ANEcDoTe OF Gov BuRNs.-The Water
town fWis) Chronicle tells the following
good thing Of the new Licusensnt Cover
nor Of that State: =
He came to this State some years ago
penniIess. Working his way TO one of our
western counties, he applied to farmel
for employment. aWhst branch Of farm
ing are you best acquainted with I" inquir.
ed the farmer, who happened to be at work
at the time 10 breaking field, with an OF
team. 81 am not very well acquainted
with any branch Of the business" answer
ed Tim, s:but think could drive oxen"
The old farmer scrutinized him for mo-
ment, and shook bis head with the remark
..You don't know enough to drive oxen!
Tim turned upoa his heel, went into the
mines, struck rich lead, turned politician,
and was elected Sheriff. Soon after being
installed into Office, he was one day waited
upon bis quandom friend, the farmer, who
asked for the appointment Of Deputy Sher-
iff. Tim now thought !. his turn to gaze.
So he deliberately eyed the farmer from
head TO foot, and then looking him steadily
in the face, said, with all due gravity, "Sir,
Won don't seem to know enough for depu-
ty; you may be good at driving oxen, but
fm sure vow don't know enough for dep

A FINE SlMrLE--MR HEADLEy, 10 a lee
tnre recently delivered at Rochester, IL
speaking of the American Declaration d
independence, and the attitude taken By
this country before the world, introduced
the following very happy tignre:
"IIave you ever seen an Eagle fetteret
to The earth day after day and week aftel
week? How his plumage droops and hi'
proud bearing sinks away into an express
ion Of fear and humility. His eye, that
was wont to ut-gaze the sun, is lnsierless
and dead, and but low sounds Of irritation
escape him. Blu, jus, lei the cry Of a poor
Eagle, seated on a far mountain crag, meet
his ear, and how his roughened pIumage
smoo,hs itself into beauty, his dropping
neck becomes erect, aud his eye CLEANS as
nfoId. Pour that wild scream again on his
ear, aud those broad wings unfold them
selves in their native strength, and with a
cry as piercing and shrill as that Of his fel
low, he strains on his fetters, and per
chance bursts away, soaring gloriously 10
wards heaven. Who then shall stay hl'
fight or fiIl his soul with fear! So had
man been chained down nge nfter age, till
his spirit was broken, his dignity and glory
gone, and his soul marred and stained
Our declaration of rights was the cry ol
that free Eagle on his mountain crag, and
the fettered soul heard and answered il The
world over, with shock that rocked the
thrones Of Europe 10 their bases, and made
the chain that bound il, shake and quiveI
beneath its angry blows"

red by deep emotion, there Is peculiar
nervousness about bis voice, looks and ges-
lures, more impressive than the most vio-
lent defamation. Ills face grows pale
his large cayernous eye rolls and flashes
with solemn light, and without becoming
louder, his tones intensity 10 . way that
thrills his hearers more than any clarion
voice could do. And thus he looked and
spoke, as sentence after sentence Of that
sublime peroration rolled through the
Chamber. There was no resisting its ele-
vated sentiment on which he scared to the
highest peak Of oratorical fame. The
foul torches Of party feeling were, for the
time, extinguished in the purs fame Of his
patriotic feryor. The audience was fused
into one mass Of United Americans, with
but one feeling Of pride and admiration for
the man addressing them. The Wing

great Orator, the eloquent patriot-the in

-, ONO, Jan. Q, 1862.
II has been stated several timas lately that a
majority of the Congressional delegation from
this State are of the Democratic party; so that
if the presidential election were thrown into the
House, the vote of Ohio would be given to the
Democratic candidate. And generally, those
who are making calculations for 1852, set down
this State for the Democratic nominee. All this
is to be taken with some allowance.
Our delegation in Congress consists of ten
old line Democrats, nine Wings, one Freesoil
Democrat, and one Freesoiler that was Wing.
The Freesoil Democrat, DR.. Townsend, has
shown by his not voting for Mr.. Boyd, for
speaker, that his vote, and consequently the vote
of Ohio in the House of Representatives, cannot
be cast for friend of the fugitive slave law
This is well, for otherwise the State would be
misrepresented. Dr. Townsend was one of the
most active members of our legislature at the
session when Mr.. Chase was elected to the
United States Senate. These two men repre-
sent in Congress an important part of the Ohio
Democracy-the anti.slavery part--comprising
many men who did not vote for Mr.. Cass in
l848, and many more who did, but never would
againif he were nominated.
A great majority of the Democratic party in
Ohio are well known to be friends of freedom,
and opposed TO the Infamous fugitive law; but
speak now Of those who not only feel so, but
are resolved to vote so upon all proper occasions.
These free democrats have been acting with the
Democratic party in its great State measures Of
constitutional reform and equal rights, upon
which the late election turned. They carried
the adoption Of the new constitution by their
votes last summer, and this fall they swelled
the party majorities beyond all precedent
During the last three years, they have been
growing in numbers, and they are conscious Of
their strength. They hold the "balance Of
power 10 the State, as DR.. Townsend does in
the delegation at Washington; and like his, their
votes will not be cast for an avowed supporter
of the fugitive law they will not support an
enemy of freedom. ETA.
