employed on some expedition an Indian to
Carry his baggage. Ofnis he was instantly
accused, and condemnGd to suffer the pun
ishment enacted for the offence, which was
to be publicly whipped on an ass. Great
intercession was made for him, but without
effect. After many solicitations, however,
respite for fortnight was obtained from the
governor; but just as this reached the prison
the criminal was stript, and mounted, and
exhibited for punishment. On hearing Of
the respite he said. Nay. the shame is suf-
fered; worse cannot be done; therefore, ex-
ecntioner, discharge your duty, and return
the tyrant his reprieve.' The sentence ac-
cordingly took its course, and the young
man endured it with the greatest cslmncss;
but he never after could lie brought t. asso-
ciate with gentlemen. He was constantly
wandering about by himself in a state Of
gloomy melancholy, and stunning the soci-
ETY. and converse of his fellow creatures.
Soon after the Governor was removed,
and another person sent in his stead, but A.
auirra was still seen to hover about the
palace. The Governors friends apprehen-
withdraw to some other place, he did SO,
and went to Los Reyes, three hundred and
twenty leagues from thence; but in a weeks
time Aqyirra was there, having followed
him on foot. The Viceroy then removed as
secretly as he could to Quito, which is four
hundred leagues from Los Reyes; there also
cane Aquirra in a short space oftime, tho
he travelled as before, without shoe& or
stockings. Finding himself SO closely pur-
sued, the Governor took another flight as
far as Cusco, which is FIVE hundred leagues
from Quito, but there also he was followed
by Aqurra. Being wearied by so. many
journeys, the Governor said, Il will fly the
villain no longer, but keep a guard about ms
and defy him;' which he did !; bat the gates
being one day open, and all the servants en-
gagged in play, Aquirra entered, and find
ing his enemy alone, stabbed him to the heart
and then despatched himself with the same
dagger.

Cold as the grave can make if
That faithful heart must be,
Whose light would not forsakeit
In parting thus from thee.
When hand in hand is warmly prest,
Alasl who docs not know,
That tears swell high in many breast
Too proud to let them flow.
Go--and may every sorrow
BE distant FROM thy way,
And every new tomorrow
Be happier than to-day
My sunshine smile through every storm,
And rainbows through the showers,
While thy mild heaven is clear and warm,
And never cold like ours.
IF innocence and beauty
Concliate human love,
thigh regard for duty
Can find friend above,
No power thy pleasures can destroy,
While love or friendship lives,
And will ask no purer Joy
Than this remembrance gives.

on a military service to South America, was
stationed at Potos, the governor of which

be employed in carrying the baggage Of Eu-

LITCHFIELD, FEBRUARY 9, 1927.

The Foreign Mission Society Of Litchfeld
County will hold its annual Meeting on Wed
nesday next, 18th inst. at l o'clock P. NJ. A
prayer meeting will be held at the Meeting
House, at 0 O'Clock A. NJ. of the same day.
We understand that Edward A. Newton, ESQ.
recently distinguished merchant at CaIcut-
ia, India, will attend as q delegate from the
American Board for Foreign Missions. To
many of our readers Mr.. Newton's character
is so well known, that nothing need be said to
urge their attendance at this interesting ami
versary. Mr.. Newton having witnessed much
of the desolation which idolatry has caused
in the earth, can, and doubtless will, present
facts, and use arguments to the meeting, in ia
vor of the missionary enterprise, which will
both interest the feelings, and enlist the heart
mare strongly in favour Of this benevolent I'M
dertakinS.

MnnLLENMA IS.

In the House of Repre- Atives, On
motion of Mr.. Mallary, the House resolv-
ed into a Committee of the whole, and
took up the bill for the exclusion of for
eign wOollens. The question being on
Mr.. Barney's amendment, proposing to in
sert 81 SO instead of 81 so as the second
minimum, Mr.. Davis, of Mass. spoke in
favor of the amendment, and Of the bill
generally. He was followed by Mr.. Bar
ney, who had varied his motion, so as to
insert minimum of 81 so between the
twominimumS of 40 cents and 81 so. Mr..
Barney said that independence was one of
the brightest features in the American char
acter and that if it was proper to be indie
pendent of foreigners for our principles of
government, it was equally so that we
should not be dependent upon them for our
garments. The amendment was then a.
dopted-ayes 80, noes 80. Mr.. Cambre-
leng then offered an amendment, the OBJ
ject of which was to prevent evasions OF
the revenue by importers. Mr.. Cembre-
leng said that he had yesterday submitted
calculation, intended to illustrate the OPP
Grafton Of the bill and although he under
stood it had been printed in time, he did
not see it on the tables of members he
NOV ed therefore that the consideration OF
the bill be postponed, and that the commit
tee take up bill in relation to certain
Swedish ships. The motion to postpone
was negatived-ayes 63, noes so. Mr..
Wicklife then offered an amendment, in
creasing the duties on imported spirits dis
titled from grain. He said that he was a
friend to protection. The staple of the
district of which he was the representative
was grain, and he wished that his constitl-
ents might be protected as well as the man.
ufacturers. The motion was negatived.
Mr.. Wright moved to strike out the word
" blankets" as he was not aware they were
to be protected. This motion was also
negatived. The committee then rose and
reported the bill as amended, when all the
amendments were agreed to by the House
Mrs4Cambreleng then renewed the mo-
ton he had made in the Committee for an
amendment of the bill, and moved that in
the mean time, the bill be laid on the table
and printed. The motion was negatived
ayes "a, noes 90. Mr.. Wood, of New
York, then spoke in favour of the protec-
ton of manufactures, but proposed an in
crease of the od valorem duty to the bill
before the House.
Mr.. Cambreleng commenced speech
in favor of his motion and in reply to Mr..

ton to adj ourn, which was carried-ayes

FOR THE COUNTY POST.
THE CHIEF MAG[STRACY.

AS the approaching election appears to be
exciting much interest in different parts of the
State, and as the time is now at hand, when
our citizens will be called upon to exercise
the invaluable privileges of free government;
it may not be improper to call the attention
of the public to an unexpected measure, a
dopted during the last session of the Legisla-
ture, by an assemblage of the members in Sc
cret conciave, to remove our present Chief
Magistrate from office; and to substitute in
his place member of Congress, in opposi-
ton to the wishes Of the friends of the present
Executive, who are believed to comprise a
large majority of the Electors of the State.
1t is now well understood that the assemblage
referred to, was induced to adopt this meas
ure in consequence ola communication made
to them, by gentleman from this county,
that Gov. WoLCorr declined being cand-
date for reelection: a communication which
IS we'll known to have been unauthorized, and
is believed to have originated in misappre-
hensiOn Of the wishes and motives of Gov.
WoLCoTT: and we take the liberty of saving
that our present Chief Magistrate, having been
called to the first station in the gift of the peo-
pie of this State, without the remOtest inter-
ference on his part, has persued, and will per-
sue the same line of conduct with respect to
continuance in Office; and viii, il it be desi-
red by the Electors. devote his time and tai
ents to the executive duties in discharcing
which, he'has been eminently successful En-
tcrtaining as we do high opinion of Gov.

honour, In the fnll possession ofall his facul.

BILE services which has rendered the repub'
lick, who was the associate Of Washington t.
Adams, participated largely in their councils
and aided them ia laying the foundations of
our most valuable Institutions, who has dis
charged the duties of his present office with
ability, frmness, and impartiality, and who
has kept aIoOf from every species of intrigue,
and has emphatically been the Governor OF
the State and not of a party; it is not with
out pain we witness an effort to drive him
from our pubck Councils, and to deprive the
State of services, for which no adequate sub
stitute will be obtained. 1t is confidently ex-
pected however that a different result will be
accomplished by the Electors at the polls;
and while it will be no part of the policy Of
the friends of Mr.. WoLCoTT to impeach the
motives of others, we wish it to beunderst3ad
that they intend to give him a support, the
features of which will be firmness and liberal
ity, and the event we hope, entire success.
