A Horse that Never Ralks,

Col. Medary, the "old wheel horse," has
signifed his acceptance of the Governor
ship of Kansas Some persons supposed
that the old fellow had been standing at the
public crib SO long that he had begun TO
''feel his OATS and become so skittish as to
'shy" at the tomb stones of the numerous
dead Governors of that Territory, and
would refuse to accept. In that, however,
they were mistaken. When his driver says
to him ego lang" he goes it, no matter
where the road leads to, or what scare-crows
may line its sides. The Col. was never
known to refuse to pull in the service of his
party; OF to feed at the public crib when he
was invited to partake. Faithful old horse,
he deserves well of his party in his declIn-
ing years. Wilmimgton { o.. Republican.
