JouN DAVIS, WIFE.

Congress, VINO rclatcu the IOllOWlng III fei-
erence 10 Mrs. Davis. How much, il any
should be regarded as flight OF the inn
agnation,' we cannot say. This, however
we know--that Mrs. Davis is an extraordl-
nary woman, audit was said other at Wor-
ccster, at the time of the late convention,
that she could make as good a speech as
her husband. She isa sister ofGeo. Ban
croft. but how unlike him She is very
plain in her manners, and possesses a very
large share Of good common sense. She
once pursued the respectable occupation Of
nilliner. But to the extract from the
address Of Mr.. IIalstead -
Northampton GSeffe.
Al the recent Wing Convention held at
Worcester in the State of Massachusetts, the
lady ofHonest John Davis, the present wor-
fhv and able Senator from that State, sent
word 10 the committee arrangements that
she had nine beds, in which she could ac-
commodate nine Wing delegates, or,if they
were good naiured men, eighteen and
she invited 40 or 80 of the delegates to dine
with her. Havingmadeall the preparations
for the invited guests, she repaired to the
Convention TO hear the Wing oratogs.-
After the speaking was over she hurried
home for the purpose OF receiving her ex-
pected company but she had scarcely
reached her house before the sound Of
martial music saluted her ear.-She APP
preached the window, and there saw, drawn
up before tie door, band Of $50 or goo
men, who sent deputation TO say that they
would do themselves the honor Of taking
dinner with her. AT this unexpected an
nunciaiion her woman's heart at FIRST sunk
within her, but immeda tely the good old
genuine Wing spirit which is always equal
10 any emergency, particularly when it
has dash Of Bunker Hill blood in it,) rail-
lied, and by its recuperative energy, at once
restored her TO her vented composure.-
And what do you think she said 70 Gentle
men, said she, the string my door is
never pulled in. You are welcome TO par
take with me Of my log cabin fare. Walk
in, gentlemen They did walk in
and she at once set about enlarging her
tables and replenishing her board with FRO
visions for this accession of unexpected
y guests and with that admirable manage
mcnt which is characteristic of Yankee as
well as Jersey matrons. she was soon able
