Hon. JoHS GAYLE-DEAR Sin have your letter OF the

desire information for your satisfaction in regard to
the charges brought against from the South, the slave
question, have concluded to state briefly my position
While was in Congress, there was much agitation the
right of petition. My will doubtless be found recorded
uniformly in favor Of it, The rule upon which acted was,
that every citizen presenting respectful petition the body
that by the constitution had the power to grant refuse the
prayer of it, entitled to be heard and therefore the
on ought be received and considered If rghrand
sonabe, should be denied think all my votes, whether
the reception of petitions the consideration of resolu
tons, will be found consistent with this rule.

ing my former residence in Buffalo, have
papers memoranda refresh my recollection but think
time while in Congtess took occasion 10 in
substance my views the subject of slavery the States
Whether the remarks resored not am unable cay,
but the substance was that regarded slavery evil but
with which the National Government had nothing do
That by the constitution of the United States the whole power
that question vested in the several States where the
institution tolerated they regarded blessing they
had constitutional right 10 enjoy it. and if they regarded it
evil they had the power and knew best how apply

The Old woman's Race with Loco
motive.


In n cottage not very far from the we'll
known village of Ecclefachan, which can
boast of more bridges than even the mctrop-
oils itself, there resides gudewife who is
now in her 92d or 93d year, and is able, mott
withstauding, TO read without the aid of
spcctacles, and To use her legs with more
vigor than many who are her Juniors 10y Il
couple of score of years. From her cot
tage she commands view of the Caledo-
MAN Railway for nearly five miles, and Of
ten amnses herself with watching the trains
carecring along, specializing on the unco
changes which have taken place since the
DAYS of her girlhood. While discussing
these matters the other day she laid bet of
a crown piece with her son that she would
start from her house, which is three-quar-l
tiers of a nile from the line OF railway, as
soon az the mail train came IN sight, and
reach an accommodation bridge which it
crosses before the train came up. The pro-
posal agreed to, she killed up her pettlcoats
as soon as the locomotive showed its fiery
nose, and away she ran, three-tourihs of a
mile against four and three-quarters; but
for the one very elderly pair OF legs, for
the other the steam stecd rushing along with
more than the velocity of the race horse
For once, however, even steam was too
slow, aud, with wind in very fair order, the
nonagcnarian gained the bridge, ran below
and back again, ere the ponderous train
whizzed above the arch. During the race
she met younger female acquaintance,
who wished to speak with her. haze
nae time the noo--eh, see--i'm runnin' a
race wi the train, We see--eh, ch--unless
---eh, eh--ye keep up wi me" This her
friend attempted to do, hut soon found she
had bellows TO mend, and was forced TO give
in. The winner went homo triumphanIly,
nocketed the stakes with great gnsto, and
was 80 littlc the worse for her eNcrtions
that she offered 20 run the same distance
against her son, VITO, after the specimen he
had jus, had OF his mothers powers in the
racing line, very pruilenty declined the pro.
posal. There is evidently no great need
or sanitary reform among the hraes of An
nandale --.Scoich Paper.

A HoRsE BARNBURNER.-A correspondent
of the Boston Chronotype, writing from
Chambersburg, Pa, tells the following curious
story OF horse recently turning "barnburner:"
large and destructive fire originated in
the town OF Rocksburg, few miles from here,
week or two ago. A man having a sick
horse, took m into field, and placing some
dried herbs in tin pan, tied the same very
securely to the horses under jaw,and set the
herbs on fire, that the poor beast might en-
hale the fragrant odors of the burnt offering,
and 90 be cured of his ailings. Unfortunately
not only the odors, but the fame also, ascend.
ed the horse's nostrils, which caused him
to break from his owner, and in mad fury he
galloped away to his stable, the door of which
was open. The fire of the herbs was in an
instant conveyed 10 the dry hay, and in one
hour the barn large and valuable hotel, and
slx or seven other buildings, were levelled
VIM the ground. So much for scorching a
horses nose.

STRIKING CoMPARIsoN.-TheN N. Y. Tribune
says, the following beautiful comparison was
made by Rev. Henry Ward Beecher, in the
course of his sermon, on Sunday morning
last:
"When the chain of the surveyor strikes
the oak in the forest he is followed by the
woodman with his axe, who pauses ere he
gives the blow. He beholds the noble tree,
which has stood for a century, with lis bran
ches spreading far and wide, and yielding a
grateful shade. He looks not upon it in ad-
miration, but sighs and exclaims "Ah! how
long will it take me to cut it down 2" And
so in party strife, men behold in their way a
nobleman Of humanity, they pause not in adj
miration, but exclaim: ''How soon can VIC
cut him down a'
