The Wisconsin Legislature have for mally considered a proposition to abolish all laws for the collection of debts The mover of the bill—Mr. Elmore—is a great wag, as is evidenced by the follow mg extract from his speech upon that subject; The speaker proceeded to review the present system of collecting debts It was all a humbug and a cheat, a matter of technicalities and legal shuffling. Law yers gave advice in order to obtain a fee and encourage litigation. Judges made blunders and mistakes. He bad little ex perience in the law and that was rich [Laughter.] He would give a history of it. The speaker then related how he had purchased a yoke of oxen about fif teen yeara ago—paid fifty dollars for them—a few days after, the son of the man of whom he bought the oxen came to him and said the oxen were his. He insisted on having pay over again, and commenced a suit before a justice. The jury didn’t agree. Finally, through the blunders, of the Bushwood Justice of the Peace, the case went against him. Ho appealed it to the Circuit Court in Mil waukie. There I lost again and said to my lawyer: “ I will give you ten dollars to quote Pennsylvania law to Judge Mil ler and have a new trial ordered.” [Great laughter ] He took the ten dollars and performed the duty. .A new trial was then granted, and venue changed to Walworth county. Judge Ir win was then the’ Judge. Any man who wanted to gain a case in his court bad either to go hunting with him and let the Judge claim all the game that was shot, or else pat his dog. WeH, I patted the dpg. [Laughter,] I fed the dog with crackers. [Renewed laughter.] The case was decided in iny favor. When I heard the decision I thought to myself the upg had followed me long enough—-I gave him a kick—[laugh °f the dog had naioly subsided ere I heard the Judge say, “Mr. Clerk, this judgment is set aside pud a tnal granted.” [Great laughter.]— Mr. Speaker, that kick cost toe $2OOl [Convulsive laughter.! Ypu have no doubt seen asuit in a Justice 1 ? Court in thecoun fy. If here is time spent by jurors and "fngers on, besides other costs, at lea<& $5O, besides the ill feelings and disseri sions caused by it. It is alia cheat. The litigants had better set down and play a game of odd sledge to decide the ease. It would be more sure to settle the disputes justly.'

Mr. McDuffie is cool as a oowoumber, though they say he’s got a terrible tempest inside of him, that he’ll let out before long. For my part i think the President’s message is about right I was Betting with the President in the east room last night, chatting about one thing and another, and the President says he, Major Downing, have you read my mes sage that I sent to Cohgresa to-day? I told him I hadn’t. We|l, says he, I should like to have you read and give me your opinion upon it So be handed it to me and 1 sot down and read it through- And when I got through, now, says I, General, 111 tell youjest whot I think of this ere business. When I was a young, ster, some of us Downingville boys used togoaown to Sebago pond every spring and hire out a month dr two carting logs across the pond. And one time I and cousin Ephraim and Joel, and Bill John son, and two or three more of us, had each a whopping great log tb; carry across the pond. It was rather a windy day, and the waves kept the logs bobbing up and down considerably bad, so we agreed tb bring ’em along side an 4 side, and lash ’em together and drive some thole pins in the outermost logs, and row fern over together. We went along two or three miles pretty well. And, by and by. Bill Jones Degun to complain. He was Always an uneasy, harumscaruin sort of a cap. Always thought everybody x elae had an easier time than he had, and, when he was a boy, al ways used to be complaining that the other boys had more better oiji their bread than he had. Well, Bill was irowingon the lee ward side, and he begun to fret and said his side went the hardest, and he wouldn’t giyb us any peace till obe of unchanged sides with him. Well, Sill hadn’t rowed but a little ways 9n the windward side before he begun to fret again and declared thjat side went hard er than ’tother, and he Wouldn’t touch to row on that side any longer. We told him he had his choice, and he shouldn’t keep changing so. But he 'only fretted the more, and begun to get ibad. At last he declared if we didn't change with him In five minutes, he'd cut the lashes, and take bis log and paddle off albne. And before’ we had hardly time to trim round, he de clared the five minutes ‘were up, and up with hatchet and out the lashings, away went Bill on his own leg, bobbing and rolling about, and dancing like a monkey to try to keep on the upper side. The rest of us scrabbled to as Well as we could, aud fastened pur logs together again, though we had a tuff match for it, the wind blew so hard. Bill had not gone but a lit tle ways before his log begun to roll mote and more, and by and by in he went, splash, head and ears. He came up puf fing and blowing, and tried to climb up bn it, but the more he tried the more the log rolled; and finding it would be gone goose with him pretty soon if be stayed there, he begun to sing out like n loon for ns to come and take him. We asked him which side he would row if we would take his log into the raft again t 0, says Bill, I'll row on either side, or both sides, if ybu want me to, if you’ll only come and help me before I sink. • ,smd the President, I hope you didn t help the foolish rascal out till he got a pretty good soaking. He got soaked enough before we got him, rays I, for he was jest ready to sink for the last time, and our logs eamie pesky hear getting scattered, and if they had,; we should have all gone to the bottom And now Gmeral, this is jest what I think: if you let South Carolina put the lashings you 11 see such a log rolling in this coun try as you never see yet. The old Giner a| started up an<| marched across the floor like a boy; Says he, Major 'Downing she wen t out the lashings while my name is Andrew Jackson. Tell Sargent Joel to have his sleep on their arm's every night. I told him they should be ready at a moment’s, warning 1 wish’you would give Cousin Epbraim know why he don’t wnto to me and let me-know how the Legielator Is getting along. I remain your loving friend, Majoe Jack Downing. “ I vants to shippen der Lncila,” y •.’foreigner to the clerk in a shipping t( Well,” said the clerk, pen in hand, “ what's your name ?” “ It is Hans Nannootebiastinidtadnede museighyporobelkvenxquiigwpaintetismn- Elurint,” said Duchy, gravely,-spitting out is old quid and taking in a fresh one. “Heaven I” said the clerk,l can't write that.

Reverdy Johnson on Than* 3*7 lest, at the close of an argument on the Albany Bridge ease May it please your Honors, indulge me with a word or v two more before I oon* ofatde. i This may be the last time that the Coart will sit ib peaoeftol judgment on a Consti tution acknowledged and obeyed by all.— God, In hia providence, and for our sins, may, in biainscrutable wisdom, suffer the folly and wickedness of this generation to destroy the fairest, noblest fabric of con stitutional freedom ever erected by man. Its whole histoiy, from the moment of its operation even to the present hour, bean evidence of its unrivalled excellence.— Our country, our whole country, has, from the first, prospered under it, and because o/if, with a rapidity, and in a manner, before or sinoe unknown to nations. That prosperity vindicates the wisdom and pa triotism of its great and good founders. Is this prosperity now to cease ? Is it now to be dashed to the earth ? Are the hopes of civilised man, the world over. ' now to be blasted ? Are we to become the jest, the scorn, the detestation of the people of the earth ? Is aU memory and reverence for the great dead, who living we admired and adored, to bo now forgot ten r Ib all gratitude for the mighty, try ing struggles, of our fathers now to end t warnings, the parting warnings of the peerless man of aU this world now to be disregarded and despised? Is the country of Washington, consecrated by his valor, wisdom, and virtue to freedom and jjeace, now to be converted into a wild scene of disorder, fraternal strife, blood forbid 7** ® e * ven m its mercy ' May it staythearm of the madman, ar rest it ia mid-career before it strikes the fttal parioidal blow. May it give time for reason and patriotism, to resume their sway ? May it remove the delusions of the, misguided, strengthen the efforts of the patriotic, impart heavenly fire to tho eloquence of the faithful statesman j silence, by the universal voice of the good and true men of the nation, the utterings of treason now tainting the air and shock* ing the' ear. of patriotism, and the whin mgs of imbecibility, now discouraging and sickening the honest public heart! May it, above all, re-kindle that fraternal love which bound us by ties stronger, in- , finitely stronger, than any which mere government can create, during the whole of our Revolutionary, struggle, and has since cheered ns on our pathway to the power and renown which has made us, until now, the wonder and admiration of the world ! Bat if all shall fail us and ruin come; “ phaos, worse than chaos, is to be otit fate, the spirit of those who have depart ed, and the survivors who have adminls tcred justice in this tribunal in the gen eral wreck and wretchedness that will ensue, will he left this consolation: that Uieir recorded judgments, now, thank the nob inheritance of the world, and beyond the spoiler’s reach, will, till tune shall he no more, testify to the spot- Iras integrity, the unsurpassed wisdom, the ever bright patriotism of the men who from the first have served their coun tnr in this temple, sacred to justice and duty, and the matchless wisdom of one fathers, who bequeathed it and commend od it to the perpetual reverence and sup. port oT their sons, and remain a never dying dishonor and reproach to the sons who shall have caused or permitted its destruction; What is lan ?—The mere elapse of years is not life. To eat, and drink/and sleep—to be exposed to darkness and the light— to pace around the mill of habit, and turn thought into an implement of trade—this is not life. In all this but a poor fraction of the conciousness of hu manity is awakened, and the sanctities still slumber which make it worth while to be. Knowledge, truth, love, beauty, goodness, faith, alone can give vitality to the mechanism of existence. The laugh of mirth that vibrates through the hearts —the tears that freshens the dry wastes within the music that brings childhood back—the prayer that calls the future near—the doubt which makes us meditate —the death which startles us with mys tery the hardship which forces us to struggle—the anxiety that ends in trust —are the true nourishments of our nata. ral being.
