David Wtl m.t,'to whose noble and manly stand in behalf of Freedom, must be attributed much o: the honor and glory appertaining to jhe district so faithfully represented by Mr.-Grow. Indeed, so clcsely is Judge Wilmot identi fied with .the enlightenment and progress of that important district,.that it is now more generally known as the “Wilmot District.” . The Bee says : 1 Mr Grow was born in Windham county, Connecticut. His parents emigrated to North ern Pennsylvania while be was yet a child. I lisTdlher died when this son was three years of age, leaving his family in reduced cir cumstances. An elder brother aided the ob ject o( this sketch in obtaining an education, and lie graduated at Amherst College, Mass. .the age of twenty-one, in the year 1844. In the year of 1850 he was first elected to Congress by a singular accident in politics. The Democrats of the district were divided, and ,had two candidates in the field, each claiming lo he the regular nominee. Eight days before the election, both agreed lo resign •if Mr. Grow would be the candidate. He Jnd left his'law office the fall-before by rea son of ill health, and was spending Ihe .Sommer, working on a farm, plowing, peeling .bark, end surveying. He was waited upon in Ins retirement by a friend of each candi d.ve, lo ascertain his feelings. They found him with a set of hands on the public high way, rebuilding a bridge that had been car ried away by a freshe'. He acceded lo their proposition to be a candidate for Con, gress, and boililhe other candidates resign! d, and a Convention was called which placed Mr. Grow in nomination just one week be fore his election. He was elected by 1,25 U majority and in 1851 look his seal in the lluu,e of Representatives the youngest mem ber of ihe Thirty-second Congress, and with one or two exceptions, of the Thirty-third Congress also. He is now serving his fourth term in Congress. The second time he was elected by 7,500 majority ; the third lime, by a unanimous vole of the district, he having received the unanimous nomination of all parlies, for his able and manly resistance to the passage of the Kansas-Nebraska bill: Ibe fourth lime he was elected by a larger vote than he received when he had no oppo sition. His district, previous lo ihe repeal of the Missouti Compromise, gave uniformly about 2,500 Democratic majority, but in consequence of the noble stand taken by Mr. Grow on the door of Congress, and upon the slump, before the people, his district .gave Col. Fremont 10,000 majority. When Gov. Banks was running for speaker of the House, he was urged to let his name be used as a candidate, but he declined the honor for him self, and urged his friends to “stick to Banks,’’ which advice they followed, and by which the first decisive battle against (be slave pow er Was achieved. An Unsuccessful Chase. —Officer Kee nly from Rochester went up lo Steuben county a few days since, to assist in Ihe ar rest of a couple of fugitives from justice, from Indiana, who left that Slate to avoid Jailing into the hands of the populace at the lime of the recent demonstration against the horse stealing'fraternity there. The assist ance of a Deputy Sheriff having been Hpcured at Bath, the party proceeded on Wednesday morninglothe southpanof that county, near the Pennsylvania line, where the fugitives were known lobe. The iwo men wanted were in different houses, about a mile apart. The officers approached one of the houses at about 5 o'clock in the morning, and placing a guard outside, Mr. Keeney entered ; but the rogue was evidently on a va ch and prepared to run, for he immedi ately jumped from a window of his sleeping room and took to the woods, without boots, hat or coat. He the speed of a deer, and the officers were unable to overtake him ; and two shots bred from a pistol failed to take effect. The officers spent but little time rn search for this fugitive, but jumping into their sleigh, drove with all speed to (he residence of the other man, confident that at least one woqld he secured. . But jhey were 100 late; the few minutes which had been occupied in the pursuit of the first fugitive was improved in giving notice to the other; and he, 100, was “off.” All search and enquiry for the fugitives proved fruitless; indeed, it could scarcely be otherwise in a region where everyj third man one meets is as likely to bean accomplice oi the rogues ns one who would facilitate their arrest, —Elmira Advertiser, Lusua Nature.—We were shown a few days since, an exceedingly curious freak of nature, as presented by a lamb..

Swiukle, Esq. This individual comes of one of the most ancient families of whiqh history anywhere makes mention. He inherits all and singular the virtues which bless ed a lung line of ancestors, as well as the faults and foibles which rendered their aggregated lives, *stale t flat and unprofitable 1 * to the world, in general and in particular; therefore, whoever meets Swinkie, E>q., may rest assured that his eyes behold an epit ome oi the family—a Swinkie of alt lime, past, pres, ent and lo come. We met the adolescent Swinkie at school; not in any one school, but in every district we found a rep* reaenlulivc of the house of Swinkie. He was si- \ ways older than his years if not wiser than his time. He was grave and sedate under all ordinary circumstances which appealed to! the risibles of his schoolmates, and unbent his solemn phiz on thuse occasions only when he, Swinkie, tried to be funny. On such occasions the cuchinatory exercise extend, ed throughout the entire crowd; not that Swinkie really said a witty, or a funny thing, even ; but that the unction of his laugh at his own wit was catch ing and we all took it in the natural way. He wo* remarkable, from Jus cradle—as was gathered from his own Hp&; but then, his greatness was hereditary, and he could no more help being born with it than he could help being introduced to this lower world as Swinkie* He,started out with the best of inten tions toward Swinkie; and for the present and fu lure advantage of that ambitions individual he was ready to do anything and everything within the moral law. as construed by Swinkie. All the delin quencies of his fellow juveniles tleaked through him into the master's ear. Not that he cared for law and good order; not that he loved forbidden fruit less, but that he loved Swinkie more. And from that day to this we have found no lack of representatives of that ancient family. Swinbie takes to the professions, mainly. He has talents which may not be used properly elsewhere. He is ambitious of preferment and not without hope; for the ancient family of Swinkie has extensively en joyed the loaves and fishes, and of the long list of names of those who have worn the livery of public servants, every third ia “ Swinkie.” He would like lobe President, but will lake up with something less.

In politics our subject is somewhere , no doubt; but where 7 Ah! that's another thing entirely. He has as many positions as Cock Robin had mur derers. The hue of his political opinions depends upon as many conditions as does the hue of the ca meleon. With bis democratic friends it is we will do” sound so; with his Republican friends it is “we gave them Jesse." Thus it happens now and then that men fall into fierce disputes about the true color of Swinkie, Esq.; and as the witnesses on all sides are credible enough, the rational conclusion is, that our hero is pro-slavery and anti-slavery, rhu lalto and Black Republican, Lccomplon and anli- Lecomplon, all and singular, “one and.lndivisible,** be the same more or less. Our own opinion is, that Swinkie, Esq., is in favor of everything that is sup posed to be in favor of Swinkie, Esq. Have you seen Swinkie? Some of our miscalled democratic exchanges are utterly bewildered. Where to go in this emergency they don t know. If some kind friend would but show them which cat will scratch out the other’s eyes oot in the end, it would save our troubled con temporaries a deal of corkscrewing and chasing his Satanic Majesty around the stump. It distress es us beyond measure to see our erring brethren so inconsistent with themselves. In one breath they declare that there is no division in the democratic ranks : and in the very next, deplore the unhappy circumstances which array Douglas and Buchanan in opposition to each other. These editors must soon choose which they will serve, Gog, or Magog. If Gog be Gog, serve him ; but if Magog be Gog, serve Aim. We trust they will now see their way ” distinclfully plain.” Republicans occupy a remarkably pleasant posi tion. They have nothing to do but to sit quietly as spectators of this edifying internecine “ skriin mage.” They cahiwhile away the time by singing —“ How pleasant'tia to see. Brethren and friends agree !” and other appropriate hymns. The quar. rel is entirely outside the main question upon which Republicans make their final stand. Wc ask not only freedom fur Kansas, but unconditional freedom for every foot of the public domain. Kansas is but a comparative speck in the vast domain yet to be ent into States. The great battle is but just begun Senator Seward to the contrary, notwithstanding. The stake is, Freedom lor the territories: and the admission of any more slave Stales should be op posed on the ground that no government is Repub lican in form which recognizes slavery as anything but an outrage and a crime against humanity. CONGRESS. —This body spent Thursday the sth inst., in vain attempts to hit upon something good for Burns—of Ohio. Burns is charged with having suddenly changed his opinions in the matter of I.ccomplon, under the influence of a dose of pot ronage administered by Dr. Buchanan. Mr. Hoard, of N. Y., has vainly ashed the House for an ante, mortem examination of Burns, day after day, lor many days. Burns kicks and squirms like the boy that cried about being washed because he didn't like to be clean, and who was then told by his mother to “go and be dirty, not fit to be seen !” Mr. Hoard claimed that Executive patronage had been used to influence the action of the House on Lecomplon. Mr. Marshall thought best to postpone the invesliga. tion one month. Mr. Burnett objected to postpone ment because an early hearing was justly due Burns* Then Burns sent up a written statement to the desk of the Speaker, setting forth that be, Burns, would hereafter overwhelm him, Hoard, with the avalanche of hie. Barn's, contempt. Also denying that he had either directly or indirectly, received any considera tion for his vote. Mr. Hoard said that Mr. Harris, of Illinois, bad twice endeavored to get Die floor to make an affirmation of the truth of what Mr. Burns denied. Mr. Blair, Mo., oflered some evidence in corroboration of Mr. Hoard's statement. Nichols, of Ohio, said that Burns was not guilty, but that no member was ignorant of the fact that it bad been the practice ot all Administrations to bribe Congress with patronage. Hereupon the veteran biddings asked Mr. Nichols to make an exception in favor of the Administration of John Quincy Adams. Well, Mr- Nichols made the exception and then moved la lay the resolution of inquiry on the table. Mr. Burns oflered an amendment asking that a Com mittee be appointed to investigate his case, which resolution so amended was accepted by Mr. Hoard,- and adopted by a vole of 92 to 80. Neither house was in session Friday and Saturday, therefore this is the latest that has reached as.

Correspondence of jbe X. American amJ 17. S. Gazette. From Harrisburg. Harrisburg, Feb. 24. There has been little of interest done here to day. The two marked events of the ses sion of the Legislature were the presentation of a report by Mr. Buckalew in behalf of the majority of the Special Kansas Committee, in the Senate ; and the appearance of the an ti-Wilmot Committee, from Bradford county, before the Judiciary committee of the House. They made a number of speeches before the committee very denunciatory of Judge VVil mot. But when asked by McClure,of Ftank lin,’ whether they would say, as lawyers and meo, that they had ever known Judge Wil mol to be guilty of partiality in his judicial decisions, on account of the political opinions of any man, they refused to answer the ques tion categorically. In fact, not one of them would answer it any way, save by long speeches the inferential tenor oT which was, they thought so. When the question was put directly and so pointedly, a second time, that they could not escape from it, they hesitated and filtered, and at last some young lawyer —1 think his name is Overton, declared that he believed so. Many of the leading Democrats doubt the constitutional, power of the Legislature to p iss a bill of ihe character proposed. We shall have some definite action’in a few days relative to it.

JOHN A. FISHER, Chairman. Geo. S. King, Secretary. Democratic Slate Convention. Harrisburg, Milch 5, 1058. The Democratic State Conviention reassem bled Ibis morning. The Committee on Reso lutions unanimously reported, declaring that the principle involved in the repeal of the Missouri Compromise, and asserted in the Kansas-Nebraska act, “that the people of the Territories shall have Ihe exclusive con trol of their domestic institutions,” is the only sure guarantee against agitation in the nation in regard to the local institutions of the Stales and Territories ; that by the uni form application of this democratic principle to the organization of the Territories, and the admission of new Sjiales, with or without Slavery, ns the people may elect, the equal rights of all Stales will he preserved, the original compacts of the Constitution main tained, and the inviolate harmony and per petuily of ihe Union preserved. The resolutions are very long. They fully sustain the Lecompton Constitution and Presi dent Buchanan. Mr. Siokes of Westmoreland offered a substitute presenting the views ofthe minority of the Committee, and declaring that the acceptance of the Lecompton Constitution would be Congressional usurpation j and that members of Congress voting for Lecompton would be guilty of moral treason.

It is added that when Sabourin was taken to the Police Court, Malo followed him shouting frantically, “Doctor, vomit your innocence or guilt, I will give you some emetic io which thq Doctor replied, “He was not going to make himself sick to please Mr. Malo.” S “Altogether, this is a remarkable case.

The Pilgriji Shorter, of Alabama, said the other day, in the House: “The Pilgrim falhers, indeed! Sir, 1 have a sovereign contempt for tlUe memory of the Pilgrim Fathers.

It is the religion of the Bfoston clergymen, who violate ihe seventh commandment m go ing to and returning fromifihe evening Ipc lures; and who, when exposed to the indig nation of a virtuous community, are lionized and feted by the fairer porjion of their flocks! In my judgment, Mr. Chjiijanan, the greatest calamity that ever befel our country was that event which clothed Plymouth Rock with its historic associations.

He is to be permitted to do this when “facts shall come to his know|. edge'iyhtch raise a reasonable doubt!” The power of so commuting the penalty in capital cases has been long given,'bv law to the Gov. ernors of Massachusetts and other Siales. Indeed, a practice*' has grown into usage in this Stale, which permits the Governor virtu ally to exercise this power. For instance, if a parly is condemned to death, and the war rum for the execution is signed, the Governor reprieves him, and no day) is fixed for his ex ecution. The culprit is, thus permitted by a non-exercise of his po'yel, to live on in pris on. Thus, Simon Crreen, condemned to death and sentenced to Ibe hung a year ago, was reprieved without day, and still lives.— Gov. Packer will not assume to order his ex ecution when his predecessor refused to do it. There is another case in' one of the interior counties, where the party has been imprisoned more than ten years.
