TOM CORWIN.-PRACTlCAL LEGIsLA.
TION.


Judge Il, On old and respected citizen Of
Franklin county, rsialed TO Us some years since,
the following anccdore Of Gov. Corwin, which
we do not rccoileci TO have ever seen in print.
Al the lime the "Nagon Boy" was first sent TO
The Legislature BY the good people Of Warren,
he found q law on the Statute book providing Tor
The punishment Of certain offences Jy public
whipping. Il was no unusual thing al iha, day
10 see a whipping posi- in every Couu House
yard, where, whenever occasion required. the
stealers Of pigs and chickens were drawn up by
the Sheriff, and received "ihiuy-nine lashes on
the bare back, well laid on" Tom wos made
chairman Of the judiciary Committee, and being,
as Is well known. man who IS dead set against
all such relics Of bsrbarism as public whipping,
forthwith brought in a bill to repeal the aforesaid
enactment.
This bill met with considerable opposition from
the "Od HJukers," among whom was one Old
gentleman from the " Weslem Reserve, VINO vas
particularly Mortified al The idea Of repeating
what he termed the wiscst and most practical en-
sclmeut 10 our whole criminal code.
CorwIn made an eloquent speech when the
question Of engrOssment was before the House,
appealing 10 the members as christian legislators
and enlightened freemen Of the 18th century, 10
come up and erase this relic Of The dark ages
from The Statute Book Of The great republican
State OF Ohio. lie took his seattle House
completely electrified with the eloquent powers
Of the young orator. The old Yankee arose and
replied as follows:
Mr. Speaker:-All the gentleman from War
ren has said is well enough in lis way. | am
glad to see the young men OF our Stale growing
up inspired with those feelings Of philanthropy
which the gentleman has 50 eIoquen,lv given
uuerance 10. But that is not the Thing. We
must look al the mailer in practical light
Now ! can give one illustration in favor Of my
side Of The question. that will entirely upset all
the genrleman's fine spun theories. You know.
Mr.. Speaker, was born and raised in the State
OF Connecticut. A law similar to this has been
ior years IN force in that STATE, where It's effects
are most saulary. You once expose a rascal 10
ignominiouS disgrace of public whipping. and
he ceares out--leaves the State. and YOU are
never troubled with him afterwards. Out Of
hundreds | have known to be whipped there.
never knew one Of them 10 show his face in that
community afterwards"
The old gentleman sat down, satisfied that
his practical illustration" was a cIincher. and
would kiillhe bill. Corwin rose very grayey and
remarked:
81 have often endeavorad, Mr.. Speaker. to
solYe the question. why there was such an i'm
mense emigration from Connecticut to the West.
but always until now, without success. The
gentleman has explained ii to my entire satisfac.

From the National Era.
The Gem of Liberty.

On Plymouth's bleak and sterile rock,
A band OF Pilgrims stood,
Unsheltered from the tempest shock
Which shuok the gloomy wood.
And while the cold ungenial air
Hung on each rock and tree,
A frosty fringe, they planted there
The Gem OF Liberty.
The Indian from his covert gazed,
Now bow and hatchet fell
Awe filled his breast-he stood amazed,
As with magic spell.
He saw that bold ana fearless band,
Whose hearts beat high and free,
Resolved to make his native land,
The home OF Liberty.
The dusky vista of the wood
Were closed in darker night;
Still there the Pilgrim father stood
Awilderness in sight;
And yet, as memory backward traced
It's flight across the sea.
Before their God they knet around
The shrine OF Liberty.
The bloody stains of war since then,
Columbid's soil have wet
But DER her sunny hills and streams
That tree iswaving yet.
Would that its boughs might wider spread,
Until its branches twined,
A massive fortress rouad the world,
Protecting all mankind.
The slave would then throw off his chains,
Wars burning course would cease,
Ajar the prison gates would fly,
And men would live in peace.
The stately Tree, now green and fair,
Would lift its lofty head
Up to the clouds, and back to earth
Its heavenly blessings shed.

In lS43, I commenced the manufacture Of what
are now extensively known as "Improued Indian
Vegetable Pills. Sugar Coated," after expending
great deal in means and experiments. The pills
are said to be superior to any others on various
accounts. They are. erery bor,. made OF superior
materials, are extremely pleasant, and always ef-

them still pleasant, is also an original nren-
