 by reference ,o that great institute of reli- zion, a duty approaching it in importance, perhaps neX: to ii in obligation, 1t IS this. know you hardly expect me to address you on the popular political topics of the day. You rcud enough--you hear quite enough on those subjects. You expect nc only to meet | you, and to tender my profound thanks for this marked proof of your regard, and will kindly receive the assurances with which | tender ;o you, on parting, my atfectionate respects and best wishes.
 CatiarauguS COuniy-The las. number of the Calaraugus Whig contains the names of 22 substantial farmers in the town of Cold 1 Spring who have just renounccd all fellow 1 ship for Van Buren Loco Focoism, and eX- l press full confidence in the Farmer of North Bend. They say, "Wc believe in Pro- tective Tariffan duty on articles 0! luxu- ry for the support of Government, in prefer ence to direct tax (always wastctul and cX
 pensive in collection) on the property and labor of the country" And where is the in- tellgent and strictly honest man that will not join them in the following sentiment?
 "Wc have had enough of experiments and expedients-e enough ofprofcssions, with out .practice-enough of promises without performance, and, that it is time that power was taken out of the hands of men who do not know, or will not practice the true policy of Republican Government" An Anecdote of the 7Smes.-We will tell an original anecdote of as much interest as any murder in Philadelphia Literary Weekly l; l more for ours is true. Some hardy rough skins, from the pine knots up the Alleghany, was sauntering up town, and had their wild unpracticed ears arrested by the sounds of a piano. They could not make it out--it was neither jewsharp nor fiddle, yet it was first rate"-and being ovecome with curiosity, they all entered Qhree of thern) through an open door. In handsomely furnished room, one of our Whg girls was playing and sing ing Tippecanoe song. The Mountain boys hoped no offence, but wanted to hear her play "on that thing" 70, yes," said our young belle, with great humor and archness, i" but I can play nothing but Harrison tunes Are you for Harrison 2" "Yes, all of us," said they. And away she went-rattling off and singing some of her own most favorite Harrison songs. The lads appeared delight ed. "I If Jim only heard that, do you think he would vote for MT. Van Buren ?" said one to the others. "Who is Jim?' said our he- roine. "He is comrade of ours, and loco democrat, but think if he heard that song, if would turn him." <" Go fetch him." said she. no way daunted ,and the three started off, and directly returned with their stubborn and incredulous comrade. The young lady had now her ambition reused, and the young men being seated, she played and sang some of the most lively and popular Harrison airs, { while Jim himself had to join in the chorus, l thanked the lady, and said that he was no longer Van Buren man, but would go the ] " whole figure'' for Tippecanoe from this out, They all departed, highly pleased.-l So much for Pittsburg Whig girl, 1
 A StUmper.-The Whig State Central Committee at Albany having lately learued | that the Loco Foco Central Committee had l been circulating information among their 1 partizans in other states that they had a prospect of carrying this state, thought best to bring the said locofoco body to a test as to 1 the sincerity of their pretensions. To settle the matter nt once the whigs offered the loco committee bet of $l,OOO that they will name seren counties that Will give the whIg electoral ticket more majority than the Van Buren ticket will get in aU the administration counties in the State. The money is deposit. ed and has been several days waiting an ac- ceptance, to which the locos are challenged, but they have not yet seen fit to screw their courage up to the sticking point. The office holders must do something soon or acknowl- edge that they are down beyond hope.

 Too Coon TO BE Losr.-In 1928, when the contest between JACKSON and ADAMS was at l its height, VAN BUREN facetiously remarked | that MT. ADAMS belonged to family that could not REPEAT-that they were good four mile nags for a single heat, but always des- ! tined to be DIsTANcEp on the second trial ?- Wonder if he isn't inclined to think there is another nag of a somewhat similar character now entered for the second heat, who from will not only be distanced, but l " break down" in the first quarter, and leave his competitor to walk over the courseg

 The following juvenile anecdote was re- lated to me by gentleman from Waterbu- ry. consider it most too good to sink into oblivion; therefore I, send it for your dis posal. My informant says, that as he was passing through Waterbury street few days since he noticed number of little girls chanting the Harrison song in childish merriment: aside from the group were two daughters of Q late locofoco candidate for office, who appeared to take no part with their con1pa,,;ons, but remained silent; one of the company poi.ting towards them, jo- cosely exclaimed, "I suppose them girls are locos ;" to which one of the little girls feelingly yet unhesitatingly replied,-" No we aint locos neither we have got good Whig mother, and if Pa will be a Loco, we can't help it."-W. vValchmGn. 1
