county. (Pa..) which is strongly Locofoco, the
regular ticket had on it for the Legislature a
Dutciman named Moons. The Eocos swore they
would not go it-they were against coons, tool,
and toe.na. SO Mr. Rooms was backed off and
a Loco named Brodtread put in his place. This
incensed some Of Rooms friends, who instigated
Chester Butler, Wing, to come out stump
candidate. ard helped to elect him, though the
Wings had no, deemed il ,yo.th while to make a.

The Rev. Mr. Maflit, in the course Of one Of his
Lectures on Eloquence, used the following Lam
guage concerning the great American Statesman:
"Ihere was one in the Senate Chamber of the cap:
itol to whom listening thousands might crowd in
rapture, whatever the theme, and go away with
higher sentiments, with more exalted opinion of
nature and Of the capabilities of the human intel

was at the wheel, for some lime narrowly observ[

'ilallo, stranger, you're drupko'
