'Washington and Congress.
The following. anecdote of the late Governor
Jay, one of the purest and Most illustrious
statesmen, is furnished to us by his sun, Judge
Jay
Shortly before the death of John Adams, I
was sitting alone with my father, conversing
• . • .rican—ReNthrtion.- - Suddenly
he remarked : " Ah, William !. the history of
that Revolution will never- be known. 'No
body now alive knows it but John - Adams and
myself." Surprised at. such a declaration, I
asked, him to what he .referred. lie briefly
replied, The proceedings \of the old Con
gress." _ Again I inquired, - "'What proceed
ings?" lie answered, " Those against Wash
ington ; from first to last there was a most
Tiger party - against him."
As the old Congress always sat with dosed
doors, the public knew no more of what passed
within than it was deemed - expedient to
.
. Somebody Trod Upon.—"l guess somebody
trod upon it when it ITILS a little fellow."
So said a little chirin — vhen asked - ffTte could
tell why a full grown vigorous tree grew crook
ed. How painfully 'suggestive the reply, " trod
den upun when a little fellow." The dew and
the sunshine lent their aid to beautify, and
the—rain-and- the- fruitful -ear th- to-s tre agthen,
lint it availed not; when it was a little 'fel
low" soMehody trod upon it; its glossy, green
stem grew curved, its juices turned into new
channels,
channels, deformity claimed the young tree
and bowed its princely head.
An Uncommum • Occurrence. - -The Albany
Knickerb . orker says a very singular affair oc
curred in the Court of General Sessions at
the last term. A woman was brought up and
arraigned before her Own brother, who was
on the Bench, on a charge of keeping a house
of prostitution. The brother sat motionless
as marble, and stern and inflexible as the Ro
man father, wko_passed the sentence of death
on his own eon. The woman, although old
in crime, and lost to shame, was so - overcome
by- = the—seen—that—en—reach i n er---seat___s e_
wept burning tears. It is a scene that is rare
ly witnessed, and we hope never to see the
like again.
1
nidion.—Ten years ago a wealthy
farmer named Sinunonds, living near New
burg, on the lludSon, river, "had a presenti
ment" that he would die' on the 20th day of
August, -1856. So strongly was he impress
ed with the strange idea, that he regarded his
decease at the time mentioned—as, aJeatter of
(•crtaiuty. lie selected a spot for his - grave,
bought an iron railing to surround it, and had
a line tomb-stone and an elegant coffin pre
pared and brought to his house. On Thurs
day week, the day indicated by the "presen
timent," he had a clergyman and an under
taker at hand, and at 2 o'clock in the after
noon, after having partaken, with his friends,
of a hearty dinner, he went to bed for the
purpose of yielding up the ghost. lie tried
his best to die. but couldn't, and was at last
obliged to confess that he had been the slave
of a ridiculous hallucination. It is, said that
hundreds of people flocked to his house to see
hint es_pire.

A Remarkable Swimmer.—"A singular
wager," says the Salut Public of Lyons, —has
just been decided here. One of the best swim
mers of the City made a bet that he would
cross the Rhone wi h 1 small table Cin his
stomach, on which should be placed two butt es
full of wine, six eggs on' a plate, and four
gla , ses. The fall of any one Of these °Wets
would involve the loss. of the _wager. The
swimmer, however, crossed the river without
displacing one of the articles, and won - the
bet." •
Proceeding.—The Norristown Waifll
- states that on the 2lst ult., the petition
of Dr. J. B. Dunlap, of that borough, was
presented to the Orphans' Court, then sitting,
praying said Court for permission to adopt a
female child, about one \oar oil, which the
Dr. has had in his care and keeping fur sever
al months. The Court after examining the
matter, granted the prayer of the petitioner,
and decreed that the child should as , .tinte the
mini-! of the adopting_paren - rftml have all the
rights, and be subject to the duties of a child
horn of his body. This proceeding is under
an Act of .ks , .emblv. passed May 4, - 155, and
is the first of the kind in Montgomery county.
It creates the same relations between the
:Ai:piing parent and child that exist between
parents; and their immediate offspring.

A Good Anecdote.
• Our Republican friends, some of whom have
been bragging of the lion. John Brough's
apostaey from Democratic principles, may be
pleased to know how far their exultittions are
founded on truth.—By the following, from the
lfl Sentinel, it will be seen that the
gentleman has not,"left"- the Democratic par
ty, but is in with a will for his "good brother
lluchanan:"
Caught a Tartar.—At the Abolition Know
Nothing meeting on Saturday. evening, John
Brough was several times vociferously called
fur. So persistent was the "crowd" in their
demands for a speech from Brough, that he
could not well avoid making an explanation,
which he did, much to the chagrin of those
who thought they "had him fixed."
Mr. B. said that if he Made a speech, be
was afraid' it would be a Democratic speech,
for he never made any other in his life. Voi
ces in the crowd cried out "let it be a Demo
cratic speech, but not a Locoforo speech."
"Gentletnery,' said Mr. Brough, "I am afraid
a
it would .be Locofoco speech, for I feel that 1
am yet so much of a Locufoco that if I was to
serape my heel against the pavement - it would
ignite."
"Well, well, let it he a Locofoco speech, but
a free.speoch and Fremont:"
"Gentlemen," continued the good natured
and humorous speaker, "if _I was to speak now,
I think I should have to. speak in favor of my
ffood brother Buchanan."
"Whew ! don't speak then !" The Aboli
tion portion of the crowd was no longer anx
ious to hear Mr. Brough.-

One of Webster's Jokes.—ln 1852, when the
Whig Convention was in session, first Caine
news that Oen. Seett, who was prone toi dis
play, particularly in plumage, was nominated
for—the Presidency. Then came news that
William A. Graham, of North Carolina, the
land of - tar, pitch and turpentine, was nomi
nated to the Vice Presidency. When this hit
ter pieee of intelligence was conveyed to Mr.
Webster, he was engaged in shaving himself.
He stopped, and having heard the news, re
marked in his low, emphatic manner, as he
deliberately wiped his razor—,•' Well, I do not
see, thee, but that the Whig party have tarred
and feathered entselves.v----

men of "Young Americani:qn," we think is
too good to be lost. One night Freddy had
been put to bed, and mother and Johnny were
in an adjoining room. Presently Johnny cut
up some, caper, on which mother threatened
to "take him into the other room and whip
him."
"Mother," said his Freddy's voice finder the
bed-(•lathes, "1 know where to take him."
• "Where?" said limiter, whys° curiosity
was excited.
"Pd take him under the left ear!"

ThpuTar AMUNCIPPIII.I.—The Westminster
Review has a very able and interesting article
on popular amusements. The writer says
"we have laws innumerable for making and
keeping men grave ; is it possible to devise
others whieh, if they do not make them mer
ry, may aiTeast elevate and refine them when
dispOsed of-their own accord to be so? Are
go-vernments awl statute books, in short, to
be always a terror to evil-doers,- but never
able or allowed to render the life of labor
more endurable, 'or the life of leisure more
dignified?"
,DD'A French paper relates a singular and
startling incident:—At a ball lately given at
Port Loui, near'Lorient, while a young lady
was waltzing, she felt the bawl by which she
was supported become stone cold, and looking
into the face of her partner found his features
to he deadly pale and horribly contracted.—
She fainted at the sight and fell to the ground,
whilst the cavalier dropped at her side. The
lady was taken up and recovered, but the life
of the gentleman was extinct. She maintains
that he was dead several seconds before she
room with him after he was a corpse. •A'very
fair French story !
Imagination.—A man who had been sen
tenced
,to death at Vienna, was offered a full
pardon if he would consent to pass the night
in the bed of a person %vim had died of the chol
era. In_ about'four hours he was seized with
vomiting, violent cramps, and all the symp
toms of cholera. Ultimately, by medical as
sistance, his lite was saved. Ifis astonish
ment was unbounded, when he was informed
that the bed was perfectly pure. •

the Elmira Gazette says a vote was taken in a

Bribery and Corruptiou,—The Republicans
have brought up and subsidized many news
papers in the contest, by money furnished
trout Kansas aid subscriptions and the Mari

They lately attempted to buy up the Hol
lander, a staunch Democratic paper in Otto

sums of money to the editor if he would strike
the Buchanan flag and run up that of Fremont;
but he, like an honest man, spurned their
corrupt offers, and resolved nut to sell his
principles and his country for gold.

Reasons of an Old Line Whig for Supporting
Buchanan.
*We publish below an important political
letter from M. P. Mageahan, Esq., of-Cambria
county, formerly a Whig Member of the Leg
islature, addressed to Major John Linton, who
WAS also a Whig member from the same comi
ty, and is, like Magealum, well known as a
prominent politician throughout -the State.—
Besides its sound logic, the energy of its ex
pression and the boldness of figures themselves
make the letter interesting :
Ear.ssuutto, Aug. Gth, 1850.
My Dear Sir :---The course which I have
been compelled to take in the approaching'
political contest, has elicited much. condemna
tion and some approbation-11.0m men with
whom I have acted for near, a quarter of a
century. -
It is due to my early and steadfast friends,
as well as to myself, that I should either jus
tify myself, or be the fit subject for their scorn
as a recreant from principles which* I still
have an ahiding faith in.
The cherished doctrines of Daniel Webster
and Henry Clay will receive full acquiescence
from me, so long as. reason retains her domin
ion within the , earthly ease that retains the
mind, the thoughts and energy (small though
they be) with which the Giver of i►ll good has
endowed me.
The first question which presented itself to
me after the nominations were' made was:
where is the Whig Party? To that question
we have obtained 'no satisfactory answer.—
Some tell us that it is to be fiiinat in the
stables, out houses, caverns and fence corners,
of the foul band Ceconspirators who, in' ennr ,
mity,. crime and blasphemy, have Shamed and
driven back to the gloomy shades of. eternal
desolation, the sulphuric shades of.
Denton, Robespiere, and their fellow inearnit,
tions 'of all that was vile, wicked' and horrible
dottier days. I believe ifnet ! The party so
loving the Constitution of our 061 M -try—so
faithful to the principles of self-gpvernment
—aye, that - party of Webster and Clay,•mill
our own John Sergeant
,and Walter For
ward, 'never did, and never can sacrifice:itself
in the lewd em braces of midnight conspirators,
colluding together unseen by any but the
avenging Angel, and their fit associates, IoW
Clemons spewed forth from Hell to give some
tone and character to their infernal orgies.—
The Whigs I - We, my friend,. are-'net with,
or of them.
Where, then, is that noble, trustworthy,,
true party to which we belonged! Is it to be
found in-principle or practice among the Black
Republicans ? No Ino 1. That old line Whig
cannot be found mean enough to descend from
Harrison, Clay, Webster, Taylor, Scutt, and
hosts of mighty spirits who adorned not only,
our party, and the councils of the naafi; but
human nature itself, by their brilliant talents,
pure lives, honest, fervid patriotism, to John.
C. From Ont. W hat are his antecedents? Are
they swill as would recommend him for a cum
moucciiinty,offieel Is the climbing of moun
tains, the eating of reptiles, the degrading
sentence of a court martial, the contumely
with which he was burled out of the United
States Sefate, the frandulent speculation With

cannot soar above the robbery of dm- poor

Now, sir, can- I support Millard Fillmore ?
Can_you_ support A. J. Dane ? These arc
questions not easily answered by you, You
will not ask me to support the nominee of a
Party with the filth _of stables and hog pens
hanging to their feet, redolent with the efflu
via of the dirt and mustiness of filthy haunts,
calumniate all that is dear to me. Vagabonds
knowing no law, no God, dare to arraign
Christian doctrines and practices as the stan
dard of their milignant . hearts, and with dis
positions engendered in the regions of eternal
misery, claim to crush and destroy all who
will not deny their Gild, their religion and
icir court ry rs ins t u ions, and - liiiw - down to
the accursed ldul which they wish to erect on
the ruins of the great fabric erected by our
fore-fathers cemented in their blood, and in all
the vicissitudes of political commotion, held to
revered—almost adored by their descendants
of all parties. Now with spirit aceursed the
demon has entered into the Eden of Freedom
awl attempted to pervert, mislead and misdi
rect thepu.blie mind, luring it from the paths
of peaceful happiness to disorder, severance of
society, and all the evils attendant on intoler
ance, religious and sectional jealousies.
When this bold attempt was made by wick
ed and designing men, the good and true
l
friends of their cuntry looked on with apathy
and scorn. , , No friend of his country's laws
.would believe that other than ignorance, base
low bred bigotry could be induced to enter
into so unhallowed a combination against
the institutions planned by Washington and
perfected by the far seeing statesmen of the
Revolution and their descendants.
But we were mistaken. The Fillmores, the
Donelsons, the Johastons, Conrails, Critten
dens, and others of kind - red feeling felt no
shame in joining and intimately associating
with the vagabond outcast in midnight cabins,
awl secretly binding themselves to their ruf
fianly 'confederates by oaths so horribie impi
ous and blasphemous that none who -has at
spark of christiau feeling or brotherly love

would do aught but recoil in dread from the.
fearful profanation. •
Yet this is the man l The great recipient
of Whig favor, for whom I am now asked to
vote. For he and his myrmidons declare to
the world that the son of the Revolution,
whose ancestors acquitted themselves with
honor during that tremendous *trump i
) be
cause of his belief in the creed handed down
by them to hini, 'must be oitracised and driv
en beyond the pale not Poly of freedom, but
of civilization itself.
• I will not by my ,voto - inyoke Fillmore and
DonelsOn to make my ion a parka.
But I fear I tire you. I can support Bu
chanan because ho never advocated a violation
of the constitution ; because I fincerely believe
that he and his adherents axe•the only nation
al party loving the constitution, and having
an' unyielding determination to preserve the
integrity of the Union at all and every risk.
And because , the principles of religious
equality would be as safe and, sure in his hands
as they were in the days of Washington and
of Jackson.
