Retort of a witness.

On one occasion Mr.. James ". Buff
um, of Lynn, Mass, was under cross
examination by an attorney named Lord
who did his best to perplex and brow
beat him SO as TO overset the testimony
he had given against his client. The
question was something relating to ma
chinery, and Mr.. Buffum had used the
word .'philosophically" in his evidence.
Mr.. Lord continually harped upon this
phrase, and underworld to make the wit
ness ridiculous in the eyes of the Jury.
Al last he enquired--
"Pray, Mr.. Witness, as you seem to
be great philosopher, can you tell me
what the consequence would be if the
air should be exhausted from hogs.

"Indeed, sir!" pursued the counsel,

why the head should fall in iirstl'
Yes, sir" returned Mr.. Bufrum, "il
is because hogsheads are like some law.
yers-their heads are their Weakesl

The roar of the court bm acknowl-
edged the victory of the witness over
the counsel; and if the learned gentle
man were not known lhenceforward, by
way of distinction, by the soubriquet
of "Hogshead Lord it was not for
want of an occasion.

A Row AT HARTFORD Lind
lately gave concert in the land OF stea-
dy habits, at Hartford, CT. The church
used for the occasion was filled almost
10 suffoca,ion. though the price of tickets
ranged from So to $40. A crowd of
about 1000 gathered outside of the
church who could not get in. The win
dows and blinds of the church were
closed. This cansed great tumul.,
with shouts and shrieks, disconcerting
the audience, aid absolutely preventing
them from hearing the singing. Some
windows were smashed, and at the close
of the concert, Jenny vas struggled out
at the back door, and left for Springfield.
This was another Pittsburgh affair, and
very disgraceful. The crowd after
wards rallied about the State House,
but they finally dispersed, doing but lit
tie mischief. The steady habits Of old
Connecticut are undergoing change.

n We invite the particular and care
full attention of the Burlington State Ga.
zette, to the following, which we copy
from the Louisville Journal.
The Gazette claims, that the compro,
mise, is not only Democratic mearure,
but that the Democratic party, composed
of such men as Gen. Trousdale, Jeff.
Davis, Gen. Quitman, Rhett, Chase &
Co.. is the only party that sustains il
and that to them, all must now look for
the salvation of the Union. Heaven
defend our beloved country from such a
saluation as these men would secure to
it:
seen. Trousdale, the Locofoco cam
didate for Governor of Tennessee, sets
no bounds to his fury in denouncing the
compromise. He denounces it as fierce
ly as Gov. Quitman or JEFF. Davis ever
did. He calls il ssiniquitous, ''infa-
NOUS" ..execrable," "damnable." New
ertheless, the Locofoco organ at Nash.
vile proclaims oracularly and solemnly
that the only possible soay to saue the
compromise Is to elect Trousdale ~!
Ifimpndence ever travels beyond that,
il will wear its shoes and its feet out in
the journey"

Our Candidates.

Our Candidates have now visited most
of the people in the County, as well as
the opposition Candidates, and the Peo-
pie have had a fair chance TO Judge of
the qualifications and capability of each
of them. We do not wish in the least,
to disparage the standing or qualifca-
tons of the opposition Candidates, but,
we believe, we but speak the sentiments
of majority of the people, when we
say, that our Candidates, will not only
compare favorably with them, but will
stand ahead of them.
From some cause or other, our coun-
~ finances, and our laws are in bad
condition. The first is no doubt some
what owing to extrayagant and improp-
er Legislation, which has increased our
taxes, but it must be mainly owing to
mismanagement or extravaganza on the
part Of our county officers. Our bad
and improper laws, are entirely owing to
the people electing incompetent and de-
signing men to the legislature. But the
voters Of the county, one and all, ought
to reflect, that for all these evils, the par
ty in power, the Democrats. are respon-
sible--are to blame; and If you wish to
see a reform in your laws and county af-
fairs, you must first make change in
your officers, at the ballot box. But,
some may say. the principal fault is with
the legislature, they made the odious and
oppressive Road Law, and increased our
taxes by extravagant allowances, and
we will elect and send better men to the
legislature the next time, and thus cor
rect the eva. We reply, that this is all
well enough; but, let all remember, that
if they now place the Democratic Cam
didates in the county offices, they will
only increase their power and influence
in the county to such a. degree, that, al
the next Legislative election, they will
have the power in all probability, yea,
it is almost certain, 10 secure the cleo
ton of the same kind of men, and then,
there will be no chance Of a repeal Of
baG laws, or of reform Of the grievan-
ces complained Of. None can deny,
tina: IA part of the fault has been with
those who manage our county finances,
and to reach and rectify the Whoie evil,
you must begin rightly, making change
in your county officers, and, at the prop
J er time send up to the Capitol the right
kind Of men to complete there. what
your county officers have began here at
home.

w "heSOfUeu, Il nat We nave OeHeiu
with admiration the conciliatory, firm
and patriotic course of WILLARD FILL
MORE, as President of the United States.
upon the exciting subjects which have
agitated the country during bis Admins
tration; and while we would not with
hold the due need Of praise from the
great men, both in his Cabinet and out
of it, by whose wise counsels he has
been assisted, and the country served.
we believe from his whole history as a
Wing, public man and true patriot,
that he as fully represents Wing feeling.
and is as acceptable an embodiment of
the Wing mind, upon great public ques-
tons, as any Of the distinguished sup
porters of the cause, and we would
most cheerfulIy rally under him as the
standard bearer of our party in the COM
ing Presidential contest"
We fn3 the above resolution at the
close of a series of spirited resolutions,
passed by Wing Convention in Du-
buque county, in this State, which re-
Gently convened in Vernon township, in
that county.
1t BODIES good to the country, and
must be refreshing and cheering to the
heart of every lover of the Union, to
witness the bold and enthusiastic stand
taken by large majority Of the people
of all sections of the country, and espe-
cially, by the present Wing administra-
ton, and the great national Wing party,
in favor of the Compromise measures,
which we look upon as the Golden Cord
that is to bind together, in fraternal affec-
ton, this glorious Union forever.
II does but sheer justice to Mr.. FILL
MORE and his able Cabinet, who have,
notwithstanding the miserable abuse and
invective of disunionisls of all sections,
stood up manfully for the adjustment
measures and the Union. The proud
and enviable position now occupied by
the President, is daily endearing him
more and more to the hearts of the
American people, and, although we are
among the number Of those who are OPP
posed TO agitating the subject at this
early day, we can adopt the sen,imen.
of the above resolution, in relation TO
the distinguished patriot i, alludes to-
We are for the union o. the Wings for
the sake of the Union.
And at the proper time, the man a.
mong the number Of the great States
men and Patriots, who have been. ma
med in connection with the Presidency,
who can mos. effectually unite the Wing
party, and carry out the great and jus,
measures of the Wing administration,
shall receive our humble support for
the nomination, no matter who that indi-
vidual may be.
We are not in favor of hosting the
name of any individual previous to the
meeting of the Convention, as some
journals are in the habit of doing. too
| often with a view of forestalling public
opinion in favor of their particular fa-
vorite. We, as member of the great
national Wing party, are willing to bide
the decision of Wing National Con-
vention, and believe that the proper time
10 decide the question as to the best man,
is when the delegates from all parts Of
the Union meet, compare notes, inter-
change feelings, and compare the qualif-
cations and strength of the Candidates.
Who ever that man shall be, if Union
man, shall receive our hearty and cor
dial support.
