Governor calls you mob, mob, mob. +"
He now makes a grand flourish, turns
the events of the morning to political
account; is vociferously cheered, and sud
denly drops upon seat. Judge Carroty
is Loudly called for and responds eloquent
ly to the call-if mans being present in
crowd and mounting stump consti-
tutes eloquence. We cannot do him
justice; We shall not try; it transcends
our power; yet we must say that he stands
before US with oil the glowing freshness Of
forked carrot, and warns us very wisely,
very gravely, very Judge-like, to beware

ble," is Loudly called for. That gentle
man or, as he has been facetiously called,
orator Cable, responds to the call; mounts
the stand, bows, smirks, smiles, speaks,
thrusts his hands before him, and now
quivers and shakes affectedly all over, as
if the convulsive throes and struggles of
a young earthquake within were agitating
violently the whole solar system of his
rhetoric. But his enuncia.ion is so hurried
and indistinct that it cannot be reported
here, though the vehement eloquence Of
the speech is not doubted. Whoever
has marked the elocution of brave
turkey cock as he drops the tip of his
wings upon the ground, swells, struts,
puffs, leers, sidles, and then gives utter
ance to the sublime sentiments of his
joy, his heart, in a very firm, fine, fast
and conclusive gable, can form very
faint idea of the pathetic, moving, rapid
eloquence of the speaker He now cocks
his head on one side, looks with wonder
ment and caution combined and made
emphatic, bows again, ard then lifts up
first one foot and then the other, and thus
retires amid thunders of applause.
Gen. Kane now proposes that three
cheers be given for ---; it is re-
sponded to by the crowd with tremendous
noise, ranging in its compass from hoarse
gutteral growls to shrill, sharp fife
screams. They now disperso for dinner.
Let us ascend to the second story Of
that mansion and see what is transpiring
there at the same time, and within hear
ing distance of the shouts of the excited
and Infatuated populace. Here lies the
wasted form Of an interesting and devoted
wife and mother. She has scarcely
attained the meridian of life, yet her
work on earth is done; she bids farewell
to her husband and offspring; dimness
gathers upon her vision; mortality recedes
from her sight; the golden thread o.
mortal life is broken; she sleeps in the
mansion Of death.
Let us visit once more the small vine.
