Anecdote of a Member of Congress.

The Pittsburgh Journal relates the following an
ecdote of Mcconnell within a few years member
of Congress from Alabama 1t is true, just as re-
lated:
Mcconnell then a member of Congress stood at
the bar of one of the principal hotels in Washing
ton. Beside him, and drinking with him, was one
who without vrtuous or generous feeling, had
enjoyed all the advantages which his mate and un-
governable vices had to great extent forfeited
He was Stunned by the good; but Mr.. Mcdonnell
had long since left the choice of his companions to
chance and then chance was greatly untoWard.-
The individual referred to- spoke ofthe Bible, sneer-
ed at its authority rdculed its nunctons, repeat
ed the most sacred passages with ribald comments.
Mcconnell who had been all excitement and exhil-
Grafton, stood silent and sadly by, without word
or remark. The blasphemer continued in Ian
guage more and more offensive, and lit was remark
ed that the eye of Mcconnell flashed even with a
deeper glow than that which dissipation had fixed
there. AT length he stepped forward and said
stop, my friend. From the moment first looked
into your face, feared you were a scoundrel, for
God has set the mark of Cain upon your forehead

every moment of whose life upbraids him. But
have one green spot still left in my heart-I love my
wife, and my wife loves the Bible. believe II
what my wife believes, and her faith is in the Bible
1t has made her an angel earth, it must be true
the man who derides it insults her and will hold
that man accountable, unto death, for the wrong

EE During Polk's administration, there was
one single Whig paper subscribed for by the Cabi-
net Departments Taylor's Cabinet have ordered
about half of the Locofoco papers discontinued,
which was of no inconsiderable number, and have
subscribed for several Wing journals And what,
dear reader, do you think these honest loco papers
call this. Why prescription of course. That is
their whining cry now. No sooner is there dis
honest Office holder removed, or locofoco paper
discontinued, than general howl of prescription
is raised by all the ours of the last administration
For nearly forty years have these fellows gnawed
at the vitals of our country and gutted themselves
with its treasurers and now when one of them is
removed from office, they think they have been hor-
ribly outraged. Out upon such miserable dema
gogues and knaves. They should be held in uttel
contempt and scorn by honest men of all parties

The Stockholders in the Lower Sandusky Plank
Road Company, met in this place on Tuesday last
and proceeded TO elect five Directors Messrs.
James Justice, L. O. Rawson, John r. Pease, c..
W. Foster and James Vallett were nearly unani-
mously elected by the company. The Directors
have chosen James Justice as their President, l..
@. Rawson Secretary and John R. Pease Treasur-
er. They have already made an assessment OF 10
per cent on the capital stock to be paid in by the
18th of June. They have also authorized the re-
ceving of proposals for furnishing the company
with lumber, &c James Justice is authorized to
receive proposals.
From the above our readers will see that the
building of the road is thing decided upon, that ii
is a fixed fact Forty thousand dollars stock has
been taken, a sufficient amount to build the road
from here to Rome. Ten thousand dollars more
which will undoubtedly be taken, will enable the
company to build branch to Fort Seneca. Far

COLUMBUS has also elected Wing Mayor, Mar

Councilmen, by an average majority of about two
or three hundred. The Journal says the vote was
unusually large, and that the most strenuous Sc
cret exertions had been made by the Locotoeos, to
secure victory. 1t is gratifying to know that the
capital of our State is thoroughly Wing, and this
victory, it is believed, was brought about by the

DimcuItY Coming.

Sometime in January last the Governor of Vir-
ginia made arequistion upon the Governor of Ohio
for the person Of Joseph Venable. " negro slave,
the property of Samuel S. Brown" The requisi
ton was refused in way to gall the feelings of
Governor Floyd of Virginia, very much, but being
patient man, and desirous of avoiding undig-
nifed quarrel with such little chit of State as
Ohio is, when compared, in age and President-giy-
ing, to Virginia, he abated his consequence SO far
as to make second requisition for the "man
slave" which Jared no better than the first one
There are no armies in Virginia, though there is a
special guard for the Governor nor is there power
to raise one, and it is well there is not; for had 1t
been otherwise we doubt not the doughty Govern
or thus contemptuously treated would have vim
dcated the chivaly and hot blood of Virginia, by
an instant and sweeping invasion. There was no
help for it but to turn to the legislature, and IN
most dolorous document he directs the attention to
the mortifying insult which has been put upon
proud old Virginia, and suggests the direct conse-
quenc as being inevitable, unless "their wisdom
will devise some means of preventing similar oe-
currances in future. North American

About .fve Locofocos to one Whigt
Will any honest man say this division fairly rep
resents the relative strength of the two great par
ties? Suppose it be assumed that the public OH
ces ought to be equally enjoyed by honest faithful
and capable men of all parties In that case the
Wings have much to receive, before they are pia-
ced on footing of equality for the future and
more still, if reclamation be insisted upon for the
past. The inequality which exists at Washington
we say will be found about the average throughout
the country, Those who groan loudest, and are
boldest in denunciation, the very men who have
participated in the monopoly the longest, and most
fear that if simple justice is done they will be
among the first discharged! Many of these are
also conscious that the of honesty, capacity
and faithful discharge of official duty they have
no just right to be retained in the public service
Reform has been called for, by the people, and re-
form is expected, whether the unjust cry of pro-
scription be kept up or suffer to subside.

ETIQUETTE.

in the rain, it is not proper to lend her an umbre-
Ia but you ought to escort her home. Suppose
you are not sufficiently acquainted to make that of
fer, would pou allow lady to stand the peting OF
the pittless storm without the loan of your UNI
brella? We have frequently loaned our UNI
brella to an unknown lady in a shower, and always
received it again; whereas we have had many bor-
rowed and stolen by gentlemen, without hope OF
recovery. One stole our comfortable protector in
the open court, and another exchanged parasol
for large and stout one, The Home journal
says that if two ladies are caught in the Storm you
may lend them your paroptue. That arises from
the old saying that two spoils compeny.

Elections,

The recent election in Connecticut has resulted
in the election of three Locofocos and one Wing to
Congress, & majority of Wings to the Legislature
There was no choice by the people for Governor,
consequently the Legislature will have to choose
one, and undoubtedly the Whig candidate will be
selected, as it is now pretty certain they have
majority in that body.
On the vote for members of Congress, there was
a combination of the Locofocos and Free Sollers,
which brought about the unexpected result IN
that delegation, There appears to be general
understanding on all sides, that there is to be a
general coalition between these two parties. A
most fit and proper finale. The Free Soil party
was conceived in Locofocoism, born and lived IN
Locofocoism, and died in Locofocosm. 1t remains
to be seen, whether those who really sincere IN
their opposition to slavery and feel desirous of rid
ing our country from this disgraceful debasing,
bhehting and contaminating sin, are willing to
seal the compact-wiling to be transferred over to
the Locofoco party, and renounce all their former
opinions and fond hopes of a speedy and happy
liberation from bondage of the unfortunate African
