A LUNATIC's CUNNING.

A very laughablo incident occurred at the
Lunatic Asylum ut Lancaster, about ten
days ago. A parish officer from the neigh.
borhood Of Middleton, took lunatic to the
asylum, pursuant TO an order signed by two
magistrates, As the man was respectably
connected, o gig was hired for the purpose.
and he was persuaded that Il was only m
excursion Of pleasure on which he was 90.
ING. In the course of tho journey, howey.
or, something occurred to arouse the suspic-
ions OF the lunatic as to his real destination /:
but he said nothing on tho subject, made no
resistance, and seemed to enjoy his jaunt.-
When they arrived at Lancaster, It was too
late in the evening to proceed to tho asy-
lum, and they took up their quarters for the
night at an inn. Very early in the morning
the lunatic got up and searched the pockets
OF the officer, where he found the mopis.
trates order for his own detention, which OF
course lot him completely into the secret
With that cunning which madmen not un.
frequently display, he made the best of his
way to the asylum, saw one Of the keepers,
and told him that he had got madman,
and that he was bringing me; but you must
take good care of him, and not believe a
word that he says"
The keeper OF course promised commit.
ancc, and the lunatic walked back TO tho
inn, where he found tho overseer still fast
asleep. He awoko him, and they sat down
to breakfast together.
"You re q lazy fellow to DO sleeping all
day. I've had a long walk this morning
said tho lunaiic.
aIndced;n said the officer, 81 should
like to have walk myself after breakfast |;
perhaps you will 20 with me-"
The lunatic assented, and aiter breakfas.
they set out, the officer leading The way to-
ward tho asylum, intending 70 deliver his

ply, when on arriving the tank was found
to be frozen, 90 that tho engine could mel
return, and the passengers, $50 In number,
were left to pass the night. Being out o'
fuel the FIRST onslaught was made upon the
emigrant cars, the seats Of which answered
the purpose. Next the wants Of the inner
man claimed attention, and an attack was
made upon the express car, which very soon
fell into the hands OF the victors, yielding q
substantial sharo Of spoils in tho shape OF
oysters en- route for the CUISINE Of his excel
lency, Governor Mattoson.
When morning broke, the party found
themselves alone upon the deep. bu, spying
house some four miles distant, an able
bodied corps Of fsappers and miners were des.
patched for little aid and comfort.
The house proved to be the residence Of
q worthy farmer, who forthwith loaded his
teams with fusi and provsnder, and took Of
the women and children. y1so
A couple Of gentlemen took conveyance
ncross,to Morris, 25 miles distant, where
they struck the Rock Island train-some
few others started on foo. for Pontiac, ten
miles disant-but greater share remained
at the scene Of disaster. .s.. .-.... .
When last heard from, tho Speaker OF tho
House, axe in hand. was presiding over q
wood-pile - the Chairman Of Banks and
interpretations, had under consideration

tent-clsarly bank OF deposit" The
Committee on Internal Improvement were
after mince-pies and sandwiches,
while the lobby, "my Lord Coke" in the
chair, had resolved itself into Committee
Of the Whole on the state Of the country.
Mr.. Farnham, on leaning Of the circum.
stance, despatched locomotive from Joliet,
with provisions to the train, but We do not
learn whether it reached them or not.

charge: but it never occurred to him to ex
anime whether his order was safe. When
they got within sight of the asylum, the lu-
natic exclaimed
what fine house that is! ("
YES" said the officer, /" / should like 10
SEQ the inside OF it.n ..,.
SO should IT, observed the lunatic.
u" Well, | dare say they will let us look
through will ask was the response.
Ihey, went to tho door, tho officer rang
the bell, and the keeper, whom the lunatic
had previously seen, made his appearance
with two or three assistants. The officer
then began to tumble in his pockets for tho
order. when the lunatic produced IL, and
gave 1t to the keeper, saying
This is the man l spoke to you about
you will take care Of him i; shave his head,
and put straight waistcoat on him.
The men Immediately laid hands on the
poor officer, who vociferated loudly that the
other was the mailman, and he tho officer (;
but as this only confirmed the story previ.
ously told by the lunatio, IL did not at oil
tend to procure his liberation. He was ia.
ken away, and became so Indignantly flri.
Gus that the straight waistcoat was speedily
seeundum artem. Meanwhile tho lunatic
walked deliberately back to tho inn, paid
the reckoning. and set out on his journey
homeward. The good people in The coun.
try were Of course not littls surprised on
seeing the wrong man return; they were
afraid that the lunatic in ft Of frenzy had
murdered the oversesr, and they asked him,
with much trepidition, what be had done
with Mr.. Stephenson. "Done with him ="
said the madman, "why, LEFT him ut the
Lancaster Asylum as mad as Satan" which
indeed, was not very far from tho truth, for
the wits OF the overseer were we'll nigh up.
set by his unexpected detention and subse.
qucnt treatment. Further inquiry was forth
with made by his neighbors, and it was as
certained that the man was actually in the
asylum. A magistrates order was procur.
ed for his liberation, and he returned home
on Wednesday last, with handkerchief IL
cd round his head in lieu of the covering
which nature had bestowed upon it.-lnan.

From the Portland Advertiser
Josiah Quincy on Doughfaces.

To every well.wisher to the cause Of free.
dom ia this country, who has watched tho
progress Of the Slave Power during the pres.
ent century, Til the passage Of the Fugitive
Slave Act, and the subsequent Growing
net Of the present year, the Nebraska and
Kan zas Bill, the public expression of senti-
ment on the subject, by such q man as the
Hon. Josiah Quincy, is truly refreshing
Tho following graphic opistle from that gen.
tleman was received some months since, in
reply to an individual of kindred feeling in
this city, on the subject Of slavery, and his
then recent address ut Faneuil Hall. BE.
lieving that the publication of the right
sentiments from such quarter would
strengthen tho cause of freedom in what we
term tho Free States. and beliaving nlsO
that what Mr.. Quincy has written on po-
ltical subjects in til. closet, he would not
be unwilling, if occasion should require, to
have proclaimed on the house top, and that,
though he does not seek publicity, ho would
not shun it, hand you his letter for publi-
cation. G.
SIR Il find on my file OF letters one from
you of the 18th Of August, which l fear
may have escaped my acknowledgement, rs
| do not find on it my usual endorsement on
those which have received from me that at.
tention. / prefer to risk giving you the
trouble Of second letter, rather than leave

been negligent in q case where every cir
cumstance was of character to induce
punctuality.

have no belief that this or any other
excrtion of more powerful minds can be Of
lectual to rouse the Free States to o sense
of their duty TO their country and to the
cause of humanity. The stakeholder COM
mands the purse Of the nation, and has,
what is OF greater influence. tho distribu-
ton OF power, and place, and promotion.-
the needy, the avaricious, the vain, tho am
bilious, and the unprincipled, aro always in
the public market, The temptation which
Webster, with all his unqucstioned intellec-
tual greatness, could not resist, must be
overwhelming to the multitude OF inferior
minds, who know little of the past, care
nothing for the future, and regard only the
present. The timidity incident to tho spir-
Il Of commerce Mt the North, is tho ally,
and constitutes the strength Of tho institu.
tions of the South. Trembling as the slave.
holders do at the idea Of disunion, they
have had tho address to make the North DO.
licyc they are ready and desirous of it, ut
the samc time. that every intelligent owner
of slave knows, in his sonl, that the arm
Of the Union withdrawn, will be the signal
