ROGER SHERMAN AND JOHN RANDOLPH
Mr.. Sherman was Representative in Con-
gress from Connecticut; his business had been
that of making shoes. Mr.. Randolph arose,
and. with his usual squeaking sounds, said, " |
should like to know what the gentleman did
with his leather apron before he set out for
Washington MIR. Sherman replied initiating
the same squeak, IL cut it up sir, to make
moccasins for the descendants OF Poca-
hontas!"
In severity of sarcastic remark, Burns was
perhaps unriyalled. In a tavern one evening,
the conversation turning on the death of a
friend, one Of the company observed that he
| meant to attend funeral, requesting at the
same time that Mr.. Burns would accommodate
| him with the loan of black coat his being
out Of repair. As | am invited answered
the poet, "to the same funeral cannot lend
you my coat, but ] can suggest substitute"
What is that y asked the other. Throw
your character over your shoulders said
Burns, and that will prove the BLACKLIST coat
you ever wore in your lifetime"

The MEETING IN MONUMENT SaUARE.-The
people were in council last night in Monument
Square. From every quarter of the State and adj
joining country, and from all parts of the city,
they gathered in multitudes to testify how their
hearts were enlisted in the great cause which was
to triumph in the approaching Presidential cleo
ton in the SUCCESS of General WINFIELD SCoTr
and WILLIAM A. GRAHAM.
The scene was. indeed, n glorious one The
space in front of the court house decorated
with gorgeous banners and glowing lights-the
battle monument illuminated with a galaxy
of stars, and the whole square crowded with
people, in whom the beauty, the intelligence, the
enterprise, and patriotism of the city were all re-
presented.
Such outpouring Of the people, such mani
festation of enthusiasm, such exhibition of de-
votion to the great cause, has been exceeded
and cannot be exceeded. The unity of sentiment
which moved that dense mass of this people was
not interrupted by one sign Of opposition There
tens Of thousands there, but their Blossoms
were one." All hearts beat in unity, and all
g'owed in the glorious certainty that the victory
theirs.
great meeting was expected, but it moro than
realized the highest hopes of the most sanguine.
Never before has city seen such formidable
array of the majesty and power Of the people
never before was there such display of popular
feeling. 1t 10 impossible to mistake the promisc

CHANaE.-A few days have produced great
change in Maryland 1t is buta short time since
the approaching Presidential election was scarcely
mentioned in this State, excepting in the political
papers, and by stump orators. Now the people are
rousing themselves to action OH the subject,
solved to exert themselves to the utmost for the
candidates Of their preference. In fact, nothing
will engage public attention between this time and
November but the political contest; and we may
look for rs large vote for President as was ever
cast in the State. Both parties are becoming ex
ceedingly animated. little while ago and the
Wings seemed in responding condition, whilst
the Democrats were certain that they would carry
the State by large majority. We confess that
such was our impression from what we saw; but
the has changed, and the Wings are now
sanguine Of success, not only in this State, but
throughout the Union. Such the fluctuations
of feeling in political warfare. There have been
some few OBJECTIONS from the Wing ranks, but this
will hardly affect the general result, the party
appears to be united and resolved. There are de-
fecions also from the Democratic party, but to
what extent we know not.

say, have only had the effect to show kings and
princes their weak places, and to put them upon
their guard against popular innovations, as point

Setting Aside your Great Mem"

The DEMOCRATIC journals are very sympa-
thetic just now with the great men" of the
WIG party. They think the WHIGs crght
not to succeed, because in selecting their Presi-
dental candidate they have disregarded the
claims of the great statesmen of their party.
Well, and what do the great statesmen of
the other party say for themselves Are they
perfectly content at being postponed to General
PIERCE2 Mr.. BUCHANAN does not seem to us
to indulge in the "Perfect gush of enthusiasm"
with which the nomination was hailed in the
Baltimore Convention. General CAss is very
moderate in his encomiums on Mr.. PIERCE,
and thinks the party must GO through on the
strength of DEMOCRATIC "principles," and not
on the merits of the candidate. 1t is true that
General CAss and Mr.. BUCHANAN have not
thrown oft party allegiance and fidelity, or
come out for the opposition candidate-but it
will not be very far out of their way that they
will travel to make votes for General PIERCE.
The case is this: The WHIGs have passed
by their greatest statesman, and have taken the
greatest soldier, and one of the purest, best
and wisest men in the country for their leader.
The DEhocRArs have passed by their greatest
statesman, and taken General PIERCE. We
think on this score the DEMOCRATIC statesmen
have the greater cause for complaint.

saUASDERINo LOTTERY Mossy.-.It lie a very
common belief that money won by lotteries
doesn't do much good to the recipients Of the
prizes. This opinion is likely to gain strength,
shortly by what is related in the following para
graph from the Nashville Banner Of the Sth in
etant:
awe hear it said that a gentleman formerly
of Tennessee, at Washington, who lately drew a
very large sum Of money in lottery has sent out,
will send out, part Of it, say 10000, TO bet
the election. lie is n Democrat, and offers to
bet on Pierce. This sum is a large one, and the
boldness of the movement has the effect perhaps
intended, to bluff Wings, and produce some dis
trust as TO the general result. Few men can have
that positive information that will induce them to
rick large sums against such dashing denonstra-
tions. But the fortunate gentleman alluded to,
who has so much money TO bet, We know has no
better means Of knowing than gentlemen who
confidently believe that General Scott will certain
ly be elected triumphantly. This brag game is
sometimes played with effect. In this case IL has
produced some disrust where none existed before
All the signs, except this, look like certain success

alt has been common, Of late years, to speak of
Annexation as some great good. Ii is the slang
term for national progress, and is deemed equva
lent to advancement in national power and pro-
gress. But the fact ia that the annexation of Mex
leo and it's inhabitants is more n thousand times
be avoided than any national evil misfortune
that could possibly occur. This is question, for
tunately, in which even national cupidity cannot
,sead "s Tor the Whole e*o1T hs s'Trory in

Dutchess county. The silver mines talked of.
But tho whole product of silver, now when
quicksilver lie obtained at n rate much cheaper
than formerly is not equal TO the coal product Of

alton of such a country and such people is too
