UNcAs.--Who has not heard or read OF
the great Mohegan Chief Uncas! There
is scarcely page Of the early history Of
Connecticut, in which he Is not mentioned, ,
as connected with some deed OF bold en-
prise. He was the friend of the whites,
and though for a century past his bones
have been permitted to rest without stone
to mark their place of seputre, yet it seems
his memory has been unforgoteh the while,
Tor the ladies of Norwich, with zeal which
does honor, as well to their pride Of ances-
try, as to their remembrance Of the nume-

over his remains. Peace to thy shade great

CHENANGo CouNTY.-The result in no
county has given more general satisfaction
than the Whg majority in Chenansn. 1t
is the residence of the Hon. John c. Clark,
the able and fearless Conservative member
of Congress. No where has the battle been
more fiercely fought, and every mean and
appliance that desperate and INSCRIPTIONS

against the Wings and Conservatives. But
aIl was III vain--the friends of the country

" HARRISON aud IYLER' floats triumphant

Clark, against whom the efforts of the Locos

ty ticket it is 800, and for Harrison, the
majority is still greater.--Bg6ato Pat.

JOHN RANDvLpH.-Those whu never saw
this remarkable accident in nature-who
never heard hun in Congress, have much
cause of regret. His manner in debate was
peculiarly his own--original and iorcible.
Though occasionally exclusive and exceed
ingiy erratlc, he scattered around hun flowers
So beautiful, that very few were offended at
his devious wanderngs, and followed him
with pleasure wherever he chose to lead
them. He never lost a good thought or
fine image that occurred to him, either in
conversation or solitude, but treasured it
{ in the book and volume of his BRAIN till it
was wanted, and he never failed to let it
out when h. had an opportunity. His in
vectlve like The deadly slroc wIlhered every
thing 1t swept across, and his opponent was
sure to quail aud shlver beneath his touch.
fi>s-s -ss.A.ssnls were burb8d with the most
corroding acrlmony, and the excessive Bit
terness of his feelings indicated ierucious
and mlsanlhroph c character. He nduiged
mure in satire than l,gc, more in invecllve
than in reasoning but there was iasci
nation about HIM, as nn orator, that few
could or were willing to resist. His cry
silence was something eloquent, and the
bare motion OF his finger or his head often
conveyed us much meaning as the most ii
nlshed Of elaborate sentence. But between
his delivered and published speeches there
is no comparison. In the latter you lose
that charm by which you were bound when
you listened to what he uttered the attl-
tude. gesticulation, emphasis, action ale
gone. The skeleton is left, but the spirit
has fled ; the body is there, but the soul is
NO more.
To Judge Of John Randolph as an orator,
he must have been heard when his mind
was ,n the plenitude of its power, and his
imagination still uxuriating in the delicious
imagegof youth and poetry. Burke seem.
ed to se bis model, and Shakespeare his con-
slant compaiion. From both he drew large
ly, and with the latter he was as familiar as
Alexander was with the works Of the i'm
mortal Homer. His mind and habits were
wholly averse to the necessary routine and
deta'is Of business. The mere laboIs of le-
gislaiOn were not suited to his temper nr
intellect, and both as member Of Commit
tee aud Of the House, he was al.nust nsut,
ticient.
Randolph is tall, meagic, and badly form
ed. His eyes were black aud percIn ng, his
complexion saow and cadiveruus hls hair
smoolhel duwn over his head, and tied IN
a cue; and his voice, though of no great
compass, was uncommonly clear and dis
tinct.

1t is rumored says the Buffalo Patriot of

boats on Lake Erie, has been destroyed by
fire. The boat left Cleveland for Buffalo
on Saturday, l4th INST, and has not been
heard of, though three boats had arrived
from up the Lake. On Sunday night, about
l or 2 o'clock, the wind blowing gale, a
very bright fire was observed off Sturgeon
Point towards the Canadian shore, and
fears are entertained lest it might be the
boat referred to.

REJorclNa FOR VlcToRy Every Wing
paper that we take up is full of congratu-
lations of it's readers, aid of the country,
for the success of Old Tip. Never before,
since the first note Of Independence broke
upon the thunders Of the Revolution, have
the people of this Republic had cause to be
thankful for any event, so much as for
that which delivers them from the corrup-
tions, schemes and villanies of the disor-
ganzng administration of Martin Van Bu-
rem. It is victory which we rightly re-
gard as a commencement Of all thuse
glorious principles, that found their way
nto existence, through the blood OF mar
tyr'd thousands, "a recuperative force re.
sultng from better and blighting expe-
siense of measures which derived their ori-
gin and being from selfshaess and iniqui-
ty, and we're sustained only to promote the
pscuniary interests Of an unprincipled fac
tion.
Con. Harrison comes into office with the
moral power of the people to sustain him.
Since the days of Washington, no Presi-
den, has possessed the sume means of car
rying into effect the comprehensive design
of our Republican form of Government, or Of
giving to its separate functions the vigor,
activity and elasticity. necessary to the
growth, prosperity and happiness Of great
people. The people look to him for bold
and decided correction of the abuses of his
predecessor and as the instrumeDtby which
the government is to be restored to that
purity in oil its departments, which prevailed
during the administration of his illustrious
prototype. They look to him, for an in
slant removal Of all those political charla-
tans, who have battened upon the spoils OF
Office, at tie expense Of principle and char
acter, aud an immediate termination to that
petty intrigue, which has rendered us MI
serable at home, and contemplate abroad
Tine will prove that they do not look to
him in vain.
