A. II. SANpsxs-D Dear Sir:-The General
Assembly is still "grinding away" upon all Z
kinds Of grists, and are Of course taking tolls /,
very literally. They will manage to pro- =
long the session to the end of the time allow I,
ed,which will be about four weeks from TINS ,
time. &
The monotony of Legislation is occasionally
diversified with an ex citing o ccurrence, !
but since the election little has TRANSFERRED
of very interesting character. That ex-
ceedingly big-heade; and s'P-headed out"'
Buell.. of Marion, in the House. has been the
cause of much merriment among his brother
Reus. He imagines himself a second Dan
iel Webster, in talents, genius and ora'0'y
"A oerfect Sir Oracle in the House, and
embraces every occasion to "make lew re-
marks" and bring himself into notice. Iha'
notice is frequently such as the MONKEY ut
tanned when he climbed the pole. Bueii
when he voted for the resolut'o" to exPel
the Locomotive" newspaper from the House.
and asked TO change his vote when he per-
ceived that he was in the minority, render
ed himself supremely ridiculous, and became
/, the laughing stock of all the members, wing
and Democrat, if he was not already SO. Ii
he had stood to his first position like man
the case would not have been so bad, but be-
81 les showing a timid inconsistency he man.
! ifested dispicable cowardice. The brave
: man, though in bad cause, procures res
{ pect for his spirit, while the cowardly seeker
? after the popular side gets contempt and hiss
: es for lis pains. Buell. has effectually eclips-
: ed what prospects he may have had. by his
i foolisb love of himself without a rival, and
.fter serving this term will be droPpe d like
hot potato.
The Governors run on the Newport Bank
!" has caused much gossip. The Gov. isa sly
ur one, but like Reynard, his counterpart, is get
IN ting pack of hounds in full chase after him
IN and he will one day be worried sorely.-
These "hounds" are not all ofths Wing breed
either.
r One of the beauties among the Locofoco
IS, pets along with John Petit, ct al, is DR.
- Barrel, of Tipecanoe county, the Door-keeP-
p. err of the House OF Representatives. He is q
nd regular brandy SO lker and has been arrested
taken before the Nay r, and fired twice fol
drunkenness, d;sordery conduct, and breach o
= the Teace. 1t has been very common oc
ny curence at his home to jug" him tor IN
