MAINE.-We find the following extract Of a
letter from a gentleman IL Maine in the Salem
tMass) Register, of Moday + he 5th inst:
We shall try to give Clay nine certificates OF
Maino's approval Of his ability to manage the
affairs ofthis nation for the next four years.
We are now right in the midst of our having;
our hay crops will be but little short of last year
the quality bettor. Grain more promising than
for many years. Potatoes pretty good. but the
drought will cut short the crop some. Apples
very abundant. So that the farmers prospects,
with the assurance of Clay's election next No
vember, are very iattoring indeed. AS one Of
them, l feel as though | could afford to labor for
the com p~letion of the great victory that awaits
Mr.. Clay and his friends next November. o,
the chagrin that is in store for Mr.. Ciay's revil-
ers! With how much more power will il Ial
upon their heads when he takes the helm than
it ever did upon any other party from the time
of Adam do wn to March, l845.

A COURT IN IOWA-The following
account of a Court in Iowa is given in a lei
ter from the Upper Mississippi:
Iowa is now the finest frontier country in
the West, and is settling up very fast
Judge Williams related to me some amusing
scenes that be Witnessed, when he first start
ed on his circuit. for the purpose of organic
ing and holding his first courts among the
rude frontier people. In many counties they
had not had time even to erect any kind of
shelter for a court house. The best provis-
ION which could be made, was 10 form seats
of logs beneath the shade Of large tree, with
a raised seat near its body, for the Judge
The Sheriff would open court by mounting a
stump, or mound, near by, and crying "Oh
yes, oh yes &c. announcing to the whole
universe that the court was then opened, and
inviting all who had business, to attend
The Clerk sat on a block of wood, and used
a shingle on his knee for a desk. After the
Grand Jury were empannelled, and charged
by the Judge, they were sent in care of the
Sheriff to a large hollow, or ~ravine, in which
they could sitin conclaye beyond the view oil
the Court, or spectators A smaller hollow
or %ravine, was appropriated for the use ofthe
Petit Jury.
The grass grew very tall in the neighbor
hood, and if the Jurymen lay down in a ring
in the grass, they could still more perfectly
exclude themselves from observation. The
Judge said that, one day after having charg.
ed the Grand Jury, and dismissed them tc
their quarters in the large hollow, a tall, raw
boned, live Yankee looking man, with hat il
hand, addressed him as follows: "May i
please your honor, | wish to speak TO YOU
"Order, sir, what is it?" Judge" %continu
ed he, with the utmost gravity, els it righ
for fellows TO snake itin the grass?n "How
what is that sir?" "Why you see,n said the
Yankee, "there's some fellows who's tarne
fraid the Grand Jury will find something agir
'em, which they desarve, and they are snak
ing up TO the Grand Jury, on their bellies il
the grass, kind oftrying to hear what the Ju
ry are talking about.n "No,'' responded the
Judge, with as much gravity as be coulc
command, 81 do not allow of "Sneaking.'
Here, Mr.. Sheriff, go station a guard around
each Jury's hollow, and if a man is found
'Snaking," have him brought before me, and
will cause him TO be punished Indeed, il
this HSnaking is persisted in, | shall recon-
mend a special Act TO be passed, making it a
misdemeanor.n
The fact was, the Judge said, there were
present at the time, some barefooted vagrant
~rascals. who were probably Justly suspected
of horse stealing, and had 'snaked it" on the
Grand Jury, in order TO find out whether the
Jury intended to present them; and if so, &c
gain time by this clandestine warning and fee
the jurisdiction ofthe Courtb by escaping into
Missouri.

THE TEXAS CHICKEN.

The Lokies are all down in the mouth,
They just have hea I'd the news from the SOUL
mat The coon has gwen them another bite,
Ana the Texas chicken wouldn't fight.
Get out OF the way, your poke-root poiso
Can't hurt Clay nor Frelinghuysen.
The Lokies thought that they could vex US
1t they could fool The coon with Texas;
They swore twas a card that could not fail,
But the coon had 100 many rings on his tail,
Get out Of the way, &c.
John Tyler laid the Texas egg
And sent forthwith to the South to beg
That J ohm Calhoun would sit OIL the nest.
And TO hatch it out would do his best.
Get out Of the way. &c.
But soon as it saw the light Of day,
The Lokies stole the chicken away,
But how TO hide the theft was the deuse,
SO they stained the bird with poAeberIy juice.
Get out of the way, &c.
They took it South and turned it out,
And swere 'twouid put the coon 10 rout;
They opened the ring and cleared the pit,
But the devllsh bird wouldn't tight a bit,
Get out of the way. &c.
The Lokies, TO their sorrow, found
L hal TIE same ola coon was on the ground.
And when they brought their rooster nigh,
Oh, how he made the feathers fly!
Get out of the way. Sc.
IN 40 they tried a Northern man,
With the principles OF the Southern clan.
But now they've widely changed their tune
And are trying TO fool that same old coon.
Getou: OF the way, &c.
A Southern man with a Northern face,
They now have got to fill Vans place,
And vainly think TO win his election
By sw wearing that ne goes for protection.
Gel out ofthe way, &c,
And thinking to win the keystone State.
They've go4 George Dallas for his mate,
And backward now his name they spell,
In hopes to make il jingle we'll.
Get outof the way, &c,
T~histwisting and turning things about
Is a thing that George knows all about,
And spelling backwards is ust the game
That suits alike the man and name.
Get out of the way, SC,
In 40 the Lokies swofe it was wrong
For the wings TO sing a merry song,
But now they hook our songs and tunes,
And 1 we expect they'll hook our coons.
Get out OF the way, &c,
