her little boy asked for checks; but the bag

The following is an extract of letter from
a gentleman in Washington, to the New York
Times:


The results Of the election in Connecticut
and Rhode Island have called out no rejoicing
from either party in Washington. The perya-
ding feeling there appearsto be enc of deep So
lemnity, in view of the mighty Interests invoI-
we'd in the great contest to come off next FaA.
have never witnessed so little desire 10 triHe
or make merry about anything.
The Republicans are for the most part resol-
we'd and reckless. But the most intelligent
portion Of the party in Washington concur in
the opinion that they must rally on more con-
servative ground, as much for the good of the
country as to insure them any chance of sue
cess. Mr.. Seward is the most worried man
notice. His manner, air and conversation have
entirely changed since the recent elections"
The result of The late elections in Connecli-
cat and Rhode Island was certainly calculated
to infuse more serious and grave reflections
into the political contests of tho day than usu.
ally attends the struggles of parties. The des-
peration which marked the canvass in both
States was indicative of the stormiest and fer
cest Presidential contest this country has ever



seen while the strength shown by each party
was sufficient TO stimulate its hopes, without
indicating perilous oyer-confdence ofsuccess.
In Connecticut the Democratic vote was very
heavy, and correspondent in New Haven states

have been quite as favorable for the Democrats
as was that for Governor. The result, how.

thing should occur 10 draw portion of IN,

When aboltionism Rrst put forth its preten-

power and influence to form a political party Of

An old lady, in sxpatiating on the
treatment of children, used to relate tha
following anecdote, which I shali giYs iu
her own words:


when | was young girl we lived
nigh to family that had but one child,
boy of about three or four years old.
This child had been petted and INDUCED
to very improper extent by his parents,
and in such way as to entirely ruin his
temper, for he was frequently refused the
qualification Of his whims and caprices
until he became not only clamorous In his
demands, but would throw himself on the
focr screaming to the utmost power of his
lungs until blue in the face, and nearly
strangled by his exertiou, when the alarm
ed mother would call out to any one who
was convenient, and who was presumed
TO know his wishes, Quiet the child, or
he'll choke, which meant that his demands
should be complied with in order to pre-.
vent strangulation. This being done,
there would be an interregnum or cessa-
ton of the uproar until he discovered
some new want which if not immediately
gratified produced q recurrence of the
same scene, and its command, Qulet tho
child, on hen choke


"One day the parents were both from
home, and was left in charge Of tho
house, in company with their usual hired
help or maid of ali work, when Johnny,
who had been left in our care, imagined
some improper want, and being denied,
went off into one of his usual tantrums,
to which we concluded to pay no atten.
ton. Finding himself disregarded after
all his clamor, and holding his breath uu-
til as blue as turkey rooster in the face,
and still not hearing from any one the
usual command, he concluded to give it
himself, and roared out Justify, Quiet


the child, or he'U choke at which wa
could not avoid INDUCING in q hearty
laugh.


Johnny, for once, was disappointed,
and, full of modification, got on to his legs
again, and for the remainder of the day
was quiet and orderly"


| have often Of late years thought Of
little Johnny when beholding the manner
in which some men or communities con-
duct themselves in order to accomplish
their ends, of which the latest instance
is Governor Wise, whom the Union-sav-
e-s Of our cities are trying to "quist."

The Washington correspondent of the
New York Independent says


/ spoke in my last letter of the visit
Of Republican member of Congress to
Charlestown, and his hasty retreat. I
have since seen one of his Republican
colleagues in tho House-Senator Ash
ley-who not only visited Charlestown,
but actually witnessca the erecution.
With reckless daring almost equal to
to that which characterized John Brown
on his way to Washington, he resolved
in defiance of Virginia threats that Re-
publican should witness the hanging of
Brown. At Ilarper's Ferry he was de-
nounced-thc cars would not take him
to Charlestown-but with cool courage
he hired horse and buggy and drove
down to the beleagured village of Charles.
town, and put up at the village hotel.
He was fortunate enough while at the
Ferry to get the counterslgn, and so drove
straightforward the solid masses of troops.
Some hours before the execution he was
discovered to be spy, and hs plainly
avowed himself to the crowd to be Re-
publican Member of Congress. His in
trepidity alone saved his life. He was
insulted, his life was threatened hum
dred times, but by cool bearing he put
his panic-stricken foes to shame, and they
did not venture to attack or waylay him.
He saw Brown leave his cell with cheer.
full smile on his face, and as he passed mn
old negro woman, heard her say distinctly
to him, " God bless you, old man wish
[ could help you but cannot" And John
Brown heard her too, for he looked at her
moment and the tears sprang instantly
to his eyes.


Senator Ashley says that Brown stood
on the trap while the maneuvering Of the
troops was going on, fourteen minutes, by
the watch. The feeling of the troops and
the vast assemblage was one of horror se
this order of the military commander.
He adds that there was quiet, secret,
yet unmistakable feeling on the part ofas
least portion of the people of Charles
town, against the grand military display
OF Gov. Wise, if not of sympathy tor the

"H He put himself through his paper last week in long trot, to show that we a great man, and not great man, an excoriator, and harmless fe- w."--Ndtiondi Democrat.

 Our neighbor is very much mistaken.-- Politeness in our mind is inseparable from true greatness, and the abortive at tempt made to be witty in the last issue of the National, which only amounts to very low billingsgate, has rendered it im- possible to prove him either oitty or a "great man." Our criticisms last week were directed more especially to the style of the National than to its political errors; for while we have no fears that any man will be captivated by the political heresies advocated by that sheet, we had some con- sideration for the taste of the rising gener- ation, and desired to protect it against the n'annerisms-bad spelling, bad logic. and general confusion of ideas--so ostentatiously introduced by the distingaished editor Of the National For this gentle protest the Douglas organ comes out in long article filled with very coarse attempts to be funny; and we must be excused if we will not con- descend to such low Turnerisms, or perhaps Meadorisms is word that better expresses the total want of good taste and common deceney.
