in JKsnn's fables when I was a boy. It
was something like this: A number of
frogs had a good old log in a beautiful
pool of water, whero they enjoyed them-
6clvcs in great harmony and comfort for
many yearl; but their rulers used bad in -
fluences monj them, and hoy at last be-
come dissat'sfiod. Influences wcro brought
to boar upon tho innocent creatures to in -
duco them to call on Juplcr to send down
some new idol Hint thoy might worship
long legged, long-billcd stork. Ho came
quietly in among them, and remained so
for a short time, but finally went to
work eating thc.a up ono by one. Oreat
alarm and troublo ensued among them,
but thoy worn unable to get rid of their
long-billed f.ieud until they wcro .11 eaten

I accomplished its defeat by ono vote,

Now, 3Ir. Speaker, can you or any other
Senator say that that Delaware division is
not now worth 8500,000 moro at a fair
sale. It has been a paying canal ever
since that day. I havo only referred to
this Bubjoct in order to show that my
judgment in that instance whs correct, a

This is ono of tho many reasons why I
havo oonGdcnco in my own judgment in
matters of this kind.
Sir, when 1 rose it was not my intention
to have occupied so much of tho time of
tho ScDato. As an apology, I havo only
to say that my constituents, as muoh so as
those of any other i-enaior upon tnis fl'ior,
havo a deep and an abiding interest in tho
futuro welfare of this good old Common
wealth. Sir, I would bo willing to talk a

be protected.
Tho Senator from Crawford, in tho
course of his remarks yestcrdiy, said ho
could not sco why Senators would voto

The Watch: Iron mar cusiful than Gold.
"I havo now in my hand' said Edward
Everett, "a gold watch, which combines
embellishment and utility in happy pro
portions, and is often oonsidorcd a very
valuablo appendage to tho person of a gen
tleman. Its hands, face, chain, and case
aro of chased and burnished gold. Its
gold seals sparkle with tho ruby, topaz,
sapphire, emerald. I open it, and find

ly furnished case would be a mere shell

without moaning aro made of brass, In

I ask, what is steel T The rep'y is that it
is iron which has undergone a certain pro
cess; So, then, I find tho mainspring,
without which the watch would always bo
motionless, and its hands, figures, and cm
bcllishmcDts but toys, is not of gold (that
is not sufficiently good,) nor of brass (that
would not do,) but of iron. Iron, there
fore, is tho only precious metal I and this

and though constantly at work, and abso
lutely necessary to the mnvemout of socio

watch, aro never thought of, except whon
they requiro their wages, or are in some

Tho political and industrial rights and
privileges of the laboring classes should
not bo lost sight of by legislators. Edu

will bring iron out of iho mountains in

most of the labor of life may bo performed ;

Langworthy W2S then in tho cao with tho
