A JokE-TRuE.-Thc other day there was
.,;,e gathering in La Grange from the coun-
~. ~ Among the number was distinguished
-, ~ of Lcco.Foco;sm, who seemed toibe somewhat
ofa Sfs fayori,e among that party in Troup. Late
y :. ,ho afternoon, this individual, being leader
orotficio, 6egan a political conversation with
Vera, OF the legal gentlemen Of La Grange, and
sh,ssd the Tariff in most shocking manner.
Passing by at that moment, we pulled from our
.,cket paper which contained extracts from
9Th Messrs Clay and Folks letters on the Ia.
If. We proposed TO read to the crowd the let
,.rc. and asked one OF the gentlemen present to
ssv which enc should be read. He replied,
!" Read Mr.. Clay's letter by all means" We
chose to read Mr.. Folks first excepting the name
s;lent0 and SO did. So soon as we had conclu-
,,sd. one of the waggish Wings asked the Loco
Foco Foe this question, Well, hr. Smith, how do
rop like the doctrinc-can't you support those
5ocirines 2" To which Mr.. Smith replied" No,
ri de id il ever give my support to any
such doctrines, nor to the man who wrote the
letter."


We did not wait TO hear the boys out in their
nerr;ment-it was Jun for them to see the old
sdsoe carried out 30 completely, they don't
know their own men," nor do they know their
principles.


n. B. Since writing the above, VIC learn that
Mr.. Smith, after We left, became cnraged at the
ioke and swoic that he would "vote for Polk,
VENT he was as black as the ace of spades"
