Delaware weekly Republican. [volume] (Wilmington, Del.) 1841-188?, 1857-08-27
From the Charleston Mercury.

In addition to the letters published recently from
zen, Atcbison, we beg leave to say 10 our renders
lint from other letters, received from Kansas, we
are informed that the pro slavery party In Kansas
is resolute in les determination OF making ansas
slave State In eonsenting TO become democratic
party, the pro-slaviry did not mean to abandon
their policy but to lift tho inorty 1t placed with
them TO their support. Tho statements which have
been circulated in the South that they had aequi-
esced In Gov. Walkers schemes to make Kansas
free State, are utterly false They thoroughly un-
derstaud and detest him, md hope to make him as
powerless ns Geary. Gov. Waller, with the author
ity and patronage of the general government might
hereafter succeed in dividing, paralyaing. and hnal
~ defeating them, This is possible Bat on the
2Ist day vi last month they confident oil success
and would form constitution with slavery aeknoW-
lodged in II. L this constitution is referred 20 the
people for ratification, It is Intended only TO the
lesstered voters, whU will doubtless, rati.y II. We
have more hopes OF Kansas han we ever have had.
We have great faith in the 6gRttng capacity 81

Bio BRINDLE.-In Nashville, many years ago,
there resided man of great hospitality, large
fortIne, and thorough education, possessed OF
hard-knot sense. Col. W. had been elected to
the Legislature and had also been judge Of the
county court. HIS elevation, had mldo him
somewhat pompous, and no became very fond
of using big words. On his flrln he had a
large miscllievous OK, called Z" Big Brindle,"
which frequently broke down his neghbor's
fences, and committed other depredations,
much to the Colonels annoyance. One morn
| ing after breakfast, in presence OF some large
| gentlemen who had stayed with him over night,
and were on their way to town, he called his
overseer, and said to him:
" Mr.. Allen, desire you to emponnd Big
| Brindle, in order that may hear no more an
| imadversons on his eternal depredatiOns."
/ Allen bowed and walked oil, sUrely puzzled
to know what the Colonel meant. So after
Colontl W. left for town, he went to his wife
| and al e1 her what Col. W. meant by telling
him to s'npound" the OK.
"Why," she said, s'the Colonel meant to tell
you to put him in PEN"
Allen left to perform the feat, for it was no
inconsiderable one, as the animal was very
wild and vicious, and after great deal of trou-
BILE and vexation, he succeeded.
"Wel," said he, wiping the Precipitation
from his brow, and soliloquizing, " this is i'm
pounding, is iii Now Pm dead sure the old
Colonel will ask me if impounded Big Brin-
die, and bet IN puzzle him as bad us he did
| me-"
The next day the Colonel gave a dinner par.
ty, and as he was not aristocratic, Allen, The
oversoer, sat down with the company. After
the second or third glass was discussed, thS
Colonel turned to the overseer, and said
"Eh, Mr.. Allen, did you impound Big Brn
die, sir l''
Allen Strengthened himself, and looding
around at the company, said
=" Yes, did; but old Brindle transcribed
the impanel or the impound, and scatterlo
phisticated all over the cquanimity of The
forest"
The company burst into an immodcrate I'll
of laughter, while the Colonel's face REDEEMED
with discontinue.
What do you mean by that, sir 2" said he.
"WhyA / mean, Colonel said Alien, ''thIt
Old Brindle, being prognostcated with an idea
OF the cholera, ripped and tared, snorted and
paved dirt, jnmped the fence, took to the
woods, and would not DO impounded no how"
| This was too, much, this company rOlred
again, in which the midst OF the laughter, Al
len left the table saying to himself as he went,
81 reckon the Colonel won't as! me to mpound
any more oxen."
