from the room, and would give no answer; so
says Julius Baker a Republican, who pro-

Burtis took a few men and went to the polls
and made his delegates, when most all of his
town was at a funeral and when the people
went to elect Delegates, he would not let the
polls be opened, so in fact, he did not get the
wish Of the people of Harrison, as they say
that he could not get the Delegates of uarri-

Mr.. Seward and his party on their re-

places in Missouri, where the Gov. made
brief speeches; and at Springfield he
made a ten minute speech, spent about
FIVE minutes in introducing his friends to

Hon. d. S. DICKINSON accounts for
the tremendous popularity of Douglas, in
the following fclioitous manner:
"Some fatmen descending The Missis-
sippi in rather a jolly mood, passed a
house GU the shore where they were fd-
ding and dancing on the piazza; the
boat fell into an eddy, and once in each
half hour passed the house again. and

had been revolving in an eddy, and had
