The Einh District.

From all parts Of this Congressional District we
hear the most hattering accounts in favor of the De-
mocratic nominee, Judge Wick. The Wing leaders
here have been anxiously looking for aud endeavoring
to produce disaffection among our party, but they find
1t a ~fruitless labor. Instead of any event of this kind.
if we can judge from present appearances, Judge
Wick will not only receive the united Democratic
support, but will also get the votes of many of the
honest Wing rank and file. The latter see that Pre-
sident Polk is disposed to administer the duties de-
volving upon him SO as to promote the true interests,
prosperity and glory of the whole American people.
This is all that the honest majority of even the Wing
party desire and they are not just now willing to
make a ~factious opposition, merely to promote the
ambitious schemes of heartless party managers. They
are willing to give the President fair play and a fair
trial and this is the reason why Judge Wick will be
elected, as he ought to be, by a large majority.

Ninth District.

T Every thing looks well for the Democratic Candi-
date in the Ninth Congressional District. The peo-
pie seem to have become heartily tired Of Mr.. Sam
pie, and his unpatriotic course in the last Congress.
They have no notion of sending him again, TO repre-
sent Mexican or British policy, instead of their own.
We published an extract of a letter last week, show
ing that the people of his district would not turn out
to hear his speeches, and now we have the following,
from the Tocsin. In favor of Cathcart, his competitor
&C w. Cathcart, our next NJ. c. is doing up
the business for the campaign just about right. The
field is ripe for the harvest, and Charley is putting in
Tor a tall crop Our friends In Porter and Lake are
In the very best spirits. At Deep River, there was q
great turnout-over three hundred having been pres
ent to hear Mr.. c. We can safely calculate, we
think, on at least one hundred and fifty majority for
the democratic nominee.
The emigration vote in the two counties is large
and, like a jug handle, all on one side. There are
also frequent changes from ~wbiggery to democracy as
we are credibly informed.

Rev. h Hall.

The following anecdotes are related of the late
Rev. Robert Hall:
"He had one day attended a church, where a yourg
minister preached on ONE public occasion. 1t so
happened that the preacher met Mr.. Hall afterwards,
at dinner, at the house of a mutual friend. The young
man was very anxious to hear MIR. Halls opinion of
his discourse, and very pertinaciously piled the great
man with questions respecting it. Hall endured the
annoyance, for some time, with great patience. He
did not wish to hurt the young mans feelings; but
he could not, conscientiously, laud his sermon. AT
length, worried beyond endurance, be said
"Well, sir, there was one fine passage-andI liked
it much, sir-much."
The young divine rubbed his hands, in high glee,
and pressed Mr.. Hall to name ii.
"Why, sir" replied Hall, the passage | allude to
was-your passage from the pulpit to tie uestry!'
A young lady sent her album to him, and he re-
turned it with the following. written upon one of its
leaves
cit is my humble opinion that albums are very
foolish things. ROBERT HALL"
His marriage was a singular one. One day,
whilst ~alighting at a friends door, for the purpose of
dining with him, he was joked on his bachelorhood.
He said nothing but whilst at table was observed to
take particular notice of the servant girl who came
in to replenish tie fire. After dinner he went into
the garden, sent for the young woman, and asked her
to marry him. In her establishment she ran away and
said she believed MIR. Hall had gone mad again-(he
had been once deranged.) Her master, like herself,
was surprised; and on his speaking with Mr.. Hall on
the subject, the latter declared his intention of marry
ing the girl, who. he said, had taken his fancy by the
manner in which she put the Goals on. They were
married and lived happily together. His widow
survives him."

On the breast Of the billow We hear his low wall,
We have put NJ the Iudder and furled up the sail.
No signal from Heav'n will show where he be;
And wheIeer he be driven we men cannot see.
Hoi Carlo Newfoundland go follow his cry,
As it g1spingiy answers the sea-maaners sigh;
The boat shall be lowered, the men shall Delay,

Away, fetch him out. fetch him up seize him oh

Hark bear a hand-bIing a light not a sound,

Russell tells a rich story about this song, that may
be new to some OF our readers. 1t appears that the
first time he lad the honor of singing it to the
American people," was at Niblo's, in New York,
soon after his return from Europe. He had announced
that he would bring out some of his new pieces, and
the houses was crowded from f~ootlights to gallery with
the fashionables of the city. The great favorite of
the I" Napoleon Qf .sorgf' was this Newfoundland
Dog. He performed It in his best voice, and the
audience were in raptures. But, to his no small con-
fusion, as he was bowling himself off the stage, he
heard a shrill sharp Yankee voice, directly opposite
the stage, sing out,
an sster RUSSELL"
Russell stopped, and the audience were hushed in
a moment.
"Mister Russell" says the Yankee, show do due %
Every WE'LL - says Russell, scarcely knowing what
he said.
"Mr. Russell" continues the Yankee, pointing to
a raw-boDe seven-foOter, this is my friend, John
Peters, from Connecticut - 'praps you don't know
John hay !' vt,--
"~Indeed, | do not, SIR says Russell.
"Wal, he's got the biggest kind o relations. He
wants me to ak you, Mr.. Russell, whether that are
dog was a black 'un or a white 'un.'
Indeed, | cannot tell" ~
You can't! wal. I'm sorry. John says, if twas
a black 'un, he wouldn't mind taking a pup or two"
To any one who has listened to the touching pathos
of the song, and can picture to himself the place and
the audience-who remembers Russells Frenchiied
manner, and knows the peculiar twang Of a genuine
Yankees voice, the incident will be fully appreciated
The uproar that followed you should hear Russell
describe. As for himself. he says, he shot behind the
curtain and was not able to sing for half an hour.

New Books.

Among the vast number of new enterprises spring
ing up in this place at the present day, and that I'M
der a healthy state of things and a democratic adj
ministration, none appear to advance with more rapid
strides than our book establishments. Another new
one has been added to the list by Mr.. TURNER, who
has a very fine and selected variety of books, station
cry, &C. Many of his books are seldom to be found
in western bookstores and we advise our friends to
give him a call. He has also a fine assortment of
Catholic books.

A Love SroRY.-In the North Adams Transcript
a story is related of a fair damsel in that town, who
found it somewhat difficult to decide between rival
suitors for her hand, and made them both agree TO
accompany her to the Office of the Squire where
she promised to make her selection, on condition that
the rejected sutton should pay the marriage fee, pre-
sent her with five dollars, and then depart the town
for the space of one year. The Transcript says that
this bit Of a drama was actually performed, and the
desolate one left town per agreement.

The WAY TO PLANT PEAs.-A correspondent of
the Springfield Republican recommends, as the best
way 10 plant peas, TO put six in each hill of ~potstoes.
In this way, he says, one saves bushing, and gets two
crops from the Same ground.
The following is a new method of grating grapes.
Take short pieces Of wild or other vines, and insert
grape cuttings into them, and bury them in the ground.
The vine will grow better and faster than in any other
way.

AN oLD-ScHOOL NEeRO.-The editor of the Barre

AN OLD-ScHooL NEeRo.-The editor of the Barre
Gazette, writing from Richmond, Virginia, says:
The u. S. Circuit Court is now in session here,
held by Chief Justice fancy. l was present at the
opening of the court on Monday and observed an aged
negro dressed in a long black coat, small clothes and
stockings, knee buckles and other characteristics of
fashion sixty years ago. As the Chief Justice en-
tered the door, the old fellow rose and was greeted by
the head of the judiciary with as much civility as if
he had been the chief executive magistrate The
Chief Justice and. the. District Judge shook him cor
daily by the hand and made inquiries for his health.
On inquiry | found that he was the slave and favorite
body servant of the late Chief Justice Marshall,
whose memory the faithful negro cherishes in most
aifectionate remembrance. He is but a nominal slave,
now, preferring like many others here not to be free.
He dresses in precisely the same style of his distin-
guIshed owner, and insists on being at the door.of the
court room, as in days of yore, he takes the hat of
the Chief Justice, fills his glass of water, and does
several other Offices as proudly as if be were the IT,
tied chamberlain of a king, and is treated with as
much consideration by the very urbane and popular
%jurist, as his old master could have done.

A SECRET OUr.-A letter from Washington in the
Richmond Enquirer, thus betrays a little secret of the
private character and conduct of Messrs. Blair and
Rives, worth repeating now it is out:
1t has become of late quite ''the go' with newspa-
per gossips to ''run on" about the personal beauty of
Francis P. Blair, Esq. There is no accounting for
tastes 50 | will not undertake to quarrel with my
neighbor for the want of it-with those who are more
struck with his teeth, than with the highly intellec-
tual contour of his head and the sparkling intelligence
of his eye. "Handsome is as handsome does,'' is a
good old nursery ''saw,' and it applies most admira-
bly, to the case in point, as you will admit when | tell
you, that Francis Z. Blair, and his partner have, with
in four years, absolutely given away some ten thou
sand dollars, lin such a, manner too as to disguise the
fact from tie recipieiits) to persons who lost their en-
%ployment under Government. in this city, on the ac-
cession of the late ruthless Wing administration. 1t
was but necessary for one to have fallen under the OPP
Grafton of Mr.. Clay's rule, ave can't afford to keep
your friends an office, SIR" to find in them friends
whose active sympathy asked no reward but inward
satisfaction at having done a good deed. l do not
believe that Messrs. Blair and Rives know any one is
apprized of the fact. 1t therefore reflects so much
the more credit on them and proves, that although
Mr.. Blair's ''outer-man'' is none of the handsomest,
yet 1t covers a heart as graceful as it is grateful.

OUTRAGE AT NAUvoo.-The Warsaw Signal has
late accounts fro,a Nauvoo. A Mr.. Hyde who visited
the city on business having given offence to the saints,
had been grossly abused and beSmeared with filth.
The same paper states that a Mormon Elder, named
Mcbride, residing in Camp Creek neighbcrhood, had
seduced his two daughters, one of whom had left him;
that some of the n~eighbors collected and gave him
thirty-nine lashes and ordered him to leave the country.
The story is q hard one to believe.

INDIANA DEBT AND PUBLIC WoRKs-The debt of
Indiana is twelve millions of dollars. One million
and a quarter domestic debt--the balance foreign.
For three millions of the stock, the State never re-
ceivcd a cent. This debt amounts to one-tenth of the
entire taxable list, real and PERSONAL pretty heavy
mortgage. In lS4l, the people submitted to a tax of
four mills on the dollar. Her system of g Internal
Improvements - commenced nine years ago. Nine
works were commenced; not one has been completed.
And the State has no revenue of any Importance,
except from taxation. These results are the fruits of
Wing ascendancy in Indiana.

A PLEASANT MIsTAKE.-The Boston Times SAYS a

clasped a young lady round the waist, and uttering a
cry of JOY, printed several kisses upon her lips with
the q~uickness Of thought. On coming to an expla-
nation, it was found that the young gentleman had
mistaken the lady for her twin sister, whom be was
counting. The Times thinks it dangerous to marry a
lady who has a twin sister, as a man might be kiss
ing somebody else's wife when he thought he had his
own.

DEMOCRATIC ASSOCIATION OF WASHINGTON CRY.
I'VE observe that John c. Rives, Esq, one of the
proprietors of the Globe, has been recently elected
President Of the Democratic Association of Washing
ton city. This energetic Central Association rendered
very great service to the Democratic party during the
late Presidential campaign, and we are pleased to see
that they are determined TO keep up their organization
and be ready to fight the next political battle with the
same ability, talent and patriotism, that they exhibited
in the campaign of 1914. This association, during
the late contest, was made up entirely Of mechanics
and working men, wholly unconnected with the Gov
eminent, and such was their energy and perseverance,
that they opened a correspondence with the leading
Democrats in every Congressional District in the
United States, and prepared, printed and distributed
three millions and a half Of political tracts and PAM
phets. We learn that the. proprietors of the. Globe
intend presenting the Association with funds sufficient
to erect a Hall, where u Democratic Reading Room
will be established, and where political information
on all the great subjects which agitate the country
can be obtained. An association of this kind, per-
manently established and acting in concert with SINH
lar associations in the various States, will add greatly
to the success of the Democratic party in its future
struggles with Federalism.
