentlemen, please Sdomon Jones. Mr. Chairman, I oppose that motion, and before it’s put I wnnttoknoW wliat is sound Democratic principles.

Mr. Ohairman, as there, scorns to ho somo confusion and misunder standing about Democratic principles, and there don’t seem to bo much chance of doing any tiling till these Matters are settled, l movo that Squire Downing, our venerable Chairman, shall make a plain Rill states to this meeting of all the sound prlncifiTSS; and then we shall have to go by.
