Orator Frog and gOod-n0tured George
A Correspondent at Clarksville, Virginia, has
favored US with sketch of speeches made before
the Coon Clay Club of Clarksville, by two dis
tinguished Coons of Caswell and Orange He
says:


I" AT meeting of the Club some weeks ago, il
was made known 10 the presiding officer that two
distinguished Federal Orators, one from Orange
and the other from Caswell, were present, and Of
course he called upon them for a speech. Mp
first rose and delivered his views with his accus
toned cte0rnesS and force. He told the people he
had once been democrat, but that his eyes bad
been mraculously opened TO the errors of his way
by certain conversation with the Hon. Waddg
Thompson at Raleigh few weeks since and
doubt not he thought himself extremely seVee
upon his late political associates. He talked as
the democracy had caught the itch on purpose 70
be scratched by him. But notwithstanding bis
great effort, it is believed he did The democraIN
cause more good than harm, since il showed most
clearly how debasing Federal principles must be"
have the effect of transforming in so short time
pretty decent fellow into vituperaliVe geF
club coon orator.


"But this effort was nothing-a mere farce 10
what followed. The other gentleman, G.. W."
made his e7tre with most overwhelming air. br
ing called by the President, he arose, made D"
bow, and said "Mr. President, James K. Polk
(hemmed, and choked, and tried it again) MI
President, James K. Polk-(here he paused again.
scratched his Uranium, and concluded) {" Mr. Pfes
ident, James X. Polk is the D1dke-shitt of the de~
ocratic party" After this eloquent and enthusas5
tic outburst, he had but few remarks to make SD'
took his seat amid thunders of applause"


We congratulate the univefsaI Coon party upon
these great efforts of Orator Frog and goOdna'Dr
ed George. Like Senator Mangum, they =,
hence into another State to make speeches. an'
like him, they return sometimes with flea u
their ears
