The great cry against the rarlianieiitary
reform proposed by .Mr. J'aiglit. in Kng
land, is tliat he wishes to Americanise
Knglui:d. At a huge meeting held at
Manchester, December FJtli, Mr. llright
rej'lied to this charge as follows :
' Hut ttill 1 know exactly how we .shall
be met ' You are going to Americanise
us.' (Laughter.) iNothing is so dread! it 1
to an Englishman who is thinking of emi
grating across the Atlantic as tliat we
shoulti be Americanized ill F.nglund.
(Laughter.) That is a phraso coined by
tome cunning knave, (laughter.) intended
;o catch a good muny simple dupes, and
no doulit it will catch swue of them : but
I should like to ask thest gentlemen
whether representation is not an Fnglish
custom und an F.nglish principle. They
were Englishmen who tirst took it to the
I'nitcd States. (Cheers.)
It is said that wherever an Englishman
goes, just as he takes with him his w hite
skin, he takes with him tho foundation of
representative institution, lie has taken
them already to the cape: he is ul ready
as busv as nosMblo in building up four or
five monarchical republics in Austrulia ; he
has carried tho representative svst'.'in to
Canada; he carries il wherever he goes.
Why, the bill of 1S:!2 was a dc.-perate
measure iu the direction ol Americanizing
us. It took some boroughs, where twelve
members of a corporation returned the
members to l'ai liainent. and il gave the
KUtl'ruges to homo 5,000 of the peopl
Was notthat Americanizing such boroughs
with a veiiL'eaiico. (Laughter.) The more
you extend your representation, the more,
of course, you become like that systematic
anil theoreliiully perfect representation
which exists in the United Slates. (Hear,
hear.)
1 uin not insensible to some things that
appear to me to be errors in principle
some that are errors in M'ueticc in the
Constitution and customs of the United
Stales, but I protest against our being
shut up to lake nothing from America but
cotton, ami rice and tobacco, (laughter
'and cheers,) nnd, in fact, we do take n

my friend, Mr. l'lalt, a member of a very
eminent thin in this neighborhood, has a
wonilcrfiil machine from America with
which to make bricks. We. know that the
agriculture of this country has been great
ly advantaged by the importation of reaps
ing machines from America. We know
that those persons who are going about so
apprehensive of innovation, have particu
lar reason to lie delighted with America,
because they have received from that
country tho invention of Ihe revolver.
(Laughter.)
At ibis moment, in the government pmnll
arms establishment nt Enfield, they have
patent machinery from America for mak
ing gun stocks. They can turn out n gun
stock, 1 urn told, in twenty-two minutes,
Jit for the band. What a dreadful thing
to think ot! (Laughter.) And 1 i' in sure
that Mr. Miles, if ids protectionist princi
ples have not long ago descried him, will
be horrified to hear that they have actu
ally brought Americans over to show tho
En.Ji-h how to work tliem : (continued

Further than this, don't yon remember

"Into the jaws of death,

volunteered toattend these dying couches.
One half of these fell victims to that terri

Joe Bowers' Wedding-.
The county of-

tains, boasts of one of the
'est judges in
California. On the bench he i
i firm, de-
ci'led niitl prompt, not earing the
na p of
a finger for either (he applause of friend
or tht! muttering ol enemies, lie is per
haps the most devoted man to the law in
all creation, and has his head so full of
what ho terms judicial tnlk, that ho not
ur.frequently finds himself making learn
ed ehnrgesnnd passing scntenco outside of
the court-room.
n a recent oecnsion the judge was call
ed upon to exercise tho power nnd autho
rity in him vested, in the caso of a couple
who desired to have their bunds united in
the bands ol wedlock. Of course ho con
sented to perform tho pleasing duty, mid
nt the appointed evening wns prompt
on hand at the house ut which tho ntlnir
was to come off. Tho room was crowded

and nono looking more dignified and hap
py than the Judge hiinscK, who was dress
ed to nbou; an inch of his lifo.
1 1 is customary on occasions of the kind
referred to. for the good folks . of Ihe
mountain towns to pass around tho wine
quite freely, ami (o (heir everlasting cre
dit, we w ill add, they consider it no harm
for every one to manifest his interest iu
the event by getting "lively." The Judgo
is nn ardent admirer of the fair sex, link
ing in the course of his own lifo led tho
third one to the ullar. To ttso his own
language, he is a great believer in wed
dings, and that he should get a littlo mel
low amid the glorious scenes of the even
ing, was not to be wondered at by those
who knew him intimately. He had tho
weakness of all good judges; he would
take his toddy.
The wine hail passed round ami round.
Tho music had eeased. The time for ma
king Joseph Bowers nnd Nancy llaikins
one, had arrived. Every heart throbbed
with the most delightful emotions. Tha
young gentlemen desired to know how
Joe would stand it, and the young ladies
were anxious to seo how 'Naneo' would
sull'er tho anxious shock. Others again
who had observed closely tho turn ail'airs
took, fixed their attention upon thc Judgo
to sec how he would conic out of tho
scrape.
At length the trying moment was an
nounced ; the Judge arose very cautious
ly from the chair, w hich lm had occupied
in one corner of (he room, nnd, casting
his eye over (he coinpanv, he singled out
the siierilf of the county, who was present
ns an invited guest. The Judge lmd just
imbibed enough to make him forget thtf
nature of his business-, lie was full of his
'judicial talk," und requiredjnothing but
t he presence of the sheriff to start him.
Looking sternly at the oflicer he shouted ;
"Mr. sheriff, open the court, and call b
ord,;:-!"
A general titter followed thi-i command,
in the midst of w hich tin? sheriff" took the
"court" gently by the arm und led him to
his seat in the corner, at die same time in
forming the august personage of the mis
take. Every thing now hid fair for npleiisnnt
ami sudden termination of the ulliiir, un
til another unneyanee, which wa nothing
el e than the abseiiei' of the bridegroom,
was observed. It turned out that he hail
ju-t stepped ncross to join hisfriends in u
drink, but before his return, fomo cold
blooded wng had whispered in the ear of
our fogy the cause of "delay in the pio
ceedings, Instantly the chair in the cor
ner moved, nnd in that dircclion nil eyes
were fixed.
"Mr. Sherill', (slow ly baw led the judge,)
bring Joe into coin t on a supenar" the
Judge hail his own way of pronouncing
tho word then nddressing the bride who
stood in tho foreground nnd hung her
head in deep confusion, he added : "I
s'spose you are the plaintiff. Well don't
take on'. Innocence nnd virtue will he
protected by this here court "
This was tho saddest blunder of tliCni
all. The Judgo was ngain made to see his
mistake, and would have been considera
bly set back, had it not been for a correc
tion in the shape of forty drops of thc crit
ter, which he instantly applied.
Inn few minutes all wns ready in right
down earnest. The bridegroom had arri
ved full of joy. Tho company pressed
forward. The excitement wns intense.
Ho evidently felt every inch n judge.
"J -.l-o-c B-B-o-w-e-r-s," commenced the
man of law, in that distressing style of
speech with w hich lie was invariably trim
bled when under the inlliier.ee of liquor :
",1-J-o-e B o-w-e-s-s, stand up. llavc
y-y-o u anything to say w-w-why s-s sen
tence "
"Slop, slop, slop, Judge, (shouted Ihe
sherill' from the back put ol the room
You are not going lo hang (he man, but
to marry him."
The Judge drew a long breath ami blin
ked rnpidiv, but stood his ground wolf.
Recovering himself he proceeded :
Joe Bowers, tlo you take Nancy TLir
kins for your wife So help you (iod !"
This wits a tolerable effort, nnd Jo
nodded assent
"N-Naney llarkins, it remains for this;
court to"
Here the sherilT ngain interrupted (he
Judge, reminding him oftho lenl husine
of the evening. "Mis .N Nancy, (resu
mod the Judge, nfler being set light,) do
y-you take ,1-Joo B-Bowcrs for a husband
t-to the best of your knowledge and be
lief? or do yon not T"
"You can Ix't I will," answered the
light-henrted Nancy.
The Judgo then took tho hands of the
happy couple and joined them, and wound
up tho business ns follows:
"It now remains for th is hero court to
pronounce you, J-Joe Bowers, nnd y-you,
Nancy llarkins, man mid wife, (ami here
tho Judge lmnscd to wipe tho perspira
tion from his face,) nnd may li-tiod Co
mity have mercy on your s-so..ls ! Sher
iff' remove the culprits':"
The oonpany roared. Joo nnd Nancy
weakened. Tho sherill' was taken with a
leaving. The Judgo let himself out with a
glass of npplejnek H was the greatest
wedding ever witnessed.
Piskntii e, oftho Louisville Joumd, snys
"Those who are ready to give thc lie, are
generally not loo brave to take quietly,
what they are not too civil to give."
That's so; and Prentice's newspaper oppo
nents in Kentucky will understand thi
extraordinary confession without further
comment.
