are some who may not understand why it
was that the radicals carried the Legislature
of Connecticut, while the Democrats elected
the Governor. We will explain. Every
town in Connecticut has one member to the
Legislature, however small its population.
No town or city has more than two mem
bers. The large towns, such. as New Haven
and Hartford, are Democratic, but they
have no more votes in the Legislature than
small towns, with not one-tenth their popu-
lation. 1t is under this system, based on
towns, and not on population, that the radi-
Gals always carry the Legislature.

THAT'S IT.-Stop grumbliDg. Get up two
hours earlier in the morning, and begin to
do something out Of your regular profession.
Mind your own business, and with all your
might let other peoples alone. Live within
your means. Sell your horses. Give away
or sell your dog. Smoke your cigar through
an air stove. Eat with moderation, and 90
to bed early. Talk less Of your own peeu-
liar gifts and virtues, and more of those of
friends and neighbors. Be cheerful. Full
Ell your promises. Pay your debts. Be
yourself all you would see in others. Be q
good man, and stop grumbIing

The Democracy of Tennessee should Or
ganize at once. We commend the follow
ing sensible views of the Knoxville Press
and Herald to the readers Of the Bulletin:
Tie approaching Presidential election
affords US the opportunity of perfecting our
organization, and we ought to take advan-
tage of it. a thorough organization, result
ing in a simultaneous movement in every
county of the State, would enable US to
throw off the yoke with ease, in spite ofthe
militia and the Loyal Leagues.
The time has not yet come for such ac-
ton, but unless we organize our forces it
will never come.
The first step to such organization is, in
our opinion, the holding of a State Conven-
ton to appoint delegates to the National
Convention at New York on the 4th of July,
to select a State Executive Committee, and
subordinate committees for each Congress
ionai District
Let US have a State Convention by all
means. Hardeman is ready to enter into
the good work heart and soul.

was struck with the exact likeness Of the
negro Of this country to the negro of the
South. He is more patient and doeile here
than there, and is never, or rarely, whipped
in this country. He has the same cheerful
face and happy expression, and sings the
selEsame airs here as there, and dresses and
looks exactly like him He even has the
same little corn n-pateh, and desires greatly
to raise his. own chickens, etc. In fact, he

PASSING AwAY.-Under Its apropri-
ate head in our columns this morning
will be found announced the death of
John McFerrAn, Esq, for many years
a resident in this city. Mr.. Meier
ran came to Wheeling about forty
years ago from Baltimore, where he
spent the earlier years of his life.
When that city was menaced by the
British forces under General Ross the
subject of.this brief notice belonged 10
military company which bore an
honorable part in resisting the ad.
vance ofthat proud and profane officer,
and nnny of our citizens will rem en-.
Der with what pride Mr.. McFerran
was accustomed to refer TO his partici-
patton In that memorable event. To
the close of his life, we believe, he
retained his membership in an organi-
cation formed in the city of Baltimore
and known MS the '' Old Defenders, "
by age AS TO prevent his meeting
with his old comrades in arms, he
annually Joined them in celebrating
the victory they achieved. Tine Stale of
Maryland, II we are not mistaken &C.
knowIedged the value of the services
rendered by the military company
mentioned above by giving each one
certificate thereof and paying them
pension.
One by one, and at short intervals,
our old citizens are passing away. But
yesterday The remains of Samuel OFT,
Esq, were consigned to the tomb. and
to day at o'clock the family and
friends OF Mr.. McFerran will bear all
that is mortal of him to the quiet and
seclusi0n of Greenwood. Like his CO.
| temporary just mentioned, Dir. MoE.
| filled mp the measure OF days allotted
to man on earth, and like him his de-
paTture leaves Il void in this cOmmuni-
~ not easily filled.
