LABoRINa MAN.
 Mr. Ednor-O that could vvield the descriptive pen of political demagogue or was possessed of the elogHenee of -hoder! then would give the ireemen of this county an unbiased history of the wonderful performance oi the Meiiow Dram-y which was had at the truly Republican House ia this town on Tuesday night last week.
 The curtain rose at half past o'clock precisely and the presented the mseves ne by one to the astonished audience; but for a.temp, to give your readers a description of se wonderful "Stars'' which made their appearance would be im- possible. First and for emost that " Everlasting great, Star that has been bfghlenng and brighienng by the friction of twelve fifteen hundred dollars per year for number of years past until he has grown fat, and kicks at the very party that has been nsru- mental in warming him into exsreace. He referred in his speech to the days of Selleck Osborn and his oppressors and finally wound of with thrus, a. fed eralism, and recommending unanimity among those who are willing to support him for School Comms- sioner. Next star of less magniude--a star whose briancy WIS not discovered by the party Ii, he first had perspective view of the Post Office ahead. He came on the stage and danced and shul- fed short time the uf fi.e six huadred per year, and then suddenly made his exit by nd- ing in his gestures and looks that that old Fceralso eration Clay Elector should be run again for repre- sentative the coming spring. The next that come 10 the board was from the neghborhood of" Still River," of " anoaymous'' memory; and what he lack ed in words made up n smacking of lips and four shes of the head and hands. He Jgged short time to the of the Pos,-of6ce, and then again the tune of District Attorney, alternately changing from one the other, suited his convenience, until he become surfeed with love for the dear people.
 Next arose, as from the ashes of old Federalism, that mighty star, that real dsnterested democrat, whose love was " all for the people and little for 1 hmself;" who has danced the dfTeren. political boards since the year eighteen hundred, and finally received from the hands of the party the office of de- puty rather than he should leave the stage or go over to the enemy. This star has always been considered bright for acting the part of clown in the po- lcal Drama, he could talk about half dozen things al one lme and has acted the part of many different political characters in many years the boards. He fired gun at his old friend Federalism, then another toleraonists and third whiggery, until his ammunition become exhausted, when this " sar sal down with consciousness that he had aI- ways acted for the dear people, and asked nothing for hmee eiC nor sought neither " loaves fishes" There were other mighty "e,ars' present, such shine the New-Milford Post.office and his Echo" from Washington; but in consequence of being overload ed with Pennsylvania Bank news. were not able to take any par. therein. Supernumeraries after other made their appearance like shooting s.ars.- We therefore not able to give correct descrip- tion of their disin,eresed hriliancy.
