THURSDAY MORNING, SEPT. 9, 1852. Extravagance. The Whig party of Indiana, or rather Milton Gregg and John D. Defrees. have rot un and issued a nam. Lm .. ... l . 1 phiet, and circulated several thousand copies, detailing r ' I the expenditures of the last Legislature contrasting J the first session under the new Constitution, where the I laws were revised and made to conform to that instrnk obf - I ment making all local laws general in their character fixing Congressional Districts. Supreme Court Districts, and Circuit Court District enacting a new and general system of Education providing for a new Probate system, in the establishment of a Court of Common Pleas a general Railroad law a system of Free Banking and a thousand other things, requiring much lalabor and investigation, and which occupied between five and six months in its deliberations, with ordinary sessions, udtere but little was done of benefit to the country showing that more money was expended at the last than prerious sessions of the Legislature. This, they hope, will place the Whig party in power ' Near the commencement of the last session this plau of attack was agreed upon by the Whig leaders, and a systematic effort was made to procrastinate the time of the two Houses by the Whig members. Out of the many attempts, at this kiud of game, we shall only, at present, single out two items, reserving others to a future occasion. The gallant Major Simenson who belonged to Gen. Persifer F. Smith's celebrated Rille Regiment that acted so distinguished a part in the triumphal march of the American army from Vera Cruz to the city of Mexico that participated in every buttle, and was the first to plant the tars and stupes upon the Halls (.f the Montezumas after the capture of the city collected a number of cariosities, embracing a suit of ancient armor and some pictures, which he sent home, and directed a portion of them to be deposited in ihe State Library, which was accordingly done, and for which la received a vote of thanks ol nearly every member of both Houses ol the Legislature, by the passage of a joint resolution, found upon tbe statute books of the State. To procrastinate the time of the Legislature, and to give color to the cry of extravagance they intended to make, it was agreed, in secret conclave, that David P. Holloway now an ardent supporter of General Scott, and who had been opposed to the Mexican war and General Scott should offer a resolution insinuating that these articles had been plundered from the Mexicans by oar brave soldiers; and when the charge was repelled by Democrats in the Senate, who had been in Mexico, an attempt was made to prove it, by such Whigs as Geo. G. Dunn, Joseph G. Marshall, D. P. Holloway, and other leaders of the Whig party. A debate ensued, which occupied some eight or ten days George G. Dunn making one speech of three hours to prove that the war with Mexico was unjust and unconstitutional, and that Indiana volunteers, on their return from Mexico, had been sent to the Penitentiary, and consequently would be guilty of (he outrages complained of in Holloway 's infamous resolution. There was no other course left for the Democrats to pursue, but to meet these slanders of their countrymen, and show, by referring to the infamous speech of Corwin, and other Whig documents, that the Whigs in Congress had embarrassed the administration of President Polk by refusing supplies to our brave army. They had to suffer the Whig leaders to cram these vile slanders down their throats, or incur the expense of several thousand dollars to repel them. This waa nobly done by Lane, Cravens, Athon, and many ethers, who had met the enemy on the battle-fields of Mexico. This useless discussion cost the State of Indiana at least ix thousand dollars- It was not the individual act of Holloway, but of the leaders of the Whig party, to give room for their cry of extravagance. It was an uncalled for movement, alike disgraceful to the man who offered the resolution, and the party who hissed him on. Six thousand dollars! Only think of it uselessly squandered a sura that would have paid some fifteen clerks and door-keepers for their services during the entire session. The next item is an effort, on the part of tire Whig leaders, to prevent the appointment, or rather election of two Whigs on the committee of Revision, and which was accomplished by a revolutionary movement of the Whigs of the House in breaking a quorum, not only once, but on ten different occasions Here was a delay in legislation, by a high handed and revolutionary movement, unparalleled in the history of legislation, and ' ' which cost the Mate at least tour thousand dollar It I was unparalleled, because the Democratic majority desired the services of two prominent Whigs who were willing to terve, Messrs. Bryant and Linsday on a co man fee to revise the laws, but on which committee) the leaders of the Whig party determined they should not serve. Here we have ten thousand dollars uselessly expended, withoat tbe shadow of a reason, and for which the Whig party is responsible being brought about by the leaders as a portion of their tactics for the present campaign. The first was too damnable in its character for any Democrat to suffer to pass without rebuke , and the last, by s revolutionary movement, entirely beyond the reach of the majority, who, the Whigs contend, are responsible for all expenditures. These two items alone, amounting to ten thousand dollars worse than thrown into the sea would have aid twenty-fin clerks and door keepers daring tbe entire The SUM Fair. Tbe attention ef our readers is called to the advertisement, in the proper colamn, of Mr. Dennis, tbe Superinutadent of the State Fair. A rare caaaee is offered to some enterprising roan to make money.

The next Presidency. Under this head the Mississippi Argus has a long article, in which the editor urges many reasons why the south should support Gen. Scott. Among which are the following: "But General Scott is also presented to us by his friends as the man whom it is our interest to elevate to the Presidency; and to Southern men with Southern interests, he presents claims for their suffrage of no small weight. Born among us. reared in our midst, educated in the South, identified in person and property with us for Gen. Scott owns slaves, though it is not generally known." These are the arguments used at the South j whilst at the North the very reverse is maintained. Is this a fair mode of conducting a political canvass? tCT" Next to making a 'whistle out of a pig's ear," the attempt at manufacturing Franklin Pierce. Attorney and Counselor at Law and Solicitor in Chancery, into a Military Hero, is the most ridiculous. Indiana Jourr.nl. This is a specimen of Indiana Whiggcry. It is the 1 production of that intellectual giant. John D. Defrees, and must have a powerful influence on the Whig party. A wag at our elbow says it is a leetie more ridiculous to attempt to make a great statesman om of General Winfield Scott, the author of the letters and essays on Naturalization. Pierce has been tried as a hero, and won the approbation of his commanding General, and the confidence and esteem of hu soldiers and fellow ofncers. Which of the letters of Gen. Scott meets the an probation of the Whig party? Walk up to the Captain Oflice. The Louisville Times contains the following-; Face the Music ? ! ! Back your Judgments ! !

J 'rdie, because ho would not imbrne his hands in the blood of Gen. Jackson. Such is 1 not tfae laet. He has never been charged with cowardX i' Scott has shown his gallantry as a soldier on too many ice ucc-uac uc rciu&ea to ugni wnu cn. Jacsu. u-en battle fie'ds, to admit of the charge of cowardice. But w do asaert that his challenge of Got. Clinton, who was bound by an oath not to fight a duel, ter refusing to ngnt en. jacKson t.om " conscientious or "patriot Ifc ,i?eS' SlM"T8 ?en Scolt'8 appreciation of A the difference n the character of the tieomen. The con scientions scruples which deterred him from fighting, with Gen. Jackson were forgotten when he penned (no doubt in great haste,) the challenge to Gov. Clinton, not from cowardice, but because it was part of his character to bally and tyrannize over those who would not, or whose position prevented them from resenting it. We have no doubt that Gen. Seott has been conspicuous for his gal lantry in battle, and that he would be so again should occasion require it, but the bravery which hurries men into danger in the excitement of the battle-field, is of a very different character from that which can indaCe a man to risk his life in a duel. In the former case he rs sustained by duty and patriotism, in tbe latter he is instigated by a petty piqne to the resenting of an imaginary grievance. Well might any man decline stich combats, but be should never seek them. When he does do so, he should never plead conscience and patriotism in one case and forget them in another- Gen. Seott 's aots are just as irreconcilable as his written opinions. Harrisburg Union. (LTIt would appear by the following pithy little item from the Boston Post that the managers of '.he Lundy's Lane demonstration cheated tbe mammoth tent man in what little tbey did pay of their honest debts: "It was too bad to pay Mr. Yale in counterfeit money for the use of his tent at Niagara." Consistency. The Whigs are abusing General Pierce because the London Times praises htm. At the same time, they parade a letter from tbe Duke of Wellington endorsing General Scott!

FRIDAY MORNING, SEPT. lO, 18Ö2.

O A writer in the Journal, wiih more brass in his face than braios in bia bead, follows up the assertion of , the editor that Jnd-e Woodward, the Democratic nomi ' nee for the Supreme Bench in Pennsylvania, is a Native . I : . : . : rein.n. au Mjsuwiuisnviunum that Woodward, while a member of the Constitutional Convention of that State a few years since, used his powerful talents to engraft in the new Constitution one of the most objection able feature of Native Americanism. He sought to extend the time of naturalization to twenty or twenty-rive years, and made a long and able speech urging ita adoption,"' and concludes with the triumphant exclamation, ' Will W. J. Brown deny thutT' William J. Brown does deny it. Let the amendment be produced let the long and able speech be published. The whole storv bears on its face its own refutation What has the Constitution of Pennsylvania to do with the naturalization laws ? Nothing. That power belongs alone to Congress. States may permit unnaturalized persons io vote; but no action of theirs can affect the uniform naturalization taws of Congress. Gen. Cass in Tammany. The New York Tribune of Saturday last says, "Gen. Lewis Cass, made a speech in bis shirt sleeves on Thursday evening in Tammany Hall, intended to prove that the vet ran aspirant is no 'Old Fogy' but as progressive as the youngest of us;" which the editor reviews with great severity. When the old General takes off his coat and rolls up his sleeves, Whiggcry is sure to get some heavy blows. The Democratic press, speak of it as a poweiful effort, and Greeley is compelled to admit that "it was rather a good parti.an speech.'' But then he tries to destroy its effect among his nice city readers by saying that he made the speech "in his shirt sleeves.'' Terrible! Cass, Buchannan, Douglas, Houston. Marry and Butler, have all entered tbe canvass in earnest lor their successful rival. A good omen. 7The Indiana Sentinel charges that J. H. Bradley is the nominee of three Whigs in Indianapolis for Congress, knowing at the same time that Mr. B. became a candidate at the argent solicitations of large numbers of Whigs in every county of the district and that he did so Telnctantly even then. Danrille Adrertiser . We don't know any such thing. We do not believe that John H. Bradley, was the choice of the Whigs of this district. We have too much confidence in their intelligence and honesty, to believe any snch thing. He was Hobson's choice him or none. And as to the silly story that he was relnctant to be a candidate, its all humbug .lohn H. Bradley reluctant to be a candidate That story won't take. " 'r Lei i Em 1 odd. This gentleman, who is the Democratic candidate for Judge of the Common Pleas for Maiion County, has not attended tbemeetings ot the candidates; believing ! -hat candidates for judicial offices ought not to engage n tbe discussion of party politics. The Judge on the bench should not know the politics of anv man. These tre the view8 of M, TM He m ,nftke , .... ... sPeche8- Hl8 competitor has chosen a different course. He is making speeches. This, however, will not change lUe determination of Mr. Todd. ,i -urn;.,-, a i- , uri !!:'' v ILJ William A. Graham, the W hig candidate or ice ' President , has written a letter to prove that Scott is sound on the nigger question. This is the most natural thi n the word preservation is the first law of " , . . , , . . , , nature Graham is in the same boat with Scott, and they, of course will row together. Wonder if Scott won't wrile a ictter Jeclarin that Graham is perfectly sound on nativism? T7-Onr friend Solon Tnrman, is defeated for the nomi nation for Senator in Fountain county, but he bears his defeat like a man and a Democrat. Harris Reynolds is the candidate for the Senate, and John Stephens for the House. A better Democrat or a more clever man, never lived than our fried Solon. U' We have looked in vain, among our Pennsylvania Exchanges for a single charge against J u ' :e Woodward. Not one has been uttered. No Whig paper in that State has made any charge of nativism against him. That is reserved for the lying scribblers of the Journal. The natives have their regular candidate for Judge. Hon. K. W. McGaughey. We learn by telegraph, that Hon. Edward W. McGaughey, late a member of Congress from Indiana, died on board lhe Steamer Winfield Sc .?t, on his way to California. Kip hth District. Majrr Din. Mace was nominated as the Democratic candidate for Representative in Congress, by the Convention at Lafayette, on Tuesday last. The vote in Convention was for Mace 45, McDonald 32. C7The Journal hasn't yet produced the certificate of the Auditor, to prove the correctness of his roorback r pamphlet. Until the items are proved, we are not called on to defend. Don't nswer. Defrees don't answer our inqniry about the fives of Scott that he took from the Post Office without being franked. How Is that? fly The Lonisville Times, of Monday last, . ays: "We had the pleasure on Saturday of receiving the visits of those two distinguished veterans of the Demo cratic army, General Joe Iar.e and Mr. Speaker uoyu, who were passing through our city. The old 'Marion of the Mexican War' looks as game as when ho was engaged in hunting down Saata Anna, Parades, and Padre Jarauta, or pitching into the gaenillas wherever be could eatch them. The Hon.

Indianapolis, Aug. 18, 1852. G. C. Merrifield, Esq: Yours of the 7th inst., to Gov. Wright, was received. He is absent with his competitor, Mr. McCarty, canvassing the State.

I have never been a member of that body. I am not in favor of the Maine Liquor j Law, as you call it. I am the friend of TMjW j and wish success to all associations that are calculated to convince men of tho impropriety of Intemperance. I trust that my past life has given some evidence of ray attachment to the cause of sobriety, temperance, and order. I do not consider that this question is necessarily involved in the approaching election of Governor, having no doubt that whoever may be the Executive of Indiana, he would carry out the will of the people of the State, as expressed by their Representatives. Yours, most respectfully, JOSEPH Ä. WRIGHT. FROM NICHOLAS McCARTY. Indianapolis, Aug. 14, 1852. G. C. Mer-Ieield, Esq: Yours of the 7th inst., came by due course of mail, but absence and constant engagements have prevented a reply till now. You make the following enquiries ; "1st. 1st. Are you in favor of the Maine Law? And Id you, if elected to the office of Governor, recomd the passage of a similar law by the Legislature? woul mend the nassacre of a similar law by the Les?isl "2d.

In tne early part of the canvass, before I thought of being questioned on the subject, at a meeting at Green Castle the subject came up previous to the candidate for Presi dent being nominated ; and I expressed my opinion as to their pled edging themselves as they were urged to do, y bill which should alter or modify the ComJ , J to veto an promise measures. I spoke then to the following effect: I Mat it was carrying tbe inalter to an extreme, and i rusicu neuner o, m cauu.u. i s w- .. . ..u i-em-selves to make such a pledge. If they did, I considered it extorted from them at the expense of their own self- . . 1 : . i e . i 1 : J ..l.l 1 1 t respect at the expense of the respect due to the sta tionand at the risk of their pledge as a candidate coming in conflict with their official oath, so various have been cons! itutienal constructions at different times, and great and good men have changed their opinions honestly entertained on constitutional questions. Such is my opinion as a candidate now for the place named. Any opinion 1 might now have, might or might not be my opinion after taking the oath of office, and giving all the thought I could to tbe subject. With these remarks I will add I have no pledge o make as to what I would or would not veto. But I do pledge myself to act on this or any other subject that might come before me in accordance with ray sense of duty, under the solemnity of my official oath. But I am free to express the opinions I have on the . . . .

I believe that it is better that tbe public should suffer for a time the inconvenience of a measure, passed by their mistaken but honest judgment, and left for the people, through their Representatives, to change in their own good time, than that one frail mortal lik-j themselves, should set up his judgment against both People and Representatives on a mere matter of expediency. Of course I do not in this, pretend to go into every circumstance :hat might govern my action on the subject of the Veto, bnt the substance of such as are now in my mind. In haste, respectfully yours, NICHOLAS McCARTY. The Register, in publishing these letters, says: "Thoogh Mr. McCarty does not, like the Governor, commence every sentence of his letter with the personal pronoun so conspicuous in His Excellency's letters and speeches, we think his letter will be considered frank, manly, and satisfactory." Now without attempting to criticise Mr. McCarty's letter in any particular whatever, we would like to enquire if Gov. Wright's letter is not equally explicit and satisfactory. As to the personal pronoun , Governor Wright uses it seien limes, and Mr. McCarty nineteen .mies. iFroin the Rochenter, N. Y. ftid of Victory. The New Hampshire Test Letter from ilea. Fierce. John E. Warren, Esq., of Troy, (who was stopping at the time at Cooperstown,) has kindly furnished us with the copy of a letter (the original of which is before us,) from Gen. Pierce, most emphatically putting to rest the calumny which the Whigs so pertinaciously and absurdly continue to reiterate, charging General Pierce with favoring the existence of the odious religious test, in the organic law of that State. This denial of Gen. Pierce is prompt and emphatic, and meets the calumny plump in the faoe. He most truly says that "the charge is contradicted by every word and act of my (his) life, having reference to the question in any form directly or collaterally. I advocated (says he) the call of tbe Convention I'm the amendment of the Constitution, which assembled in November, 1850, and the most prominent object in myovon mind was to strike the unjust and odious provisions com monly called the religious and property qualification tests, from our fundamental law." No candid man will need any further evidence of the utter falsehood and recklessness of tho Whig attempts to present ihe position of Gon. Pierce, on this subject, and no honest man will longer pcisist in such attempts. CoNcoaD, (N. H.) July 15, 1852.

SATURDAY MORNING, SEPT. 11, 18Ö2. Judges of the Supreme Court. We discover there is some misapprehension in the public mind in regard to the election of Judges of the Supreme Court. Some suppose each district votes only for its own Judge : while others suppose that the electors in the State vote for lb ur Judges without regard to location in districts. Voters should inform themselves 1 correctly on this point, or their votes may be lost. Ev- j ery voter in the State may vote for four Judges, but I he can vote for but one in a single district j and if he j should vote for two Hi one district he would throw away , his vote. For example no voter can vote for Stewart and Howe, or for Davison and Dewey, and so on. Each one of the four for whom he votes, must reside in a diffatent district. And we would suggest to the press, in ,

publishing tbe ticket at tde head of their papers, to designate the district in which each candidate resides, as it . . . ' may prevent contusion. We nave corrected our own accordingly. ItTWell, Mr. John F. Gibbons, the great Whig Irish orator, has visited our city, according to announcement, I and had his say. He is a very dapper gentlemen, wears what tvry young ladies would call, an "elegant" ' L i it i : : l i i . -t it muusiauue, aim a ucncaie lnipt'iiai, a ouu-iauca striped coat, and patent leather boots, and was altogether "a nice young man for a small tea party." He commenced his speech by saying that the "locofocos" had heretofore driven his countrymen to the polls like oxen, and intimated that it was his mission to leach Irishmen their dutios as freemen. He called . Gen.

Governor Wright a Plagiarist. The Journal a'tempts to prove that Gov. Wright is a literary thief, by publishing an extract f;om a speech of Gov. Brown, of Tennessee, and an extract of a letter from the Governor. The speech and the letter were on the same subjects, and bear no more resemblance than letters and speeches on the same subject drawn from the same sources of information, generally do. Words convey ideas, and the same words are necessary to convey the same ideas. The Journal has failed in sustaining this charge against the Governor, as signally as it will fail in defeating his election. Perry County. The Democrats of Perry county, held the largest Convention on Sept. 4th ever held in that county, and nominated a full ticket For Representative, Arnold Elder; Sheriff, Lewis Criss; Treasurer, W. Whitehead; Commissioner, Wm. Elder; Surveyor, John Curry. Harmony and good feeling prevailed, and it adjourned d.-ter-mined to carry Old Perry, heretofore the Gibralter of Whiggery. 1C7 Messrs.

Hale, the free-soil candidate for the Presidency, will address the great mass meeting in Cleveland Ohio on the 14th of Sept., and at a number of mass meetings at different points in the State, terminating at Cincinnati on the 25th. He will then probably vist Indiana. Mr. Hale is a gentleman of talents, fine appearance, and a fine popular speaker. 7"On Thursday evening, Mr. Gibbons, the Irish Whig, stated, in his speech, as a matter of great moment to his hearers, that "the braying of an ass wonliln't save the loco foco party." The labored effort he was malting, was ample evidence that he was under the impression that "the braying of an ass" would be of ser" vice to the Whig party. 0Hon.

The Last Resort. The Indiana Journal of Wednesday contains a long article to show that Governor Wright is in favor of the doctrine of intervention, as advocated by Kossuth; and to convict Governor Wright of extreme opinions, tbe editor quotes the following extract from the 8entinel of February last : " That Kossuth had said that the English people were ready, yea willing, to unite with the United States and the civilized world, in preventing the interference of any third party or government, in a contest between the subjects of any government and tbe government itself. If this be true, he said, we should not hesitate for a moment in throwing all our moral, and if need be, PHYSICAL FORCE, in favor of this great principle the right of any people to change their own form of government, to change their rulers and laws, whenever they become oppressive. That in all such conflicts no third party should be permitted to interfere; that he believed that a union of Great Britain and the United States, upon this principle, would do more to preserve tbe peace of the world, and in advancing the true progress of freedom, than any movement of the day." This is Gov. Wright's position. It is the position of the State Sentinel. We still maintain this position. National firmness and decision often prevent war. When the Republics of South America revolutionized, when modern Greece struggled for liberty, the sympathy of our nation was aroused, none more so than the great American statesman Henry Clay. Every effort for freedom in Ireland or any part of the old world, has and will excite a lively interest for success. This is the pulse that beats in unison with the American heart, and Whig politicians can't stop it. Nobody ever thought of involving this country in the war between Hungary and Austria We hold that every people by nature have the inalienable right to alter, amend, or abolish, their own form of government, and to substitute such forms as will be most conducive to their interest, and that no other nation ought to interfere. Any other doctrine would extinguish the last hope of the friends of freedom in the old world. This government should neither pledge itself for or against intervention, bin be governed by circum stances as they arise. Intervention may become necessary as a measure of our own national safety. Suppose France, Austria, and Russia, shonld combine against Great Britain H renmstances might make it necessary to interfere for our own safety. A general war in Europe would require the utmost vigilance to preserve ourselves. And circumstances alone must determine these great questions as they arise. Because Governor Wright sympathises with the oppressed pf Europe, and becanse he would rejoice when the last Throne should tumble to dost, is that any reason he should not he elected Governor of Indiana. " God blrtss me and my teife. my rem John

and his wife, us foar, and no more,'1' is a selfish prayer, which never was nttered by Joseph A. Wright. The Jonmal concludes it article with the resolution of the Whig National Convention, as follows: The position occupied by the Whig party on thi-. question was avowed by tbeni at the Baltimore Convention, as set forth in the following res lutton: "3. That while strugglin freedom everywhere enlists the warmest sympathy of the Whig party, we still adhere to the doctrines of Ihe Father of his Country, as announced in his Farewell Address, of keeping onrselves free from all entanjjling alliance with foreign countries, and of never quitting our own to stand upon foreign ground. That our missian as a Repnblie is not to propagate our opinions, or impose on oilier countries our form of government, by artifice or force; but to teach by example, and show by our success, moderation, and justi e, the blessings of self-government and the advantages of free institutions.-" Who will not say that such is the safe and truly the American doctrine ( Horace Greeley, the great organ of the Whig Prty, says of this resolution : ' This Anti-Intervention plank in the Whig Platform will cost Gen Scott some thousands of votes, and gain him not the first one. It wifl cost him five thousand votes in this State, and at least as many in proportion in Ohio and Wisconsin. And yet all the bitterest AntiIntervention States Virginia. South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi will go for Pierce and King, and will control their administration should they, through tbe aid and comfort rendered them by our illustrious blockheads, be elected. The ultra Slave Power necessarily rules a 'Democratic' Administration more rigidly than it ever can a Whig, becanse ft will have done more to bring it into existence. South Carolina sees this and acts upon it ; the European exiles do not. And thus we are doomed to a severe contest for States which we might and should have carried with a rush, and to lose others which want to vote for Scott all in punishment of the sin of being connected with such inveterate owls as concocted the Baltimore Platform." Strike his name from the List. The Indiana Journal and several other Whig papers in the State, published tbe name of W. H. Bufotd, Esq., formerly Sheriff of Carrol! county, as having recanted his democracy and gone over to the support of Scott and Graham. We did not believe the story at the time we saw it published, for we knew Mr. Boford well, but did not feel authorized ro contradict it. The New Albany Ledger publishes the following letter from Mr. Buford. It turns out, as we expected, to be a Whig roorback: A WHIG LIE NAILED. Delphi, Ikd., Sept. 1, 18S2 Messrs. Norman & Matthews Gentlemen ; In your paper of the 25tb ult., you make the following remark: "There are one or two other names giyen as seceders from the Democratic par'y, but that of Mr Buford is the only one we ever heard of before." I presume that I am the Mr. Buford alluded to as the Whig paper of this place set the report in circulation, and"then, when confronted with the falsehood, pretended that he meant another man! To such shifts is Whiggery driven. I desire to say to my friends throughout the Union, that if the report should again be put in circulation, that I have forsaken the Democratic party, each and all may pronounce the report a falsehood. If I Rve till tbe election. Pierce and King are a certain of my vote, as they are of any other Democrat's in (he Union. Very Respectfully. WILLIAM H. BUFORD Great Meeting of the Irih in Vernoa.
