lie EActuenc!, IlehIy D. pdIuhci, Tue Pfoscn'
Governor Of Massachusetts, is peculiar person.
He has great faculty for turning up at the right
time and for going through with the most astonish
ing antics, contortions both Of limb and face, tum
bngs ground and lofty with lodgings sometimes
| Illuminated and som. times doomed to sudden som-
berress by the interpostion Of the Dark Lantern.
To say the truth, His Exeeency is one Of the MIN
beit Of modern men. He is gem Of "a little
JOKER" Now the wageish and dimnutive Pea is
under the Anti-Slavery thimble, and then, presto
it ips into the Lantern and being seen no more Of
Anti Slavery men, they wait patiently for it to come
out But they may be sure Of one thing the Pea
will only come out at the proper and prudent mo-
mebt. The spacious Pea knows whether to be
under the thimble or in the Lantern. No pOlitico-
legumnous production Of modern times has such
talent for flying about. At the game of new you
see il and now you DON'T it is the most wonderful
Pea in Life.

The burden Of this gubernatoral effort was that

election of Mr.. Banks to the Office Of Governor OF
Massachusetts, Not that he was in the minutest
manner influenced by personal considerations He
was tired Of office. His ffi:ial tolls had caused
him to ache sadly in every LIMB. He wanted peace

The iLcredulous may doubt the sincerity Of Henry

lie has rather ferdinand NIendez PintOsh reputa-

this Dorchester speech, without feeling that the
temperance man Of fourteen years standing, and
the Anti slavery man Oitbe Lord knows how many
years standing has been most grevOusly malisned.
The difficulty which Gov. Gardner finds in the
way Of supporting Mr.. Banks is that he will not
" come out 10 favor of " Americanism." This is
tie Ostensible difficulty. Permit to cay, in all
plsinness (His E1ceency will pardon little plain
ness), that the real difficulty is that Gov. Gardner
wants to keep bis Office another year. We
believe that he pants to be renominated.
