TOM CORWIN, OF OHIO.
A CELEBRATED CHARACTER.
THE ELOQUENT ORATOR AND IN-
1J1I1AI1E WIT.
THE STORY OF HIS EVENTFUL CA
REER TOLD.
Doubtless the inobt brilliant nnd fas.
cinatii f cratrr this country ever prr
duced wan Torn Corwiu of Ohio. Forty
years have rolled away Muco lie achieved
the moht glorious victories of bis life, yet
his uame is remtmberttl to-tlny by mil
lions who know him only by tradition
In bis interestinu reuiinihcencts .of the
membcis of the United States Senate of
1B50, llr. Johnston, who knew him per
tonally, describes Corn in ns tin "able-
bodied man of middle height, with swar
thy bide and open, intelligent counte
nance; n man of grtnt wit nnd burner
and nn enlightened ktatenman." He was
nil tbls and much more. A few weeks
before bis death Mr. Corwiu said to Mr.
Wade, "I am old nnd infirm and my race
is ne.irly run. lu the common way of
lile, I will eron be numbered with the
dsad. I fear, Mr. Wnde, I fenr men will
remember me only ns n jester."
Althongh this fear in Corwin's mind
was not altogether unfounded, yet hap
pily lor bis nittnory the judgment of bis
people bns been vastly different from
what be drtaded.
Mr. Corwin wnsconUmpornnponswilb
Webster, Clay, Calhoun, lithton, Adams
and DouglHSs, and although be won bis
very enviable aud undoing reputation
upon the sums issues, viz., the tariff na
tional bnnk, the compromise ot 1850 and
the Mexican war, yet kb a statesman be
does not Miik ultb thine men. As au
i mtor in ils strict sense be vns superior
lo nny of them aud bis ability to sway a
popnlar audience it bas been said that be
bad no tqnal iu this or nuy other coun
try. In the elegance and reflnemtnt nt
Ins style, in the beauty ai d riebnefs of
bis imagination and in the gracefulness
of his delivery bo was the pier of Tilt or
Fox of the Biitisb parliament. Alwajs
more pleasing than Webster, Clay or Cal
houn, yet less forcible and impressive
than either of these, betakts bis place in
history and Iraditir.n not us be feared as
a mere Jester, but as the most foscinatirg
orator America ever prodnced. As Fit Id-
iug was the father of the English Novel
aud Chancer of English Foetry, so C)r-
win was the first of onr gent meu who
acquired a national reputation in that
style of oratory peculiar to America
known as stump speaking.
Thomas lieuton in bis "Thirty Years
View" rrgurds Mr. Corwin as tbe most
powerful of American stump orators, a
role of which a man of no Irsscullnte
than John Quinry Adams speaks as re
quiriug "more varied talents than any
other style of the rhetorician's art."
It bos been said that nature gave bini
ii perfect voice aud lelt no room lor train
ing. It was soft round and flexible and
readily adapted itself entirely to tbe mat
ter be was delivering. In tbe short space
of a few sentences bis voioe would ex
pand from a whisper or mild conversa
tional lone peculiar to bis stjle of ora
tory, to a lotty climax that would startle
aud thrill bU thousands ol admirers lu
tbe ri molest galleries; from a voice as
pure und mellow as tbesilviry tones of a
bell or flute tn oue that would mil and
thunder and make bis bearers tremble at
iU power. And all this power was wield
ed by biui with perfect ease. Hi
tbrougbts clothed iu most beautilul und
eloquent laugnage, sprang from bis linilu
without preparation. It Hums was Na
ture's poet, Corwin was Nature's orator,
and it matters not bow long iin tilked
bis bearers never tired of him nr lelt
him, so fascinating and seductive was bis
oratory.
Even in bis most solid forenslo argu
ments be seemed tn delight in breaking
out In some lofty flight of fancy, some
rounded period iuttoood to pltsve rather
Live and Let Live.'
PA., SATURDAY, MARCH 25, 1882.
Ibnti convince, instead of pursuing tbe
solid argumentative stjla of Webster nnd
Clay. One bns but to rend his spetcbts,
many of bicb must necessarily have
lu en txtemportineone., to be convinced
tbat be was very widely nnd Iborougbly
read In both rlavslo and modern litera
ture, nnd universally Informed upon oil
subjects.
Ho shows also In bis pprrcbes nn inex
haustible fund of wit and btunnr, of most
apprrpilate auecdotts, atd eif good nn
turcd tarcasm. When these powers were
brought Into play, all bis other varied
talents, ellbnugb rare nnd brilliant, fade
Into insignificance. These cre the Ir
resistible weapons be so skillfully ban
died in debate, which made bim a terror
to all younger members In the Senate and
in tbe Honse. He was also one of tbe
most corn pnnlt liable gentlemen ev-r
lipown in Wasblrgloc. His conversa
tional powers were) only rivaled by those
of Mb oratory, and when surrounded by
tritnds telling them stories and enter
taining and amusing them in bis match
less style, be is said to have b en in bis
element. This is perhaps why he leared
men would rtuu ruber bim only ns a jester.
Few persons now living can remember
the "Hard Cider" campaign ol 1840, the
greatest achievement in tbe lite ol Mr.
Corwin. In this, tbe mostexeitlnB cam
paign in tbe history of tbls country, be
was known as the "Wagon Boy," nnd on
that title won himself tbe Governorship
of Ohio. A double victory was Mr. Cor
win's ono for for himself as Govrnor of
Ohio and the other as tbo champion ora
tor of tbe West In tbe great and success
ful attempt by tbe Whigs to elect William
Henry Harrison President of the United
States.
Tbe supposed pernicious effect of Gen.
Jackson's Administration upon tbe fi
nances of tbe ennutry, precediug a it did
tbe financial distress of 1837 and '38 un
der Vnu Bnren's Administration, culmin
ated iu tbe unprecedented uprising of the
people lo defeat Van Bnren in 1810. In
Ohio, as is not uncommon in tbe cam
paigns of that State, all business is said
to have been suspended until alter tbe
election. Harrison ran un tbe honors
gained at Tippecanoe, aud we have all
heard of tho parly war-cry of "Tippe
canoe and Tyler, too." Though Harrison
was a statesman of no mean rank, who
bad filled successfully with bis marked
ability tbe most honorable positions iu
tbo gift of tbe nation and though as a
general be had led conquering iitiuies
over fields of victe ry, yet bis highest
cininis to tbe I'residincy du not Beem to
have rested upon the fuct of bis being the
1 cm qnerttr of Tteumstb.but to bis having
been born aud raised lu a log cabin of
Ohio. So it was with Cowin whose high
er claims to gubernatorial honors were
laid aside and he was known ns the
'Wagon Boy." Huge wagons with log
cabins were token over Ohio and all the
northwest and these served as platforms
from which the eloquent Corwiu address
ed bis thousands of ndmirtrs. They
came to hear bim in vest caravans and
camped iu tents, in some large field near
the town in which ho was to speuk. This
was the campaign in which tbe peculiar
western barbecue originated, and which
was held at each successive encampment
Hundreds of bis admirers follov i d him
Irom place to place, liviug iu tbe menu
limi iu their tents and log cabins. It is
said to be a fact that upon si me of tbese
occasions Mr. Corwin would actually talk
five aud six hours to an audience num
bering thousands; an nutlieuce whose
tents and wsgonB and horses end log
cabins covered hundreds of acres. TLus
it was '.but tbe stato of Ohio aud indeed
the entire northwest was kept in n per
fect blnze of excitement for Harrison und
Corwiu, and tbo "Wagon Boy" was elec
ta! Govtruor of Ohio. Corwiu bud
against bim in Ibis contest a man of great
hold Upon tbe people named Shannon,
who was then Governor of Ohio, with a
precedent of re-election well established.
Mr. Corwin was one day riding in n
stage coach with a number of political
fliends who traveled with bim. A fine
looking lady, unknown to the party, car
rying In her armsan it fant, was tbe ouly
other occupant of tbe coacb. She did
not long leave them in igucrnnce, but
soon informed them Ibat she was a "good
Locofoca and further tban that tbe wife
of Gov. Shannon." This startled the
politician, who bad been very jovial over
the effects of "bard cider," but one with
tbe rea mess of Corwiu could not but
rood recover. Expressing himself as de
lighted to see ber, the galliut crator
placed himself beside ber and became
very attentive. He played with and car
ried in bis arms ber infuut boy, called
him tbe young Governor and spoke in
glowiug terms of tbe boy's fnture. In
his tlegaut'stjle be told ber of knowing
"her husband and spoke of his tiubounded
admiration for bim during bis political
life.
Tbe lady, charmed with bis manners,
begged to know the tnmeof the polished
gentleman whose courtesies she was re
ceiving. Corwiu evaded answering her.
and she not noticing this told Corwiu
tbat ber husband was "sure of re-election
aud not tobe defeated by tbat fellow Tom
Corwin, who was nothing after all but au
unoRltortd 'wagon boy.' " "And who,"
said Corwin, "got s over the state in a log
cabin mounted on a country wagon aud
makes ridiculous speeches." "Aud,"
suld the lady, "who isliiios.t ns black n
n neero." "Blick, nmdim, a black "
said Corwin, "yes. bl.ick ns the-well.
as bli-ck as I am." Thus tbe con v, ra
tion was coutlnuail, keeping bis friend
convulsed with smntbired laughter. Cor
wiu playing the aitreenbld with both the
mother aud the boy. At length with a
sigh of regret the lady inli nued Mr. Cor
win ihdt she bad reached her destination.
He aaslated ber to alight and carried her
boy into tbe bouse. He siw ber into ber
parlor and laid ber infant on its back iu
ber Up, Holding it there lor a moment,
be said, "My deir Mrs. Shannon, I have
laid tbe' young Goveruor flat on bis back
and I am going to eerv tbe old QowrrroT

A great many stories are told about
Corwin's elark complexion, aud no one
enjoy eel telliug tbc.ni more than be bim
sell did. Once wbeu iu tie South be said
be was Invited to attend an octoroou ball,
With ticket for admission in band Mr.
Corwin presented himself to the door
keeper, who was n ctlored mnu. "The
doorkeeper " paid Corwin, "looked nt the
tioket and tbtn looked at me; then nt the
ticket and theu closvly ut ine. After n
short exnuiinatiou tbo dooikeepir said,
'I am sony, Bir.but can't admit you; you
are a shade too dark, sir; a shade too
dark. Take the next door.' "
In Columbus, in IfUS, in company
with some prominent biayers, nmoug
whom was the cvuicil Tom Marshall, nl
Kentucky, Mr. Corwin wai putting some
good-natured fun nt Marshall about hi"
(Marshall's) career in Congress, 'larsball
with grave countenance stepped up to
bim as though be was e stranger and ad
dressed bim lu a distant jet Iriiidly man
nrr; Bald. "Sir is your tribe at pence with
the whitest"
As a jury lawyer he bad nofqnnl in bis
day. It became a popular saying among
lawyers, tbat to give Corwin the laBt
speech in defence iu a criminal case wns
tbe same as a verdict of "not guilty.'
He bad more thau avy other man ol that
day tho pnw,r of absolutely wrenching
from an uuwitldly jury a verdict to suit
himself.
Iu 1838 be ran for Congress against nn
old judge named Jackson,' who though
nn able jurist was a very weak stump
speaker. Kuowing bis power Corwin's
friends were anxious for n Joint debate
between tbe rival candidates. Judge
Jackson's friends well knowing the irre
sistible forco of Corwin's eloquence there
fore concluded to put up a job on them.
They consented to tbe debate and fixed a
place in the center of tbe District and a
day just a few days before tbe election.
Iu those days tbe people were not Inform
ed us they now are; they were without
newspapers and, as is well-known, a pop
ular speech olten turned hundreds ol
votes. Jscksou's friends knew that iu
debate Corwin made no preparation bnl
depended solely for bis arguments upon
the speech of bis opponent. They nr.
ranged therefore that the jntlge should
speak first and theu Corwin, tbeu the
judge and Corwin to close. E.ich speech
w.is limited to one hour except C rwin's
last which wns limited to half an hour,
Tbe people from all parts of tbe district
representing both parties csme and en
camped near tbe place where the del ate
wits lo be held. After the usual number
of fat oxen bad been roasted and devour
ed, the people, numbering thousands.
assembled before tbe platform to bear
tho rival candidates and determine from
the speeches which man would tbe bet
ter represent them iu Congress. Every
ono expected that Corwin wi nld iibso
Intely demolish (he judge except tin
jndge's intimate Irieuds. Mr. Corwin,
ns usual, made no preparation, but cx
pected to bas bis remarks upon three ol
tbejudgH. When the judge was called
up be merely greeted bis friends and told
them bo was not nn eiratnr but n jmlve.
that it would folly for bim lo Htttmpl
to debate with so skilllul a dt baler ns
Mr. Corwin was.audtbatbe would, there
fore, waive bis right tn tbe first hour and
nsk Mr. Corwin to proceed immediately
'ith bis speech. Al.is for tbe speech
wbloh Corwiu intended to baio upon ll.o
jndg remaiks. Ho wns so taken bnck
thit be for once foui d bin a-li unable to
talk. Gnatly lo the dis; nng. ment ol
bis friends be hindered through Lis Iir.ur
anl made n cmipltte failure. The
Judge's friends were in high spirits nnd
tbe tideofuffsirs wns greatly agsiust Cor
wiu. The Judge wns then culled out,
but agalu intimated bow uunbld be was
to cope with Mr. Corwin iu debate but.
when looking over tbe audience, seem
ingly by accident, be noticed Mr. Bor
ongh, and said he would ask dim to come
up on the platform aud say u few words.
Now John Borough, rfttrwtnd Governor
'of Ohio, wax a man ol great power on tin
stump himself. He tame forward, and,
as of course was intended, mado out ol
his s'rotigest speeches. Ibi made Inu ot
Mr. Cirw In'u speech, slludrd irunici.lly
to bia grtnt powers nsadtbilir, attacked
bis petty, nt d held bim and bis frieuos
up to ridicule.
Then canio Ihe great master of the ros
trum, who by this time bad recovrred
I roiu bis first defeat nnd. fired up. by Mr
Borough's cunslio spe-cb, was ready ami
anxious for tho attack. Ha knew that
bis tlectiou depended Uvon the next ball
hour, and so put forth bia finest iff rls.
Iu a few minutes be won the nttentinn of
the entire audien e aud launched bis
scathing ridicule and K-irca-ni at Mr.
ItoroUrth, reserving tbe Judge till ibo 1 ,
lie swayed that vast people as he plt-nsetl
nnd never was bis power over an audience
more clearly shown tban in this case He
s ood there and as be spoke they LeH id
-ml saw ai d knew n dbiug but Cor-lu.
Just t iLe Inst be turned to p.iy his re
spects to the Judge. He .aid; ' Now,
tuy count ryini-n, jou stand on Ihe eve of

Unfortunately for us who mjoj his
sarcasm be was not allowed to proceed
fnither with bis ridicule of the old
judue. The excited crowd could bekei t
down no longer. They begnu to shout
"We'll elect yon," "We'll send )ou lo

rush was mad for the rpeaVeT. They

over the judge by a vote of lie ni ly two
to one, Corwiu went lo Congress nnd
made bis eiwu speeches, and made them
well. Ou his stennd term In Coi gress,
though a jnmig man, be was largely
spoken of as a candidate for Speaker of
tbe House. When wu take lulu consider.
ntlob that every Congress exce t tbe last
one.bas electcda mau ftibillty r.8 speak

man so yont g na Corwin.
Wheu lu Washington be was imited to

The July of tLe bouse wishing lo nppear

Corwiu if bo "drank condiments iu bis

In lbCO bo was au old mau, but when

therefore, and this spring it was impos
sible to phase him. No matter bowenrr
Inlly lumber aud shingles were culled
and bille d here.be was sure to wtitehnck
that Ibey were not up to tbe etnndar .
Two weeks ago n cur .load of "slur"

but ss soon ns the car arrived the ileal, r

shingles were hardly 'clear butts-," and
he could not unload the, car unless as,
sured of n di-couut of twiiity-five Cents

The Michic.nnder had nnfiVrrd long,
but the end was nigh. II bad inspected
every bunch of shingles on tbat ear. and
be made up bis mind to go tn Albai y nnd
inspect them again. The dealer there bud
never seen blai, and W lvcrine wiilked
into the office ns a woulit-lj, '-purchaser ol

"I've pot exactly what yon want,

"Are tbey all perfect?"
Every one of tbtni."
"No culls in tbe centre of Ihe bunch?'"
Til eat every cull you find. I got Hum

Come lit and see Vm."
Tbe Wnlvirlue quietly pulled out bis
business card and laid it on the disk.
Tbe dealer took it up, and read Ilia

queer feeling lu his kueis.
'I here was an uwful silence as tbey
glared at each ntber, and it was Inlly a

Woman is not t rented perfect.
She bus her fanlta snch as false hair,

But she Ik a great deal better than her
neighbor, aud ahe knows it.
Eve was a woman.
She must have been a model wife, too,
for it cost Adam nothing to keep her in
clothe-.
Still, I don't Ibink she was happy.
She couldn't go to sewing circles and
nlr ber information about everybody she
knew, nor excite the envy of other ladies
by wearing ber new winter bonnet to
church.
Neither eronld she hang over the back
fence nnd talk to her near neighbor.
All tbese blessed privileges were de
