man---the mother of the excep-

not the softest, that her daush-

and forbade the marriage. The
clergyman required the good
dame to '>show just cause and

informed him that she was sstoo

BIG BRINDLE.


In Nashville, many years ago,
there resided gentleman OF great
hospitality, large fortune, and,
though uneducated, possessed hard
sense. Col. w. had been elected
to the Legislature, and had also
been Judge of the county court.
His elevation, however, had
made him somewhat pompous,
and be became very fond of using
big words. On his farm he had
large, lnischievous OK, called "Big
Brindle," who frequently broke
down his ncighbor's fences, and
committed other depradations,
much to the Colonel's annoyance.
One morning, after breakfast, in
the presence of some gentlemen
who had stayed with him over
night, who We're on their way to
town he called his overseer and
said to him:
"Mr. Allen, I desire You to i'm
pound Big Brindle, in order that l
may hear no more animadversion
on his eternal depradations."
Allen bowed and walked of,
sorely puzzled to know what the
Colonel meant.
So after the Col. left for town
he went to his wife and asked her
what the Col. meant by telling
him to ''irnpound" the OK.
"Why," said she, she meant to
tell you to put him i'll a pen"
Allen left to perform the feat,
for it was no inconsiderable one,
as the animal was very wild and
vicious, and after a great deal Of
trouble and yexation he succeeded.
"Well," SAID he, wiping the per-
spiration from his brow, and soil
loquizing. "this is impounding, is
it Now, | am sure the old Col
will ask me if l had impounded
Big Brindle, and I'll bet I'll puz-
zle him as bad as he did me-"
The next day the Col. gave a
dinner party, and as he was not
aristocratic, Allen the oyerseer,
sat down with the company. After
the second or third glass was dis
cussed, the Colonel turning to the
oyerseer, said
"Eh Mr.. Allen, did you impound
Big Brndle, sir p
Allen straiehened himself, and
looking around at the company,
said
Eyes, l did but old Brindle
transcribed the inlpannel of the
impound and scatterlophisticated
all over the equanimity Of the for
est"
The company burst into an i'm
moderate fit OF laughter, while the
ColonePs face reddened with dis
comfiture.
'.What do you mean by that,
sir!" said he.
"Why, / mean,' said Allen, that
old Brindle, being drognosticated
with an idea of the cholry, ripped
and tared snorted and paved dirt
jumped the fence, tuck to the woods
and would not be impounded no
how 20
This was too much; the compa-
ny roayed again, in which the Col
was forced to join, and in the midst
of the laughter Allen left the table /
saying to himself as he went, 81
reckon the Colonel won't ask me
to impound any more oxen.'

The two parties which, faithless to the
lessons OF their ancestors, sought to disturb

the citizens, have gone down into the dust o.
humiliation and defeat before the resis'ess
charge of the united Democracy.
The nation breatheS freer. Every citizen
every patriot will feel burden Of care, nnxi

Union is no longer enveloped in clouds
The horizon has frightened before the un'
cloudcd rays of the sun of Democracy. The
world will rejoice at this happy termination
of conflict SO complex and serious in its
aspects, so momentOus in its effects.
The elevation Of wise, honest, expert
enced, skillful and trustworthy pilot to the
helm of our ship of State, is clone sufficien
to impart general confidence and satisfaction
to all good citizens. But, when the issue'
and principles involved nre considered, th
victory assumes a still higher character ant
value. May it be long again before our peo
pie will be called on to fight such anothe
political contest; and il, unfortunately, the,
should be so involved, may the result b.

Republican Votes i'm Ohio Pro-
cured by bribery.

A leading Republican in Portage county,
a few days since when in conversation with
Democrat, boosted that they, (the Republi
cans) had carried Ohio for Fremont, they
had the money to DO it and that they had ex.
pended FORTY THOUSAND DOLLARS, in pur-
chasing coteS can honest confession is
coed for the SOUL" and we hope this mans
confession may have eased his conscience.
1t is q matter of surprise however, that any
man should boast Of having committed bri-
berry, or that his party had committed crimes
in such wholesale manner. Forty thou
sand dollars expended to purchase votes -
That party must be pure @ indeed which
sanctions the commission of penitentiary
offences. Such is Repubicanism in Ohio
and by such means, it secures its triumphs
Men who boast of, and sanction such move
mente, are excellent candidates for the State
prison, and the miserable beings who &C.
cept their brides are but little better. Let
them go, the Republican party is the right
place for them.
