How a Lady Preserved WebS.er's Re
ply 10 HaYne.

The Taunton lAlassaUhusettS) Gazette incor-
porates the following interesting reminiseeuce
in notice of the article on ssThe National
Inteiiigencer aud its Editors,' in the last 1T
Anatic Eontaiy
It will be seen from this interesting narrative
that there was time when Joseph Gales stood
alone among Congressional reporters; and to
still further illustrate his position in that line,
We call to mind what we once heard an intimate
friend OF MIR. Webster say we owe to him and
his wife with regard TO the celebrated reply to
Mr.. Hayne. Meeting the Massachusetts, Seua-
tor as be was going to the Capitol on that morn
ing, Mr.. Gales inquired of him how long he
intended to speak. About half an hour was
the reply. The editors duties at that time
we're pressing, but be ventured 10 take so much
time from them. Mr.. Webster, however, di-
rectly after met Jadge Story, who said that be
thought the time had come TO give to the coun-
try his views on the Constitution. To this pro-
position he assented. Mr.. Gales took uo his
pencil, unaware of this new arrangement, and
alike unconscious of the lapse OF time under
the cnchantment of the orator and consequent
ly he wEote on until the close of the SPELL
Some days passing away, and the ''prooP' of
the speech not appearIng,. hr Webster called
on the reporter and made enquiry. 81 have
the notes." said Mr. Gales, ''and they are at
your service as shall never find time to write
them out" This led to some remonstrauce
and persuasion, but the oVertasked editor stood
6rm. Then Msr. Gales came to his rescue by
saying she thought she could decipher her hus-
bands shorthand as she had formerly OCCASION
ally done SO. Mr.. Gales doubted, seeing that
it was fifteen years since she had tried it. But
she had heard the speech, and as the reslstless
sweep of its arguments and the gorgeous and
massive magui6cence of its imagery were yet
vivid in her mind she persisted in undertaking
the difficult work. In due time thereafter the
fair manuscript came to MIR. Webster'S hands
for final correction. Scarcely word needed
to be changed; and soon a set of diamonds cost
ing thousand dollars, accompanied the rich
thanks of the eloquent statesman. Thus was
saved to literature the most memorable GRAFTON
of the American Senate.

Roger Pryor turned to Brutus
IT'S awful to think on

And poinard Abe Lincoln !
For, should Abe be elected,
And veto secession,
Bold Roger viii give him
No time for confession
But murder Old Abe
How it makes the blood curdle
And stick him where Brutus, did,
Over the girdle.

PROCLAMATION
PROCLAMATION


FELLOW CITIZENS: The revolutions Of the
year have again brought us TO our annual fes-
tival of Thanksgiving to Almighty God. In
no preceding year have we had more abundant
cause for gratitude aud praise. The revolving
seasons have brought with them health and
plenty. Tie summer fruits and the autumn
harvests have been gathered and garnered in
unwonted exuberance. A healthfuI activity has
pervaded all the departments OF life; ani prov
ident industry has met with generous reward.
The increase of material wealth has teen lib
orally employed 10 sustaining our educationsl
and Religious institutions, aud bstf. are making
the most gratifying progress in eniightening ADD
purifying the pubic mind. While in Europe,
central aud absolute Governments, BY their
pressure on personal rights and liberty, are pro-
ducing excitements, which threaten TO upheave
she very foundations Of society, aud have led,
10 some instances, to bloody and cruel wars, we,
ia the enjoyment of constitutional liberty, aud
under the protection of just and equal laws,
are peacefully pursuing the ayoaaticns of life,
and engaging 10 whatever promises to advance
our social and individual improvement and hap
piness. s'The lines are," indeed, ssfalen TO us
in pleasant places, and we have a goodly hertz
age" In all this we see the orderings of
kind and merciful providence which call not
only for our recognition, but for our public
Thanksgiving and Praise.
Under this conviction, I, WILLIAM T.
PACKER, Governor of the Commonwealth of
Pennsylvania, do hereby appoint Thu URSDAY,
the 29th day of NOVEMBER Bex., to be OBJ
served as day of public Thanksgiving aud
Prayer, and recommend to all our people, that
setting aside. that day, all worldly pursuits,
they assemble in their respective places OF wor-
ship, and unite in Offering thanks to God for
his manifold goodness, aid imploring his for
giveness, and the continuance Of bis mercies.

FOR THE RAPID cURE OF
Coughs, Colds, Influenza, Hoarseness,
Group, Bronchitis, Incipient Consump-
tion, and for the relief of Consumptive
Patients i'm advanced stages of the
disease.
So wide is the field of its usefulness and so nu-
meroHs are the cases Of its cures, that almost
every section of country abounds in persons pub
hcly known who have been restored from alarming
and even desperate diseases Of the lungs by It's
use. When once tried its superiority over every
other medicine of its kind is too apparent to escape
observation, and where its virtues are known, the
public no longer hesitate what antidote to employ
for the distressing and dangerous affections Of the
pulmonary organs that are incident to cur climate.
While many inferior remedies thrust upon the
community have failed and been discarded, this
has gained friends by every trial, conferred benefits
on the afflicted they can never forget, and pro-
dueed cures too numerous and too remarkable 20

Out Of His Reckoning. /.

A good story is told of Washington county
man, who on his way to Cucinnati became some
what elevated by sundry sdrinks,' but as good
luck would have it, found boat at the wharf
aud was quickly on his way
Soon after leaving the wharf man came
around for his fare. Horral handed out five
dollar bill, and received four dollars aud ninety
five cents in change. He ranmed it into his
pocket book with great eagerness, supposing
the cleek had made mistake. That done he
leaned back into bis chair and fell asleep. A
little while aud be was plucked awake by toe
same man, VINO again demanded fare. Dis
covered the mistake thought be, holding ous
handful of change. The man, as before, took
only five cents, and Horrall again vent into
dozc. Ere he had got fairly to dreaming OF
home, and friends far away, around came the
collector again, and thus it went on for long
time.
At last Horrall thought it very inconvenient
and concluded to vote the conductor a nuisance.
aud give him bit of advice besides, so, said
he
Is (hiel this dauger(hie hiejous bo(hic lboat!'
fBy no means, said the man. Bran new
Then (bicl why do fhicl don't you collect ell
the (hc) fahair at once-not bother fel[hic)

Really said the man, where do you think
you are goinga'
sCincin( )binnati,' said Horrall.
'Cincinnati,' said the polite conductor, why,
you must be sadly out of your reckoning. This
is the ferry boat, and all this afternoon YOU
have beon riding to and fro between New Al
bany and Portland!'
That night Horrall stayed in louisville.
